          There are new Pinetabs also out there I just saw.
          Pinetab 2 (ARM device) and Pinetab V (RISC-V device).
          Any work on those ?

            Sorry but there have been no discussions about the Risc-V version on telegram. I drop a question about it 🙂
            Both the Pinetab and the Pinetab 2 gets updates too. There are 3 images in the linked page above one for Pinetab and one for Pinetab 2 the third one is a unified image for both pinephones.

              Oren wrote that they don't have access to a Risc-V model and he didn't think that there will be any image for it in a long time due the amont of work they have to put into the arm versions that they have.

                Here is a longer answer from Oren regarding the Risc-V versions:

                @Luigi311 cant find you on the UT telegram but how has your PTV experience been? do you think its in a state where we could consider a port yet?

                Pine64 Protocol Droid — 08/21/2023 11:41 PM
                [M] <luigi311> It’s been pretty good. The only things that I would say are show stoppers are suspend and especially for UT is the qt web browser issue.
                [M] <luigi311> Might be fine to do a rhino port though

                oklopfer — 08/21/2023 11:43 PM
                lol morph is based on qtweb so thats definitely an issue xD is it a code issue that can be fixed or a full hardware issue?
                dont know why it would be hardware but who knows, the bes2600 is crazy
                yeah i would love to do a rhino port but then i would have to pay for it 😛 if its for UT first then it can be covered

                Pine64 Protocol Droid — 08/21/2023 11:52 PM
                [M] <luigi311> It should be a code issue since riscv wasn’t adding into chromium until Jan this year and qt web is nowhere near that version. Suse has a potential patch but doesn’t seem to be working but fishwaldo mentioned trying to look into it.
                [M] <luigi311> If he does get the patch working though I’m not sure if UT will accept the patch any time soon though since that could potentially affect every device and might cause issue with their only browser lol

                oklopfer — 08/22/2023 12:18 AM
                and so we wait…

                Fishwaldo — 08/22/2023 12:46 AM
                Yah. It’s a very intrusive patch that will never get accepted by upstream. You might have better luck with qt6 but other areas it breaks on riscv currently
                It also requires a ton of patches to things like Mesa, and fffmeg etc. (of which all patches are based on old versions). If you have no problem using older releases of Mesa then it should be ok to do a port. If you have to stick to a particular version, it’s going to be a big porting effort especially for Mesa.

                  Thanks for the infos.
                  So there is some work on RISC-V wich is a good thing I think.
                  More important is that PT2 is supported of course ^^

                    Hi
                    Here is little something from Oren & CO on telegram:

                    Oren, [2023-09-19 16:41]
                    Everything except the externaldisplay stuff has been merged 😄

                    Oren, [2023-09-19 16:45]
                    That means that in theory, ppl can update their devices with apt and it will install rotation :))) pinetab2 will have to delete its .yaml.dpkg-old, but other than that, it’s all upstream

                    will probably make a new release today, next one can be camera/gps/OTA upstreaming :DDDD

                        Hi
                        Here is a little note from Oren & CO over att Telegram:

                        https://ci.ubports.com/job/focal-hybris-rootfs-arm64/job/master/

                        These are our images, ready for your usage, building daily. I’m still figuring out how we will have these distributed. I’ll be updating my gitlab page, the pine64 wiki, and the ubports wiki in the next few days pointing to here, most likely.

                        You can select last successful artifacts or click on the “+View” button, then click to download the .raw.xz file of your respective device. then flash it in the same way as our downstream images.

                        Please note: these are still r/w and still have to be upgraded through apt. However, you should notice multiple improvements with ContentHub, the modem, and even GPS support. We are actively working on r/o and system-image updates, you can follow the progress in this chat.

                        Issues/other comments:

                        • network + modem seem to die on the pinephone pro when put to sleep. sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager ofono will get them back on, but we believe this is a problem with the kernel. We are actively working on this too.

                        • external monitor support is still poor, and camera is not working yet. Again, we are working on this.

                        • almost all of contenthub works. However, some things seem to require apparmor profile updates. For example, you can now correctly upload images to telegram, and you can download them from telegram, but trying to have the file open the downloaded file will still fail. You have to locate it manually.

                        • GPS should be working OOTB, but in reality it seems to be acting slightly funny. If it does not work right away, we have found switching to our branch that fixed it sudo ubports-qa install focal_-PR_location-service_27, then sudo ubports-qa uninstall focal-_PR_location-service_27 right after to remove it, it seems to bring GPS online

                        • PineTab2 WiFi has new, safer one-liners! sudo systemctl start pinetab2-wifi-enable + reboot to turn it on, sudo systemctl start pinetab2-wifi-disable + reboot to turn it back off. These are not persistent, so you can’t systemctl enable them.

                        Finally, I could not have got this far without @Luigi311 + @fuseteam, huge thanks to both of them for helping me take this project on 😁

                          Here is another post from Oren & CO:

                          Also they will likely recieve another few package updates in the next few days when OTA3 comes out, so these are test images until that is fully released (UBPorts will announce it). Then they are officially "beta" upstream images, before our OTA-upgradable final version.

                          Edit:
                          From Oren & CO:
                          i am waiting to upload this to the ubports + pine64 wikis until OTA3 comes out
