I= tried different power supplied including battery power to rule out bad powe= r or noise. I could reproduce the problem on both pi2 and pi3 quite reliably= and also two other people noticed it too. Pi1 worked fine though. The symptom was very strange phantom keyboard key presses and button clicks.= They would start at random points in time and even sometimes during boot. I= traced it all of the way to the USB debugging the HID packets. At the lowes= t level it appeared as though the keyboard was actually sending Shift-Ctrl-A= /B keypresses. I was expecting some kind of memory corruption type problems d= ue to mulicore but it didn=E2=80=99t seem so. I think I finally threw in the towel once I saw that even raspbian/Linux hav= e USB hacks abound and state on their website that not all USB devices may w= ork with it. That and the lack of any good hardware specs on how the control= ler works. I=E2=80=99m now in search of better hardware and left with a bad impression o= f raspberry pi and USB itself. I hear from some hardware folks that PCIe and= Ethernet are much better and Thunderbolt is a dumpster fire. Maybe there wi= ll be a riscv dev board soon. > On Sep 13, 2018, at 11:01 AM, Steve Simon wrote: >=20 > i would try it at the very least. >=20 > i have been looking for an excuse to install 9front. >=20 > personally i would like audio support, and a prebuilt image which tracks t= he 9front 386/amd64 distribution. >=20 > my 2p=E2=80=99s worth >=20 > -Steve >=20 >> On 13 Sep 2018, at 2:29 pm, Julius Schmidt wrote: >>=20 >> Sending hardware to cinap is the best way to ensure that it works with th= e least amount of effort and will continue to work in the future. >>=20 >>> On Wed, 12 Sep 2018, Antoni Sawicki wrote: >>>=20 >>> Hi all >>>=20 >>> Here is my pledge.
