U-Boot 2026.04 for #PineTab2 is now available!

It's recommended to upgrade to the latest for stability improvements. 

Kernel 7.0 for #PineTab2 is now available in danctnix-testing repo. Please give it a try!
Have made a fresh build of #SailfishOS to install on the @pine64 #pinetab2. Latest version 5.0.0.77, updated instructions here https://github.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/documentation/wiki/Installation . Make sue to update the flash-it script. Install can also be done from a barebones @danct12 danctnix running on SD, installing the required programs using 'pacman -S' instead of zypper.

How good is the PineTab2? I've been reading up a little on the Pine64 forums. I have had a PinePhone for a few years now so I have some experience with Pine64 devices.

From what I can gather, for the default OS there have been issues with Bluetooth and Wifi. How stable/usable is the default OS?

I am interested in using mobian/Phosh on the device as that is what I am most familiar with.

Are there any particular gotchas with mobian on the PineTab2?

Got the @pine64 #Pinetab2 running on @danct12 kernel 6.19 and #sailfishOS 5.0.0.76

To 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. 🙂

Having fun with NixOS on the PineTab2: u-boot video and USB keyboard now work, so I can select the NixOS generation to boot into without needing the serial console.
