From what I could gather its firmware isn't 100% free, because the WiFi and
GPU (and I think even the CPU) need some proprietary code, but there are
projects that work on replacing the GPU's (and CPU's) with open firmware. The

I've been looking on aliexpress and found some 3.97" LCD's based on
the nt35510/nt35512. They are similar to the FRD39751040V but have
different pinouts. Does Frida sell sample/single LCD's anywhere online?

So it seems. I've thought a lot about how to DIY a silicone keypad with
labeling and backlight but still have no way to do it. I'm all ears for ideas

A handheld QWERTY device has been my goal for EOMA68 since I found out about it.
I've been looking at various LCD options and all of the RGB ones that are
3.5"-4" have low resolution (320x240, 480x320, and expensive 640x480). This

I'm reading the eoma spec at elinux and there is limited information
regarding the power requirements. It states "*a maximum of 3.5 watts should
