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.

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. 🙂

Development News March 2026
Here’s our third development progress update for 2026. This can still be a bit spotty, if you find something missing please provide a merge request. The preparations for the 0.54 release are currently in full swing, quite a bit of bug fixes and housekeeping but there are also some new features like speech input looming on the horizon. Check out the details below. Want to try this out already? See below.
We want to port Haiku to the RK356x platform 🙂
It's a long term plan but once Haiku port for RK356x is done and ready, we'll:
- Deprecating our ALARM-based Linux distro in favor of Haiku.
- All new PineTab2 will ship with Haiku instead of traditional ALARM-based Linux distro.
- Existing users will still remain on ALARM, however there'll not be any updates (user will receive "there is nothing to do" when they tried to update it)
