DC-ROMA RISC-V Pad II demo

Cool! Looks great and looks like you've had more success with the tablet than I did with the laptop version which currently only boots off the SD card and I can't get Bianbu, Fedora V-force or Ubuntu to play nicely with the NVME

[@DoktorCranium]

This tablet has internal EMMC and boots from it (so far only Ubuntu 24.04)

kinda crazy how much already runs on it

[@AngelaTheSephira]

It's standard Linux, you can run anything you want to. There's a reason Linux means freedom in the hardware hacking world.

@@AngelaTheSephira For 3D games you also need a certain level of OpenGL or Vulkan. And I'm struggling with that on my Banana Pi F3 (same SoC).

[@DoktorCranium]

@@LivingLinux You need to build with OpenGL ES support for ioquake3 - for Vulkan Im not sure the Mesa drivers work well

[@AngelaTheSephira]

@@LivingLinux The drivers should be compiled into your kernel. if not, they might not be mainlined so you'll need to use an (probably ancient) kernel.

yea... mine ran OK out of the box, but as soon as I did apt update/ apt upgrade it became a total paper weight. I have about 30 second input lag for any button and dont know what to do about it. Any advise? factory reset would be awesome.

Check here github.com/DC-DeepComputing/DC-ROMA_Pad_II_RV-P1B/issues
the apt-get upgrade overwrites mesa packages with vanilla ones from Ubuntu which do not have proper patches in place for the DC ROMA GPU (Imagination)
You can write to the support and they will send you a link to download a recovery image which you boot of a SD card and re-flash to factory state.
