This is great to hear, I have been playing with Pico/Linux for a few months and its cool. So far I haven't got much past being able to rebuild PicoGUI and re-flash though. I have a couple of basic questions: 1) what is the best way to reboot the Helio, so far I have only found going to the bootloader and pushing reset as a successfull way. 2) if I want to watch the boot messages with the Helio docked and minicom, what comms parameters should I use? I have done this in the past but I don't seem to be hitting the right numbers now, I just get the occasional garbage character. Thanks Andrew. _______________________________________________ Pgui-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pgui-devel
