DanctNIXTo all PineTab 2 testers,
We just pushed U-Boot 2026.01 for #PineTab2
Please help us test it out, it should be in the danctnix-testing repository.

April 1st is over.
However, we really do want to port Haiku to the RK356x.
In fact, there is progress on porting Haiku to arm64 and it seems to be making good progress: https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/arm64-port-for-haiku/18772/1
We have NO PLANS to deprecate our ALARM-based Linux distro. 🙂
Debacle"Currently the DRAM shortage will impact the production of devices like the #Pinetab2, #PineNote and #PinePhone. #PineStore founder #TLLim has stated that he doesn’t wish to increase the price of hardware significantly so production is halted for the time being."
Until the #AI bubble bursts.
Also, no #PinePhone2 any time soon, for various reasons 😞

NosAm kommenden Dienstag, 17.3. gibts bei @c3d2 einen Linux-Mobile Hacking Themenabend. #Linux aufs #smartphone portieren und Treiberentwickeln.
Ich werde wohl mein neues #shiftphone8.1 und ein #pinetab2 mitbringen.

"Device Warranty: 30 Days"
...and...
"Small numbers (1-3) of stuck or dead pixels are a characteristic of LCD screens. These are normal and should not be considered a defect."
Uh huh, sure.
Are there any decent #Linux tablets or phones out there? Perhaps some stuff that their manufacturers and designers have a little faith in?
Bernard Pochet If I understand correctly:
1. I download factory default and flash it on a microSD (with DD)
2. I insert the microSD card and the UART card (last port).
3. I leave the switch off
4. I press the ON button for 2 seconds and the tablet starts up and reinstalls the factory default ... Right?
@thomas OK, on est probablement dans un cas similaire. Pour le moment, j'ai mis à jour à la première utilisation et après un premier démarrage, j'ai une erreur de boot. Le help desk m'a suggéré de réinstaller l'OS mais je n'y arrive pas... Il ne répond plus à mes questions et me renvoie au forum... Un peu galère...
Voici les questions que je posais :
