The port is done with help from uboot. Uboot sets up graphics and clocks/powerup usb.

MNT Reform is a open source laptop ( very high priced ).

I doubt there will be more features added in the near future, I am quite busy with RK3399.

The Pinebook Pro is a much more powerful device at a low price, and will be fully supported.

Nice work, Michael! It’s a bit of a niche device but an interesting one.

Is the Pinebook Pro available?

Since Linux RO works on the Pinebook Pro – it probably means pressure would be taken off the RO developer :-)

What’s Linux RO? I keep seeing you mention it but I have no idea what it is.

What’s Linux RO?

I think is the RISC OS
Linux Port.
RISC OS is started like a Linux App, not like an Emulator.

Should be able to use Linux box’s wifi – like any other Linux Prog.
