[Discord] <mecoblock> just went to the rockchip booth at Embedded worlds, these people really gave up on mainline support 💀
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> also when I mentioned RK3582 they were shook bc „how do I know about it“ 😭
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Werner> LOL
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Werner> Well I'll check for myself tomorrow if everything goes to plan
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> it sure was an experience.. of language barrier but they tried their best?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> collabora, linaro and ampere are awesome tho
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <lanefu> lol what do you mean gave up?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <amazingfate> Rk3582 is not public selled.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <amazingfate> Just received rock5c lite. I will unpack it later.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> as in „it’s too much work just use BSP“
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <lanefu> tragic
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <lanefu> one of these days I'll learn my lesson
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <lanefu> I wonder what MediaTek's commitment level is...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> just talked to them actually
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> first of all we need an armbian-mediathek channel lol
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> I have a contact who’s gonna try GPU on Genio 1200 since he thinks pcie this time was properly implemented compared to before
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> just talked to them actually they were super nice
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> first of all we need an armbian-mediathek channel lol since the Radxa Nio 12L (Genio 1200) is also coming with Ubuntu certification from canonical
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mariob> Remember this SoC was announced somehere in 2019
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mariob> And we're in 2024
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Werner> Creating new channel makes sense once there is enough talk about a specific topic. Until then simply use #ID:857944478269702214
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> i don’t understand how there are "no competitors"
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> also companies are BUYING them in an amount i didn’t thought was real
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> also companies are BUYING them in an amount i didn’t think was real
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mariob> Probably only SBC enthusiasts care about rk3588's specs, and that's too niche
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mariob> TV boxes, digital signage can do with less performance
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> yup
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> okdo said one customer alone bought like 500k
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> not sure if I understood it correctly though
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mariob> As for competitors, Intel N series are just better for similar price
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> it was loud but yeah
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mariob> As long as people keep buying and don't complain + community does all the work, nothing will really change.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> we really are irrelevant from rockchip perspective. Apparently companies ship stuff like mpp backported mainline in production
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <lanefu> RK3582 is code for RK358(1/2)
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <mecoblock> They told me it’s RK3588S with some parts fused off. I guess the rock5b demand must’ve been so high it was worth for radxa to release it with that soc
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <lanefu> @thebug1318 describes that chip really well... That binned RK3588S missing NPU and GPU is _only_ really useful as a linux device... so it's priced to sell.. and it's fine for a linux device
