moOde on Libre Computer Le Potato
#9
@michaelfour

Actually, after that first spurt of testing, I've been playing with the Le Potato board in other applications.

I think it very unlikely Tim would want to distribute the modified image.
  • It would have been made portable only to the old Le Potato board and not any of the other, newer Libre Computer SBCs.
  • It would not have been modified to accommodate the differences between the two environments. For example, a number of nice moOde configuration features depend on RPiOS-specific features.
  • The whole DAC HAT and associated drivers infrastructure would have to be explored. Perhaps using their "wiring tool" is sufficient; perhaps not. Perhaps using that tool interferes with the existing RPiOS functionality; perhaps not.
  • There likely are yet undiscovered issues similar to my finding that the S905X kernel isn't configured for CIFS.
  • ...
This translates to loads of fun for a determined (or crazy) tinkerer but not for a maintainer.

As for me hosting my modified image somewhere, I'll have to think about that a minute. I did create an account on the Libre Computer equivalent to our forum so I could ask if anyone has ported the LRP to, say, x86-based Debian/Ubuntu/whatever so one wouldn't need an RPi board to use it. We'll see.

Regards,
Kent
