I’m running into an issue after updating the USB driver, I go back into Powershell to run:

Any ideas?
had that error when i missed the " ```

is there a way to install chromium ? “sudo apk add chromium” fails with “no package”
I just got my ThinkSmart device today and installed PMOS using the instructions. I ran into the same issue. Don’t know why but for me it helped when I ran “python edl w” etc. instead of “python3 edl w”, even though running just “python” or “python3” showed the exact same 3.10.11 version installed.
You are my HERO for this one. Thanks so much for the tip on the firewall and the wheel!
Here’s what I did to get wyoming-satellite and wyoming-openwakeword running on my pmos install.
sudo rc-update del nftables to disable the pmos firewall, as outlined in the docssudo apk add git and git clone the wyoming-satellite and wyoming-openwakeword repos.cd wyoming-openwakeword && vi requirements.txt and comment out the first line, which mentions tflite-runtimescript/setup, as instructed in the docs.sudo apk add wget && wget https://pmos-thinksmart.s3.amazonaws.com/tflite_runtime-2.16.1-cp312-cp312-linux_aarch64.whl to dowload @mrhand’s provided wheel for tflite-runtimesource .venv/bin/activate && pip install tflite_runtime-2.16.1-cp312-cp312-linux_aarch64.whlscript/run --uri 'tcp://0.0.0.0:10400'wyoming-satellite, and follow the readme to run something like:script/run \
--name 'my satellite' \
--uri 'tcp://0.0.0.0:10700' \
--mic-command 'arecord -r 16000 -c 1 -f S16_LE -t raw' \
--snd-command 'aplay -r 22050 -c 1 -f S16_LE -t raw' \
--wake-uri 'tcp://127.0.0.1:10400' \
--wake-word-name 'ok_nabu'
And it works!
It should be pretty easy to roll this into a proper Alpine Linux package. I’ll take a look at it.
wget “https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community/aarch64/chromium-126.0.6478.126-r0.apk”
sudo apk add --allow-untrusted chromium-126.0.6478.126-r0.apk
As a relative novice who bought one of these without realizing how much technical expertise it would take to get it running, I’ll be monitoring this thread (and especially this effort of yours)!
wouldn’t it be useful to have a dedicated wiki for this project ?
The first post on this thread is a wiki post, so I believe anyone registered on the forum should be able to edit it. I have no strong feelings about what it should look like, but I recognize it definitely needs a cleanup. It contains a fair bit of information that is outdated or not really relevant.
I’d be happy for someone to take a stab at it to make it more friendly to people looking at this for the first time.
I’ve also started editing this a while ago: Lenovo ThinkSmart View (lenovo-cd-18781y) - postmarketOS Wiki
In other news:
If only I’d be doing this full-time or the day had 48h 
I recently bought an unusual “Lenovo Smart Display (SD-X701B)” which runs a full version of Android 8.1 (not Android Things, not Android Go, just Android) with a 64-bit kernel and OS.
It has some custom personal assistant software from a Chinese company, maybe some forgotten sample from Lenovo (who knows lol).
If it’s useful for discussion, I can upload the full firmware I got from EDL, which is compatible with the hardware of either the Lenovo Smart Display or the ThinkSmart View.
If it comes with a 64-bit Kernel and userspace it may be interesting to get a dump so we have 64-bit versions of the binary blobs.
It’s now on there: https://shorturl.at/LZsNy
Let me know if there are any findings and progress from here 
Some previews that might be useful:
Btw, I tried to extract the defconfig from my device and build the kernel using the source code from CD-18781Y (which is version 3.18, whereas Lenovo only provides version 3.10 for the Smart Display). However, I have never been able to get it to boot (it just goes into Fastboot).
Can anyone help with this issue?
for anyone having wlan-autoconnect-issues, there is a workaround ( WiFi - postmarketOS Wiki ) : editing /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<CONNECTION>.nmconnection and changing permissions=user:user:; to permissions=
Can you provide some advice with teardown? I want to replace eMMC (I think it’s dying)
Put the device screen down on a hot plate at 80°C for 5 minutes and then you can remove the speaker grille and the screen. They are glued in.
The speaker grille will have to come off if you want to access the mainboard. It doesn’t need to come off if you just want to replace the screen.
See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHqHFaXXTks
I tried replacing the eMMC in my free time. I used a 64GB eMMC from FORESEE, and everything seemed to go well. However, when I used QFIL to flash back my backup, Android got stuck in a bootloop. I checked the UART and found that the msm,board-id had changed for some reason, and the kernel couldn’t find a valid DTB. I couldn’t use Fastboot or even QFIL’s Partition Manager to refresh any partition, it always stays the same after writing.
are you tried using a larger eMMC? I searched and found some cases indicating that certain Qualcomm platforms can’t use Android after replacing the eMMC with a larger one, but Linux will works fine. I’m not sure if I’m stuck in this situation.
As the more technical folks discuss hardware modifications, is the assumption that pmos isnt going to be an option without doing some heat gunning and soldering? Just trying to decide what the best direction to take is for effectively a clock/photo slideshow/wyoming satellite for voice control is. As of now i am running lineageos and am having a bit of instability with wallpanel+rtpmic/ipcam+streamassist in HASS. Wifi is also an issue that keeps coming back. Random disconnects without the ability to reconnect. Gotta get the spouse approval rating up a bit more here. Lol
