Mainline kernel port? #2

Open plaes opened 8 years ago

plaes commented 8 years ago

Do you guys have any plans for pushing for mainline Linux kernel support?

Most of the A13 SOC is already supported by mainline Linux [1] though there's still some work to do with e-ink and TPS65185 PMIC. (Not really sure which Goodix touchscreen and Realtek wifi variants are used).

A device tree has already been created to support new u-boot, but we need to write a DRM-compatible EPD driver. So far, nothing has been done, but in the long term, we plan to use Linux mainline.

Thanks, there's at least one guy in our community ( http://linux-sunxi.org ) who has the device, and we are documenting it here: https://linux-sunxi.org/Bookeen_Muse

Please help us to fill out some hw details (touchscreen and wifi chips for example).

Touchscreens differs amoung the hardware versions, but the Wifi chip is always RTL8188EU.
