| agneli | i have a question about a netbook called Lenovo IdeaPad A10 | 11:57 |
|---|---|---|
| agneli | anybody familiar with it? | 11:57 |
| agneli | it is rockchip rk3188 with Mali 400 | 11:57 |
| agneli | does it run in devian :) | 11:57 |
| agneli | ups | 11:57 |
| agneli | devuan | 11:57 |
| agneli | I am talking about netbook not the tablet | 11:58 |
| gnarface | well it definitely will if you can build u-boot and a kernel for it. whether any of the pre-built images support it though i couldn't say. there's a rockpro64 image here amongst them but i have no idea if it's compatible: http://arm-files.devuan.org/ | 12:00 |
| gnarface | the hardware doesn't sound too different from a pinebook pro so there's a good chance it can be done, one way or another | 12:02 |
| agneli | pinebook pro is on rk3188? | 12:03 |
| gnarface | but if you can get u-boot (or any bootloader really) and a kernel built for it, the devuan rootfs should work (you could just use debootstrap or steal a copy from another of the images up there) | 12:03 |
| agneli | that seem old SoC | 12:03 |
| agneli | or am I mixing something? | 12:03 |
| gnarface | no, you're not wrong, i think they have a different rockchip but i don't know if the kernel cares | 12:04 |
| gnarface | and there's a driver for the mali 400 somewhere too | 12:04 |
| gnarface | their wiki says the pinebook pro is a rk3399 | 12:05 |
| gnarface | but the kernel support conceivably could cover both, i don't know that it doesn't | 12:06 |
| agneli | i am regularularly building u-boot | 12:06 |
| gnarface | the mali 400 is the gpu in the pinephones, so i know there's a driver for it | 12:06 |
| agneli | that is definitely not an issue | 12:06 |
| agneli | also I guess I will get the kernel running | 12:06 |
| gnarface | well it might be worth trying the rockchip64 image that's up there | 12:07 |
| agneli | deboostrapping also is not an issue | 12:07 |
| agneli | you personally give me some optimising command 2 or 3 years ago gnarface | 12:07 |
| agneli | we were all still on freenode servers :) | 12:07 |
| agneli | and I am using that ever since :) :) :) | 12:07 |
| gnarface | oh? nice. | 12:08 |
| agneli | i am more woried about things like sound | 12:08 |
| agneli | any chips that might be there | 12:08 |
| gnarface | oh, no idea with that | 12:08 |
| agneli | that have no foss linux driver | 12:08 |
| agneli | yeah | 12:08 |
| agneli | somebody familiar with the device should confess here I guess | 12:09 |
| gnarface | hang around, slow channel but someone might show up eventually who knows | 12:09 |
