  Ethernet on Bionic-Mate?
Posted by: zaius - 11-16-2019, 05:53 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (7)

I have a possibly stupid question Blush 

I can't seem to get the Bionic-Mate build (run off SD) to connect to the internet with an Ethernet to USB adapter.  When I was testing internet speeds with Debian, I just plugged it in and it worked with either USB port.  Now I can't seem to get the same adapter to work Bionic-Mate.  I've tried a bunch of settings.  WiFi still works though.  What am I doing wrong?


  3d model files?
Posted by: odinson - 11-16-2019, 03:34 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - No Replies

I'm sorry if I missed this, I did try to look first... I was wondering if there are 3-d model files for the body and/or the body parts? It would make attempting to design 3-d printed mods, cases, etc... a little faster. Specifically I'm attempting to design a skeleton to eliminate the flex in the hollow-ish tapered area of the laptop, down below the keyboard in the trackpad half of the base. This is not my specialty and having a model to start with would help a lot. Thanks.


  3D model of phone or case
Posted by: hnaguski - 11-16-2019, 03:13 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (2)

Hi,

Is there a 3d model or a schematic with measurements of the back case of the PinePhone? I think this would make it way easier to utilize the extra expansion pins on the back of the phone if the community had access to some sort of model so we could design accessories for the phone.


  Pine Phone cases and accessories
Posted by: bcnaz - 11-16-2019, 02:04 PM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (22)

When will we be able to purchase cases and other accessories for our Pine Phones  ?

I remember reading that the proceeds from the cases will go to the community....

The previously mentioned keyboards may be nice for some users.  ?

Some screen protectors would also be  very nice item to have.

*  I realize it may be a while but a projected estimate would be nice.

Personally I would really like a pouch type case,  that goes on the belt.

ADD :

Every 'SMART' phone I have owned so far, has wound up with a cracked or shattered screen....
It is cheaper to replace the phone than have the screen replaced..!
SO Perhaps a Screen Protector should be number one ?
Though my Iphone screen cracked even with the screen protector installed.


  Any advantages to using the mainline kernel
Posted by: dkebler - 11-16-2019, 12:17 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

I have installed the latest ayufuan bionic image with 4.4 kernel on a Rock64

Was thinking of switching to mainline kernel instead of 4.4 which I use on some other sbc's

https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...upgrade.md

In particular I need to support interrupts, pullup/down and epoll.

What if any advantages are there to moving to the mainline kernel??  Especially with regards the gpio buses, DTOs and such.


  Reading the CPU temperature
Posted by: elahav - 11-16-2019, 10:57 AM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (3)

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to read the temperature from the TS-ADC controller. I have configured the various TSADC registers and. as far as I can tell, the relevant clocks are all enabled. Still, any attempt to read TSADC_DATA0 results in 0. Also, if I understand correctly, the value of TSADC_USER_CON shows that the analog-to-digital conversion never finishes.

Here are the values of the various registers that I believe are related to the TSADC:


Code:
CRU_CLKSEL_CON27=1f (DIV=1f SEL=0)
CRU_CLKGATE_CON9=0 (TSADC=0)
CRU_CLKGATE_CON22=0 (PCLK_TSADC=0)
CRU_CLKSEL_CON25=187
CRU_CLKGATE_CON8=0 (PERILP1=0)
GRF_SARADC_TESTBIT=4
GRF_TSADC_TESTBIT_L=80
GRF_TSADC_TESTBIT_H=84
TSADC_USER_CON=1200
TSADC_AUTO_CON=10133
TSADC_AUTO_PERIOD=753
TSADC_AUTO_PERIOD_HT=753
TSADC_HIGHT_INT_DEBOUNCE=4
TSADC_HIGHT_TSHUT_DEBOUNCE=4

Am I missing anything?

Thanks,
--Elad


  Touchpad issues
Posted by: drufusb - 11-16-2019, 12:16 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

Edited:
Issue was fixed using the firmware and instructions form https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8407

-Many thanks to all those who helped.



Hi all, first I want to say I love the build quality of the Pinebook Pro, the key travel is great. In fact I am writing this post using the hardware right now  Big Grin . I do occasionally do get missed key presses as I have seen by other posts, and am very grateful for the work being put into updating the firmware.

My only current major issue is the touchpad, it is almost non-working. Sometimes it thinks I have it pressed when I don't, even when no fingers are touching it, it will click a on-screen button every few seconds with no hands touching it. Other times it will not register clicks or my fingers moving across the surface of the touch area.

I have tried disabling and re-enabling all of the options under Touchpad in the Mouse Preferences, but nothing has improved its ability to function correctly.

For now the only way I have been able to get around this was to plug in an external mouse, which makes navigating GUIs doable.

Is there some way that maybe the touchpad is not calibrated correctly, or a way to calibrate it?

Thank you to all the people that have worked on this project, I have showed it to others I know and one day hope to make this (Pinebook Pro) my personal daily driver.

p.s. I have also seen posts about fingers slightly touching the touchpad when resting palms for typing causing keypress issues and I have specifically tried to touch type keys with nothing touching the touchpad and was still getting very delayed inupt from the keys.


  PSA: PBP Finish Not Tolerant of Lacquer Thinner
Posted by: deviantgnome - 11-16-2019, 12:14 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (7)

Within hours of receiving my PBP the other day, I went to take the little sticker off then clean the residual adhesive with a touch of lacquer thinner (thinking the finish would handle that). Alas, even with a fairly quick wipe, my white paper towel was black. Luckily, the "damage" is only noticeable if you're looking for it.

Also, to be clear, I'm not complaining, just letting everyone know!  Big Grin

Edit: this was on the plastic keyboard deck, not the outer magnesium shell. I haven't hit the shell with any chemicals yet (not that I'm explicitly planning on it Wink )


  Bluetooth Headset
Posted by: Der Geist der Maschine - 11-15-2019, 10:48 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (7)

Anyone succeeded paring their headset (Bose QC 35 etc)? Not me.

[Update Feb 2020: I can pair my Bose QC 35 on Manjaro].


  What other devices can the LCD screen work on?
Posted by: kodachrome - 11-15-2019, 04:35 PM - Forum: LCD and Touch Panel - Replies (1)

It seems like a nice piece of hardware, but I dont need it now with my original Pine64.

What else is it compatible with (and/or touch support too)?
