Slackware inside Pyra

A quick update: -switched to 5.10.x kernel, proper X driver + rotation is now working -I now see all audio controls (bluetooth, tuner, etc.), but still no speaker output -found out that some keys (at least the undescore) are missing under X despite using the same config file as PyraOS...

@EvilDragon seems that the link on the server doesn't work anymore...

Hi, @EvilDragon. http://slackware.openpandora.org/pandora and http://slackware.openpandora.org/pyra stopped working.
Nothing changed on my side.

The links are back, didn't notice that the server config has changed, corrected my stuff.
Pandora users, feel free to install Slackware for Pandora: http://slackware.openpandora.org/pandora/sl4p/sl4p-14.2/rootfs/
Pyra users, feel free to install Slackware for Pyra: http://slackware.openpandora.org/pyra/sl4p/sl4p-testing/

Mmm, Slackware will no longer boot. I have upgrade eMMC to Bookworm. I was using RISC OS from eMMC for a long time (before it was Bullseye) and Slackware or Bookworm from card. After reflashing, the Slackware card is ignored on start, Bookworm and RISC OS are working from card.
Wrote a second from Image... the same. The content of the Slackware cards looks ok.
Any Ideas? I want test RISC OS Direct on Slackware.

Something would have changed in the bootloader with this upgrade ?
What are the RISC OS boot parameters ?

 

[Raik]

I'm not know what the changes are.
Not sure what you need. The complete "Loader" (the RISC OS boot partition) files you find here .

 

[Linux-SWAT]

The uenv "files" look different.
How did you perform the Bookworm upgrade ?
What do you mean by "I want test RISC OS Direct on Slackware" ?

 

[Raik]

I remove RISC OS from EMMC and flash the Pyra via the Installer-Image ;-)

Index of /images/bookworm/

I want to try RISC OS as an executable under Slackware as I describe for Bookworm here

https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/threads/risc-os.77740/post-1725073.

For me it works on different devices... Pi500+, Pinephone with Mobian, Pinebook Pro with Manjaro or Debian, ...
Why not with Slackware ;-)

Your link without the ending dot:

I'll check that.

Sorry for the delay, was AFK for a while.
I tried to flash the Pyra with the previously downloaded image, but the image doesn't seem to work, I only got a flash from the power button and that's all.

 

[pimaster]

Newer version of uBoot require the power button to be held down until the device gets past the early boot stage.
If it is flashing yellow, hold the power until it turns green.
This also prevents the device from booting when being plugged in. It still does a boot of sort, but doesn't see the power button being held and shuts down.

 

[Raik]

Yes, one of the changes is that the Pyra no longer boots if power supplier is being plugged in. I like it.
Power on has to pressed a bit longer.
Not sure if there other changes in boot process.
