No winderz allowed on the premises here, I use ssh -Y rock64@rock64 to do everything but software installs. Somebody has decided being able to run synaptic over an ssh connection is a security risk. So anything involved in installing software has to be done from its own keyboard, whereas I've 5 more wheezy installs where it Just Works from a comfortable chair anyplace on my local network.
When I had 5.15.130 on it, and the 1T usb3 drive, I could build a new kernel in about an hour, but u-boot or whatever is used as a booter, fails in that there do not seem to be, anyplace on the net, any instructions on how to do a "make install" and I have asked how to install a new kernel here on this forum at least twice and have been ignored both times.
This thing has all the features to make it a pi killer, but its not going to happen when everything about it is a big secret. pi's have a local keyboard/mouse event throwaway problem, and I'd replace the pi I am using in a heartbeat, if I could find out how to install an rtai kernel, and build the pi's spi driver on it that is now part of linuxcnc. But that user space code expects an entirely different set of gpio headers, so rewriting that code will be a much bigger project than building a kernel.
