Sunday July 19 2020 from 11 am to ? 

So Notice the new tag "Pi.BerkeleyLUG:"  If you want to keep these 
messages from assailing your inbox, create a new filter.  

I always like to have a project in mind before a meeting.  This time 
I'm thinking maybe a small Linux raid file server.  
At last SFLUG Rick Moen mentioned the RockPro 6.  Which has an 
actual pci-e slot onboard.  
See the wiki here: http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=ROCKPro64
I don't happen to have one of those but I do the NanoPi M4.  Which has 
pci-e signals on a header http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_M4
and they offer up a SATA hat  http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_M4_SATA_HAT

I'll see if I can scrounge up the M4 and SATA hat and work on it at the meeting.  

Related Pi news:  https://www.tomshardware.com/news/raspberry-pi-nvme-support-coming 
Raspberry Pi CEO talks about having NVME (pci-e) on the upcoming Compute module 4 
and maybe the Pi 4 A.  People have already hacked the Pi4 to expose pci-e

Pine 64:  The RockPro 64 people also have the Pinephone.  They just announced 
a new "community edition" for pre-order.  The last one had UBports which is the 
3rd party (community) continuation of  ‎Canonical's Ubuntu Touch.  This time the phone 
has PostmarkOS.  Though you can install whatever you like.  Base phone is $150 plus 
$25 shipping to US.  It is very much a beta product and so there isn't even any guarantees.  
Might not be able to make and/or receive phonecalls.  (And you may wait months for it 
to ship.)  

If I can't  scrounge up the parts for the file server I'll work on making a Raspberry Pi 
laptop.  I have a Thinkpad T60p shell that I hope can work.  Last month I got an Hdmi 
controller board hooked up to the LCD.  So still to do is program a microcontroller to 
interface the keyboard and trackpad.  And all the cabling and case mods.  woo!  

See you Sunday, 

Thomas
