PineTab2

The RK3566 tablet index: first-boot path, board references, and the source material that should steer the FreeBSD bring-up.

PineTab2 work should stay separate from the PinePhone Pro narrative. The tablet is an RK3566 board first, then a tablet: prove U-Boot, serial, storage, USB, and micro-HDMI before spending time on DSI, suspend, cameras, or the internal BES2600 WiFi.

Boot spine

◐ partial

The Linux PineTab2 DTS is imported with a FreeBSD first-boot wrapper and a PINETAB2 kernel config. Hardware proof still waits on the tablet.

Console and display

◐ partial

Prefer micro-HDMI for first graphics proof. DSI, panel power, rotation, and touch can follow after the base DTB is stable.

Storage and USB

◐ partial

Start conservative: SDR50 for microSD, USB Ethernet or USB WiFi for networking, and USB HID for the keyboard cover.

Tablet hardware

· not started

RK817 charger, HUSB311 Type-C, Goodix GT911, SC7A20, SARADC keys, BOE DSI panel, and cameras are tracked as separate follow-on blocks.

Reading Order

Use these pages as the PineTab2 shelf. The first four are the board-specific references; the last two connect the tablet back to the shared project material.

/appendix/pinetab2-hardware Hardware reference Board-first manifest: RK3566 foundation, display path, power, touch, sensors, keyboard, and camera blocks. /appendix/pinetab2-components Component matrix Status grid for each device and the expected FreeBSD driver surface. /appendix/pinetab2-schematic-map Schematic support map Functional grouping by boot, power, display, input, network, audio, and sensors. /appendix/pinetab2-source-map Kernel and source map Megi, DanctNIX, postmarketOS, U-Boot, and the board-specific lessons to carry into FreeBSD. /appendix/pinetab2-first-boot-recipe First-boot recipe Build, stage, and install the PINETAB2 kernel plus FreeBSD first-boot DTB onto an SD card. /appendix/hardware/#pinetab2-rk3566 Combined hardware manifest Cross-board chip table when you need PinePhone Pro and PineTab2 side by side. /appendix/porting-research/#pinetab2-building-on-the-quartz64-foundation Porting research Original RK3566/Quartz64 strategy notes and first-boot constraints.

Appendix Entries

These are the PineTab2 pages currently registered in the site navigation. New board-specific pages should land here before they appear in the shared appendix list.

  1. PineTab2 hardware reference RK3566 tablet manifest and first-bringup constraints.
  2. PineTab2 component support matrix Tablet-specific component index for the RK3566 target.
  3. PineTab2 schematic support map Board-level grouping for the RK3566 tablet bring-up.
  4. PineTab2 kernel and source map Megi, DanctNIX, postmarketOS, U-Boot, and the board-specific lessons worth carrying into FreeBSD.
  5. PineTab2 first-boot recipe Stage the PINETAB2 kernel, install the FreeBSD DTB, and prepare the SD card before hardware arrives.

Current Rule Of Thumb

Treat PineTab2 as mostly-mainline RK3566 plus a small board patch stack. The local first-boot DTB keeps TSADC disabled, caps microSD at SDR50, caps SPI NOR at 50 MHz, and leaves the GPU/NPU rail on. Internal WiFi remains a deliberate skip until the base board is repeatable.
