to paraphrase that one veterinary handbook; if you need to get a Linux SoC to work:

  • DON'T TRUST A VENDOR
  • USE YOUR BRAIN
  • USE DRUGS
  • when i say "USE DRUGS" i mean literally use drugs. alcohol. amphetamines. opioids. trust me, by the time you're done, your soul will be too ragged to survive without

    thinks

    The cat vendor is faster and has sharper teeth and nails lawyers and NDAs than you do. It has 'no code of ethics' or considerations for its own future. In a fair fight it will win.

    advice still works, huh

    i spent far too much time on this
    @whitequark imo 2 and 3 are not in the right order
    @whitequark "... and has sharper NDAs and lawyers than you do." would work to include more from the previous post
    @lunareclipse i considered it but the mental image of a feral vendor was too funny to pass on
    @whitequark uncomfortably accurate advice
    @nirya years of industry experience encapsulated in a single .jpeg
    @whitequark all fights against the vendor are unfair until proven otherwise
    @whitequark (me trying to instate all the dependencies over cross-compiling the SoC)
