Well, that was an interesting adventure in electronics! This took about 3 days, but I finally got serial terminal output with one of the Dragonboard 410c I got given as junk! An interesting process, including making my own 1.8V USB->Serial on a breadboard with a level shifter! I finally got the bootloader up!

Perhaps you remember I am occassionally running #emacs on android with speechd-el and espeak-ng providing speech output. Up to now I was using termux for doing that.
Now I'm trying to get it to run on a pixel 9A with @GrapheneOS and the terminal app with #avf under the hood.

The thing is I'd like to get more up to date packages in that virtualized environment running on my phone. I'd prefer #ArchLinuxARM based image or #Debian testing. Upgrading it by following debian's instructions I am getting broken image. I have found there's nixos-avf however I can't find more.

Do you know if someone has succeeded building other images that might help me to get to my goal easier?

Any Tintin++ users out there willing to share tips? This is the only #MUD client I can get working on #Stormux, and to be honest, the scripting just to add a simple trigger and the error messages are confusing to me. I'm trying to set up some simple triggers for Erion MUD and having a hard time figuring out what I'm doing.

Question to #blind #linux users: I'm stuck using my #RaspberryPi500 as my computer for a bit because my PC quit working. Can anyone recommend a #Mastodon client? I'm on #Stormux, based on #ArchLinuxArm.

Falls ihr auch gerade mal wieder #ArchLinuxARM bzw. DanctNIX auf dem #Pinephone Pro ausprobieren wollt und euch wundert, warum die Kamera nicht funktioniert: #Pipewire & Co. sind eure neuen Freunde der Bildaufzeichnung und die entsprechenden Pakete scheinen nicht vorinstalliert zu sein. Megapixels läuft nicht OOTB und Snapshot benötigt mindestens noch gst-plugin-libcamera.

Jetzt muss ich nur noch herausfinden, warum Snapshot crasht, wenn es das Bild abspeichert.
