Radxa Dragon Q6A Linux details

#1

Would the Linux kernel be based on Qualcomm Linux with a vendor specific dts? Will the bootloader be released? Will the Linux kernel headers be released in a similar fashion like raspberry pi?

I am aiming to develop a driver for a high quality OLED panel using 4-lanes of MIPI DSI. I have written the driver for Linux.

I’m coming from working on Particle Tachyon that uses the same SoC but disappointingly their Linux release is still on vendor specific kernel 5.

#2

The Qualcomm Linux kernel (Yocto spin) is available, but Radxa are shipping this with Ubuntu.

It also looks like they will ship with a Kubuntu spin.

#3

Also on the Discord channel @Meco is working on Armbian running 6.15.7 kernel.

#4

Great news. Am I being too late to ask for a developer sample?

#5

I have a GPU accelerated Desktop already running out of the armbian build system. Just fine tuning now and I will do a dedicated post here with a what works and what doesn’t table with quirks to consider with the platform
