Shulou(Shulou.com)12/24 Report--

CTOnews.com news on December 6, according to foreign technology media phoronix reports, developer Chris Morgan recently submitted the relevant patch for the Powkiddy X55 game handset to bring Linux kernel mainline support.

If a handset such as Steam Deck or Asustek Savior exceeds your budget, or if you are just enjoying classic games, then the release of this patch is definitely great news, which means that ARM handsets for less than $200 can also be supported by the Linux mainline.

The Powkiddy X55 is a relatively basic game handset that starts at $109, with a 5.5inch IPS screen with a resolution of 1280mm and 720 and a Rockchip RK3566 SoC.

Morgan said that the support for the Powkiddy X55 game handset is only the first step, and will continue to expand the ARM handset support in the price range of $100-200 (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 716-1432 yuan).

What are the benefits of adding Linux Mainline support? This means that developers can make it easier to migrate and synchronize performance, security, and feature updates.

One of the systems is JELOS (Just Enough Linux Operating System), an open source GNU / Linux distribution for x86 or ARM chip game handsets.

JELOS is currently suitable for handsets with custom kernels, but it also supports Anbernic and ODROID game handsets with the following chips. The attached list of CTOnews.com is as follows:

Rockchip RK 3326 (4 x Cortex-A35 CPU cores & Mali-G31 GPU)

Rockchip RK3399 (2 x Cortex-A72, 4 x Cortex-A53 CPU cores & Mali-G860MP4 GPU)

Amlogic S922X (4 x Cortex-A73, 2 x Cortex-A53 CPU cores & Mali-G52MP6 GPU)

Amlogic A311D (4 x Cortex-A73, 2 x Cortex-A53 CPU cores & Mali-G52MP4 GPU)
