Pandora Stalker

Dec 09 2022 13:54:59 UTC: hns: I'd vote for Risca. As far as I see it was his research and idea to find and use the threshold mechanism. Going beyond that is "just debugging" and "making more user friendly"...
Dec 08 2022 04:48:20 UTC: EvilDragon: Nice, thanks :) I could try to implement that into the normal OS, if that's okay with you.
Dec 08 2022 04:46:56 UTC: EvilDragon: Okay, this is one of the most critical issues I'm having to deal with at the moment: The RAM Timing / Calibration / Setup in Pyra's U-Boot. What's the problem? Multiple CPU boards have the issue that they don't boot at all, only sometimes or most of the times. The problem is that with these...
Dec 08 2022 04:22:40 UTC: EvilDragon: The RAM issue is one of the weird mysteries we still need to fix! We have multiple U-Boots available where different RAM parameters are being set, and some are working a lot more reliable already. Heck, it's even weirder: Some units only work with one setup while others need a different one...
Dec 08 2022 04:15:16 UTC: EvilDragon: Quick answer about the OpenPandora Ltd. / GmbH thingy: Yes, that was quite a sad story... but as others mentioned: There were two different companies. Mine (OpenPandora GmbH) and Craigs (OpenPandora Ltd.). I tried to support all remaining customers of OpenPandora Ltd. When we moved the...
Dec 08 2022 03:37:47 UTC: EvilDragon: Sorry for the issue, fixed that!
Dec 08 2022 03:36:14 UTC: EvilDragon: Yep, money ressources is basically the biggest issue for anything Pyra related. If someone would sponsor me a great amount of money, I'd use it to fully redesign the case from scratch and create a new CPU-Board right away. It's always money that holds up good hardware ideas :( Time is not that...
Dec 08 2022 03:22:06 UTC: EvilDragon: Oooh, really nice seeing updates :D Question is... who should get the bounty now. Any ideas? Should we share it to anyone involved?
Dec 08 2022 03:17:09 UTC: EvilDragon: I thought the WIZ had some OLED parasites that slowly ate up the screen, causing black spots!
Dec 08 2022 03:14:48 UTC: EvilDragon: Sorry for the lack of replies, I'm still trying to catch up with things everywhere, I'm in urgent need of multiple cloned copies of myself :) I'm afraid there's not much that can be done though :( If the unit doesn't even show any reaction, it needs some low-level checking of what the issue...
Dec 08 2022 03:07:19 UTC: EvilDragon: The Pyra WIki or the Pandora Wiki? The Pyra one should work, the Pandroa is not really properly implemented (as that only works if it's on the same domain, I need to fix that). Not sure about the repo though, that was custom made. Did we even LINK the login to the Xenforo logins?
Dec 08 2022 03:05:13 UTC: EvilDragon: Oh boy - what have I missed here due to not having the time lately. Sorry about that, I'll look into JDTays posts right away and will try to clean up. This thread shall also be moved to different location, it doesn't have much to do with the Pandora, I'd say :)
Dec 08 2022 03:00:58 UTC: EvilDragon: Yes, it's really unfortunate what happened there, and it's not the fault of any user. Ah, not 100% correct. He did still have money when he produced the iControlPad 1, and the iControlPad 2 was VERY successfully backed on Kickstarter. The problem was that he used the same nubs the Pandora had...
Dec 07 2022 10:49:44 UTC: Repo: Billy Frontier - 1.1.0.01 - New
Nov 29 2022 10:27:11 UTC: hns: Just a note: the fix (https://github.com/Risca/pyra_vol_mon/commit/f409d7f9ced10d4f4a48e13d0ff1b141e487bbdd) to collect subprocess(es) should IMHO be run after, not just before spawning a new execute_callback after a successful read_value_and_update_thresholds(). I.e. one wait() for one fork()...
Nov 28 2022 11:37:06 UTC: hns: First test results: threshold calculation seems to be improved, but driver reports -EBUSY after a while, when trying to set threshold values in the driver. May be related to calibration. E.g. Failed to enable upper threshold 1149: -16 Failed to enable lower threshold 922: -16
Nov 26 2022 20:29:46 UTC: hns: I'm close to some fixes - but unfortuantely I had to upgrade my build host and there is some issue with the (new) gcc and (old) cross compiler toolchains so that I can not yet recompile the kernel and do further testing.
Nov 25 2022 14:15:01 UTC: hns: Have been testing a little. 1. well, values reported are 0..1250 (converted to mV by the calibration functions) but MAX value default is 2500. So why do we need min and max at all, if the value is the measured mV range (which is known to be based on the adc reference voltage of 1.2V and will not...
Nov 24 2022 20:26:33 UTC: hns: Quick note: latest (and full) pyra_vol_mon is now integrated into Letux tree (v6.1-rc6): https://git.goldelico.com/?p=letux-kernel.git;a=tree;f=Letux/root/pyra_vol_mon;h=091bf7ef5e3d97e49a2e5bfe6d49dbc3e4a816f1;hb=99441d84f2ba3352b265a1f6724e34544eb83770 Haven't tried to run or check for the...
Nov 20 2022 07:14:40 UTC: hns: Well, -rc (or "Prepatch") kernels are never "useable" since they are development and integration snapshots and Letux can't be better than Linus... See: https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html But v6.1 will likely become the next longterm kernel with long-lasting upstream support which...
Nov 20 2022 06:59:20 UTC: hns: Good Bye #twitter, #musk. This is the last message we will post here. We are based on the #Enlightenment, rational… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Nov 19 2022 10:15:20 UTC: hns: Yes, it is the power controller chip which also monitors battery, charger plug-in etc. with the same circuit (just on a different channel). But that is far from being as power hungry as the M4 or A15 cores running background tasks. So kudos to risca for finding the palmas gpadc threshold feature...
