1. TILER is now working on the real unit!

2. 1,5GHz Fix



3. What else is left to do?

The keymat works fine but is a bit stiff. Already working on that.

The new touchscreen needs to be tested (I'll receive it in 1 - 2 weeks)

The friction of the hinge needs to be improved (already being worked on)

The shoulder buttons need to be improved (already being worked on)

The peg inside the battery cover to keep the battery positioned needs to be a bit thicker (already being worked on)

The sealing of the speaker needs to be created (already in production)

Box design and manual needs to be created

Prototypes need to be stress tested (will work on that next week)

Finally, I found the time to edit the video material I filmed at GamesCom.No Pyra News for you in there, just showing what you missed at our booth and in the whole retro area in case you didn't visit there.I also want to thank the whole team that was helping out at our booth!You guys rock!I should have some Pyra videos for you soon!Why? Read on - here's our latest news post!zmatt got TILER working, aTc included it in the official OS image and therefore, I have now a Pyra which runs with the official Pyra OS, rotated just using TILER and not the SSD Chip anymore!That is some awesome news - and it now also means I can help tweaking the OS and test out all the stuff that some community members have packaged up on the real unit.It's still a very basic hack and some other things need to be done. For example, the Touchscreen is not yet rotated (which makes using it very... interesting), but that's just a simple change in one file and a recompile.Once units have been shipped to the developers, these small things will be a lot easier to fix.I have 6 working PCBs here which I will need to put into the latest revision of the case and decide where to send them to.That will all happen during the next two weeks.I also hope to find the time to make some new videos for youRemember that we had the issue that units crashed running at 1,5GHz?Well, it seems notaz has found the reason - it's a small trace in the hardware that shouldn't be connected.Nikolaus missed a small "DNI" (which means: "Do not install") that was written down in the datasheet and therefore connected that trace.Luckily, I was able to pause the CPU Board production until Nikolaus comes back from holiday next week to supply the little fix.So the next CPU boards will have that fix included and should run without any issues at 1,5GHz as well!It's always good to have more than just two eyes checking the schematics.During GamesCom, I was able to test the Pyras and find out what's left to be done (hardware-wise - the software will always improveLuckily, it isn't that much:Well, and that's basically it.Most of that is just the final case tweaking. The hardware seems to be working fine now.And most of the above is already being worked on in parallel!So yes, we're getting closer to the finish line!
