PineTab-V

The PineTab-V with the detachable keyboard attached

The PineTab-V is PINE64's first RISC-V tablet. It is based on the JH7110 64-bit RISC-V SoC. The packaging is very similar to ARM-based PineTab2.

Introduction

In late 2022, PINE64 announced plans to help grow the RISC-V hardware ecosystem alongside the existing ARM-based device line-up. The PineTab-V is an experimental device, which ships without an OS and without any promises. The JH7110 RISC-V SoC, and the RISC-V architecture in more general, is currently best described as having limited Linux support. You can think of it as a convenient development platform targeted at those of you interested in bringing Linux support to JH7110 and, by extension, the entire RISC-V ecosystem.

State of the software

The PineTab-V is an experimental device and lacks dedicated working software – it should therefore only be purchased by people interested in helping with the bring-up process of Linux and BSDs on the RISC-V architecture.

Warning: Do not buy the device unless you intend to use it for operating system development purposes.

The PineTab-V is shipped without an operating system pre-installed.

Releases
