开发者Remy van Elst更新了HP Prime G2图形计算器的Linux移植方案，为这款配备i.MX 6 Ultralite ARM Cortex A7处理器、256 MB DDR3内存和512 MB内部存储的设备增加了多项功能[1]。相比基于4.14内核的旧版本，更新后的系统改进了键盘输入、添加了USB串行设备支持、升级了触屏驱动适配，并能够启动时最大分配130 MB RAM[1]。
新版移植还支持运行X11图形环境、Doom游戏和TCC C编译器等应用[1]。由于HP Prime G2原采用的Goodix GT5688触屏芯片已停产，新版采用Ilitek ILI211X触屏驱动进行适配[1]。开发者已提供预编译包供用户下载使用[1]。
An updated Linux port for the HP Prime G2 graphing calculator has been released, bringing enhanced functionality to the device.[1] The calculator features an i.MX 6 Ultralite ARM Cortex A7 processor, 256 MB of DDR3 RAM, and 512 MB of internal storage.[1]
The new port builds upon a previous Linux implementation that used kernel version 4.14 but suffered from keyboard and touchscreen driver limitations.[1] The updated version introduces several improvements, including enhanced keyboard input, USB serial device support, and compatibility with up to 130 MB of RAM at startup.[1] A key hardware change involves replacing the discontinued Goodix GT5688 touchscreen with the newer Ilitek ILI211X model.[1] The port now supports an X11 graphical server, enabling the device to run applications such as the Doom game and the TCC C compiler.[1] Precompiled packages are available for download to facilitate user installation.[1]
The HP Prime G1 model uses a different kernel version, 6.1.35, and requires cloning four GitHub repositories for compilation.[1] Additionally, a Linux port exists for Windows 10 UEFI systems, though no downloadable image is currently available for that variant.[1]
