<p>It feels like cheating to call this a cyberdeck since this is just kinda a linux phone glued to a bluetooth keyboard (after I 3D print some glue).</p>

The natural starting place for this was obviously Debian Jessie, the last version of the distro that officially supported the 32-bit PowerPC architecture. And wouldn't you know it? It just worked. Well, after wasting a few CDs because I'd apparently written then too quickly, if I recall correctly. I also at this point upgraded the base memory (from 256MiB, I think?) to 512MiB using an <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/192791214383">"A0383205 512MB PC133 Memory Dell Inspiron 3700 4100" Memory Stick</a>.<br> The natural starting place for this was obviously Debian Jessie, the last version of the distro that officially supported the 32-bit PowerPC architecture.

This made for an awesome novelty project- I even got some cool terminal programs like cmatrix and hyfetch running on it, which were fun to show off to my friends. But then I found in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250908055651/https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/debian-sid-installation-guide-powerpc.2146795/">a MacRumors forum thread</a> that <a href="https://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/">debian-ports</a> had some level of support for PowerPC, and proceeded to completely fuck up my debian install, because I couldn't be bothered to buy more blank CDs to put experimental disc images on, and tried to directly jump 4 releases at once.

I hadn't gotten the opportunity to return to this project before I eventually moved to another state, into an apartment that didn't really provide me room for projects like that, so I wound up leaving it in my home town. Upon moving out of that apartment and into my (at time of writing) current residence, I reacquired it and am hoping to see just how far I can push this thing.

I have no idea how viable this really is right now (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20260204063354/https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2020/04/msg00087.html">apparently the kernel might be troublesome?</a>) but I have much more experience at this point with manual Debian installs, including on unconventional hardware. That said, I expect PowerPC support in Debian's unstable version has not gotten any better than when I first attempted this, especially seeing as Trixie (current Stable release) marked the end of support for another 32-bit architecture, i386.<br> I have no idea how viable this really is right now (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20260204063354/https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2020/04/msg00087.html">apparently the kernel might be troublesome?</a>) but I have much more experience at this point with manual Debian installs, including on unconventional hardware.

I think my next approach will focus on <a href="https://idevicecollector.home.blog/2019/04/02/how-to-boot-your-powerpc-g3-g4-or-g5-from-usb-using-open-firmware-mode/">booting via USB</a>, which I couldn't seem to get working in the past. But if that fails, I've got enough blank CDs now that I should be set- and I plan to document commands & post disk images that I confirm work.

I'd also been wanting a USB authentication key for use with my computers, but didn't want to shell out the cash for a Yubikey. I realized for the same price, I could make my own and have parts left over.<br> I'd also been wanting a USB authentication key for use with my computers, but didn't want to shell out the cash for a Yubikey.

It works well, honestly I've no complaints with the firmware, and am happy with how the casing I printed turned out. I did wind up having to dremel some of the aligment walls for the button and shave it down.
