Raspberry Pi Sailfish Tablet
Well, I have to admit I have not been keeping up with the Raspberry Pi world. I think I remember hearing that someone was working on porting Sailfish to the Pi; but they've gotten a bit further than I'd thought. Here's a guy who's cobbled together a Pi, a battery, a touchscreen, and Sailfish 1.1.9.28:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBneqlCddnk I have to admit, given that I now expect it'll be some months before I personally receive a Jolla tablet (and the phone just doesn't exist here), this is looking like an appealing way to come up with a usable Sailfish device (even if it looks like a frankenstein's monster :) ). So, anyone here have any experience running Sailfish on a Pi? :) Here are some more links on this Pi "tablet": https://sailpi.wordpress.com/2015/10...dalone-tablet/ https://hackaday.com/2015/10/18/rasp...n-sailfish-os/ EDIT: Some images of this monster: https://sailpi.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/img_3359.jpg https://sailpi.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/img_3360.jpg https://sailpi.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/img_3363.jpg EDIT 2: BTW, the video shows Sailfish running on a Pi connected to a touchscreen, but not this particular battery-powered Pi... Here's a video of the actual "tablet" in action. Even better, it's being used to control an LED via the Pi's GPIO pins from a Python script running under Sailfish... https://youtu.be/xGOLm8PnoaU |

dude... locusf is awesome! I'm following this like mad, might get me to buy a Raspberry Pi touch screen after all.

Did you know if Sailfish will work on Raspberry Pi 3? Or i really need a raspberry Pi 2 for it? So, anyone here have any experience running Sailfish on a Pi? :) |

Isn't that wonderful. But why do we need two threads on the same topic? :confused:

Re: Raspberry Pi Sailfish Tablet
Regarding power consumption statistics of different raspberries, I made some tests over the last few weeks to get to know what is the exact runtime of a RaspberryPI board on a battery.
For each test, I fully charged the battery and then let a board run as long as it shut down due to empty battery. On each board I had a cron script logging uptime every 5 minutes so I got to know the exact time it remained alive. Each board had only base OS load running, no intensive tasks. The OS was on default settings and I applied no power-conserving tweaks for any of the boards. I repeated the test 3 times for each board, and the results for each board dffered less than 30 minutes for each run. The presented results under are the average for each board. Unfortunately I have no PI Zero, so could only do the tests on models 1, 2 and 3. Code:
Model runtime Kernel Raspbian However, I suspect that having a different OS and kernel versions on different boards leads to some variance, so maybe I should also run the test using identical OS/kernel. |
Re: Raspberry Pi Sailfish Tablet
Here is a measurement done by raspi.tv to roughly sort the pi zero.
Should not be that much difference to A+? http://raspi.tv/wp-content/uploads/2...age-Zero-W.png Edit, could you specify your rpi1 according to the chart? What do you have A/A+/B/B+? I guess B+ from the 17hours. |

Odd that from the above chart all the boards I have should have almost identical power profile, however my own measurements show that model 2B is superior when compared to the others. |
Re: Raspberry Pi Sailfish Tablet
very odd concidering rpi2b has to power 4 usb ports and lan.
But 2b is the only pi to feature BCM2836 with Arm cortex a7. Maybe some advanced power saving over the other models when ideling for a certain time? |

It is difficult to see this post using a n900! Perhaps the full of pixels images make the reading hard to process. Anyway, according to juiceme's measures the best option is raspi2 in battery duration. I wonder how different will be measuring with exactly the same kernel and OS on the three boards. Here were I live a raspi3 is sold in 35usd. Not raspi2 or raspi1 at least not found yet. Where U got the sailfish OS ISO image for raspi? |
