I mean at worst one could use like a @Raspberry_Pi #Pi0W or #Pi0W2 if not a #CM3(lite) and make it a #thicc and #chonky brick like a #phat #Iridium or classic #NokiaCommunicator...

Ideally with like a good thumb-#keyboard and rugged case so it survives being flushed down the toilet...

#BonusPoints if it takes standard 18650 #LiIon / #LiPo or even 21700 #LiFePo4 cells...

But in the end it's a different scope.

OS/1337 aims to be the #Software-esque equivalent of "you want to build a gadget? Just shove a @Raspberry_Pi #Pi0W / #Pi0W2 in it!" and thus be the slate for other projects of mine and also a nice and versatile #rescue system that could be configured [ahead of time!] to [Reverse-]#SSH from a system, providing a cornerstone to build something like a #vendor-independent #LOM / #BMC to #upcycle older systems into #headless #servers!

@paulrickards I assume something based on the @Raspberry_Pi #PiPico / #RP2040 with a matching #Ethernet-HAT would be able to to it.

Espechally since that #uC is easy to obtain and relatively cheap (compared to a #Pi0 / #Pi0W which were used for the #DreamPi #Dialup adaptor and are still not widely available at #MSRP)...

The tricky part would be #Firmware, not #Hardware....

@0x17 also ich wunder' mich warum mensch für's flashing extra was komplexeres zusammenstellt als nen #PiPico oder #Pi0W + Software...

Oder bauste soviele custom boards dass sich eigenes Tooling dafür lohnt?

@landley That being said the #Pi0W and #Pi0W2 can be run with batteries and there are HATs to do so.

But I giess we both agree that this is even less elegant than me shoving a Keyboard on a crappy smartphone m amd the only reason to target the #Pi0 is because code that runs on it will run on all other #RaspberryPi #SBCs and almost all clones with no changes.

Not optimal OFC, but it'll run...
