Linux

Found my Cosmo Communicator & Gemini, so I was looking into seeing how i could repurpose \ use them…
- UBports Forum: Cosmo Communicator
- Open Embedded Software Foundation (OESF) Forum: Ubports for Cosmo
- Ubuntu Touch: Cosmo Communicator: “The Planet Computers Cosmo Communicator is not supported by the current Ubuntu Touch release.”
  - So maybe i won’t be installing Ubuntu Touch…
- Planet Computers Support: Linux for Cosmo
- At least able to install the last(?) available Android version for the Cosmo Communicator: GitHub: shymega / cosmo-v25-android-fw-ota
- Open Embedded Software Foundation (OESF) Forum: Full installation guide KDE Plasma on Cosmo Communicator
- Kali: Kali Linux for the Gemini PDA
While looking into UBports for my Gemini or Cosmo Communicator, I saw that UBports is supported for the rabbit r1 & thought i might give that a try. I have Android running on mine, but UBports might be a bit more useful \ usable. At the very least it will just be fun to test out.

GitHub: meshtastic / device-ui: Map Tile Starter-Kit: “This folder contains a basic set of map tiles in different styles for Meshtastic UI enabled devices with SD card support. Each zip file includes zoom levels 1 - 6 of Earth’s surface, so whereever you are you’ll be able to zoom out and see in what country’s location you’ve been beamed to.”
- Now that I actually looked into how to get the maps working on my LILYGO T-Deck Plus, I started to get what I needed for my device. I have a 128GB SD card, so plenty of room for maps \ etc on there.
- I used map-tile-downloader to pull down some tiles, but I may have done something wrong because it’s not actually being displayed on my device. I’m seeing if the tiles I downloaded from the below Reddit post will work any better. -/r/Meshtastic: Meshtastic 2.6 Map Tiles with higher zoom levels
