@kawaiipunk at that exact moment in time, actively working on 2 yes, i guess you could say that's pretty focused :blobcheeky:

ok im closing all my pine64/pinebookpro related tabs because this is not gonna get anywhere

Show thread

lol they removed the "PINE64 is an open source platform from both hardware to software"
because it just isn't

Show thread

aaaa "Pinebook Pro only supports PCIe" then why is it listed as a B+M M.2 port that should provide USB as well

@linear good because I was about to ask that :P from a bit of research there's bigmessowires.com/usb-wombat/ for ADB which is very bulky and expensive,
there's also an arduino implementation for ADB which looks much nicer: github.com/Difegue/Chaotic-Rea (needs an extra board to connect it to the mini-din)
github.com/Harvie/ps2dev seems to have ps/2 emulation done

pcb would be quite simple, connecting both the connectors to an arduino, basically

@haskal looking further at eli.gladman.cc/blog/2020/06/23 I think I should be able to guesstimate the size pretty well as NVMe is standardised, will let you know about any project updates

@linear boop! I would like to take a look at desigining a lil' pcb for this :3

ahh more interesting pcb project ideas on the TL :P

@linear also hm interesting, misskey does mentions wrong, appearing as social.pixie.town instead of pixie.town (webfinger redirect)

that flat-flex (friday :thounking:) cable doesn't look happy at all either

@haskal like, i would look into this but I'd need some measurements of the slot because it's unfindable?

tbh i hope someone proves me wrong on this thread but i kinda doubt it,,,

the state of open hardware stuff is real fuckin sad in general tbqh, you can call your shit that even with just gerbers+schema, you can keep your actually usable design source fully private and/or in proprietary $112489138 garbageware

Show thread

literally the only board files linked on the wiki page are **jpeg** screenshots of gerbers for the irrelevant USB to eMMC converter..

Show thread

this design is from 2019-09-05 *surely* they would've had time to publish shit by now

Show thread

why publish just silkscreen layers??? what's the point in that??
