Today is a day for some hardware tinkering. #ClockworkPi #DevTerm #PicoCalc #Linux
Ich bin jetzt ja schon seit etwas über einem Jahr mit einem #DevTerm R01 von Clockwork Pi aß herum basteln, für die Nichteingeweihten: Das ist ein kleines, richtig schön modulares #Cyberdeck auf Basis verschiedener SoC Systeme. Meines war bis zum Wochenende noch ein Allwinner D1 Risc-V System.
Ja, ich wusste worauf ich mich eingelassen habe, als ich ein System mit einem eher exotischen, eher langsamen Prozessor mit eher wenig RAM bestellt habe, aber trotzdem musste jetzt nach etwas über einem Jahr einfach eine Veränderung her. Vor ca. einem Monat habe ich mir also einen Adapter für ein CM4 bei Clockwork bestellt welcher dann vor einer Woche ankam. Das am letzten Montag bestellte CM4 kam dann auch am Freitag an, also konnte das basteln losgehen...
Der Umbau war wunderbar unkompliziert, kein Werkzeug notwendig, und wenn man das CM nicht verkehrt herum einsetzt (*hust*) ist die Sache in unter 10 Minuten erledigt.
Was soll ich sagen? Ein Unterschied wie Tag und Nacht, das Devterm ist jetzt halbwegs flott unterwegs, jetzt läuft auch ein moderner Browser auf dem System und auch der micro-HDMI Port funktioniert nun.
Kurz: Ich bin zufrieden!
My current setup for digital community archiving projects:
open hardware (#raspberrypi) as interfaces. small screens to avoid sitting *behind* laptop screens (pi 400, #adafruit cyberdeck hat, #clockworkpi #devterm).
portable #scanography for creative tracing and mapping.
graph writing in #obsidian, with self-hosted livesync and other plugins (dataview, graph link types, juggl). can be combined with social media webarchiving.
this all is building on prototyping and experimentation in the cooarchi.net art-doc-archive.net #urbandermatology and #opferschicht projects, and recently in the @MuseumfZK
I have a similar but strange problem on both my #devterm and #uconsole that leads to me never really using them which I would like to fix! I can not seem to charge any batteries inside either device. I have tried 4 different brands. I wonder if this could be a software problem as I use a pretty custom desktop environment setup (e.g. some sort of power management applet is missing?) but it seems unlikely both machines have the same hardware issue? Has anyone encountered this? #clockworkpi
I managed to fix the graphics issues by increasing the used graphics memory. My PC save works fine, too, about 30 FPS / 60 UPS. Also, I set up my #Yubikey for #PGP and #SSH and #Emacs. Here is a photo of Emacs running in #cool_retro_term - the camera doesn't capture the nice looks, though.

Some graphic effects are problematic in #Factorio (running through #box64), related to #OpenGL issues, but regular planet seems playable. Have to load my PC save and test how well that runs.
Menu background with lots of active asteroid collectors was a bit lagy, though.

Finished upgrading. It even runs #Minecraft up to version 1.16.5 - not perfect, but playable. I even got a pair of new, protected 18650 LiIon cells.

Preparing the upgrade of my #Clockworkpi #DevTerm to a #RaspberryPi Compute Module 4, using the official adapter board. The #CM4 should arrive this week.
It was nice with the CM3, but a bit slow. I hope the new core will be noticable.

Finally got my XScreenSaver hack compiled for the #DevTerm. Had some bizarre problems where it didn't like the '-root' flag, even though the code was the same as I've been using on my desktop for a year+ now.
Each line represents one process on the system. Purple for root, green for users. Width of the dashes represents memory usage. The dashes "jiggle" for processes that are active.
I like how it has a different feel for each system it runs on.
Not quite genart, but kind of #dataart.
@NanoRaptor reminds me of the #clockworkpi #DevTerm, but Apple's looks less cool.
Roaming with the #devterm again. Though the tiny built-in keyboard is convenient, this Bluetooth keyboard makes typing much faster.
This photo hint on the #Devterm forum saved my day!

The CM4 assembly instructions show the raspberry Pi the wrong way. I was following the visual like probably many others and couldn't get it to boot...
Just turn it around and you are good. Also be sure to double-check the connection of the adapter.
