Current status

TODO

  • find the accelerometer on the pcb :)

You can boot uboot/linux with this device and the basic things are working. I'm using here Arch Linux ARM.


Hardware mainline linux Note
v1.1 v1.2
CPUfreq working working
LCD no no works, but not good (colorless, less gamma), needs probably an init sequence (see here: starry768x1024.c, this module is used by the Android OS)
Backlight working working
Touchscreen not tested yet working needs firmware "gsl1680e_101.fw" extraxted from gslX680new.ko, using ts_uinput from tslib
W-LAN rtl8723bs
working
rtl8723cs
not tested yet
rtl8723bs is in staging since linux-4.12 (also a firmware is needed) / rtl8723cs is available out of tree
Bluetooth not tesetd yet not tested yet
Sound not tested yet not tested yet

UART0 on iRULU X11 V1.1

There are UART pads available on this device, but they are not tested and probably multiplexed with the microSD adapter.
