    Note for the record: this version doesn't support (yet) Rockchip's proprietary DRAM initialization, and thus won't support yet low power sleep, and dynamic speed and power consumption throttling of DRAM (which are useful features for people using the PinePhone Pro as a mobile phone, e.g., on Sailfish OS) unlike, say, the U-boot firmware versions that Megi package with his rk2aw pre-loader.

    But as linked above, it's on the roadmap for the next milestone. Yay!

      Typo on this article: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-CR-24.13.29138.7

      Also the forum link on that article goes to the main forum, not a post specific to that article.

          # pacman -S nix
