Hi Josef,
One of the most profound developments was certainly the overall enablement of Sculpt on the PinePhone partly aided by the revitalized DDE Linux porting approach. Being able to provide a driver component in a manageable amount of time while focusing on the integration rather than spending time matching and mixing the pieces was an - I dare say - enjoyable experience.
the last statement is everything I was hoping for. Given your first-hand experience with new DDE-Linux approach, this verdict means a lot to me.
This also makes me hopeful for the next round of an update of the DDE-Linux PC drivers, which should be definite part of our road map.
Well, besides doing project work, as most of my pet projects start on a whim it is hard to say if I come up with a new itch to scratch or finally bring some of the stuff upstream.
That being said, from the top of my head, taking advantage of modern I/O devices (multi-queue and multi-core interrupt handling in the NVMe driver) and extending support for the AMD systems I use at home are high up on my list.
Given your invaluable contribution to the PinePhone topic - speaking of camera, GPU, and audio - your further engagement in these areas would be very welcome as well.
The other two topics mentioned (NVMe and AMD) leave me a bit uncertain regarding the road map. I already expressed my weariness regarding AMD in my reply to Alex, and I must confess my lack the expertise about NVMe. How would you describe the practical benefits of the mentioned NVMe features for Genode users at large, for advertising them on the road map?
Cheers Norman
