Apr 17 18:02:00: EvilDragon: It just kept running. It was a very early build of TIs testing OS, I don't think it had any throttling in there yet.
Apr 17 17:46:15: EvilDragon: :D That won't happen. I was running the OMAP5 with full cpu stress for 2 hours on the devboard without heatsink. It reached a surface temperature...
Apr 17 17:02:21: EvilDragon: I think it also can do 500MHz, but maybe the device tree for the IGEP is a bit different?
Apr 17 16:33:55: EvilDragon: But they are not readily available like that. The copper one is available like that (with the single fins), but not the aluminium ones. The...
Apr 17 16:04:25: EvilDragon: Heh, yeah ;) Capping the SoC is the easy thing ,)
Apr 17 15:32:31: EvilDragon: Hm, hard to tell, as this depends on multiple things. Basically, an SoC throttles if it overheats. So the general idea is to get the heat away...
Apr 17 15:12:31: EvilDragon: Exactly, because what most people do on smartphones and tablets is browsing websites. It's important that these load up fast, hence the high-power...
Apr 17 04:37:26: EvilDragon: Of course they throttle. They all throttle when the CPU reaches critical temperature. But until that happens, they will heat themselves up - and...
Apr 16 23:57:15: EvilDragon: Well, I am pretty sure it will be impossible to keep it running for an extended period of time with full CPU strength. That doesn't work for ANY...
Apr 16 17:13:17: EvilDragon: Yes, that's for sure :) A fully assembled Pyra, inside the GamesCom halls (and in my home)
Apr 16 16:18:22: EvilDragon: The current solution (as can be seen here) has already been proven years ago that it improves the situation vastly. While a Pyra without that...
Apr 15 23:17:49: EvilDragon: Not necessarily, it depends on the amount of heat produced and whether you have a fan or not. The fan would be used to blow air through the fins...
Apr 15 20:30:23: EvilDragon: Hm, is there a chance the JAVA stuff will run a bit faster? There's a full Lionheart Remake for Java and it ran almost fullspeed (years ago...) It...
Apr 15 16:54:09: EvilDragon: Updated the first post :D Wow, 82 pictures already :D
Apr 15 13:50:29: EvilDragon: Correct :)
Apr 15 11:56:12: EvilDragon: Nope, I'm doing the assembly and mods at home :) BTW: The first round of case material samples has also arrived today, so I guess I need to make...
Apr 15 10:24:12: EvilDragon: Sounds horrible :D Got up at 11am, I'm now back at work :)
Apr 15 04:14:40: EvilDragon: Weekend is over for me now (6:13 am) :) I continued the assembly and will post the pictures later today. We're getting there :D Off to bed now,...
Apr 13 10:42:17: EvilDragon: Just a normal capacitor replacement :) I'm offering these in my shop as well :)
Apr 13 08:14:37: EvilDragon: You can boot from USB and then test the flash from there.
Apr 11 23:16:56: EvilDragon: Not ignoring you, and I have received the emails. I'm still in the process of catching up with everything, and I'm afraid due to the time where I...
Apr 11 20:13:30: Repo: Barony: Blessed Addition - 3.2.3.06 - Update
Apr 11 13:54:21: EvilDragon: Sounds good :) Hopefully they can do it in time, as I can imagine that a lot of backers of this system want to run Linux on it... it's the typical...
Apr 11 13:52:18: EvilDragon: I have the package, but I'm at work and I'm doing the assembly at home :D I've got an Amiga and two consoles to mod today, so I'm not sure I'll...
Apr 11 11:58:11: EvilDragon: Unfortunately, it can't be changed, it's soldered onto the PCB - but we can replace the full unit in this case.
Apr 11 11:57:17: EvilDragon: :)
Apr 11 11:53:20: EvilDragon: Yes, but you can also preorder it after that period from my shop ;) EDIT: Just noticed... they are actively advertising Ubuntu on their...
Apr 11 00:33:25: EvilDragon: Oh, come on, it's not even 35 hours after you sent me the refund payment details.
Apr 10 16:27:42: Repo: TIC-80 - 0.70.6.2 - Update
Apr 10 15:28:29: EvilDragon: Yes. We might not be able to fix all cosmetical issues, but at least most of them. About the prototype assembly: According to tracking, the...
Apr 10 12:39:57: EvilDragon: Aaand a quick update: @azouls (he introduced himself in the Pyra Render spectrum thread, he's one of the guys actively working on our moulds now)...
