  My Waydroid Manager call for testers / assistance
Posted by: MadameMalady - 07-15-2023, 02:16 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - No Replies

I just pushed an experimental update to My Waydroid Manager that added a Gtk 4.0 / libadwaita ui, along with options to install on Mobian, ubuntu, and manjaro currently.

I'm not a senior developer, so it's kinda hacky, and any help polishing it would be definitely appreciated!

  eMMC upgrade
Posted by: EuvzO8 - 07-15-2023, 02:08 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (5)

Has anyone tried to replace stock eMMC (16Gb or 32Gb) with a bigger eMMC (in a phone repair shop for example)? Is it possible? What models are compatible?


  Lots of problems with pinebuds
Posted by: elix - 07-15-2023, 09:25 AM - Forum: General - Replies (1)

I got my pinebuds yesterday and out of the box they didn't work correctly. They continuously cut out making them unusable. I tried resetting them and they wouldn't even reset. I hit the reset button in the middle, the charging LEDs flash, close the lid and nothing.  

I tried flashing new firmware in a docker on my pinebook pro and couldn't because its not arch64. Which I find ironic that I have to have a windows machine or a different type of computer other than a pine64 product but I digress. 

I'll try it on my desktop later but has anyone else been able to successfully reset them?


  Will sudo pacman -Syu brick the PineTab2?
Posted by: cgbarros - 07-15-2023, 06:21 AM - Forum: PineTab Software - Replies (10)

Right after I got my PineTab2 one of the first things I did was to run a sudo pacman -Syu to update the system. But after that I bricked the thing. Luckily it comes with the UART board and I saw that the kernel wasn't working (I think it was not finding it? Don't remember exactly).

I reinstalled the factory image and it's all good. But now I'm afraid of updating the system again. Is updating everything with pacman like this not recommended? Anyone had the same issue or I just got unlucky that time?


  Access to system directories from flatpak
Posted by: lagrang3 - 07-15-2023, 05:53 AM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (2)

I've started developing an app for the Pinephone, my app would be deployed with a flatpak.
My application needs access to system directories to read the device camera.
Doing some testing I've discovered that a native Pinephone application called megapixels doesn't launch if I package it into a flatpak. The error is related to not being able to read a system directory `/sys/firmware/devicetree/base`
In order to diagnose the problem I've run a python terminal inside the container and I've verified that neither `/sys/firmware` nor `/dev/video*` are visible from within the container:

Code:
mobian@mobian:~$ /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=master --arch=aarch64 --command=python3 com.lagrange.myapp
Python 3.11.4 (main, Jul 13 2023, 12:52:58) [GCC 12.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.listdir('/sys')
['devices', 'dev', 'class', 'bus', 'block']
>>> os.listdir('/dev')
['console', 'ptmx', 'pts', 'shm', 'core', 'fd', 'stderr', 'stdout', 'stdin', 'tty', 'urandom', 'random', 'full', 'zero', 'null']
>>> exit()

they are there, just not visible from the container:

Code:
mobian@mobian:~$ ls /dev/video*
/dev/video0  /dev/video1  /dev/video2  /dev/video3
mobian@mobian:~$ ls /sys
block  bus  class  dev  devices  firmware  fs  kernel  module  power

Even though I've built the flatpak with `"finish-args": ["--filesystem=host", "--filesystem=host-os"]`.
What am I missing?

Any help will be much appreciated.


  Plans for higher Power PinePowers
Posted by: PMARC14 - 07-14-2023, 03:03 PM - Forum: General - Replies (1)

I am new to the community, but I wanted to ask if their was any interest or plans for higher power versions in the PinePowers family, 100 watts or even higher in PD3.1 EPR range. I mostly was thinking about this due to frameworks new laptop seemingly being first to possibly use the full 240 watts of the PD EPR range, but only are shipping with a 180 watt adaptor planned right now. Are their any 240 watt PD 3.1 chip IC's out their as the cables have caught up at least.


  Touch doesnt rotate on Sway in PineTab2
Posted by: cgbarros - 07-14-2023, 01:15 PM - Forum: PineTab Software - Replies (4)

Hello!

I'm experimenting on running sway on PineTab2. My idea would be to use it together with the keyboard attached and sometime detach to read or doing stuff that are not keyboard heavy.

I managed to rotate the screen to landscape mode manually by running:
$ swaymsg output DSI-1 transform 90

This is fine, except that if I try to use the touchscreen it seems like the touch gestures "didn't rotate" together with the screen, i.e., I need to swipe left and right in order to scroll up and down when I'm reading a text.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? What is the KDE WM doing besides just rotating the output to match the gestures?


  Arch with FDE
Posted by: user641 - 07-14-2023, 12:23 AM - Forum: Arch Linux on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Hello, I used arch with FDE in the past with this script https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/ar...-installer
I used to work fine, but I tested a few months ago and could not install anymore, is it working again now?
Another question, how is the support of tow-boot in arch+pinephone?

  Reflashing the allwinner a64 SOC stock firmware?
Posted by: samlo - 07-13-2023, 10:16 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Was curious if there's anyway to reflash the chip inside the pinephone? Even if it's stock, I would like to go through the process of reflashing this chip. Even better if there are updates from sunxi.

I saw this: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...4+firmware

Which points to here:

https://linux-sunxi.org/Pine64#Boot_sequence
https://linux-sunxi.org/BROM#A64

So I'm assuming I can use FEL somehow?

Where do I download the firmware hopefully with a hash to check integrity and what's the process to reflash it?

And a question about Pinephone PRO. It has SPI flash? Does that mean there is no BROM in the allwinner chip? Or is the same, and just boots from SPI instead of emmc?

Thank you.
