The #PinePhone modem (yes, the modem) can now run Linux kernel 5.10 ( @postmarketOS )... we're sure many of you know where this is heading :)
Massive thanks to biktorgj, konradybcio and others.
@Bobo_PK @PINE64 @postmarketOS
my guess is that a fully free software firmware for the pinephone modem if in the works, but I could very well be wrong here
@iansutter @Bobo_PK @PINE64 @postmarketOS It can't be fully open because the firmware for the DSP is closed, but this brings it slightly more to the open side.
@Bobo_PK A port of Doom 🤣 @PINE64 @postmarketOS
@PINE64 @postmarketOS Open source modem time?
@PINE64 @postmarketOS Replacing the CPU with a modem? xD
@PINE64 @postmarketOS please consider getting some **powerful** #riscv processor for your forthcoming laptops and phones 😃
@PINE64 @postmarketOS yo dawg, I heard you like linux
@PINE64 @postmarketOS what are the chances this modem is pin compatible with #librem5 or mostly for laptops and PCs?
@wisemonkey @PINE64 @postmarketOS IIRC, the #Librem5 uses m.2 for their modems. The Quectel EG-25G in the #PinePhone appears to big to fit on such a card:
@linmob @PINE64 @postmarketOS thanks, so at least #PinePhone can make use of this, as long as it gets in mobile it's good news.
It means you can now run Doom on it?
@JJS_10 @PINE64 @postmarketOS I had the exact same question. 😆
@PINE64 @postmarketOS excellent work
@PINE64 @postmarketOS yo dawg I herd yo liek linux boxes so we put a linux box in your linux box so you can hack while you hack.
@PINE64 @postmarketOS amazing ! Thanks..
@PINE64 @postmarketOS I've heard about software modems, but :)
@PINE64 @postmarketOS this is super exciting, is there anywhere i can read more on it?
@PINE64 @postmarketOS I don't know how I'm missing these posts it's a good thing I read a lot. This never showed up in any of my feeds.
@PINE64 @postmarketOS i don't pls elaborate
