Okay, R36S people... I've been cooking. 😎

This is PocketOS, a custom operating system I've been building specifically around the R36S EE / RK3326 clone family.

Core Architecture & Features:

* Custom Rust home launcher

* PocketJS 0.12 as the runtime

* 640x480 native display

* R36S EE / RK3326 hardware detection

* Working DTB/panel selector for the different clone variants

* Built around the hardware compatibility foundation used by DarkOSRE

* Custom Games / Stats / Keys / About interface

And yes — these screenshots are from the actual R36S running PocketOS. 🤩

The goal is basically to take the R36S EE clone hardware and give it a completely different software stack instead of just making another ArkOS-based frontend.

It isn't finished yet, but it's getting very close. I figured I'd finally show what I've been secretly working on. 🔥

PocketOS is coming.

Ran out of projects for your Jetson Orin Nano? Don't give it away. Here's a better idea.

For the last two years, we have been developing Mino, a hackable companion robot for makers. Mino can carry your NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit and give it a new life. It comes with building blocks for you to develop robot applications based on ROS 2: motion control, gestures, stereo vision, speech-to-text, LLM, emotion classifier, remote control from a mobile app... and more to come.

We just put Mino on Kickstarter. The campaign will launch soon, with a limited number of super-early-bird and early-bird discounts. To increase your chance of getting one, open the pre-campaign link below and click on "Notify me on launch". Happy making!
