[Pipo-Project]Freaktab to Continue Pipo Firmware Support on Discontinued Models

[d33]

M7 Pro is now finished.

Full list of current kernels you can build from the multi-kernel repo is:

Pipo M6 Pro, M7 Pro, M8 HD, M9 Pro, M9 Max,
Cube U30GT2

I've asked Slowry to provide his config/board source to amalgamate the M6 Max too

M6 Max added

Is the multi-kernel repo free? Vor only for freaktab developers?

It is now open source.

Currently it is housed on GitHub under my account "Dee-UK"

Hi,

I'm working on a kernel for a Odys noon pro which is said to be just a repackaged Pipo M1 pro.

I started off with your git repo and the defconfig and board file for Pipo M6 max as the case looks very much the same so I hoped the board would be at least very similar and the main difference being the display panel.

My goal is building a linux kernel.
The kernel boots and the framebuffer, the keys, and USB work ok.
The touchscreen behaves like a touchpad, but I think this is a input driver problem on the Xorg side.

I'm asking for your help regarding wireless connectivity. I seems that MT5931 is used for WiFi and MT6622 for bluetooth. I am stuck because there seem to be 4 configuration settings regarding these chips in 3 different places ("/device drivers/network device support/Wireless LAN/" and "/device drivers/MediaTek Connectivity Combo Chip Config" and "/drivers/Misc devices/ MTK wireless chip configuration").

Can you help me with:
* how to configure the kernel for MT5931 and MT6622
* which board file to start off when working on a Pipo M1 pro

I'll be glad to share any progress to your repo or on this forum

Regards
Alan

I haven't heard of an M1 Pro before so no idea which board is closest.

Wifi should be configured as MT5931 from main selection menu and then MT6622 support toggled seperately. One of the tablets (M9 Max) has this config

CONFIG_MT5931=y
CONFIG_MT5931_MT6622=y
CONFIG_MTK_MT5931=y

I got Wifi running, thank you for your help. Still struggling with BT init, but that is not a kernel problem.

The M1 pro is one of Pipo's 1.6GHz 9,7" 4:3 tablets, by the way.
M1: rk3066 1024x768 IPS
M1pro: rk3188 1024x768 IPS
M6: rk3188 2048x1536 retina IPS
As they all have very similar cases down to the arrangement of connectors and buttons, I hoped the boards within would be related if not the same.

Glad to hear you made progress. Please push your working kernel config file back when you are successful
