  Next round of preorders?
Posted by: ikidd - 09-28-2019, 03:34 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

I'd like to get a few of the PBP for friends and familiy, as I'm slowly converting people to Linux.

Any word on when the next round of orders will be going through?


  Pine64 Installer

I'm guessing "Choose as OS" will let you drag a PBP image file, but "Please select your board" does not list the PBP.


  PBP out of stock?
Posted by: bprentice77 - 09-28-2019, 05:18 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

Is there a date when we'll be able to order a PineBookPro again? Right now the store says out of stock for both EU and US.


  Encrypted disk
Posted by: jpakkane - 09-27-2019, 02:29 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (11)

Has anyone looked into running the pbpro with full disk encryption? It works really nicely on x86, but since the whole boot mechanism is different, there is no guarantee it will work out of the box.

Thanks,


  Any advice for a Linux distribution for Python and data science applications?
Posted by: hugepanic - 09-27-2019, 12:20 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (9)

I would like to get a PinebookPro for data science tasks under linux with python and jupyter notebook.

Are there any troubles I have to expect with this setup? 

Does it matter that the PBP uses a ARM cpu?
Any libraries that will create trouble? 

Or can I just "PIP install" all the stuff I need without much trouble?

Does the Linux distribution matter? 

Thx


  Hibernation (suspend to disk) progress
Posted by: NoraCodes - 09-25-2019, 11:30 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook - Replies (4)

I have spent the last few days working on getting suspend to disk (hibernate) working, to improve battery life, since suspend to RAM does not improve it that much. I have it working now, with one major caveat. I am doing this on Manjaro ARM but the process should be similar on any OS.

First, it is necessary to create a swapfile using normal techniques. Allocate a swapfile (we'll call it /swapfile), set it as swap, and place an entry for it in /etc/fstab.

Create a 4GB file:

Code:
sudo fallocate -l 4G swapfile

Make it a swapfile, make it private to root, and turn it on:
Code:
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo chmod 0600 /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

Then, add it to fstab, with the line "/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0".

Now we need to add the resume hook to the initcpio. In /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, change the HOOKS line to include the hook resume:


Code:
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block resume filesystems keyboard fsck)

Now we need to edit the kernel's command line to include the resume target. First we need the UUID and the offset of the file.

Get the UUID with

Code:
sudo findmnt -no SOURCE,UUID -T /swapfile
And the offset by looking at the first row of sudo filefrag -e /swapfile, looking at the first column marked physical_offset. This tells the kernel where on the given block device to look.

These values need to be put into the kernel command line in /boot/boot.txt like so:


Code:
# Original line
setenv bootargs console=${console} console=tty0 root=PARTUUID=${uuid} rw rootwait
# New line
setenv bootargs console=${console} console=tty0 root=PARTUUID=${uuid} rw rootwait resume=UUID=29a4df6e-1531-4e1b-be79-82bd21f849ff resume_offset=2727936
Then you need to generate a new uboot script by running sudo /boot/mkscr followed by sudo mkinitcpio -P to regenerate the modified initcpio.

Now the machine will hibernate and resume! Try it with systemctl hibernate.

HOWEVER. In my case, when the system resumes, the screen image is as expected, but the screens brightness is at minimum and neither the keyboard or the trackpad work. I have to hard power off the machine and reboot.

If we can solve this problem, Pinebook can have working suspend-to-disk!

  ROCKPro64 5amp PS usable on Pinebook Pro?
Posted by: Arwen - 09-25-2019, 04:56 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

Would the ROCKPro64 5volt, 5amp power supply be uable with the Pinebook Pro?

Mostly seeing if I mis-place my PBP power supply, would I have a backup power supply using one from my ROCKPro64...

Though, now that I think about it, I have a 5v, 3a USB power brick on my desk to charge various portable devices. That might work using a USC-C cable.


  Pinebook battery connector and reuse
Posted by: binholz - 09-25-2019, 03:41 AM - Forum: Pinebook Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

Hello all,

Has anyone reused their pinebook battery for other than powering a pinebook?  Mine is in pieces right now, so I'm looking to reuse the parts I can.  

Is the connector that the pinebook battery uses easy to acquire on Amazon or other sites online?  Would I have to de-solder the connector from the main board?  I tried to plugin a male end of GPIO jumper cable into one female outputs, but the pin is too thick.

The battery meters at around 4 ish volts, so I will need to boost it to 5 volts to run a raspberry pi.

Any thoughts or suggestions?


  Dysfonctionnement du module WiFi / BT - WiFi / BT module malfunction
Posted by: dml-pc - 09-24-2019, 07:05 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

Bonjour ...

J'ai constaté un dysfonctionnement avec un des Pine Rock Pro et le module WiFi / BT.
Sur le premier Pine le module WiFi / BT fonctionne convenablement et lorsque j'installe le même module WiFi / BT (et la même eMMC) sur le second, le module WiFi / BT est bien détecté mais ne fonctionne pas ?

Cordialement.


Hello ...

I noticed a malfunction with one of the Pine Rock Pro and the WiFi / BT module.
On the first Pine the WiFi / BT module works properly and when I install the same WiFi / BT module (and the same eMMC) on the second, the WiFi / BT module is well detected but does not work ?

Best Regards.
