Manual build

You can build things for yourself by following our Manual build howto and by choosing from the configurations available below.

U-Boot

Mainline U-Boot

Use the "q8_a33_tablet_1024x600_defconfig" build target.

Linux Kernel

Mainline kernel

Use the "sun8i-a33-q8-tablet.dtb" device-tree binary.

Wi-Fi kernel module: https://github.com/Icenowy/rtl8723cs/tree/new-driver-by-megous
Tested with kernel 5.15.0-rc1-00014-g316346243be6
How to compile:

make -C [KERNEL_PATH] ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- M="$(pwd)" modules \
CONFIG_RTL8723CS=m

For turn off power save execute:

echo 'options 8723cs rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/8723cs.conf

CONFIG_IPV6 must be OFF in kernel otherwise Wi-Fi driver will crash!

FEL mode

The something button triggers FEL mode.

Adding a serial port (voids warranty)

UART pads near soc

There a two pads right of A33 chip. They are actually B0 and B1 pads of SOC.

Device disassembly

See the Q8 tablet format disassembly page.

Locating the UART

Describe how to find the RX,TX,GND signals here, and mention the UART howto.
