If you are here, you know exactly why you are here.

How to build?

On the PineTab2 itself

0. Install the build tools and kernel headers, if not already done:

sudo pacman -S base-devel git linux-pinetab2-headers

1. Build the module

cd path/to/bes2600
make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$PWD modules

2. Load the module

sudo modprobe ./bes2600/bes2600.ko

On another machine

1. Build the danctnix kernel with bes2600 enabled
2. Build the module

make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- -C ../linux-pinetab2 M=$PWD modules

3. Deliver the module to the tablet and load it

sudo modprobe --force-vermagic ./bes2600.ko

TODO list

1. Get rid of all unnecessary code (usb/spi parts that we couldn't care less about) done
2. Implement MAC setting the standard way via DT local-mac-address done, needs provided dtsi
3. Use devm API for GPIO management done
4. Solve the sleep issue (PT2 doesn't go into sleep if bes2600 module is loaded) done
5. Test power consumption and implement sleep mode for the chip
