Today I compiled #SBCL the #CommonLisp compiler on my lowend #SBC which has got an #Amlogic #S905X. It has got 4xCortex-A53 which run at 1.4Ghz. It's a #LibreComputer #LePotato board. I was really surprised that the whole process took less than an hour on such a lowend hardware!
I think #Lisp is more interesting that what I imagined before.
Powering up me #LibreComputer #LePotato with #BatoceraLinux for my cousins. Last time I did so, I remember it had some bug with storage. Checking to see if the bug is still there to report.

Ugh.
As soon as I got the #LePotato up and running again, it's already back offline. It's refusing to see any external drives, my wifi adapter, and the Ethernet connection. Basically, everything that would be needed to use it as a simple server is failing.
I'm sure that with enough troubleshooting I could get this back online (again)... But I think I've had enough of this #SBC and will be replacing it with a #Lenovo #TinyPC
My #gopher site has been offline for a bit. I was running it on #lepotato and only recently got around to troubleshooting. I figured it would be an issue with the Wi-Fi dongle, since I also couldn't SSH into the system. Well, as it turns out, apparently the SD got corrupted and I've completely lost all the files and configurations.
So... It might be a little while before I get it back online.
Has anyone had any luck getting an #mmdvm hat to function on a any of the SBCs from @librecomputer, or more specifically, #lepotato?
I'm thinking about upgrading my #dmr #hotspot, and was considering a libre board over a pi for the project. I've heard the #gpio pins can be "remapped," so to speak, at the software level, but I don't know if alone would be enough for compatibility.

Hi! Not sure this is helpful 5+ months after you asked, but #LibreComputer recently published instructions on how to disable USB scanning at boot on their boards, including #LePotato. Basically, add
preboot=
to boot.ini on the first partition.
Here's the link to the instructions:
https://hub.libre.computer/t/how-to-disable-usb-scanning-at-boot-on-libre-computer-boards/2814
The u-boot USB stack is not as fault tolerant as Linux. Any failure that occur when scanning and enumerating USB devices has the potential to cause unhandled hard faults that will result in the system rebooting. There are a lot of problematic USB devices out there and this can cause boot loops which is unwanted behavior. To avoid the boot loops, you can disable USB scanning at startup if your OS is not on USB storage. Create file called boot.ini on your first partition (usually mounted at /bo...
