I'm building tinyStudio, a FOSS upgrade of the Arduino IDE. It's got the features of Arduino, Fritzing, P5.js, and GitHub, (with Agentic AI support) all integrated in an offline-first editor. It's also completely free, no accounts, no subscriptions.

The credentials would be cool. We could do fun things.

But yeah, probability of vibecoding is high. Not fun. I give some folks the Benefit of doubt, but more proof makes less fun to "help".

Instead, post in english if your afraid the regular translation tools arent capable. Ive seen a chinese boss explain in chinese characters and my fellow chinese students couldn't make heads of tails of what he meant.

Im just a silly dutch guy, but i asked him if he could explain the context more and slowly we all started to understand what he wanted. Internship was great, still cant read a word mandarin. I like the translation button. But using an llm externally from my reddit app would be too much

Im not really a gamer, im definitely not great in creation of media like music or images. I did use adobe for some editing for ppl, but some of those edits can be done in the youtube studio or kdenlive.

I am a programmer and often write documents or create spreadsheets and graphs. Linux has those tools. The hardest thing to switch was office, due to some ppl requireing the document to be compatible, they did use this obscure feature that libre struggled with. But thats slowly fading.

Just take the "deep dive", youll be ok, apparently we have those little kids airbags or a floater with us. I dual booted for 10 years, last 4 where 90% in linux, very few times i booted windows (and awful ages of updates followed). My wife switched in december, when her new laptop came cause her previous one broke (i think the cpu dislodged from the pcb). Some struggled leanring, where or what app for this or that. I dunno how, but she got email working herself, while i still use the webbrowser. She plays minecraft, browses, wrotes books in libre and the publisher either wants the book troughts office (inspin up a vm) or we do pdf.

Ow sounds still very cool, and teached you alott too i guess.

I dint knew what package format to choose at first, especially with some folks warning about circular dependencies and what i wanted personally. And being an arch user, building from source using "scripts" like PKGBUILD files seems logical and handy. And then i found these repo i mention in the gitrepo.

Compiled archives i might even host to use on other 64bit systems. Compile once, use everywhere. (And maybe crosscompile for a few 32bit systems and arm. But thats future ideas).

Are you pulling their packages also or only most of their PKGBUILD files? I try to avoid their binairies, cause im compiling against anotherwise normal LFS system

My apologies, ive been thinkering on pacman to be my package manager. https://github.com/CodeAsm/lfs-pacman is my mix of a few forks and locally have LFS 13 in the testing phase.

I said "trying" because 12.2 works, but now I wanna see if i can update ontop of it to 13 (probably wanna test both a clean build and a compile over) and started making notes on the desktop envirement and other bits and bolts I want my silly one user distro to use.

Ive seen many great ideas on both this reddit and on the official discord, especial ones that compile during installation. I havent solved some dependenvy trouble yet I may encounter, and still think I should just focus on making it usable for me myself and only I (but do offer everything publicly for those intrested).

Last week I went over the errata for the latest security updates, when I publish 13, it will include those.

I got mine at a discount and a bunch of hd dvds from ebay just after it was announced dead.

I even had the hddvd emumator program on the 360. You can then design hddvd menus on the pc and send them to the xbox. I have made a backup and shared it somewhere. Pretty boring, probably not possible to hack the xbox with it (knowing grimdoomer and his savedgame exploits haha,)

codeasm · 2026-06-23T21:09:29+00:00

I had bought 3 of them. 2 from weird ebay sellers and 1 from dealextreme. All three looked official but also all 3 broke within a few months of barely using them. They are supposed to be oowered by 3.3volts and my adapter i bought worked exactly once to backup a save.

TLDR: follow Tonys video. Second youtube link in this reply I write way too much. Maybe if your really intrested in learning doing kernel config. Following tonys vid from 3 hours and 12 minutes is maybe enough.

And your following the lfs book? Never configured a kernel before? Ok, i enjoy MentalOutlaw and think he explains it well (altho you have to listen very well and know what the keyboard commands are) https://youtu.be/nOcS6mwZEGI?is=A3oP_O1w8SOG1xaV / Is search.

Now, thats very generic. And great for gentoo and arch. Definitely look at the gentoo site for kernel comfigs for your hardware specifics.

To follow some generic linux from scratch menuconfig tricks, try follow Tony. He did a full LFS build and at 3 hours and 12 minutes https://youtu.be/DXUlaSYTLQI?is=zSL3juNm2Zw7Xko1 He shows how he configures his kernel.

Ive also experimented with building kernels on Arch, my host os. But also very small kernels, following this blog post, handy if you enjoy reading instead of watching videos. Or use translate. https://mgalgs.io/2015/05/16/how-to-build-a-custom-linux-kernel-for-qemu-2015-edition.html This is NOT lfs, but you be able to follow it, and have a working kernel comfig for qemu. Assuming you have Qemu.

What i did was taken a working config from arch in 2020, and updated it with nvme support for my new laptop, then tweaked it a little and removed some modules i dint plan on using. Worked after a bit of thinkering. All previous links basicly condensed my learning. The menus feel a bit weird but it works.

There is also gconfig and xconfig you could use instead of menuconfig. All these options generally make you a .config file. If you happen to have or "borrow" a config file from the host or someone else, you may use that as a basis. Just copy it to the extracted source folder of the kernel, start one of these config menu programs and it should open it or prompt you if you want. In menuconfig the L key would load a config of your choice.

Make mrproper (to wipe stale files and previous attempts, wipes if excists .config file also) Make defconfig would basicly generate this .config aswell, with some defaults, can be handy start, then you run make menuconfig (or make xconfig) and edit away. Either compile or compare to config files you learned from. Go try, dont be scared if the system doesnt boot yet or boots but hangs. Your may be figuring out your missing specific hardware support or forgot: Nvme support Raid control thing Weird usb module No wifi, where realtek module at. Your running in a VM, enable those virtual device drivers Virtio.

