Another Week - Another new image for #pinetabv (and #star64) - Kernel Version Bumps, Package Bumps in this release. Also, last actual release for PtV for a while, as now the images can be upgraded via "apt upgrade" online.
Major Changes for PtV include sound (enable it in settings), a updated kernel version 5.15.127 with the latest Starfive Vendor patches, improved EMMC performance, and a few thousand additional packages available via apt!
For those using my plasma images for #PineTabV - new images have just been uploaded fixing charger and power issues, touchpad and a few other things. Grab the latest image here: https://pine64.my-ho.st:8443/pinetabv/ (GitHub has more details on the changes) #pine64#riscv
Endless OS 5.1 is available as a preview release for Pinebook Pro, now with more detailed instructions—including flashing to the internal eMMC! Give it a try and let us know what you think.
Wrote a blog post about the first two months of my #pinephone Pro usage as a PDA and how I got around solving some initial hardware problems (spoiler: read the manual, then asked the support team).
I've been running NetBSD10_RC for months on my RockPro64 and only recently learned about using
/usr/sbin/schedctl -A 4,5
to force a process to use the faster CPUs. Hopefully this improves a daily ffmpeg job I have. #NetBSD#RockPro64#pine64
