Hi!

I just purchased a Pinecil and an additional tip. Since the original package of the pinecil is really fine, I was wondering if I could put the additional tip also into the package for safe storage. Since the package has plenty of free space, I cut out the place for the additional tip.

My suggestion: Why not providing the original package with 3 cutouts for the tips, also if only one tip is included? This would be really useful for safely storing all together.

Hi all - hoping someone may be able to shed some light into a solution.  I have a Pinephone Pro connected to an Anker 6-in-1 usb hub.  Intermittent power is being provided through the anker hub.  It will be set up in a remote location to collect some weather data and powered by solar.  My goal is to have the pinephone shut itself down when the battery gets under 50%, then boot back up when power is applied.


The problem: A script can successfully tell the phone to shut down at the specified battery percentage, but the phone will instantaneously reboots as soon as the shutdown process is complete.  This happens when no power is present, but the hub is still plugged in.  I expect this when power is available, but it is a problem that it happens when power is absent as I need the device to shut down to conserve power for bootup.  This seems to happens when any device is plugged into the phone (flash drive, FTDI chip, pinehub, etc).


My theory is that the RK818 PMIC chip is misconfigured and is recognizing the phone's own OTG power as if it were power being passed in.  This then initiates the boot cycle.  Does this make sense?  Can anybody explain what is happening here, and any resolution?  I've seen some threads about a similar issue noted with the keyboard, but none with a resolution to this issue.


I've tried:

  - Mobian, Manjaro, and PostmarketOS and the behavior is consistent across all three.
  - Shutting down OTG power in mobian manually.  Peripherals shut down, but the phone still reboots after shutdown
  - Every type of cable known to humanity between the phone and the hub

I'm not certain of the name or directory for Phosh's custom keystrokes. Can anyone help to track down its location?

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I posted this also on the Fedora forum, see here

I own a Pinephone 64 formerly with PostmarketOS and SXMO installed. I was happy when I read about Fedora Phosh 38 being available so I wanted to install it on my Pinephone. I downloaded the Fedora-Phosh-38-1.6.aarch64.raw.xz file from Fedora Phosh | The Fedora Project. Checksums did match, hence the file didn’t seem to be corrupted or anything. I connected and rebooted my Pinephone (which has TowBoot installed) and tried to write the downloaded file with Balena Etcher onto the eMMC. This left me with the message “Attention Something went wrong. If it is a compressed image, please check that the archive is not corrupted. The elevated process died unexpectedly”.

I then remembered that openSUSE also comes with a raw.xz image, so I checked out their install process, see HCLinePhone - openSUSE Wiki , and it seemed straight forward. I used

Hi,

I recently turned my Pinephone back on with a SIM inserted - it had been last used in 4G mode only for VoLTE test purposes with mobile data off.
This time mobile data was on - I had to disable the still incorrect aeroplane mode - this turned on bluetooth - and I could then access the mobile data setting to turn it off.

I ran updates and rebooted and the same thing happened, the phone restarted with 4G data back on whereas data had been turned off before restarting it.

How come this has changed? How do I disable data at startup? Why are the settings prior to restart / reboot not preserved?

Can't believe the aeroplane mode bug is still present too....

I could find nothing on https://salsa.debian.org/groups/Mobian-team/-/issues
or https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/issues

Curious as to whether or not anyone else has noticed this.

Thanks for your help / feedback.

Hello Everyone! I decided I was going to do the Pine64 logo re-design contest. Here is what I came up with: 
and: 

About The Font:

The only difference from the second picture and the first picture is the font. I did the softer looking font since I saw that the new Pine64 logo was a lot softer than the original logo. I did the more skinnier and serious looking font because it's cool. I think both fonts are good choices. The softer font is good because it more friendly looking, less serious. The skinnier looking font is good, because it just looks really cool. It's also looks more serious than the softer looking font, which isn't necessarily bad. It also looks like since it has color. It's not just plain old black like the old logo. 

About The Light Bulb:

I chose to include a light bulb because the reason that Pine64 has even started and why it continues to happen is because of ideas and Pine64. Here's a questions: Well then why doesn't every company need a light bulb in their logo, since all companies have ideas? The answer to that is that Pine64 is different than many other companies. They take ideas from customers and the community and they consider them. Pine64 makes hardware that lets people put different ideas, I mean OS's on them. They are open to ideas. Many companies aren't open ideas. Hence why it's a good reason to put a light bulb as part of the logo. It actually means something important! Also, the light bulb doesn't look too much different than the original pine cone. The light bulb adds something to the pine cone. I hope that I made it obvious that it's a light bulb. I put some ellipses at the bottom of it to show that it's a light bulb. I also put rays/light coming from the bulb to help show that it's a light bulb. I'm not exactly sure yet, but I think that three rays is a good amount for this logo. If it isn't then I could definitely tweak it some more.

About the "powered by the community" part:

I picked "powered by the community" because it's true and because it sounds cool. Pine64's hardware needs software. Software is very important to their devices (like really important). The community's software powers Pine64's hardware. Therefore, I decided to add that. I think Pine64 should say something about the community in their logo to show gratitude towards the community, which does good amazing things. I saw that the beta Pine64 logo simply says "community", but that could be confusing to customers. For example if a new customer takes a look at the Pine64 website and they find out that the Pinephone software is "made by the community" they might think that the software is made by Pine64 because the beta logo would make it sound like Pine64 is a community of people and that that community of people/Pine64 actually writes the software. Whereas Pine64 is a community of people, but they are not the community that writes the software. I hope that makes sense. Saying that Pine64 is powered by the community would clarify that confusion. Saying "powered by the community" might also help people consider donating to help the community. Lastly, I will say it again that I think Pine64 should say something about the community in their logo, because the community is really important.

Hi
I could not find "post new thread" so I risk the wrath of Khan

I cannot find a real jh7110 data sheet.
By real I mean it lists all the registers of a processor and what they mean.

I can and have downloaded the SiFive data sheet for the U74, but it does not have the pinctrl registers etc.

Somebody has access to the full data sheet showing all the registers for this SOC.
They have ported linux based on this data.

How can lesser mortal get access to this data sheet ?

Thanks

Hello everyone!

That is VOP2 and why it is better than VOP?

I find some information about VOP v1
Can anyone show info about VOP2?

----

According this news VOP2 is used by Rockchip SoCs starting with the RK3566 / RK3568 SoCs.
Do the rk3399 is supported it?


Thanks

Hello All,

Running Mobian 20230416 (but I have the same issue on other builds and other OSs), when enabling the hotspot it appears my provider only uses ipv6. I would like to enable ipv6 connections from MacBook to PinePhone hotspot, but I am unsure how to do that. Has anyone here done that previously?

Background: when using the hotspot I can connect my MacBook (and other devices) to the hotspot, but there is no internet traffic. The symptoms are similar to https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...tspot+ipv6.

Hello
Does someone know, how to use the Pinedisplay on Debian 12?
