Hello Everybody,

Please don't get mad, but exactly how do I flash my PineTime? I have it here with my Linux computer and my Volla X23 Ubuntu phone and I can't figure out how to flash it. Please help.

  best way to get a stuck sd card out?
Posted by: elix - 03-13-2025, 02:41 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (3)

so i have always had problems with the micro sd card in my pinebook pro.
the micro sd card is now stuck and i wanna switch distros.
i tried the old knife method, etc. but ended up screwing up the outer part of the card.
is my next bet to the case off and get it out that way?
not sure its even safe to use the card at this point.

thanks


  PinePhone Pro disable Volume Buttons when malfunctioning
Posted by: ArchBene - 03-12-2025, 05:51 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Hardware - No Replies

Hi together,

here comes a solution for a problem I had with the PinePhone Pro, hoping that it helps someone else. When I started installing different distributions, there was the same problem all over again. The volume buttons were randomly sending signals to the phone although I didn't press them, constantly changing the volume. This was very annoying as the pop-up message interrupted anything I wanted to do on the phone. After some research I found the following work around. Tested it on Arch with Phosh and on Manjaro with Plasma Mobile, but should work on other distros too. The solution works by unbinding the volume keys from the driver. The volume keys will stop working then, but the power key can still be used normally. Up to now I didn't miss the volume keys, as it can easily be adjusted in the settings. You can find more information about driver unbinding in this article: https://lwn.net/Articles/143397/

First open a terminal and issue the following command to stop the nuisance:

Code:
sudo echo -n "adc-keys" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/adc_keys/unbind

Now to permanently deactivate the volume keys on startup we can create a systemd-service.
All of the following code-snippets should be executed as root-user.
First create the shell-script, for example in /opt or wherever you like to have it:

Code:
cat > /opt/unbind-adc-keys.sh << EOF
#!/bin/bash

echo -n "adc-keys" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/adc_keys/unbind

exit 0

EOF

Don't forget to give execute permissions:

Code:
chmod a+x /opt/unbind-adc-keys.sh

Now create the systemd service unit:

Code:
cat > /etc/systemd/system/unbind-adc-keys.service << EOF
[Unit]
Description=Unbinds the Volume Keys on startup

[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/bash /opt/unbind-adc-keys.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=mulit-user.target

EOF

Now enable the service unit:

Code:
systemctl enable unbind-adc-keys.service

From now on the volume keys should be disabled from startup and you can again enjoy your PPP :-)


  Pinebook pro bricked?
Posted by: michaelmoua - 03-11-2025, 09:04 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

Hello,
my pinebook pro stopped working. When I plug it in, the red light on the connector turns on, but pressing the power button does nothing. Here’s what I’ve tried:

  1. Holding the power button down for over 30 seconds
  2. Bypassing the battery by disconnecting it and bridging the two connectors
  3. Removing the eMMC and attempting to boot from an SD card

None of these solutions have worked, and the power light remains off (neither red nor green). Any assistance would be appreciated!

  Rock Pro 64 Won't power on
Posted by: matthewmkr - 03-11-2025, 03:49 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (9)

My board won't power on. No video. Nothing with serial either. Is this thing bricked, and is there any way to recover it. I've tried the SPI flash from https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...ash-spi.md , but it won't power on, so I doubt it's doing anything.

Tried following this advice as well and still nada https://www.reddit.com/r/PINE64official/...mc_or_usd/

  Pinenote + PinePhone Pro USB-C Docking Bar with USB Keyboard
Posted by: Badgery - 03-10-2025, 12:40 PM - Forum: PineNote Accessories - No Replies

I have a wireless USB keyboard that when connected to the Pinenote via a USB-C adapter works fine, including the trackpad.
The problems is when I connect the keyboard to the Pinenote via a PinePhone Pro USB-C docking bar I get no response. I also tested it with my Android phone, and same thing, recognises the keyboard via adapter but not the docking bar.
I was starting to wonder if it is a faulty docking bar, but when used with my linux laptop running KDE, then the keyboard does work via the docking Bar.
Any idea what could be going on?


  [Article] PR Test Bot for PinePhone (Avaota-A1 SBC / Apache NuttX RTOS)
Posted by: lupyuen - 03-08-2025, 02:43 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - No Replies

Earlier we created a PR Test Bot that will Build and Test the Pull Requests for Apache NuttX RTOS. Our Test Bot kicks into action when we post a PR Comment...

Code:
  ## For Oz64 SG2000 RISC-V SBC
  @nuttxpr test oz64:nsh

  ## For QEMU Emulator: Arm64 and RISC-V
  @nuttxpr test qemu-armv8a:netnsh
  @nuttxpr test rv-virt:knsh64

Today we extend our Test Bot to Build and Test the Pull Requests for PinePhone. Yep on the Real PinePhone Hardware!

(1) We used Special Hardware: SDWire MicroSD Multiplexer (pic below)

(2) Controlled by a Single-Board Computer: Yuzuki Avaota-A1 (Open Hardware)

(3) PinePhone Test Bot kinda works!

(4) Though PinePhone Battery complicates Hardware Testing

(5) We might pivot to another Arm64 Single-Board Computer

(6) Maybe we'll port NuttX to Allwinner A527 SoC?
