## NexDock 360 with RasPi4
## Amiga Internet with NexDock 360 with A500 mini
Date: 2021-12-30
1. Extract 1) AmiNIMiga and 2) Pandory to SanDisk Ultra USB stick. Let Pandory owerwrite that one file from AmiNIMiga. More info below at topic `NexDock with A500 Mini`. Note: This does not require NexDock. This only requires A500 mini and USB Ethernet adapter like at step 3.
I today got Nexdock 360 from https://nexdock.com . It did take about 10 days to deliver from Netherlands to Finland. I'm thinking Nexdock to be kind of a version of stateless laptop https://blog.invisiblethings.org/papers/2015/state_harmful.pdf .
2. Edit USB stick directory `Extra CFGS/*.uae` all .uae textfiles, search from there `bsdsocket`, there change it to `bsdsocket_emu=true` . This enables Internet.
Anyway, here is RasPi4 that has 4 GB RAM, and now with Nexdock added, it is touchscreen laptop with keyboard backlight, touchpad, extra microSD slot, extra USB-C input with adapter USB-C to USB. I did draw text "Lunduke" directly to touchscreen at Inkscape. I can pinch-zoom Inkscape "paper", change size of that text, move windows with touch, etc.
3. Connect USB Ethernet adapter to A500 Mini. For example, I have `TP-Link Model UE300 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter` but it's possible it works with others too.
The config changes I did to Raspberry Pi OS:
4. Power on A500 mini, start AmiNIMiga, and browse Internet with for example with Work/Internet/IBrowse.
```
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
```
Add to bottom:
```
# USB Type-C Host for Nexdock.com
dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host
```

Wires:
1. Wall socket to USB-C power to Nexdock right side back
2. Wall socket to USB-C power at RasPi4, so that RasPi4 gets enough power to boot. RasPi4 is power hungry, earlier RasPi models can work with power from Nexdock.
3. RasPi4 microHDMI to HDMI to Nexdock miniHDMI at left side front (or whatever that midsize hdmi is called, cable included with Nexdock
4. RasPi4 wired Ethernet
5. RasPi4 USB2 to my external USB wired mouse
6. RasPi4 USB3 to Nexdock USB-C at right side back, with my own cable that I use for charging Android phone. This does make Nexdock touchscreen, backlit keyboard, touchpad, microSD port at right side back, USB-C port at right side front work. Included is USB-C to USB adapter for mouse, USB storage etc.
I prefer typing when I have turned backlit keyboard on, and touchpad off.
Touchscreen works in Raspberry Pi OS. Touchscreen does not work at RISC OS Direct, so there I use my wired USB mouse.
I am very happy with Nexdock, it is excellent for my developer use, and completely silent with RasPi4. This is my first touchscreen backlit keyboard laptop.
But is this portable? No way, RasPi4 is very power hungry, and look at the amount of wires! This is dongle world like Apple style! But for single-board computers use, changing microSD cards, etc, it is huge improvement in usability.
I did not get Nexdock working with my smartphones yet. I will try Nexdock with my other devices too.
