hello i recently got my pinecil v2 did the usual stuff checked if its real updated firmware it all worked, then the next day, for some reason it just dosent negotiate, im pretty good with smd soldering so im thinking to replace the cc resistors with some new ones and pray, what should i do?

Hi,
I've some rock64 V2.0 boards . All of them flashed SPI u-boot long time ago with Ayufan script. They worked flawlessly until now that i've tried to update to debian 13. No way to boot installer neither sd card or usb i had to erase spi u-boot to be able boot debian 13 installer. Now i've installed debian 13 but no way to burn any working SPI u-boot. The last ones dont do nothing, any output from serial console and older ones dont let boot debian 13 from sd card with a kernel panic message show in serial console.

I guess there is some issue with SPI u-boot and rock64 V2.0.  Any working updated SPI u-boot in rock64 v2.0 available?
Thanks in avance

Hi Everyone, 
Hope everyone is doing well. I have been away from pinephone for quite a while but starting back with it again. What is the most stable Software out for it? I have noticed that the Pinephone pro is no longer being made. It does not seems like they made it very long. What is everyone thoughts on the future of PinePhone? Does everyone think it has a long and bright future? 

Thank You 
Chris

I'm looking for help determining whether this is a software issue (kernel/device tree/RK817 driver) or a hardware failure before pursuing an RMA.
Hardware

• PineNote v1.2 (Community Edition)
  
• Original factory-installed OS (never replaced or reinstalled)
  
• Current kernel:
  
  Code:

  6.12.11-pinenote-202501281646-00249-g211ba27556cc
• Installed kernel package:
  
  Code:

  linux-image-pinenote-stable 1.7

• OEM USB-A ↔ USB-C cable
  
• USB-A wall charger
  
• USB-A laptop port
  
• 65 W USB-C PD laptop charger
  

• USB is functioning.
  
• External power is detected.
  
• Charger is detected (
  
  Code:

  ONLINE=1
  ).
  
• Battery is detected.
  
• The device boots and runs on external power.
  
• The battery never enters the
  
  Code:

  Charging
  state.
  
• Battery voltage remains below the RK817 minimum threshold (~3.5 V).
  
• The battery never recovers, even after being connected overnight.
  

1. Has anyone seen the RK817 refuse to perform pre-charge when the battery falls below approximately 3.5 V?
   
2. Is there a known device-tree or kernel configuration issue that could prevent pre-charging?
   
3. Is there a way to determine from software whether the battery protection circuit has tripped?
   
4. Are there any additional diagnostics I should collect (debugfs, I2C register dumps, RK817 register reads, etc.)?
   
5. Does this behavior point more toward a failed battery or charging hardware than a software problem?
   

Hello,
While don't get me wrong, the image of the little flower pot is pretty, I would like to be able to do some more unique customizations. Thank you for any help in advance!

If you are using Manjaro on a PinePhone, you might want to look at this alert:

Hi!
A couple weeks ago I was trying to write Tow-Boot to my Pinephone Pro's SPI Flash. It worked once, so I know that the SPI device is connected and functional. However, (unrelated to the Tow-Boot install) I messed up the Manjaro-Phosh installation I had previously installed on the Pinephone pro, so I reinstalled Manjaro-Phosh which removed Tow-Boot from the SPI flash. I tried to rewrite Tow-Boot in the same way as before, but it got stuck and I forced the Pinephone Pro to power-off. I then tried to write Tow-Boot again and I got the following error:

Hi,

I am a happy and daily Pinebook Pro user since may 2021. The last years, I broke the USB-C port, then the keyboard panel at the left hinge.
I decided to replace the motherboard and keyboard panel, ordered the pieces and received them3 days after.

Then I had some free hours yesterday to fix my loved laptop. And I was really pleased by the well written documentation. I followed the section describing the different steps with very clear illustrations.
And in some minutes, I have a almost new shiny laptop.

Everything was immediately working except wifi and bluetooth, because the chips changed (BCM43456 to BCm43455) the new chip is supported by official linux firnware and same for bluetooth.

Very happy user 

Hello,
I'm a complete beginner to this area, but I'm interested in using a Pinecil V2 with wax for jewellery modelling. Before I buy one, I'm wondering whether it's possible to modify it to operate at around 60°C or lower while still maintaining accurate temperature control.

Has anyone tried this, or does anyone have experience using a Pinecil for wax work? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts, recommendations, or any potential limitations before I make a purchase.
