DIETPI RELEASES 8.12 COMES WITH A NEW IMAGE FOR THE NANOPI R6S AND THE RADXA ROCK 5B

Version 8.12 of this Linux distribution targeted for SBCs was released by DietPi this month. The inclusion of compatibility for the OKdo ROCK 5B and NanoPi R6S SBCs is particularly noteworthy. The latest top-of-the-line Rockchip RK3588 SoC with quad Cortex-A76 and quad Cortex-A55 is included in the ROCK 5B. In comparison to solutions like Debian, Raspberry Pi OS, and Armbian, what makes DietPi attractive as an operating system for both higher-end and lower-end SBCs is that it places a major emphasis on being the most efficient. Smaller binary size, less RAM utilization, and better performance are the results of this.

Possibly Building a Raspberry Pi 5 Home Theater in the Future.

There was a time when I would have gotten the news about the Raspberry Pi 5 launch much sooner. I’ve always liked the idea of these single board computers, and Raspberry Pi has been and continues to be a standard. The trouble for me is finding a use for them. I have always got a bunch of decaying technology sitting around waiting for a purpose. I decided to look into it for a home theater…

How to Change the Password of the Root Account for Logging in to the OK-MX9352-C SBC?

This article applies to the Forlinx OK-MX9352-C platform with Linux 5.15.52 operating system.

How to change the root account and password for logging in to the Single board computer?

root@ok-mx93:~# passwd root //Modify root password command

New password://Enter the new password (The password is not displayed, just type it directly);

Retype new password://Then follow the instruction retype the password

passwd: password updated successfully

The password is successfully changed.

Then we can use new password to restart the EVK.

OKMX9352-C Single Board Computer

The default root user does not have a password set. To increase security, we can set a password with the password command. However, if the board is mass-produced, manually setting the passwords one by one will be very tedious. Therefore, we need a way to have the EVK automatically come with a default password after the re-burning.

Specific conduction is as follows:

1. After the board boots, set the password for the root user with the password command.

2. Two new files are created in the /etc directory: passwd and shadow.

3. Unzip the filesystem image into the development environment and put the above two files into the /etc directory, replace the previous file with the same name and unzip it again.

4. Re-burn this file system image to the EVK.

I recently acquired this little single board computer. It is a BBC Microbit which is designed to help teach computing. The website supports both block programming and Javascript. I did the first block programming heart lesson. It was extremely easy. There is an online emulator so you can go through the steps to build your program and when you are done, download it to your PC. It shows up as a .hex file which you then can copy to your microbit through the USB cable which is also what powers the card. The card has a 5 x 5 matrix display as you can see in the picture. The oval with the two dots is a touch sensor. It has a compass, an accelerometer, 19 GPIO pins, Bluetooth and a microphone. So lots of things to play with. I got this as a starter kit, so it had an adapter so it could be plugged into a breadboard along with wires, resistors and LEDs. So this could be a lot of fun.

It's a little bit further into your relationship with art student!Bakugo and you've been working together now for the good portion of two semesters...

Except for whatever reason, your professor assigns him a different model for the upcoming final, and when you go to look for him after class (since at the announcement, he stormed out of the room in frustration, slamming back his desk and knocking over the overflowing recycling bin by the door), you find him weeping in frustration in the janitor's closet next door adhfnlkjadshfk

?!?!??!! A fellow SBC/Weird Chinese Handhelds enjoyer?!!?!? Aaaa!!! @gundambradley

this morning I got maybe 85% of the way done with a script to auto-softblock anyone that tries to follow me, but the tumblr.js library seems to claim the /block API endpoint just doesn't exist and I assume staff considers that lower priority than the bot swarm so I'm stuck waiting for them again. the number of bot followers to this account has since passed 2k.

Starting to design my deck. It's going to be a raspberry pi 4 on the raspberry pi touchscreen. I want to add a keyboard and battery to it, not sure on hardware for that yet.

I've been wanting to do a deck for years, ever since I first watched Hackers tbh. I don't need one, but these parts and more have been sitting around my place for too long. Time for them to have a purpose.

I'm going to design and 3d print the case myself. Codenamed Project Ara (Altar) for reference.
