  1. Updating an charging up my two project devices. #oneplus6 with #postmarketos edge and #dcromapad2 running #ubuntu on #riscv for #fosdem tomorrow!

    I‘m really looking forward to meeting some of my heroes of free software, hardware (eg yuning liang) as well as the free social web (@Gargron)

    Feel free to approach me. I‘ll be wearing a blue led nametag with my handle.

  2. Hello world! I have news about the #dcromapad2

    After successfully building a kernel and installing it to an sd card, the system didnt recognizes it. Turns out, the device runs uboot and needs a very specific card layout with 5-6 partitions it seems.

    I frankensteined a copy of a copy of the shipped debian image to include the #postmarketOS kernel, initramfs and rootfs.

    Now the device bootloops with no output until I rip out the card. Its a step, but a small one.

  3. Another day, another update on #riscv with the #dcromapad2

    I have now again woken up much too early for a sunday because I cant let go of porting my device to postmarketOS.

    I have now found a specific kernel for the spacemit k1 soc. I have no idea if this is gonna work but the chinese server I'm downloading it from is making it exciting with 135 KB/s!!!

    Anyway, will update once I have news. :)

  4. boy oh boy. that was a tough day with #riscv and the #dcromapad2

    turns out, both OSs (ubuntu and debian) that were shipped do work but they are so heavily patched that a simple upgrade will brick them.

    ask me how I know! :D

    the fact I made a copy of the sd card saved my day so I could at least use the tablet somewhat today.

    deepcomputing is aware of the issue and provided a video and source for a new image. will attempt reflashing tomorrow. wish me luck.

    let me know of any questiond! bye
