  Running Pinebook (non-Pro) without battery?
Posted by: guidol - 11-09-2025, 04:19 AM - Forum: Pinebook Hardware and Accessories - No Replies

After the battery of my Pinebook (non-Pro) 14" had a swollen battery I removed it from the case.
But now it seems that it cant boot completly, becuase when armbian IoT (trixie) does start I firstly get some good startup messages and then it does reset and restart in u-boot ans then try to boot armbian trixie again Sad

My Battery is a WTL-400110175 with 7 cables (3x red (PB+) , 3x black (PB- / GND) and in the middle a white or yellow cable (PCM / Overvoltage?)

Did anyone get the normal Pinebook to boot completly without a battery?
Or has anyone build a "new" battery from the old connector and a new 10.00mAh cell?
Something like this: https://www.n11.com/urun/1260110-37v-100...a-87767963
because I couldnt fine only a new battery far away from me for the Pinbook Pro (also 7 Pin)

Thanks for Info in advance Wink

   

   

   


  No touch KB after update(forky)
Posted by: biketool - 11-09-2025, 03:11 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Like the title says, I ran apt dist-upgrade and now I get no automatic touch keyboard on any app.
I checked that the touch virtual keyboard was enabled in the mobile settings, holding the line on the bottom just caused it to wiggle left and right like a failed login box in some distros.
It will probably be back in a day or two though I don't like being without and would like an easy way to force the touch keyboard.

  What is wrong with the Mobian signature key?
Posted by: Mahgue - 11-08-2025, 05:13 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - No Replies

I downloaded mobian-sunxi-plasma-mobile-13.0.[img.bmap|img.xz|sha256sums|sha256sums.sig] from https://images.mobian.org/sunxi/ and failed to verify the signature.


Code:
LANGUAGE=en gpg --verify mobian-sunxi-plasma-mobile-13.0.sha256sums.sig mobian-sunxi-plasma-mobile-13.0.sha256sums
gpg: Signature made Mo 13 Okt 2025 10:55:36 CEST
gpg:                using RSA key 782C6C58B583FE966CEE44EBF8BDAB78BEE246C2
gpg:                issuer "admin+images@mobian.org"
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key
It seems to be signed with a key as mentioned in https://blog.mobian.org/posts/2025/10/ne...ting-keys/ but I can not get this key from any server.

https://wiki.debian.org/Mobian/Verify still mentions:

Code:
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu ...
which seems to be down since 2023. But trying keyring.debian.org, keys.openpgp.org, keyserver.ubuntu.com, pool.sks-keyservers.net fails too.

Where do I get the key to verify the latest Mobian images for PinePhone (sunxi)?


  compass pdf link expired: VTC AF8133J help
Posted by: WhiteHexagon - 11-06-2025, 02:15 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (4)

I'm working on a custom OS in Zig for the PinePhone v1.2b.  I am struggling to find some documentation on various parts of the hardware.  Today the compass.  I tried the I2C address for the AKM compass, and no response, so I am hoping I have the VTC compass, otherwise my TWI1 code is doing something very wrong Smile

But I dont have the I2C address, and the documentation linked from the component page on the wiki has expired.  Can anyone shed some light on this please.  A good start would be the I2C address, but a copy of the data sheet would be best please.  I am unable to decode linux source tree structure to find this.

Also, are the PinePhone sensors always powered, since DLD01 seems to be used everywhere.  For the LCD and touch I had to switch on some pio pins, but I dont see that on schematics, only EINT pins.  Iḿ worried about power usage from unused sensors.
I am used to following @lupyuen  amazing tutorials, but I think he focuses more on new devices and didnt cover the sensors Sad


  Reinstallation Arch Linux ARM from scratch
Posted by: victor_yeh - 11-05-2025, 11:17 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - No Replies

I have a Pine64 PineTab2 device. I have accidentally destroyed the Linux kernel on it, and there is no way to boot into Linux. However, I can access U-Boot. What should I do to install Arch Linux ARM with U-Boot only?

By the way, I am not familiar to U-Boot commands. Are there any suggestions for installing Arch Linux ARM? (especially U-Boot commands)


  I think you can try compiling the PC version image of OpenHarmonyOS 5 or 5.1
Posted by: wangyukunshan - 11-05-2025, 02:25 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

This newly released operating system outperforms FydeOS's ecosystem with broader support and is specifically designed for low-power PCs.


  kivy app keeping focus whatever other app is displayed
Posted by: JChdeL - 11-04-2025, 04:12 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Hi,
I wrote a Kivy app on my mobian pinephone (phosh). Main screen is just 3 buttons and a label.
If I switch to another app, the touches on the display are still sent to the kivy app. 
Even if the display is turned off, the touches on the black display are sent to the kivy app...
Is that behavior expected?
How to avoid this?
Best,
Jean-Charles

  Pinetab2s running DanctNIX just got Bluetooth!!
Posted by: biketool - 11-02-2025, 04:45 AM - Forum: PineTab Software - No Replies

Now as easy as sudo pacman -Syu
Try it out, Bluetooth is now active for me, paired my BT mouse and it works!

No cameras yet...
I am also trying to get a USB NMEA receiver to work for in-car navigation.
_____________________________

So this will allow use of bluetooth stylus as a touch mouse with left-click now?
If so which styluses are compatible?

is this driver/hardware currently compatible with BT-low energy?
