#librem5

10 posts2 participants0 posts today

Did you know that @purism is working towards a new release for the #Librem5 #FOSS phone?

The name of this new version is #Crimson. Crimson will be the next version of the PureOS #Linux distribution for the Librem 5.

#Purism only earns once money on their sell of a #phone, because Purism is not selling your data.

Since July 2024 you can take an optional subscription to advance the #PureOS development.

Since then there has been a monthly report on the progress.

Continued thread

For those interested, I’ve pushed the firmware that implements the necessary alt-mode dance to get UART out of the #Librem5's USB-C port to #Debubo’s repository.

It wasn’t pushed before because it was very crude and I wanted to clean it up before pushing. It still is, but I decided to actually get it out regardless rather than risk having it sit and wait for even more months 😛

Woohoo, #libobscura returned an image from the #librem5 !

```
Buffer size: 823296, seq: 0, timestamp: 18178.362439 [s]
Writing to frame.GRBG

Now I'm scared to look at the data. It's probably garbage.

But the proof of concept is there: you can treat the Media Controller API as a database and query it for valid image pipeline configurations.

I wonder if the debayering #shader still works.

But first, clean up and publish.

@Liberux great project, i hope you succeed! one question though: why an own OS? can't you use e.g. #postmarketos or another existing linux-os and spare the time&effort for developing an OS (or put the ressource into hardware-development)? that would be my lesson learned from #librem5, where the OS ist totally outdated, because the company ran out of money.
