11:50 <freemangordon> I am about to buy new tablet to install linux on it, which tablet would you recommend?

12:06 <apritzel> freemangordon: what does "new tablet" mean, exactly? I think in the last 5 - 10 years we didn't get any new tablets supported in mainline

12:06 <apritzel> the Pinetab is probably the "latest" (Pinetab "1", with the A64)

12:08 <apritzel> you probably can get some newer tablets running with mainline, but there would be no display, not to speak of touch and suspend and such fancy things

12:09 <apritzel> at least that's the current situation on the Allwinner side, don't know about other SoC families

12:10 <apritzel> (probably rk3566/rk3568 might be better)

17:13 <freemangordon> apritzel: I mean "newer than my A33 with 512 MB RAM"

17:13 <freemangordon> so yeah, it seems pinetab is what I need

17:17 <apritzel> freemangordon: there are newer tablets, though: I have an A133 one (quad Cortex-A53), an A523 one (octa A55), and even an A733 one (two A76 + six A55)

17:18 <apritzel> the A133 one boots Linux (over serial), and I am somewhat hopeful to see the display working one day (it's somewhat working on those gaming consoles with the same SoC)

17:19 <apritzel> but if you are after a *working* tablet now, I guess the Pinetab it is

17:59 <freemangordon> yeah, I want *working* one to put leste on and use it

18:36 <BroderTuck> Found a somewhat interesting item on aliexpress, and traced it back to https://www.yishengtec.cn/en/?list_164/488.html Somewhat more costly than I believe it should be, and I don't see a sdcard slot anywhere.

18:55 <apritzel> freemangordon: if you want a working tablet, why an Allwinner one, then? I think the Pinetab2 (RK3566) is probably much better, and judging by the mainline DT, display+touch should be working there?

18:58 <freemangordon> is it available? on their site it is listed as "out of stock"

19:03 <apritzel> freemangordon: is it? I see it as "in stock" for the global (Hongkong warehouse) site?

19:03 <freemangordon> I wanted the EU version :)

19:03 <freemangordon> lemme check

19:06 <apritzel> yeah, EU is out of stock, but it's much more expensive there anyway (like twice as much)

19:11 <freemangordon> I wander isn't it better to order 4GB version, power usage wise

19:13 <apritzel> freemangordon: I don't think that the RAM contributes much to the power consumption, I would always go for more RAM, especially if the premium is affordable

19:14 <freemangordon> yeah, makes sense. thanks!

22:10 <mozzwald> Greetings. I'm working with T113-S3 and Linux 6.6.87. I've got a lot working but right now struggling to get the second cpu core enabled. Both cores are registered in the devicee tree but I can't seem to enable the second core. I started basing everything on mangopi mq and moved out to my own board in Buildroot. Sources at

22:10 <mozzwald> https://github.com/mozzwald/Buildroot-YuzukiSBC/tree/master/buildroot/board/lctech/lc-pi-t113. I suspect something is missing or wrong in my device tree, but I'm not entirely sure.

22:10 <mozzwald> I've applied some patches I found on the mailing list for some things, but have not found anything cpu related

22:11 <mozzwald> any advice appreciated

23:23 <apritzel> mozzwald: what's the error message, do you see anything in dmesg PSCI related?

23:32 <mozzwald> apritzel: dmesg shows it only enabled CPU0 but in sysfs I see cpu0 and 1. cpu1 is disable and I can't start it from sysfs. I do not have PSCI enabled, but did try that once and there kernel wouldn't even start

23:48 <apritzel> mozzwald: there is no SMP code in the mainline kernel, it's only PSCI there, and mainline U-Boot doing the actual job
