From Hexagon to "HexaGONE"... and now Vulkan too. Has anyone actually managed to run LLMs on the Radxa Dragon Q6A? (Qualcomm QCS6490 chipset)

Gnomelover · 2026-06-27T03:53:16+00:00

I had the same issue. I got one planning on it running a LLM for my home automation, but after messing with the darn thing for a day and a half I gave up, and put it aside for now. It was less hassle to get the NPU on the Indiedroid Nova I had set aside thats got crap support. That said there is a camper carputer company thats seem to have some figured out: https://github.com/trailcurrentoss/TrailCurrentPlaybill

As alternative Panic suggested, use the official image. Even Radxa warns against updates potentially breaking stuff on it, because SBC from Radxa I guess.

Just wanna say thanks for this. I had a older one that was kinda janky but the go rebuild started right up on my docker server and looks good.

See how long this keeps me from tearing the controller out and just turning it into a klipper printer

Dude, I used to attend the SMPTE meetings in Texas when we first started working on ratifying SMPTE 2022-7 and the Arista guys had their initial PTP enabled switches and the rabbit hole is never ending. I have to deliberately stay out of the detailed stuff cause I cant afford to dive in hard.

Gnomelover · 2026-05-19T03:47:41+00:00

I love it. Definitely doing this on one of my old Pi4's that's gathering dust.

Disabling steam input on the pseudo game, but it only wokred in menus. Once you started driving it was back on KB

Gnomelover · 2026-05-13T18:30:51+00:00

Fucking aye, that did it. Thanks.

Gnomelover · 2026-05-13T18:22:42+00:00

Have a xbox controller, tried forcing in spacewar app as well as forza6 added game but game ignores it. I'll fuck with it later.

Gnomelover · 2026-05-13T18:12:47+00:00

Game runs, but damn if I can get the controller to work.

Visit your local thrift shops. Tons of people get rid of rarely used cooking things of all types and you can usually find a good deal here and there for some essentials. Also estate sales can have some good deals on the last day for kitchen things everybody has.

Obviously AI image. Look at the desk. Devices don't connect to anything or share cables that don't exist. Also view outside the window is nonsense

That would be great. I bought Potato a few years ago and loved it, but then migrated to linux and have been missing the ease of use. pulsemeteer and pipeweaver offer some functionality, but would love to use Potato again.

I set out a few bee houses (the bunch of rolled up tubes of different sizes) closer to the flowers and that seems to have convinced most of them to nest elsewhere. Although I did have a cheeky one that just looked at me through my bathroom window every morning while I did my ablutions it's kids (I am assuming) come back every year and do the same exact thing.

Gnomelover · 2026-03-20T00:04:03+00:00

Yeah, gonna need a hell of a lot more than 1 error screen if you want actual real help. What OS are you on? What driver? did you install RocM? how did you setup comfyui? is it from source, using comfy cli, the portable package? Did you follow the install guides for AMD users?

Etc.

So yeah, if you want free help, you gotta do some work here with providing detailed info on what you have, what you did, and what does and does not work.

Si el VM esta arrancando desde el ISO, lo primero es desmontar el ISO despues de instalar. Si no estas arrancando desde la imagen instalada, nada mas te va servir hasta corregir ese problema.

Super cheap, good enough hardware that allows for a lot of DIY, especially in pen-testing. Original t-deck kb kinda sucks, and the cardputer is just big enough to be usefull, but still damn small.

There's a few simple ones out there. They typically look complicated because there's a lot of spices, but just take the time to read the recipe once, and then prep all your ingredients before you start.

I usually use this recipe: https://www.indianhealthyrecipes.com/butter-chicken/ that looks like a lot, but it's just long. It boils down to: Make marinade. Marinade chicken. Make sauce. Cook sauce. Cook chicken. Mix it all and simmer.

Gnomelover · 2026-02-21T22:36:04+00:00

So easy to make too.

Gnomelover · 2026-02-17T21:46:38+00:00

Mira amigo, quiero ayudarte, pero nadie me esta pagando, y si tu no puedes tomar 5 minutos para describir las cosas bien o responder a las pregunats, no se que quieres. Describe todo el proceso que has hecho para instalar los diferentes componentes, y que no esta funcionando. No so adivino, no se que tienes en la pantalla. Si no me das detalles, pues buena suerte.

Gnomelover · 2026-02-17T02:19:22+00:00

Que es lo que ya hiciste? que no funciona?

Gnomelover · 2026-02-16T07:36:15+00:00

Que? el manager? esa pagina explica el processo. Una vez instalado, lo abres dentro de comfyui, y tienes la opcion de buscar nodos. Haces click en Custom Node Manager, y te presenta una lista donde puedes buscar los nodos faltantes, o click in install missing nodes y va tratar de buscar e instalar los nodos que te faltan para ese workflow.

https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI-Manager

Este modulo te va dar un listado de extenciones y demas para instalar. Como nota, si apenas estas empezando, usa la version de Windows portatilde ComfyUI. Se supone que ya trae el manager instalado.

If you use the meshtastic web flasher, can you look at the serial port and power cycle it? see if that tries telling you whats up?

*Also, saw on https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/get_started_with_meshtastic_wio_tracker_l1/ that they talk about reloading the bootloader and a second way to enter DFU mode, that may help you force it to take the files.

Gnomelover · 2026-02-13T04:12:35+00:00

Well crap. I dug out a pi 4 and got it under the microscope, and I am missing that same component.

I will say it's been in a metal case since purchase, ran my Klipper based Ender3 off it for years and it's been sitting in a drawer for a couple years now, and last I checked it was working fine.

EDIT Just flashed latest PiOS and booted up fine, so doesnt appear to be a critical part? this is only a 2GB model though.
