pinetab2 booting when adapter connected

[diederik]

The machine starts up when you plug it into a power source. That's a known "feature." I try to plug it in before shutting it down. Then it stays shutdown.

I'm wondering: is this a pine-feature or a linux feature?

...

So I'm really curious who figured this "feature" out. Was it this Thorvalds fellow, one of his nephews at Danctnix, somebody at the pineclub or one of the factory workers where our tablets are being assembled?

It isn't a feature, it's a bug. The PineTab2 works surprisingly well given how new it is and thus how much work has been done on the software side.
And that includes the kernel/DeviceTree side of things.

Audio (together) with headphones didn't work correctly at first, but if you got the latest update(s), then it should all work properly.

I know this charging/poweron issue is known, but I do not yet know if there is a solution and/or whether it's deployed yet.

And there are other known and unknown issues which hopefully all get resolved at some point.

And if you try to be snarky/funny, at least get Torvalds name right ...
