h1. PinePhone Note that the PinePhone is not out yet at the time of writing[12], so some of the specification could still change between now and when it's released. |_. Feature |_. Chip |_. comments |_. TODO | | System on a chip | Allwinner A64 Quad Core SOC[9] | * The bootloader should be fully free software[7] including ARM Trusted Firmware[8] * The code should be upstream already[7] | TODO: * Look at the code | | GPU | Mali 400 MP2 GPU[1] | * A "pipe" driver is in Linux since 5.2 * Has (very early) support in Mesa | TODO: * Regularly check kernel and MESA status | | Modem |/2. Quectel EG-25G[1] with[2] worldwide bands[4] | * The EG-25G is an international version of the EC25 * It probably runs GNU/Linux too but we need to confirm that | TODO: * How supported is the AT support? * How supported is the QMI the protocol? * What's the similarity with the EC-25? | | GNSS[1]: GPS, GPS-A, GLONASS[4] | | | WiFi |/2. RTL8723CS[3] | * Requires a nonfree loadable firmware[3] | | | Bluetooth: 4.0, A2DP[1] | * It uses a nonfree firmware[3]. TODO: * Check if it really requires that firmware or if it has some rom code that could be used ? | | USB – C[1] (Power, Data and Video Out) | |* USB 2.0[9] * Serial console is only available in the headphone connector (activated by the 6th contact on the dipswitch[10])| | | RAM | 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM 5.95″ LCD 1440×720, 18:9 aspect ratio (hardened glass) | | TODO: * Check if it meets [[HardwareRequirements|Android 9 requirements]] | | Main Camera | Single OV6540, 5MP, 1/4″, LED Flash[1] | * Mainline driver[5] * No firmware required[5] | TODO: * Check if it requires a loadable firmware | | Selfie Camera | Single GC2035[1], 2MP, f/2.8, 1/5″ | | TODO: * Check if it requires a loadable firmware | | Bootable Micro SD[1] 16GB eMMC[1] | *Boot order:MicroSD->eMMC[6]| | | Sensors accelerator, gyro, proximity, compass, barometer, ambient light[1] | | | TODO: * What chips are used | | LCD panel and touchscreen | | Probably works with free software[11] | | h2.

From #replicant channel on Freenode: <pre>< MoeIcenowy> The Wi-Fi changed to RTL8723CS (this chip also does BT), which needs non-free firmware to be feed</pre> fn4. From #replicant channel on Freenode: <pre>< MoeIcenowy> The GNSS should be also done by EG25-G</pre> fn5. From #replicant channel on Freenode: <pre>< MoeIcenowy> The OV5640 camera doesn't need firmware and its driver is mainlined</pre> fn6. From #replicant channel on Freenode: <pre>The boot order is strictly MicroSD->eMMC, which is set in the A64's boot ROM</pre> fn7. From #replicant channel on Freenode: <pre>The bootloader (U-Boot SPL + ATF + U-Boot) is free software, all mainlined now (and the downstream dirty U-Boot cannot boot upstream Linux kernel)</pre> fn8.

From #replicant channel on Freenode: <pre> 01:48 < adjtm> GNUtoo, lukasz confirmed me that the lcd doesn't require proprietary firmware to be uploaded 01:49 < adjtm> the conversation between pine64 staff about the lcd that someone posted on irc was probably before deciding in the last lcd</pre> fn12. https://www.pine64.org/2019/09/05/september-update-the-pinephone-is-real-shipping-soon/
