    Hackability

    Hi, So, the Pandora had quite a few solderpads available and hardware hacks done. What can we expect from the Pyra? Unpopulated MIPI CSI pads for a camera add-on? Internal USB pads? JTAG? Also, having the case files from the very beginning will offer a lot of possibilities for case mods of all...

    Uses for the Cortex-M4 cores on the OMAP5?

    Hi, What are realistic use-cases for the two Cortex-M4 cores on the OMAP5? I've read they're meant for offloading tasks like handling SMS, phone calls, audio and video en-/decoding but what's the DSP for, then? And if the modem is attached to a serial interface, is there anything to offload...

    Separate pads for the space key?

    Hi, Would it be possible to have separate (or maybe separable by scratching a connection?) contact pads for the space key on the pcb so that you could cut the space key in half and have one more key on your Pyra keyboard? I think I'd like another key more than the wider space key. I'm not sure...

    Ambient light sensor for automatic backlight adjustment?

    Hi, Will the Pyra have an ambient light sensor for automatic backlight control? I hadn't used my Pandora for a while and when I turned it on the other day, I noticed how much it bugs me having to control the backlight manually. (Btw.: Couldn't you solder a photodiode to one of the empty LED...

    Screen not working

    Hi, I've just got my upgraded Pandora (CC -> 512MB GC) back from ED and the LCD's not turning on. I've opened the lower half of the device and to check if the display cable was connected to the board which it was. I replugged and fastened it just to be sure but it didn't help. Any ideas? I...

    Choosing a game engine

    Hi, I've been wanting to try some game development for quite some time now but couldn't find a game engine supporting and actually running / being usable on all the platforms I want (Windows, Linux, Pandora and Android). I've been looking at: MOAI, which I quite like, although it's more or less...

    Release Sputnik

    Hi, I've made a PND of Sputnik, a wiki written in Lua. It uses git (included in the PND) as a storage backend which I hope to be very cool to synchronize with across devices. Just run the app and point your favorite browser at localhost:8080 or edit the files in the wiki-data directory...

    Release Pidgin 2.10.9

    Hi, I finally managed to compile Pidgin with working OTR encryption Pidgin version is 2.10.6, libotr and pidgin-otr are 4.0.0 . The pnd also includes recent versions of gnutls, libgcrypt and libgpg-error which pidgin and libotr should use instead of the ones on the Pandora. It also includes the...

EDIT: And I found the first bug... Once the terminal of...

    Otr Encryption

    Hi, I'd like to issue a feature request :D Could somebody compile Pidgin with the OTR (Off the record encryption) plugin build in (Or maybe as a seperate pnd)? It works with the debian version of pidgin but I don't want to have debian running for just one feature :D I tried this myself once...

    SD Card Instability

    Hi, I've got two 32GB Class 10 Transcend SDHC cards formatted with ext3 in my Pandora and every once in a while (mostly while under some I/O load, especially while writing lots of smaller files... But sometimes also while running Pidgin.) there are some errors in dmesg about something trying...

    3G over USB

    The following is more of a documentation of my struggle with getting this to work than a how-to, so please read this USB 3G guide first and use google and your brain a lot. Also, we're toying with root-rights, opkg and writing to NAND. It's possible that things go horribly wrong. (They didn't...

    Dual-microsd To Sd Adaptors?

    Do Dual-MicroSD to SD-Card adapters exist? I know the ones you use to scale up one MicroSD card to SD form factor, but are there SD-Cards that can hold two MicroSDs? I didn't find nothing on google. =(

    Mpx (multi Pointer X-server)

    The MPX-branch of X has recently been merged with the master branch of the X-server. As far as I understood, the Pandora will be able to (and probably will most of the time) run the X-server. So you could enable the multicursor support and have three or more pointers on the screen (Touchscreen...
