It is possible to add explanations to certain expression or acronyms.

The example above shows the (in this case case-sensitive) expression OOB (you see it is "underdot'ed") with the explanation "out of the box" while pointing with the cursor on it.

 

Do you think this is a useful feature and if so what acronyms could/should be added to be automatically highlighted?

 

Ideas:

• dtc - device tree compiler
• dtb - device tree blob
• dts - device tree source
• IRC - internet relay chat
• sunxi - board family of Allwinner 32bit ARM SoCs
• sunxi64 - board family of Allwinner 64bit ARM SoCs
• XU4 - Odroid XU4
• OPi - Orange Pi
• N2 - Odroid N2
• C2 - Odroid C2
• C4 - Odroid C4
• RK - Rockchip
• AML - Amlogic
• AW - Allwinner
• M4 - NanoPi M4
• M4V2 - NanoPi M4V2
• P2P - peer to peer
• eMMC - embeeded MultiMediaCard
• OS - operating system
• VPU - video processing unit
• panfrost - driver for Mali Midgard and Bifrost GPUs
• cedrus - driver for hardware accelerated video de-/encoding
• PSU - power supply unit
• RC - release candidate
• WG - Wireguard

embeeded

embedded,

VPU - video processing unit (encoding/decoding)

 

GPU - graphic processing unit (3D acceleration)

SoC - System on a Chip

SBC - Single Board Computer

WIP - Work in progress

NAND - Flash storage

GPIO - general purpose input/output

 

CSC - the weirdo.. no support abbreviation

EOS - End of Support -  Hey Werner, die beiden schreien nahe zu nach einer Zusammenführung.
 

CSC - Community Supported Chip?

It is actually not the same as EOS.

 

I think I'll just add some of the suggestion and see what happens. It should not break anything (and if we can blame Invision :P)

 

 

Hm it does not add the acronyms to already existing posts. Not immediately at least. Maybe there is a cronjob or something that will take care of.

Since nobody complains I assume it is fine and can stay

Suggestions for additional acronyms are welcome.

Sorry, read it on the mobile - had an answer in my mind, but wanted to write on the PC and forgot it

 

Well, both are no longer supported. So, when you  change an SBC from Supported to Not-Supported - it doesn't matter for the user whether you call it  EOS or CSC - to this person it is the same.  No supported images.

As soon as someone steps in and want to support it again - its status would change to "supported".  As it is anyway on best effort - there is no difference at all. The EOS/CSC never made any sense.
