  Rock64 PoE compatbility with Pi4 Hatt recent Single Board Computer offering from PINE
Posted by: kharak - 04-16-2023, 07:40 PM - Forum: Rock64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

Given that the Rock64 PoE is out of stock, I was wondering whether the Raspberry Pi4 PoE Hat is compatible with Rock 64? I thought it was, but am having trouble verifying. 

Incidentally, is there any idea with the Rock64 PoE will be back in stock?

I am aware of "external" PoE splitters, but they are not my first choice.


  Stuck Micro SIM Tray - Pinephone Pro
Posted by: 6zyNTMBKn95A - 04-16-2023, 05:42 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - No Replies

When I got this phone I tried to use a nano to micro sim converter and put the try in wrong side up and could not pull it back out.
I found this video and it worked like a charm to free the try without bending any of the pins or taking the phone apart.

  wwan0 (SIM interface) doesn't work with OpenVPN
Posted by: nickolas - 04-16-2023, 03:34 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (6)

I created my own OpenVPN, it works in Manjaro, in mikrotiks, ASUS router and so on, but I can't use it in Pinephone Pro. The connection is establishing and the route is changing (I see it by mtr) but Firefox (and Chromium) continues using the default route without OpenVPN. I have tried to create the MASQUERADE rule in iptables but nothing was changed. What do I need to do? Did anyone face up the same problem?


Question The Case of the Vanishing EMMC
Posted by: DieSkaarj - 04-16-2023, 02:17 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (9)

Hi all,

Nice to meet you, however I must first apologise and that's not because I'm late to the party but that I'm having trouble with my PPP.

I was distro-hopping and destroied all the data on the EMMC. I had installed Towboot previously and could easily rewrite the device. When I try to get into Mask ROM mode (holding vol. up) the led goes blue for a very short period, as if entering the mode, before changing to red, flashing and while the phone pulses four times.

I can get the PPP into Mask ROM mode by holding RE, it's identified on the bus by lsusb but the device is no longer showing up when probed by 'blkid.' I've tried to boot from sd-card but it doesn't seem to recognise it, I recently replaced the sd-sim slot due to broken pins, so that could be on me.

Any help, guidance or just another opinion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
David


  DC LED light stays on after DC power removed if serial cable is attached
Posted by: tpaul - 04-15-2023, 02:11 PM - Forum: BSD on RockPro64 - No Replies

I've noticed that the DC LED stays illuminated after I've disconnected the DC barrel power completely, but only if the serial port is still attached (just GND, TX, and RX via a USB Serial adapter.)

Are these pins also leaking power as mentioned here for the A64+? I use the EXP pins on my A64+ plus but they are absent on the RockPro64.

I intend to leave a serial connection attached to this board permanently so just want to ensure it's not going to cause damage long-term or if there's any way I can prevent it.


Smile Mobian: squeekboard .yaml location
Posted by: tookmeayear - 04-15-2023, 03:31 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (5)

Greetings, new PPP mobian user here!

I'd like to add a custom keyboard layout to include the Shift Button on my keyboard but I can't find where the .yaml layouts are being saved.
Documentation says ~/.local/share/squeekboard/keyboards/ but I don't see a squeekboard file. Note I don't know much.

I thought maybe squeekboard is not installed and tried to built from git. Got stuck in meson _build. I started to download all dependencies it was asking for. Then it asked for gnome so I thought I am doing something wrong here. I've disabled gnome and enabled phosh back again.

Also, I see a squeekboard file in /usr/bin but can't open it. Is that from my attempt to install it?


A thank you to all the developers.


  Windows not recognizing Pinecil v2 for flashing
Posted by: insightbrewery - 04-14-2023, 03:02 PM - Forum: Pinecil Software - Replies (3)

Hi guys, I got my Pinecil v2 a few days ago; just transplanted the guts into the clear case and thought I'd try updating to the latest firmware. Running into a problem.

I'm running Windows 7 x64 - it won't recognize the Pinecil in flashing mode/won't install a driver. In Device Manager it shows up as "CDC Virtual ComPort" and says device drivers are not installed.

I followed the instructions to the letter: held down the "-" button when connecting and held it for 15s after, along with all the PowerShell and blisp instructions. Executing blisp results in "Device not found". I tried three different cables (one generic, and two Anker USB-A to USB-C. All three work fine flashing my backup TS101) and every USB port on the laptop.

Guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

P.S. When I hook it up without holding "-", it does boot up with the screen active as expected, and Device Manager shows it under USB Controllers as "Unknown Device", but also says "No drivers are installed for this device."


  Wifi doesn't work after update
Posted by: nickolas - 04-14-2023, 06:23 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Hello,

Every time (during the last months) since kernel image 6.1 appeared when I try to update the system from Debian 11 to 12 (Mobian) I can't find wifi adapter and I have to go back to my backup version where everything works. How much time will it take additionally? What do I do wrong? Is there anyone having the same problem?

hi,

since the last commit flahtub (8dc9021ed54dcc035f6fd1429404c58a097e7e535d3f961f5dd31c78e073dde1)

the text of the messages is invisible and when writing a new message.

I was forced to return to the previous commit (907235648f3bc8fe7117c185c7b58061db4c11d823cd16e48cead4240e6403cf)

  Trouble with gnome-screenshot
Posted by: jakfish - 04-11-2023, 07:38 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - No Replies

On Manjaro Phosh Beta 30 and PP Beta, I can install gnome-screenshot, start it, but the actual "Take Screenshot" button is missing and scale-to-fit produces "false" in Terminal.

Any workarounds to this?
