<samueldr>
one of lopsided98 or thefloweringash (not sure who has one) could tell the most recent status, if anything
<sphalerite>
damn, another rk3399 device I want :p
<lordcirth_>
Kernel 4.4 works but 4.20 doesn't? That's odd
<lordcirth_>
Or just that's the last version someone patched?
orivej_ has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
<sphalerite>
it's a vendor 4.4
<sphalerite>
or not
<sphalerite>
downstream in any case
<samueldr>
it's getting better, but AFAIK all RK3399 boards are painful with mainline _for now_
* makefu
can confirm
<samueldr>
u-boot issues might be fixed for the next stable or the following one
<samueldr>
kernel is "harder" and is wildly different per board
<lordcirth_>
samueldr, next stable u-boot, you mean?
<samueldr>
for u-boot, yeah
<samueldr>
a developer who always upstreams changes is working with a downstream vendor into getting stuff upstreamed for u-boot
<samueldr>
got ahold of a preliminary patchset that had some issues, but otherwise was a marked improvement
<sphalerite>
I'd like to try mainline on my nanopi, but I need zfs and 5.0 broke aarch64 zfs >.<
<samueldr>
(and the issue could still be grub's and not u-boot's)
<lordcirth_>
samueldr, awesome, is there a PR or something I can subscribe to?
<sphalerite>
(and 4.19 doesn't work)
<samueldr>
lordcirth_: not that I know of, waiting for more news myself :)
<tilpner>
lordcirth_: I have NixOS running on the Pinebook 11.6" (1080p)
<lordcirth_>
tilpner, oh cool, how hard was it?
<tilpner>
It was okay, took a few days, and that's only because I could steal a kernel config
<lordcirth_>
Also what do you use it for, and is it fast enough?
<tilpner>
No OpenGL acceleration means it can only do i3 and terminals quick enough
<samueldr>
tilpner: the pinebook with A64/R18 is in an entirely different league for software support
<samueldr>
tilpner: graphical accel is coming,
<tilpner>
I've heard as much
<samueldr>
from upstream mainline
<samueldr>
it's currently WIP on the pinephone, same chipset
<samueldr>
I'm _so_ behind on the pinephone stuff :/
<sphalerite>
but still ugly nonfree mali blobs, right?
<tilpner>
Also, it may have just been bad luck, but Pine64 sent me two bad displays
<sphalerite>
Or is panfrost catching on with vendors?
<tilpner>
You should also be aware of the 30 days warranty and potentially long shipping times
<lordcirth_>
tilpner, thanks! Looks like I should wait a bit.
<samueldr>
sphalerite: no blobs AFAIK
<tilpner>
keyword: lima
<sphalerite>
oooh right so completely unrelated to the rk3399 stuff
<samueldr>
completely
<samueldr>
though RK3399 might be close~ish
<samueldr>
like still in its useful lifespan
<sphalerite>
well rk3399 is midgard, i.e. panfrost terriroty
<samueldr>
[15:00:12] <tllim> [...] the back cover will have PinePhone wording and also FCC, CE, ROHS marking. During promotion with certain mobile OS community, also can print their logo and name :-)
