@lord @purism The blue cable on the picture goes into the wall wart and if that supplies enough power (and wall wart, hub and phone agree on USB PD contracts) it'll also charge the phone. That's one of the tricky parts we're currenlty working on.

@kyle @purism It tiles left/right via keyboard shortcuts, the rest is yet to come.

@purism And here's the connected to a usb-c hub that has a keyboard/mouse connected via usb and driving the external screen via dp-alt-mode. Needs some hacks still but we're getting there:

Big news: NLnet/NGI0 PET will fund the development of two new open hardware processor modules compatible with MNT Reform: An NXP LS1028A module developed in partnership with RBZ Embedded Logics and an FPGA module for prototyping with open CPU designs:

@amosbatto CSI2 for mainliine is still being worked on (as is mhdp for DisplayPort HDMI) by various parties but the diff has become more and more reasonable.

Should you ever need a DisplayPort reference for NXPs imx8mq: here's a hardware mod for the Devkit to switch it from to : source.puri.sm/guido.gunther/i (based on schematic by Bernhard Fink in NXPs forums).

If you didn't port your app to libhandy 1, now is the best time. We even have a migration guide to help you! gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/l

If you ported to a libhandy 1 alpha, I also strongly recommend you to update to 0.90 as you are guaranteed you won't have to change a thing after.
