Why settle for less ? Why not have dual boot Android and Omarchy available, and that's exactly what we did !!! We now have dual boot it Nvdia Shield . Arch is running from external nvme via USB while Android remains on internal storage. This gives us flexibility and control .
If this is true , this is exactly the reason why Omarchy exists. Because arrogant maintainers think they know better .

I question again why is this happening right before elections? Adversaries are trying to shape the Anti AI narrative, knowing how unpopular it is. I blame Dario and Sam Altman for the negative AI sentiment.
The dog widget now has mood , appetite, real weather detection , nap time , and energy level .

There is something profound about loading a wall gardened box natively with Omarchy . It's the big FU to those manufacturers that didn't want that to happen . I have to say tho at least NVIDIA allows you to unlock your bootloader!
I don't know about you guys , but do you see a coincidence between all these hacks and the fact that we are few weeks away from midterm elections 🤔

Getting Closer: It works! The picture stayed up for the whole run and the board then rebooted into U-Boot on its own. Removing the sor power partition from Linux's control was the whole fix, which confirms what all four models found. The boot chain now works end to end NVIDIA's bootloader.
Grok and Codex FTW: In this kernel, the PMC power-management driver deliberately switches off every power partition that's on at boot, so that drivers can later power them up from a clean state . One of those partitions holds SOR1, the HDMI encoder cboot left running. So HDMI was cut early in every boot, whatever the PMIC did. This was discovered by Codex Daybreak and Grok found this on their own, and Claude confirmed it in the source.
Place your bets. Who will find the solution to booting into Linux first on Nvdia Shield 2017?
Claude Opus 5.5

If your aren't multi tasking unlike ever before, then you aren't using AI properly . Human output is now accelerated with all these agents .
Nvdia Shield 2017 on Omarchy Tech Notes!
Where small amounts of code might be needed:
GPU startup. On Jetson boards, U-Boot sets up a protected memory region before the GPU will start. On the SHIELD, NVIDIA's secure firmware manages that region.
Hyprland On Tegra, the display and the GPU are separate devices, and Mesa joins them for Hyprland. That combination is the least-tested part, so it may need bug fixes or configuration. Arch Linux ARM's Mesa already includes the needed drivers.
Bigger Gap
Hardware video decoding. Videos would decode on the CPU, which is fine for 1080p but weak for 4K. This would require some work.
Nvdia Shield Updates for Omarchy. The FIT image and boot-uboot-darcy.img are built successfully (11.8 MB total, fitting well within the 25.5 MB slot). One more step closer. LFG!!!
After 2 hours got a Uboot to load Nvdia Shield is under our control . One step closer to get Omarchy on Nvdia Shield
Efforts are under way right now to turn Nvdia Shield to Native Omarchy Uber TV let's see how far we can go . Wish me luck .
