DRAGONBOX PYRA 1080P
The full spec for the Pyra can be found on the official website, but to summarise it’ll be a dual core 1.7Ghz OMAP5432 with 2GB Ram and a 5 inch 1080p display. The development board in the video below is running Battle Of Wesnoth at the same time as 2x PS1 emulators all whilst doing some image manipulation in The Gimp. In the videos below, Michael (otherwise known as EvilDragon on the OpenPandora boards) outlines his goals for the new machine, discussing his decision for choosing another Texas Instruments SoC and playfully boasting of the OMAP5432 capabilities. In 2017, Salon noted the Pyra in an article about the comeback of the netbook.Michael Mrozek was one of the main guys behind the original Pandora concept in 2009, and at FOSDEM (Free and Open source Software Developers’ European Meeting) yesterday he announced his own successor to the ageing machine – the Pyra.

The around 1,500 applications, created for the mostly open source OpenPandora software ecosystem, are expected to be available for the Pyra in short time by source ports. The operating system will be based on the common open source Linux distribution Debian which allows the use of already available desktop open-source applications from the Debian ARM repository, for instance Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, GIMP, etc. In November 2016 a pre-release version of the Pyra schematics was made available under a CC BY-NC-SA license.
The certification is not only about bundled software, using proprietary software, or recommending it, such as non-free (including emulated) games, but also about naming, e.g.
DRAGONBOX PYRA DRIVER
For compliance with the Free Software Foundation's " Respects Your Freedom" certificate the closed source SGX GPU driver was identified as the only remaining software roadblock ("would be good to have free drivers, but we can't achieve this for the GPU" but the device may or may not run without a 3D driver, possibly free 2D driver is available or either could be made). It was announced that the hardware schematics will be available (final license undecided), which make the Pyra a kind of Open source hardware.
The Pyra is assembled with screws (not glued) and is therefore repair and modification friendly. The replaceable CPU board allows future upgrades of CPU and RAM. For instance the PCB is separated in three parts: CPU board (CPU, RAM and storage), mainboard (ports, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) and the display board. The Pyra design aims for modularity and openness in software and hardware alike. Like the predecessor OpenPandora, the Pyra includes features from several architectures making it a cross between a handheld game console, a subnotebook, a PDA, and a smartphone.
