It's time for us to give back -- not just to our community, but to those less privileged.
Read about it in our new blog post: https://www.pine64.org/2019/08/19/its-time-to-start-giving-back/
We are getting some love from etaprime on #youtube.
And we now have GUI on the #pinetab and #pinephone.
Still to do:
Screen rotation
Add WiFi and bluetooth drivers
Use a touch oriented DE
Maybe even switch to wayland.

The next FOSDEM will take place on 1-2 February 2020 at our usual venue, Université Libre de Bruxelles (thanks ULB!). https://fosdem.org/2020/
See https://fosdem.org/2020/practical/ for venue location and other useful information. The site will be updated further in the coming months.
Manjaro ARM now boots on both #pinetab and #pinephone.
Missing is still screen power on and interface creation. 😀

Progress on the #pinetab today.
Uboot is working. But it stops about 8 seconds into loading kernel with a pretty non descriptive "data error".
This is all through UART though, since the screen does not turn on.
Gonna try another kernel tomorrow to see if that works.
Own a Raspberry Pi 4?
Love XFCE?
Try out our new Preview for the #rpi4 with the #xfce desktop now!
XFCE is a desktop that has been wanted by the community for some time, and now we have started working on an official edition for it!

Linux 5.3-rc1 has been released, and one of the nice thing we contributed is the H264 video decoding support for the Allwinner VPU: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=6eb9b758e307481b116704fc5ea9f9fe84d7094b This is one more step towards completing our Kickstarter! We hope to have H265 decoding in Linux 5.4!
Another #teaser for you guys....
The first preview images for Manjaro ARM on the Raspberry Pi 4 is now available.
Be aware that they are Previews.
They indicate how far upstream "RPI foundation" are with aarch64 support for this board right now.

Manjaro ARM now has working 64-bit images for the Raspberry Pi 4.
These images are 64-bit only, so no 32-bit stuff.
The images are not ready for regular use yet, so we are keeping them internal, unless you want them for testing (in that case PM us).
They still lack at least Bluetooth and GPU acceleration.
