GNU/Linux on NotionInk Adam

Folks, I’m giving up.
This hardware is just unusable.
This tablet is only usable, when you’re using it in a cold storage house under GNU/Linux.
Because of the hardware bugs every system using multi threading only boots once, when the tablet has been lying around for some days at a cold place (like let’s say in the wine cellar)
After having been warmed up a bit, it randomly freezes somewhere in the boot process which leads to funny things like a half built up login screen…
Can’t these people read the design guide lines and data sheets before they start wildly connecting some wires and give a PCB into production?
Also this TEGRA2 chip is already a unusable piece of crap.
And people buy this crap…
Can’t we just get rid of all companies producing SoCs except Texas Instruments and can’t TI do their smart phones them self by the way?
Would make the hardware market grow rapidly in quality… >.>

Texas Instruments is obviously the only company producing usable SoCs ATM

  • Good documentation
  • Works as expected
  • Nearly NO ASIC-errors (There are some like the battery bug in OMAP35xx)

  1. Hi,
    please share the 3.1 kernel which you had booting, Arch, Debian rootfs and any other stuff you’v made for Notion Ink Adam. Pixel Qi is still the reason many people are using Adam and your kernel work should be appreciated.

  2. hey there, leviathan, release the kernel and instructions on how you’v made it with Linux 3+
    I preciously need the PixelQi toggle embedded like it is in http://blog.mister-muffin.de/2011/05/01/putting-debian-on-the-notion-ink-adam/ but if no, any progress would be great.
    I haven’t made it with L4T R15 compiling so your help is very much needed here, struggling for a few month now, so badly I need the portable PixelQi with the reasonable performance.

    Rootfs and 3D driver would be also great.
