Hi, I uploaded a new version of ili9488\_fb.ko. Replace the old one in /usr/lib. I think it would fix fbterm rendering. ---

Hi, I’ve uploaded Lyra Ubuntu to PicoCalc, so far it’s working via the terminal. Can you advise me on how to move the screen and keyboard? ---

1.Setup build env: > **[SDK Environment Deployment(x86\_64 platform) | LUCKFOX WIKI](https://wiki.luckfox.com/Luckfox-Lyra/SDK/)** > > omni3576 RK3576 Core Board I don’t know if the official ubuntu image is built via the same toolchain. Maybe you should ask luckfox for help. 2.get the kernel devel header of your ubuntu image 3.modify makefile, change kernel header location and cross compiler prefix 4.modify the device tree of your ubuntu kernel, according to the dts file on github. 5.build drivers and load them. ---

Thanks for the information, I’ll try it this weekend. Hopefully it works. ---

I’ve been poking around in the keyboard firmware, and I’ve created a branch that is supposed to add a i2c message sent to the MCU on long and short press of the power button, instead of shutting things down. This would have to be enabled by setting a flag over I2C first. I’ve also added a way to adjust the long press time for the button. all I know is that it compiles - I don’t have anything to test this stuff on currently. I wouldn’t mind if someone wanted to see how this works, of course some Linux kernel stuff will also be needed to make use of any of it. > **[GitHub - benklop/PicoCalc at power-mgmt](https://github.com/benklop/PicoCalc/tree/power-mgmt)** > > power-mgmt ---

So that’s one way to get internet then, Is the board plug and play with your same guide for the Lyra standard board? We would just need to cut some space for the Port. and would sound work with this or still need to hack it. ---

I think the only difference between lyra and lyra plus should be kernel device tree. ---

You have it booting or still working on it. How about the Lyra pro max.? ---

Kbd driver supports reading battery percent, setting screen backlight and emulating mouse. But I think the preloaded keyboard firmware has a bug, which causes battery percent to be reported as zero. Fix a bug in LCD driver, fbterm works now. w3m, openssh, mosh and gcc are included. ---

Looks great. I cannot test it now because my screen is broke. Looking forward to try it out. ---

I mean the rootfs.img for the Lyra (from stock ubuntu image). I tried dd-ing it on the sd but it looks like it needs a partition structure. An it doesn’t boot. ---

My device is /dev/mmcblk0. I did not specify a partition number as it was partitionned for something else before. fdisk tells me that there is no partition table on the sd after writing it. Do I need a dos partition table with a single fat32 partition? ---
