ASUS "Tinker Board" Powered By Rockchip ARM SoC, Supports Debian

[discordian]

discordian you saying you got Wayland running on RK3288?

If so, that's awesome! Can you post any links on where to get all the right pieces to replicate.

I'm unable to even find documentation on porting Wayland..

I am not saying I got it running, I am saying it should be possible as the driver is available. Wont have enough time to play with this in the near future, but you dont have to "port" to Wayland, just use a recenct Gnome3 or Enlightment DE which come with support.
My plan is to get a bog-standard debian 9 running, with a dkms module for Mali, and working "apt-get upgrade".

There are multiple sources though (you apparently found one I did not know yet), and there are userpace drivers from ARM directly and ones from Rockchip (https://github.com/rockchip-linux/li...e/rockchip/lib). The Rockchip ones are r13, so newer ones and I am not sure if customized in other ways too.

Asus geting active on this, have nice page now, new TinkerOS images, etc... thing looks more and more better seems it will be ready for official release in about 10 days

Really? https://github.com/rockchip-linux
Bear in mind that the RK3288 is 2 years old (I got my Board long ago), and there is now Wayland support since a few months, and Vulkan support incoming (Rockchip employees show up in IRC regularly).

And the only blob there is the mali userspace driver, but thats ARMs decision.

thats dotting the I, fact is they still offer limited support. two years is nothing when you plan to use something.

All,

This is a great board for the price (OpenCL, VPU & WiFi). You should really give the yocto images a try.

Guide is available here http://rockchip.wikidot.com/yocto-user-guide

I was able to build an image with hardware acceleration, OpenCL, WiFi, FFMPEG & OpenCV support. I will make my customized YOCTO image available this evening. If anyone's interested I can share the yocto sources too so you may build and/or customize it as you see fit.

My ASUS Tinker board arrived yesterday. While its not the most important thing, the quality of the PCB and SMD's appear to be better than the low budget Raspi. Will give it a few runs of different OS types and a PTS burn in and see how it does. Nice that it fits my existing Raspi cases.

I ran Michael's prebuilt PTS script for SBC's on the Asus Tinkerboard and the default OS (Debian 9). You can now do a direct compare to the Raspi and other mini-bloards with SOC's.

Hi,satiiitb a
i am very interested, can you share a copy of your yocto system image to me, thank you very much, my email is [email protected].
