I spend a bit of time dissecting the #sunpci driver in #ghidra. And I can now boot the SunPCi from my own code! Using the #solaris driver still.
Some terrifying conclusions:
The windowed output in the SunPCi userspace application comes from repeatedly read()ing the /dev/sunpcidrv0 node. That just returns some raw video data and mode information.
Userspace contains a VGA emulator itself. Whenever it doesn't understand something it just switches to the external VGA.

Pour a drink for the TicWatch. I loved their dual display and insane battery life. Sadly, they could not keep up with the latest WearOS versions.

The biggest risk with AI isn't evil robots — it's how easy it is to trust it blindly. 😶🌫️
From lawyers to judges, even court decisions have had to be withdrawn because no one double-checked the AI's work.
The danger isn't in cheating — it's in how simple cheating has become. 🧠💻

The few times I've gone to a Dollar General in California, where there actually is a law about this, the issue is also present - they will just override it to the shelf price if you ask, but will never correct it.
That is assuming you can wade through the hellbeast of a store to even get anything, the aisles are usually completely blocked and there's only one person working there

Feeling holiday stress?
A psychologist (and native Dane) shares how Denmark relies on two words to stay grounded: overskud (the energy/space to take something on) and pyt (to let it go).
This season: say no when you lack overskud and say pyt when things don’t go as planned 💛theconversation.com/how-to-dea…
How to deal with holiday stress, Danish-style

I ate an old piece of matzah so we could throw away the box. My wife asked if it was stale. What even is stale matzah? Doesn't it pretty much start off stale?
Anyway, it was fine.
In case you didn't know, you can forward ADB over TCP, in AFV you can reach the host device via vsock, ADB supports communication over vsock, thus you can easily get a shell.
Now, since we can run apps over wayland in the VM, all we have to do is install and run scrcpy to get a lovely/cursed setup were you can mirror your own device into itself.

in reply to HP van Braam • • •Also note in the above screenshot that the "Award Modular BIOS" screen does not have the normal logo. But there's still SPACE for a logo.
The fact that the #sunpci did not show the Award logo bothered me from the start.
The reason for this is obvious now. The "Fake text mode" that the SunPCi application implements simply doesn't have support for the weird mixed text/graphics mode that the BIOS wants to use!

in reply to HP van Braam • • •After some more noodling with the #solaris kernel driver, behold the (as far as I am aware) only third-party #sunpci
driver program.
My program currently "emulates" the VGA text mode using #ncurses (poorly) but this makes development a lot faster!
Next up is the block device emulation, then I should be able to boot DOS on this entirely! (without graphics, obviously... But sixels... maybe? 😅 )

in reply to HP van Braam • • •Some more progress on the #sunpci client! We now have text mode rendering on par with the original (which also doesn't properly seem to handle 9dot mode)
