Hi there,

I want BLE-MIDI on the PineTime, overall preferred running in InfiniTime, because it seems the only still active OS. And I really like that OS.
I tried a library from Adafruit, with no success. Then I found this: https://novelbits.io/bluetooth-gatt-serv...teristics/ which explains very detailed how everything works, and I can compile it with Segger development tools (almost: There is a known bug in creating the binary, but that's ok, I don't want to stay on Segger anyway). But I can't find out how I could integrate it into InfiniTime. There are so many dependencies. How can one do something like port a new library?


Best regards,
Luno

I got one of the Nexdock things that Purism is selling and I really like it.  I no longer need to tether the phone to a laptop for certain mobile uses - I can simply use the relevant apps and data directly on the phone now.  One odd behavior I am seeing is the screen going black for a couple seconds 2-4 times per minute.  I don't see this behavior when the Nexdock is connected to my Juno tablet (with mobian) so it's apparently not endemic to the dock.

Does anyone else have experience with a Nexdock and Pinephone?  I'd sure like to get some clues to the source of this issue.

Will the PineTav-V use the same chip as the Star64 or a different chip?

Hi everyone,

(I hope I'm posting in the right place. If not, please let me know.)

I have been using PineTime since 2021 and I really like it. I'm absolutely a FOSS-guy who welcomes any open/community-based projects, such as PineTime which is a fully open (hardware and software) and long overdue product in the smartwatch market.

I'm studying Computer Engineering at university. Many of us design a high-level application (Java, Python etc.) or a webpage or something AI related stuff. However, I'm rather a hardware (IoT/embedded systems) -oriented person, and that's why many people think i'm crazy when I say: "I loved my Assembly programming course"

To be honest, when I bought my first PineTime, I ordered a twin pack (sealed and devkit), because I knew that I would like to modify/hack/develop my watch in the future. And now it seems like a good idea to deal with PineTime because it perfectly fits my studies and who knows... maybe that could be even a great theme for my thesis. Moreover, it would be a great adventure (doing it for fun).

I'm planning to create a new (very basic) firmware from scratch. I mean that would be an independent and separate project from InfiniTime / Wasp-OS or other relevant PineTime related firmwares, although it would rely on some third party libraries (such as LVGL or FreeRTOS) and it would use existing projects (mostly InfiniTime) as a reference.


Initial (essential) objectives:

• display time without any smart capabilities (e.g. Bluetooth synchronization)
  

• Bluetooth implementation
  
• Heart rate measuring
  
• Step counting
  
• Built-in apps
  
• ...
  

Just bought a board (in India), have tried various images on pine site and different power supplies and SD cards the board always gets stuck on

U-Boot SPL 2022.04 (Mar 01 2023 - 00:14:33 +00000)
DRAM:

it never goes past DRAM:

the date after SPL changes with different images but it's stuck on DRAM:

once in a while it give this message once , restarts and gets stuck on DRAM again:

DRAM: This DRAM setup is currently not supported.

From looking at the specification, it seems the StarFive JH7110 is weaker than the Rockchip RK3399 but has more L2 cache. In performance I imagine the star64 will be slightly stronger than a RK3399 based device with its a72 cores disabled, in the case of pine64 hardware, only better because of the 8gb of ram?

Comparing GPUs, weaker but support for newer standards?

Do you agree? Difficult to benchmark, perhaps need the 4gb star and 4gb rock to go head to head.

What OS is primarily being worked on for the PineTab-V?  Also, is there a channel for RISC-V development?  I would be interested in helping.

this is little bit offtopic of pine forums, but i think it interests some users. other kind of 2fa/mfa.

because of possible privacy issues, data collection and locking to close platforms, like google play and apple store, i don't usually like 2fa or mfa. two-factor-authentication or multi-factor-authentication is additional required policy for many services to getting in.

i found by coincidence a reasonable alternative, which can be used for 2fa/mfa systems. essentially, it has no privacy or data collection issues (assuming of usage). it is totp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based...e_password . it is based on time and correct timezone.

i initiated this on some services already, but i don't name those here, because of advertising. quite often, it is called an "authenticator app".

also hardware based totp devices are available, but might be cumbersome to be activated for service.

in debian, there is a package "oathtool". which can used by following, note -b is for base32.

Hello,

I am new to Linux (except Ubuntu) and to this forum; my PinePhone is my first "smart" phone (at age 70!) so my questions will likely be elementary.  Thanks for your patience.

My problem is that the virtual keys don't produce audible tones when touched so that I can't use it for automated phone systems ("Press 1 Now" for example).  I've looked everywhere I can think of in Settings including Sound, Tweaks, Mobile Settings and Keyboard to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. The application is 'Calls'.
