Gole mini-pc with 5,5 screen integrated... working on FreeBSD !

T

tennea9

Just bought another strange mini-pc.
It can be found under Heigaolapc on Amazon or Gaola1, Higole etc.. there are a lof brands.
Model is Gole01.

It's Intel J4125 inside with eMMC 128GB and 8GB RAM (DDR4)
4 x USB 3
2 x HDMI
1 RJ45 Ethernet
1 Micro SD (not tested)

And it works quite well with FreeBSD 13.2 !

Integrated Wifi is not detected (no bluetooth...) and the screen is not touch-sentitive with freebsd (you have to blug a USB keyboard or USB/bluetooth dongle).
No suspend/resume (doesn't wake up)

Another strange mini stuff.
Here with Slim/XFCE Desktop environnment.

Uuuh, that one seems interesting. However, I couldn't spot it on Amazon (most likely PEBKAC). Would you mind dropping a link?

I really wish we'd get some schematics with these things...
 
SIM card and phone apps are the only things missing ! 😅.. and also a webcam !
It's not very thin.. but it can be transported easily... And there is a battery integrated !

Oh.. the link is only available from amazon.fr

Ah yes, the wonders of the modern retailing combined with the 'modern internet'. Just beautiful.

If you feel like it: Could you add some details regarding battery life during different work loads?
Most likely a pciconf -lv and usbconfig would also be appreciated (just be sure to use [code][/code] formatting)

I guess a hardware probe might also be great: https://bsd-hardware.info
 
Sure !
Let me a few minutes, I'm installing freebsd again (I had already crashed the OS to test other things on it 😅 ).
I sent a hw-probe this morning.
Installation is easy, althought the display can perturb a litlle bit because you don't see anything. (but everything is ok after).

Wifi is not working out of the box. It's not detected during installation, only RJ45.
I also tried with NomadBSD (It's always what I first try), but could not install it on the device with the eMMC.. not working with nomad.
So I directly tried with FreeBSD installer and I could see the eMMC this time.

Installation is almost done (with XFCE).
It's a funny device. I'm not sure it will last 3 years but... I don't know.
Last year, I tested a Chuwi Larkbox X, (the smallest computer) with same J4125.. It works very well with FreeBSD.
I have 2 servers on the larkbox X (a SFTP and a XMPP)... It has been plugged for more than a year now, and it is still perfectly working... so ... I don't know !
Installation is done. I switch the screen to the Gole01 and send you the pciconf
 
So, back on the toy :

I have already sent a hw-probe to bsd-hardware.info
 
I opened it to see : the screen is below the motherboard. I suppose that RAM is also below.
Second picture is during desktop environnment installation

Hello everyone!

I got a larkbox mini-PC. Just installed freebsd14RC4. This machine has two rj45 ports. One is re0 but the other is seams not detected. pciconf -lv shows the re0 and a "none4". What does that mean? And is it possible to solve and get the second port working ?

Thank you!

I've had one of these Gole1 Pro Mini PC's for about two weeks now. It's an interesting little computer. I haven't broken the Win 11 Pro install on it but I did boot it up with a FreeBSD 13.2 Release USB into Live CD and that worked. I am curious to find out how it handles screen rotation and touch screen with FreeBSD running Mate or some other DTE.
