Compiling yet another Buildroot image I’m 99% sure will fail… but at least this time the soundtrack is Sunshine by Alice in Chains, so the suffering feels poetic ❤️

If the build breaks, at least the vibe doesn’t 🤟🏻

Trying to build a GUI Linux distro with Buildroot. Just Buildroot. No Debian, no Arch. Just pain 🫩

Xorg? Black screen. Wayland? Sounds like a fantasy novel. Kernel panic? Oh yeah, got that too 🫨

But I will make this work, because minimalism deserves a desktop 🤟🏻

Recalbox 10 is finally here! 🎮

An impressive update for Raspberry Pi, Steam Deck, CRT and even JAMMA. The team behind Recalbox does remarkable quality work — and on top of that, they're super nice!

Recalbox 10 is available: the most ambitious version ever created

After more than 10 years of existence, Recalbox reaches a decisive milestone with the release of version 10 — far more than a simple update. This new iteration marks a true turning point for the distribution, with the integration of new hardware, new systems, a complete overhaul of the user inter

Some of these dongles actually work on #zeST. But:
- with an outdated stable release of #Buildroot from 2024.
- with an outdated #Linux kernel from 2023.

So older devices may be working, newer devices absolutely not.

After way too many attempts, I finally got a custom GRUB2 EFI bootloader built with Buildroot showing a splash image at boot on real hardware 🎉

The secret? insmod gfxterm_background + font in the right path.

Simple in theory, painful in practice 🤕

Caca pour virer le «.:» dans le PATH mais je ne sais pas d'où il vient ...

```Bash
export PATH="${PATH//.:/}"
```

Sans ça, buildroot veut pas compiler :(

#unix #path #bash #buildroot

So, Infix OS has been upgraded to #buildroot 2026.02 LTS well in time for our 26.03 release. We've actually been tracking it since -rc1, so this was more of a formality to rebase and rerun our regression tests. Mattias (lazzer) worked relentlessly on this, while still managing to do a ton of other things as well.

Looking forward to our next release, hopefully my BPi-R64 porting work will be done by then as well 🤩

DShanPi-A1 AI Education Rockchip RK3576 SBC features HDMI input and output ports, dual GbE

DshanPi-A1 AI Education is a single board computer (SBC) powered by a Rockchip RK3576 octa-core Cortex-A72/A53 SoC, and paired with up to 8GB RAM and 64GB eMMC flash, which I first discovered in the Linux 6.19 changelog. The board features HDMI 2.1 video output, a mini HDMI video input port, a MIPI DSI display interface, two MIPI CSI connectors for up to four cameras, dual GbE, an M.2 Key-E socket for WiFi and Bluetooth, a few USB ports, and a 40-pin GPIO header compatible with some Raspberry Pi HAT boards. DShanPi-A1 specifications: SoC – Rockchip RK3576 CPU – Octa-core CPU with 4x Cortex-A72 cores at 2.2 GHz, 4x Cortex-A53 cores at 2.0 GHz (1.6GHz for Industrial and Automotive) GPU – Arm Mali-G52 MC3 GPU with support for OpenGL ES 1.1, 2.0, and 3.2, OpenCL 2.0, and Vulkan 1.2 NPU – 6 TOPS (INT8) AI accelerator with support for INT4, INT8,

I'm getting ideas again… I've been thinking for a while that a #Buildroot config for #Pinephone would be nice. I'm not really thinking of a fully working phone setup (though if someone wants to make that I'm curious), and more so I could use the A/B boot setup I have for Buildroot to quickly experiment with kernel changes. In pmOS I still can't install two kernels in parallel, so if one of my experiments breaks the kernel to the point of not booting far enough for USB network I have to open the phone, remove the battery, remove the SD card, fix it manually, and reverse. Annoying, and A/B boot avoids it.

And then the realization hit: U-Boot should be able to chainload U-Boot, right? So I could even include a second U-Boot in the A/B slots for experiments with that. Maybe not a perfect test, but should reduce the probability of having to manually fix it a lot…

Motivation to experiment is much higher if falling back from a failed experiment takes maybe 30 seconds, not 5 minutes.
