# UMPC hardware configuration for Ubuntu

Here are a couple of scripts for Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPC) such as the
[GPD Pocket](https://gpd.hk/gpdpocket), [GPD Pocket 2](https://gpd.hk/gpdpocket2),
[GPD Pocket 3](https://gpd.hk/gpdpocket3), [GPD MicroPC](https://gpd.hk/gpdmicropc),
[GPD WIN 2](https://gpd.hk/gdpwin2), [GPD P2 Max](https://www.gpd.hk/gpdp2max),
[GPD WIN Max](https://gpd.hk/gpdwinmax) and [Topjoy Falcon](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/440069565/falcon-worlds-first-8-inch-2-in-1-laptop)
for Ubuntu users.

* `umpc-ubuntu.sh`: install the required hardware configuration on a running Ubuntu install.
* `umpc-ubuntu-respin.sh`: modify an existing Ubuntu .iso image with UMPC specific hardware configuration.

Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPC) have had something of a resurgence in recent years
thanks to very successful crowd funding campaigns for netbook style laptops
featuring a high resolution touch displays housed in an aluminium alloy
body. These scripts for UMPC devices are based on the excellent work by
[Hans de Goede](https://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/), [nexus511](https://apt.nexus511.net/),
[stockmind](https://github.com/stockmind/gpd-pocket-ubuntu-respin) and many
others.

## Pre-configured images

The Ubuntu MATE team offers bespoke images for the
[GPD Pocket](https://gpd.hk/gpdpocket),
[GPD Pocket 2](https://gpd.hk/gpdpocket2),
[GPD Pocket 3](https://gpd.hk/gpdpocket3),
[GPD WIN 2](https://gpd.hk/gdpwin2),
[GPD MicroPC](https://gpd.hk/gpdmicropc),
[GPD P2 Max](https://www.gpd.hk/gpdp2max),
[GPD WIN Max](https://gpd.hk/gpdwinmax) and
[Topjoy Falcon](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/440069565/falcon-worlds-first-8-inch-2-in-1-laptop)
that include the hardware specific tweaks to get these devices working
*"out of the box"* without any faffing about. Some models of the OneMix
Yoga devices are also supported.

*

## What works

The [Ubuntu MATE images for the UMPCs](https://ubuntu-mate.org/umpcs/) add the following tweaks:

* Enable **frame buffer, Plymouth and Xorg display rotation**.
* Supports `modesetting` *and* `xorg-video-intel` display drivers.
* Enable **TearFree rendering by default**.
* Enable touch screen rotation for Xorg and Wayland.
* Enable **scroll wheel emulation** for Xorg.
* While holding down the **right track point button** on the Pocket, Pocket 2 & Topjoy Falcon.
* While holding down the **centre track point button** on the MicroPC & Pocket 3.
* Enable double size console (tty) font resolution for high resolution devices.
* Enable **fractional scaling** for 1920x1200 displays. *(MATE Desktop only)*
* Results in an effective resolution of 1280x800 to make the display panels easily readable.
* Simple to toggle on/off if you want to restore full resolution.
* GPD Pocket:
* BRMC4356 WiFi firmware enabled by default.
* Fan control kernel module enabled by default.
* GPD Pocket 3 & TopJoy Falcon:
* **Accelerometer support for automatic screen rotation**.
* GPD WIN Max:
* Features a custom, persistent, EDID.

## Known Issues

* GPD Pocket
* GPD Pocket 3
* GPD MicroPC
* GPD WIN 2
* GPD WIN Max
* TopJoy Falcon

### Boot splash is rotated 90 degrees

The workaround is to tilt your head. Issue affects:

* GPD Pocket 3

## The Scripts

These scripts have been tested on [Ubuntu MATE](https://ubuntu-mate.org) 20.04.1.
All Ubuntu flavours should work although if you use Wayland your mileage may vary.

### umpc-ubuntu.sh

Install one of the Ubuntu 20.04 (or newer) flavours on a supported UMPC
device and run the following to inject the required hardware configuration.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/wimpysworld/umpc-ubuntu.git
cd umpc-ubuntu
```

Edit `./umpc-ubuntu.sh` and change `UMPC="gpd-pocket3"` at the top of the script
to match your computer, supported options are: `gpd-pocket`, `gpd-pocket2`,
`gpd-pocket3`, `gpd-p2-max`, `gpd-micropc`, `gpd-win2`, `gpd-win-max` or `topjoy-falcon`.

Then run the script to enable the configuration tweaks.

```bash
sudo ./umpc-ubuntu.sh enable
```

### umpc-ubuntu-respin.sh

```bash
git clone https://github.com/wimpysworld/umpc-ubuntu.git
cd umpc-ubuntu
```

* Download an .iso image for one of the Ubuntu MATE 20.04 (or newer) or one of the other Ubuntu flavours.

```bash
sudo ./umpc-ubuntu-respin.sh -d gpd-pocket ubuntu-mate-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
sudo ./umpc-ubuntu-respin.sh -d gpd-pocket2 ubuntu-mate-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
sudo ./umpc-ubuntu-respin.sh -d gpd-pocket3 ubuntu-mate-21.10-desktop-amd64.iso
sudo ./umpc-ubuntu-respin.sh -d gpd-micropc ubuntu-mate-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
sudo ./umpc-ubuntu-respin.sh -d gpd-p2-max ubuntu-mate-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
sudo ./umpc-ubuntu-respin.sh -d gpd-win2 ubuntu-mate-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
sudo ./umpc-ubuntu-respin.sh -d gpd-win-max ubuntu-mate-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
sudo ./umpc-ubuntu-respin.sh -d topjoy-falcon ubuntu-mate-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
```

A new .iso will be created that includes the additional hardware tweaks required
by the selected UMPC device.

## Accessing boot menus & BIOS

Switch the device on, immediately hold/tap the corresponding key(s).

| Device | BIOS | Boot Menu |
| ------------- | ------------ | ------------ |
| GPD Pocket | `Del` | `Fn` + `F7` |
| GPD Pocket 2 | `Fn` + `F12` | `Fn` + `F12` |
| GPD Pocket 3 | `Fn` + `F7` | `Fn` + `F7` |
| GPD WIN 2(!) | `Del` | `Del` |
| GPD WIN 3(!) | `Del` | `Del` |
| GPD MicroPC | `Del` | `Fn` + `F7` |
| GPD P2 Max | `Fn` + `F7` | `Fn` + `F7` |

| OneMix Yoga 2 | `Fn` + `F7` | `Fn` + `F7` |
| TopJoy Falcon | `Fn` + `F2` | `Fn` + `F12` |

* **GPD WIN 2/3(!)**: Boot it by holding `Del` (Fn+Backspace), navigate to *Save & Exit* and choose the storage device you want to boot from under *Boot Override*
