@mupuf Nice setup chief :) That one of the yetpkit boards you have?

@conor Hmm, not sure what you mean by yetpkit.

The gateway is an ikoolcore, and the usb hub is mega4 from uugear (https://www.uugear.com/product/mega4-4-port-usb-3-ppps-hub-for-raspberry-pi-4b/). The switch is a tp link (PoE and SNMP).

Then the trays are from IKEA and pretty much is the entire setup!

@elly Indeed! It all fit in my cabin-sized backpack... along with toiletries and some clothes!

@mupuf The hub is what I was talking about. yepket are a pretty small company that a bunch of kernel etc people seem to use for usbport etc control. Was just wondering if you were another person on that list :)

@mupuf @elly

They let you fly with that thing? Even actual bombs look less like bombs than this 😅

@maltimore @elly YES!

I got a semi-suspicious look in Helsinki airport at 4:45am... but that's it. Everything was packed neatly though.

@conor Thanks! I should get one and make sure it works OOB!

Would be fantastic if it had a unique serial number... A man can dream, right?

@mupuf What, exactly, do you mean by "unique serial number"? I'd have to check what they look like in terms of what shows up in /dev/serial/by-id if you're accessing serial ports over it, but I suspect they function like a normal hub there. In terms of turning on or off ports, which I think is what you were asking about, they have a command line utility for that which does take a unique serial number as an argument to differentiate between connected boards.

The video of the talk is finally out \o/

Go check how, in about 5 minutes, we've assembled, enrolled, and exposed to Gitlab CI a Steam Deck, a Raspberry Pi 5, a Vision Five 2 (RISCV64), and an HDK8550 (Qualcomm / Android)!
