I recently received my #pine64 #pinetabv. Going to make a couple of videos on it. I want to publish a tutorial for batch 1 owners on flashing the new test firmware as it requires a new uboot image to be flashed onto the SPI chip.

One major thing I've noticed is that the SOC is highly dependent on the GPU. It cannot handle rendering using software as the CPU is very weak. It is very usable when the desktop is accelerated, web browsing is snappy.

I didn't manage to get the cameras to work, I noticed that there are some cobbled together scripts to get them to work, but that was unsuccessful. I did get display out to work fine though, as seen in the image.

Question for any Pinetab2 users. Has Anybody found any glass screen protectors that fit the tablets screen?

Doing some evening hacking, bringing up the @PINE64 #PineTabV with upstream Linux (6.8-rc3) with only a new DTS and no additional patch!

So far it boots with working console output and eMMC/µSD, but that's about it...

I just pushed some big updates to my #PinetabV and #Star64 plasma images. If you are already running and want to upgrade please see the release notes here: https://github.com/Fishwaldo/meta-pine64/releases/tag/v2.1 #pine64 #RISCV

Another Week - Another new image for #pinetabv (and #star64) - Kernel Version Bumps, Package Bumps in this release. Also, last actual release for PtV for a while, as now the images can be upgraded via "apt upgrade" online.
Major Changes for PtV include sound (enable it in settings), a updated kernel version 5.15.127 with the latest Starfive Vendor patches, improved EMMC performance, and a few thousand additional packages available via apt!

Grab it from https://github.com/Fishwaldo/meta-pine64/releases/tag/v2.0

For those using my plasma images for #PineTabV - new images have just been uploaded fixing charger and power issues, touchpad and a few other things. Grab the latest image here: https://pine64.my-ho.st:8443/pinetabv/ (GitHub has more details on the changes)

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (31/2023): #Phosh 0.30.0 bringing newer #wlroots, #rk2aw for better booting, and #Plasma Desktop on the #PineTabV

My KDE Plasma Image for the #PineTabV is now available for testing. Still lots to fix up but this has full GPU desktop acceleration, and feels responsive, even running from a SD card. Check https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab-v for details. #pine64 #riscv @PINE64 @pine64eu

The @PINE64 #PinetabV is real and in my hands! Nice keyboard case with touchpad too. Hope I can get some time to play with it properly so it isn't just a door stop, although it came with a kennel installed on it which is more than I had expected #RISCV

#star64 running Debian with wifi/usb/sound and GPU acceleration. Still needs some TLC but the bringup of this board is going quickly! this hopefully will help the #PineTabV get running quickly as well! @PINE64 @pine64eu
