Logitech Unifier Mouse & Keyboard?

[Oh-Be-One]

So.... I am the winner of a Inovato Quadra4K from a drawing at my amateur radio club meeting. Yeah! Cool!

 

It runs a software called HamClock automagically.... BUT WAIT! There is MORE!

 

You can exit that app and run other applications... Providing you have a mouse & keyboard (because I am a native WinWeenie) or keyboard if you are a Linux forever personage.

 

It also has a wireless interface that I would like to configure so it doesn't have to have an Ethernet tail tied to a port on our ISP router. I would rather it was mounted to a HDMI TV or monitor. So, I need the keyboard (and because I am a longtime WinWeenie and rodent dependent) mouse to reconfigure it.

 

I would like to have it use a USB Logitech Unifier Nano dongle with wireless keyboard/mouse.

 

By the way, the brilliant man that came up with this computer is trudging the same path I am, fighting cancer. His fight has gotten so tough he has shut down his company. I hope he gets better.

 

Is there already a compiled binary for this with directions,,. or do I have to master the dark arts of programming routines, subroutines, interrupts, memory fetches, writes, threads and all that then compile it into something the machine understands? Please understand I didn't even take typing in high school, so college was a real bear.... When I was in high school Jobs and Wozniak were still dumpster diving behind Xerox-Park Corporation and Radio Shack.

 

Any takers on this one?

 

Thanks in advance,

Dave, The-Other-One

LMAO!

 

So... What exactly is your question? Did you try "the mouse & keyboard" and they did not work?

I would say you will get basic functionality on almost any usb mouse or keyboard on linux. wifi on the other hand can be a hit or miss.

A quick search on "USB Logitech Unifier Nano dongle" gave me this: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=373365 so it seems you might want to use solaar to configure the stuff.

 

As for the Inovato Quadra4K, it looks like it is an allwinner H6 processor so I suspect it should work using armbian....

It appears there would have been no problem with the Logitech Unifying Dongle that uses Bluetooth. I ended up buying a Logitech Keyboard/Mouse combination that is practically identical except uses WiFi protocol rather than Bluetooth as per the suggestion of the vendor of the HamClock Quadra4K. PeeSHaw.... Prices have come down I guess... I found it at the local Wally World for $19.95 on sale... Crazy! I was asking because I had an older Logitech Bluetooth mouse and dongle and was thinking I would just use them and get the keyboard... Thank you for the help!
