| 18:34.07 | buZz | that these classes of devices dont really seem to try to get such fun methods of usage working |

| 20:56.26 | Maxdamantus | Maybe Maemo isn't able to boot off a 500 mA power source. |
| 20:56.34 | Maxdamantus | (without throttling) |
| 20:57.29 | Maxdamantus | If I'm using the CPU, Maemo will often tell me that it's consuming more power than is being provided by the charger. |

| 21:41.17 | sixwheeledbeast | Maemo can't use the wall charge to boot, it has to boot to ACT_DEAD before charging will start. |
| 21:49.13 | sixwheeledbeast | Need to build some small servers for remote deployment, thinking SBC or maybe NUC type size. Must be able to run a full modern amd64 distro tho. Any suggestions? |

| 22:53.56 | Maxdamantus | I don't think the question is about what it currently does, but why .. even if there are good reasons why the device can't pull a higher current before the OS has started, I imagine it wouldn't be impossible to boot Linux on 100 mA to the point where it can negotiate the higher current. |
| 22:54.10 | Maxdamantus | Presumably they just didn't think it was worth the effort. |
| 22:54.36 | Maxdamantus | maybe you'd need to set the clock speed in the bootloader or something, dunno how these things work. |
| 22:55.58 | Maxdamantus | but even if you overcome that, you still need to make sure it doesn't draw whatever it has negotiated, which would normally be 500 mA unless a dumb source is used. |

| 23:54.49 | DocScrutinizer05 | basically all phones can't boot from standard wallcharger alone since modem will draw bursts of >2A which the wallwart can't provide. I ran N900 from wallcharger alone for hours, after it booted with battery |
