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?

Anyone else have a dead desktop 120W power supply?  It would occassionally flicker when I first got it, but seemed stable enough (dumb, I know).  Now its just kaput.

I dont know if anyone has had one die and got it back running again?  I love the little unit was great for my Pinebook and Pi/Arduinos.

Wondering if I just got a bad unit that I should have returned?  or worth fixing?

Thank!

Your wiki has been vandalized and I don't know how or if I am allowed to edit it. I'll link the page but be warned it has racial slurs. Please someone let them know. I just started googling and I don't know who to reach out to.

Hello

I'm trying to use the GPIOs on the Ayufan Ubuntu Build (bionic-mate-rockpro64-0.9.14-1159-armhf), but can't seem to get it working.
Apperently the libgpiod uses /dev/Gpiochip0, which is not on this version.

Problem is, that i have to use a Desktop Image, which supports the Pine Touchdisplay, for the Rest of the Program, and i can't seem to get the other Versions (like focal-mate-rockpro64-0.10.12-1184-armhf) running. 

So is there a way to use the GPIO pins on the 0.9.14 Version?

now that the star64 can be ordered from time to time: are there any bootable linux images around somewhere? are there any u-boot and sbi trees around somewhere? to me it looks like the software support state currently is the same as for the pinetab v: you basically buy a brick as there is no software around for it at all - at least i was not able to find anything or any information anywhere. the only thing i was able to find was the icenowy star64 kernel tree with the last commit from january of this year. and while i'm at the star64: how about an own forum section for it now that it is out?

a lot of thanks in advance and best wishes - hexdump

These are the rough steps I took to get where I am:

1. Started with Manjaro working fine from eMMC
2. Installed NVME disk
3. Copied eMMC to NVME (using dd)
4. Installed tow boot to SPI
5. Booted, interrupted boot and chose NVME

This worked. However, now I want to boot from eMMC again. I rebooted and chose the eMMC option in tow boot, but it doesn't work.

I now have /boot mounted from the eMMC and / mounted from the NVME.

I used blkid and noticed that the UUID for my eMMC partitions and my NVME partitions are the same (because they would be, I copied form eMMC to NVME) and I assume this has something to do with my problem.

What should I do to boot from eMMC where / is also mounted from the eMMC?

I have thought of:

1. Physically removing the NVME disk
2. Using dd to wipe out the NVME disk

But I'll wait for an answer.

(I booted Fedora on a MicroSD to type this, this works fine.)

Thanks.
