RE: Pinebook Pro 'xtreme' - Luke - 11-28-2019 @Arwen The RK3588 is one of three SOCs that we're looking at for a future PBP. You know how we work: first a dev board, then a few months later evaluation of progress (seeing how Linux matures), and first then can we start a discussion if a particular SOC is viable. It doesn't matter how good a SOC is if there is no Linux or Linux-development for it. Personally, I am currently more interested in the regular Pinebook (non-pro) at this time, since its up for an upgrade in the foreseeable future and there are a lot of fun things we could do with a less 'serious' device.

Maybe a USB-C extension would fit the job but it would be great to control electronic stuff. So I²C, SPI, UART, CAN, Modbus, ... Actually someone can just expend the side daughter board to implement that GPIO expansion function. The side board schematic has been released, Pinebook and Pinebook Pro have same daughter board :-) If this interest is high, I can released the side daughter DSN and Gerber file. RE: Pinebook Pro 'xtreme' - Arwen - 12-01-2019 Looking at the daughter card's schematics, there are several un-used pins on the cable, 7, 8, 33, & 34. Just enough for another SPI device, (flash or otherwise). I've not yet checked the main board, but the RK3399 has 6 SPI interfaces. SPI 1 is already used for the bootable flash device. Some others have the pins re-purposed to something else. But their might be one of the 6 that is un-used at present. Perhaps a hardware moder version of the daughter board can use this as an interface.

Neither have been announced so under NDA ![]() RE: Pinebook Pro 'xtreme' - as400 - 12-04-2019 @Luke can you give us some tech details ? Like which Cortex'es ? How many cores and RAM ? Without any names of course. RE: Pinebook Pro 'xtreme' - Luke - 12-04-2019 (12-04-2019, 06:30 AM)as400 Wrote: @Luke can you give us some tech details ? Like which Cortex'es ? How many cores and RAM ? I'd rather not. What I will say is that one option will be very much akin to the RK3588 while the other will be something completely different. Read between the lines, and ask no more ![]() RE: Pinebook Pro 'xtreme' - brent.thierens - 12-04-2019 Ok, that made it clear to me. You are speaking about the 16-core RISC-V CPU Alibaba once showcased ![]() RE: Pinebook Pro 'xtreme' - fpex73 - 12-05-2019 I would rather have a more moddable PBP, with some more on board memory and support for SATA drives. Maybe a more powerful CPOU as well. Something an extra 50$ could easily achieve (if not less) |
