Hello,
I'm happy to announce the first system image of Sculpt OS for the PinePhone:

Thanks to the wonderful team at Genode Labs for having made that possible! Speaking for myself, I'm overjoyed. :-)
BTW, I will present this version on Saturday at FOSDEM in Brussels:

For the immediate testing period at the current stage, I am mostly interested in the operation of the modem and the overall robustness. Hence, I would appreciate your responses with testing mobile-data connectivity and voice calls as well as reporting of glaring bugs or annoyances.
Regarding the use as daily driver for me personally, I see two blocking issues, which I will tackle next.
- A sleep mode that turns off the screen after a few seconds of no interactivity. I think with this change, one battery charge could get us through the day.
- A prolonged standby mode that switches off the application processor and keeps the SCP watching the modem for incoming calls and booting the application processor on such events. This will ultimately allow us stay receptive for incoming calls for several days without recharging.
Should you like to experiment with building / experimenting / modifying the system, please share your rough direction so that I can supplement further documentation to support you.
Wishing you fun with trying out Sculpt OS on the PinePhone!
Norman
