Bonjour à tous et à toutes,

en France et à Toulouse, l'association Toulibre organise un événement de deux jours, le Capitole du Libre, autour du logiciel libre et de la culture libre.
Il aura lieu cette année le 18 et 19 novembre et comme à son habitude, dans les locaux de l'école d'ingénieurs INP-ENSEEIHT.
Conférences, ateliers, démonstrations et village associatif sont présents tout au long du week-end.
La présence de la communauté Pine64 dans le village associatif serait intéressante pour présenter les projets en cours et à venir.
Si une conférence en français ou en anglais est possible, ce serait formidable.
Les premiers échanges peuvent s'effectuer via le forum.
A bientôt,

Hello,
I purchased new a Quartz64-b, and eventually found out that the Ethernet is faulty. ...after the 30 days warranty.
(I'm not a complete newb with SBC, but I got it, then ordered a Uart dongle later on, and that took its time to arrive and 30 days later...)

The errors for reference:
[  163.788898] rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet end0: PHY [stmmac-0:01] driver [RTL8211F Gigabit Ethernet] (irq=POLL)
[  164.790182] rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet: Failed to reset the dma
[  164.790836] rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet end0: stmmac_hw_setup: DMA engine initialization failed
[  164.791683] rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet end0: __stmmac_open: Hw setup failed

[  166.513886] rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet: Failed to reset the dma


So, a cautionary tale maybe? What to do?

Either: 1) wait - it may be a firmware issue. It hasn't been confirmed.
            2) repair it somehow? That seems very difficult.
            3) work around it. Wifi is working and a USB Eth --provided its NOT in the USB3 socket.

So, be careful. The quality control may not be there entirely. I don't know.
When you get it in the mail - test it ASAP, but then again you may not know all the faults with the device before the 30days is up .
Would I buy one again? ....probably not.

Apache NuttX RTOS on Star64 JH7110 RISC-V SBC is almost ready! But we're stuck with 16550 UART Controller firing too many Spurious Interrupts.

In this article, we explain…
(1) Why there’s No Console Output from NuttX Apps
(2) How Serial I/O works in NuttX QEMU
(3) How UART I/O differs for Star64 vs QEMU
(4) What’s the RISC-V Platform-Level Interrupt Controller (PLIC)
(5) Why we delegate RISC-V Machine-Mode Interrupts to Supervisor-Mode
(6) How NuttX Star64 handles UART Interrupts
(7) Which leads to a new problem: 16550 UART Controller fires too many Spurious Interrupts!

Hello,

I haven't read anything new about the Pinebook Pro with ISO/UK Layout in the last weeks and the store page still just says "out of stock". Is there planned that the PBP will be available again? Is there a list to preorder for a batch eventually or something like that? Or is the PBP shifting out already and will be replaced by a newer device?

So I unfortunately was one of the people who broke one of the SIM card slot connectors so lte and such doesn’t work or is super spotty at best, anyway I purchased the 3gb ram 32 gb storage for the pine phone but I’ve never seen spare parts become available at this point I’d just buy the PPP if I wanted to use a daily Linux driver. Thank you for any help.

I want my app to make use of custom made symbolic icons for notifications using libnotify; where should I put my icons? are svgs okay? wb a particular naming scheme?
Any help's appreciated!

Hello.

I would like to know what is the maximum amperage of the 4-pin JST-XH connector since I am planning on powering 4 HDDs by means of it as well as whether it is possible to set up a staggered spinup configuration with the LSI SAS 9211-4i host bus adapter.

If the 4-pin JST-XH connector output current allows it, the project would entail splicing together two Pine64 power splitters somewhere between the cable input connector and the (seeming) buck converters.

Any advice on a suitable 230V 50Hz AC/DC PSU would also be appreciated.

Thank you.

Odd PPP boot issue (Explorer Edition, 2022.01.27 - I had to install tow-boot on this one).  

I can pwr+vol.dn to SD when flashed with the tow-boot or mobian installer, but these fail to boot:

Mobian (via installer from SD->SD) (tried twice)
Manjaro (`dd if=manjaro.img of=/dev/mmcblk1` from Mobian on eMMC) (+ read/hash check)

From eMMC, both OS's work fine.  And, I've successfully installed both on SD with PP (OG).  I suspect there's something wrong in the boot sequence.  How might I debug this?

Is it possible to buy Pine64 hardware offline? Like, you go to a physical store, pay in cash, take your order, and that's it. Nobody cares what's your name and address. No delivery, KYC, etc. Shipping company, for example, can mess with the package or damage it.

Is *at least one* of the folowing options possible? It'd be great in the EU store. If not, are there any plans for that?

1. Anonymous orders (in person, or by email, etc.).
2. Cash payments.
3. Personal pickup of orders in the store.

Hello, I recently bought 2 new official pinecile's v2 bl706. One works great, the other a gift simply shows a picture of a nail with with an X thru it, does this via usb-c pd or barrel (both of which work on other unit). Google didnt have anything bout that picture (hard to search for that tho) and I couldn't see anything in forums here about a nail with X. Clearly talking about the tip. Removed it cleaned it, made sure no debri on inside connections. Same thing. Is that a vague generic error picture or hopefully something fairly specific? Any webpage with the error icons explained? DOA seems crazy to me so I'm hopefull its something silly, cannot afford to buy another one. Never did look if a warranty of any kind exists. Thank you in advance.
