been cracking away at the @PINE64 #ox64 board yet again, working on learning debugging tools for the kernel to try and at least find the cause of this kernel panic that's been plaguing me. it really feels like there's no winning with this board. every time I get a driver to try and make work there's issues. I still have yet to get spi to do anything but that's probably just because I need to read more documentation on device trees /sigh
regardless, while it works I'm having a lot of fun with the thing. I've moved as much dev environment as I can onto the board itself, which right now has just been devicetree stuff but it *could* do a lot more. I've had it running lynx and irssi without issues and it's even handing ssh just fine thanks to the wi-fi drivers. keyboard should even be easy, in theory, because linux has a gpio bitbanged ps/2 keyboard driver.
that being said, even if I do get a working hardware configuration, this thing is far from ready for prime time.
