PineTab2 component support matrix

This is the PineTab2 equivalent of the PinePhone Pro component matrix. It starts as a bring-up plan rather than a bench-proven support table: the tablet has not been booted by this tree yet, but the Linux DTS is now imported locally with a FreeBSD first-boot wrapper.

Status language is deliberately conservative:

◐ partial means FreeBSD has a plausible RK3566 or shared-driver foundation, but PineTab2 hardware proof is missing.
· not started means the board node exists in Linux or the schematic, but this tree has no PineTab2-specific driver work.
○ blocked means we should not spend first-bringup effort there.

SoC and Boot Foundation

Component	Status	Bus / address	FreeBSD path
Rockchip RK3566	◐ partial	application processor	Reuse RK356x/Quartz64 groundwork; add PineTab2 DTB
RK3566 CRU / pinctrl / GPIO	◐ partial	SoC MMIO	Shared Rockchip infrastructure; verify board clock assignments
RK3566 IO domains	◐ partial	PMU IO domains	Linux DTS maps `pmu_io_domains`; FreeBSD needs bench readback
RK3566 TSADC	○ blocked	`tsadc@fe710000`	Known reboot risk on RK3566 boards; keep disabled for first boot
SPI NOR / SFC	◐ partial	SFC, dual I/O pins	First-boot DTB caps the flash at 50 MHz; boot order policy still needs bench proof

Storage and External I/O

Component	Status	Bus / address	FreeBSD path
eMMC	◐ partial	`sdhci`, 8-bit, HS200	Quartz64 covacat path is the reference; PineTab2 bench pending
microSD	◐ partial	`sdmmc0`, 4-bit	Boot/install target; `PINETAB2` enables `MMCCAM` so MMC/SDIO module glue builds cleanly
USB2 / USB3 host	◐ partial	EHCI/OHCI/xHCI + combophys	Use for keyboard, USB Ethernet, USB WiFi; combophy selection matters
USB-C charging / OTG	· not started	Type-C + RK817 VBUS path	Needs board-specific TCPC/role mapping before source/sink policy
micro-HDMI	◐ partial	DW-HDMI, connector type D	First graphical output target
Pogo keyboard	◐ partial	USB 2.0 HID	Should work once USB host power is stable
PCIe custom connector	· not started	`pcie2x1`	Disabled in the first-boot DTB; Linux DTS enables power/reset, but it is not part of first tablet bring-up

Display and Graphics

Component	Status	Bus / address	FreeBSD path
RK3566 VOP2	◐ partial	display controller	HDMI first; DSI path disabled in the first-boot DTB
DW-HDMI	◐ partial	HDMI output	FreeBSD has DW-HDMI lineage; PineTab2 is where it matters
DW-MIPI-DSI0	· not started	MIPI DSI host	Disabled in the first-boot DTB; RK3566 glue/panel proof waits until after HDMI and USB are repeatable
BOE TH101MB31IG002-28A panel	· not started	DSI panel@0	Disabled with DSI for first boot; Linux compatible `boe,th101mb31ig002-28a`; needs panel driver
PWM backlight	· not started	`pwm4`	Linux DTS has `pwm-backlight`; straightforward after panel power
Mali-G52 MP2	· not started	GPU	Disabled in the first-boot DTB; different GPU generation from PPP’s Mali-T860; treat as later DRM work

Power and Audio

Component	Status	Bus / address	FreeBSD path
RK817 PMIC	◐ partial	i2c0 addr 0x20, IRQ GPIO0_A3	Shared RK8xx core plus read-only PineTab2 battery/charger sysctls
RK817 charger / battery	◐ partial	PMIC internal	Monitor reads gas-gauge/charger registers; active charger programming waits for bench proof
TCS4525 CPU regulator	· not started	i2c0 addr 0x1c	Needed for DVFS correctness; first boot can rely on firmware defaults
RK817 codec	· not started	PMIC audio codec + I2S1	Disabled in the first-boot DTB; different from PPP RT5640; route through simple-audio-card later
Speaker amplifier	· not started	GPIO4_C2	Disabled in the first-boot DTB; `simple-audio-amplifier` pattern should transfer
Headphone detect	· not started	GPIO4_C6	Userland routing policy later

Input, Sensors, Cameras

Component	Status	Bus / address	FreeBSD path
Goodix GT911 touchscreen	◐ partial	i2c1 addr 0x5d, IRQ GPIO0_B0, reset GPIO0_C2	Shared Goodix driver now matches GT911, selects address `0x5d`, and reads the 186-byte GT9x config block; bench proof pending
SARADC volume keys	◐ partial	SARADC channel 0	`rk_saradc` now matches RK3568-compatible nodes; `rk_adc_keys` exposes debug sysctls for PineTab2 threshold proof
GPIO tablet/hall switches	◐ partial	GPIO4_A4 and GPIO0_A6	`gpiokeys(4)` now understands `linux,input-type = <EV_SW>` and can report `SW_TABLET_MODE` / `SW_LID`; bench proof pending
SC7A20 accelerometer	◐ partial	i2c5 addr 0x18, IRQ GPIO3_A2	Candidate `sc7a20` iicbus driver exposes raw axis sysctls; IRQ/orientation policy waits for hardware
Flash LED	· not started	regulator LED on GPIO4_A5 rail	Useful after camera stack exists
OV5648 rear camera	· not started	i2c2 addr 0x36, MIPI CSI	Disabled in the first-boot DTB; no current FreeBSD phone/tablet camera path
Front camera	· not started	MIPI CSI	Listed in Pine64 specs as GC02M2 class; not first-bringup work

Wireless

Component	Status	Bus / address	FreeBSD path
BES2600 WiFi	○ blocked	`sdmmc1`, SDIO function, host-wake GPIO0_B7	Disabled in the first-boot DTB; out-of-tree even on Linux; `MMCCAM` is enabled for bus/module correctness, not as a first-boot WiFi goal
BES2600 Bluetooth	○ blocked	same combo module	Do not block the tablet bring-up on it

Near-Term Tasks

Stage a first-boot bundle with mise run stage:pinetab2, then install it onto a mounted SD card with mise run install:pinetab2:sd.
Start mise run bench:pinetab2:firstboot -- start --name first-power, then boot to serial with micro-HDMI connected and USB Ethernet/WiFi available.
Stop the UART capture, add the optional SSH receipt once networking is reachable, and run mise run bench:pinetab2:firstboot -- analyze.
Prove sdhci, sdmmc0, USB host power, and the keyboard cover.
Attach I2C buses and confirm RK817, Goodix, and SC7A20 respond at their DTS addresses.
Only then start the DSI/panel path.