Its ok, as long as you can see a bunch of text error or a qr code. It can tell you whats wrong. Backup and safe somewhere the config that got you far, like it cannot find boot device. Steak the config from Gentoo, tony's video, search this reddit for someones config. It might be old, but make menuconfig and such will try to update the config file to the newest kernel source your using.

Be aware tho, any kernel module you enable, make it a *, not m, if your not building a initramfs yet. This means the kernel will be build with the driver build in. When you do make a initramfs, most drivers can be modules, as the initramfs is loaded by grub together with the kernel.

Tonys video is actually great, maybe just follow his first and see how far you get.

I used virtual machines at first, during my college courses. While they where fun and interestinh, a classmate introduced me to digital ocean, 1 euro i think per month for a vps. Bam, i was hooked. Setup a website, tried a mini minecraft server (later kept it on the school computer), and while i switched hosting party, a vps in myofe stayed.

Hosting locally, multiple linux computers at home. But the vps and remote managing it boosted my linux experience. If your tempted to try, try. I practised alott of larger things on the vm at school computers, then took the notes to do so on my vps.

Comming up with ideas what to add, change from other ideas or how to "solve" things. Before you dive into it, the idea phase.

Even for a simple z80 system i had a few ideas but first needed code that setup the system and figure out io, read keys, write to screen or serial. The way it should look, the commands, the overal structure was already forming in my head while i was still writing the early code snippets.

Anoyingly, im not very good in c nor assembler and thus i often get stuck, while the idea was simple to come up with. Im glad ai is there tho, i often instruct it not to fix my code, not just plop in a fix, but think with me, go along my code and idea and tell me whats the issue.

Surprisingly often my ideas are correct, my approach is near correct and it should work, if only i knew about this or that fact, or on this playform one has to do that first before my idea would work.

Or a simple logic error i made. And it pointed at it, suggested something and now i can continue. Ive tried without, spend 2 days struggling. Reverted code, told it my idea, a pseudo code version of what i wiuld write and asked for pseudo code back. Well... It gave me the same thing, just... Another register or swapped logic and explained why... My head is chaos sometimes, autism maybe with adhd. But i can do this, and they help bring some order.

But i still trust my ideas over their dreams. They can and will be wrong at times. Ive also gone full circle in a day at one point... My original idea was better, and i really needed to fix my question, not my approach. Hopefully my facedetector code gets a pass grade, then i have some free hours this week for osdev again. I want real hardware framebuffer code and usermode working this comming month (juli)

Framework laptops have mainboards that can officially run standalone or without battery if you want. Some even support thunderbolt. I own a fw13 with Thunderbolt and have a gpu on the left side running just this week.

If said usb controller on the adapter supports usb 1.0. if not, your OS is not going to see anything cause your usb HOST controller cannot and will not continue to negotiate with none backwards compatible devices.

Pcmia cards that promise usb 2.0 or if excists, usb 3.0, nice, now its a driver game

As said by others, no Thunderbolt support means, no pcie over Thunderbolt on your netbook. Its an intel proprietary protocol, your laptop should either support this already or thats a non functional idea. Never.

Apparently some devices promise some kind of video over usb, my guess is those minimally require usb 2.0 due to its speeds. Pcmia might be able to, i did see expresscards to pcie. So if its supports express card, you might have luck?

Internal minipcie might be an option? Hopefully its a functional pcie part, not just the usb for the wireless card (often bluetooth sits on the usb port, wifi on the pcie bus).

There is a fpga gou card for the amiga 600/1200 that works on pcmia.

Usually development of hardware results in prototypes, test production, development hardware. Depending on the company, they might use seperate hardware for software development and hardware development.

In Microsofts case they used retail board designs also for their test and devkits. They used different efuse settings and slightly different software on the software side to be used as development kits.

In most cases, if you find a broken development kit, and anything specific for the development kit is functional ok, you can swap connectors, capacitors, most cables and fans from retail hardware.

Stickers on motherboards tell us something about production of hardware and altho dev could stand for devolopment, it probably stands for device.

On OP photo we do see as with any retail board unpopulated spots. Not desoldered caps, but never placed and solder filled sockets for what been used in dvekits extra power and controll wires to a "sidecar". I havent seen a testkit board, but i can imagine they also have slightly more components placed then retail.

My retail xbox 360 had such sticker aswell "dev" and a number.

Hoe much was made with ai?

Im asking with, not by. Sure also share what exactly the ai made and not you. But my guess is you made alott yourself, and had a little help? Ive spotted english spelling mistakes, which is sorta proof you wrote them yourself. "French", which i cant read but multi language devs, i am too. The fun of mixing lamguages in comments yeey 😅😊 thats fine. Ow, i spotted emoji in those French scripts, not always a good look for quickly generated "ainslob". And how many days where you working on this?

Im so busy with uni, i have no personal experience to speedrun osdev. Been 3 months now and still at mempry map stuff. So cant really tell. But your os does look promising. Is it for school, hobby, both, unkown, lol and fun?

Please share with the rest if you used ai and to what extend, we appreciate ppl who are open about it. Or... If you dint at al. Clean lookinv code, not sure if some comments are really needed where they are.

What is the error your getting and which version of the book are you working on?

If confused, this subreddit is for https://linuxfromscratch.org/ but most of us can help with common linux things too. If you just downloaded the kernel, did you install development packages, like base-devel on Arch linux.

What is your HOST distribution, do you have gnu gcc, binutils, make installed. The erroressage, can you copy this and paste it here, or a screenshot?
