  Sound on Armbian
Posted by: Bram - 03-15-2023, 02:41 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

After trying DietPi and Manjaro, I've found that Armbian has been working best for me, with a working sleep and wake, e.g. But I have been unable to get sound from it.

Code:
$ sudo inxi -A
Audio:
  Device-1: simple-audio-card driver: asoc_simple_card
  Device-2: simple-audio-card driver: N/A
  Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k6.1.11-rockchip64 running: yes
  Sound Server-2: PulseAudio v: 15.99.1 running: yes
  Sound Server-3: PipeWire v: 0.3.48 running: yes

I know the speaker itself works physically, because I did have sound under Manjaro.

Does anyone know what could be going wrong with sound in Armbian?


  QuartzPro64 SPI flash

Does the QuartzPro64 have an on-board SPI flash? If so, what is the model of the chip?


  Mobian USB transfer
Posted by: captainmorgan - 03-14-2023, 04:41 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (2)

How can I transfer a file to my PinePhone Pro running Mobian over USB?

I am reading this article which tells me to download and install some wifi drivers. It says if I have lost network (which I appear to have) then download the files on a computer and transfer them to the PPP over USB. But that doesn't appear to be possible.


Question Pinecil v2 power cycles at higher voltages?
Posted by: clemon79 - 03-14-2023, 03:10 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinecil - Replies (3)

Just got a v2, and love it. When I run it off of a 20w USB power supply at 9v (over USB-C) or 12v (with USB-C to DC), it runs fine. However, I have two USB power supplies that it can negotiate 20v with (with the DC cable, natch). One of them is a 100w, so it negotiates 20v/5a, and works fine. The other one is a 65w, so it negotiates 20v/3.25a, and once I hit the + to start it warming up, it blinks just for a second, power cycles, and dumps me back to the main menu. 

Seeing as it runs fine negotiating 9v/2a on a 20w channel, and 20w/5a on a 100w channel, I'm not sure why it's choking on 20v/3.25a. This is on the latest stable IronOS firmware, v2.20, with no changes to default settings other than fast scrolling and blinking temp during cooldown. Any ideas?


  When does Pinebook Pro power LED go on?
Posted by: Bram - 03-14-2023, 09:53 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

I inherited a broken pinebook pro with this backstory:

I fired up my Pinebook Pro after having it on the shelf for 2 years. It won’t boot (infinite load graphic), so I tried to reinstall Manjaro Linux on it.  The microsd was very janky.  I opened it up to toggle the emmc switch so it would boot and now it won’t turn on.

The manual has an entry on this troubleshooting, and mentions pressing RESET which did not help.

There is nothing when power on. All LEDs are off, except the charge port LED.

What I tried:

* reset button
* re-enabling eMMC: device turns on, but stuck in infinite boot spinner. Alt-F2 shows empty text screen.
* disconnecting battery, using bypass cable.
* measured barrelplug voltage at 5.4V


Which takes me to my question:

Is the power LED supposed to light up when the device is switched on, with eMMC disabled? Or does the software on the SD card actually have to do this? So far, I tried to turn it on with no SD card seated.


Ok, this should be in the manual:

The LED is not a power LED, it is a status LED set by either bootloader or OS.

If there is no SD card present, and no eMMC, then powering on the device will show nothing.

Hi all,

I'm using Puremaps software with GPS.

What can be a way to solve it ?

A user puremaps on IRC adviced me to install and launch Sattelite from flathub before launch Puremaps.

Thanks a lot

Exclamation Stuck at Infinitime Logo with 18% battery on full charge?
Posted by: PiningFjord - 03-13-2023, 03:25 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (1)

Hi! Long time PineTime user since 2020, and I've run into a problem that I haven't seen before.

I left my watch to charge in its cradle last night, and I put it on this morning with a full charge. Then I put the watch in my pocket to wash a few things. When I took it back out I noticed it was now on the Infinitime screen with the two triangles, I thought maybe it got bumped somehow and tried holding it down to reset it, still boots to the Infinitime screen. I also tried booting into blue and red modes, and it's still stuck on the same screen. I've tried flashing the firmware using NRFConnect and Gadgetbridge, but even though the device is connected to the phone over bluetooth it will disconnect when trying to update or downgrade the firmware. What's really strange is the PineTime is showing a battery percentage of 18% consistently, when I know it was at 100% before taking it off. Huh The battery should be ok, I've used it for a week before having to recharge it.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Other than this issue the watch has been very reliable. I'm currently running 1.11 "Red Nectarine".


  Rockpro64 Dead on arrival?
Posted by: quixoticgeek - 03-12-2023, 01:07 PM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - Replies (1)

I have a new rockpro64 board, I've installed it in the NAS case with a heatsink, and case fan. Connecting network, hdmi, keyboard, and power, I get a green LED next to the power connector. Then nothing else. Pressing the power button does nothing. Pressing and holding the power button does nothing. I Have a green light on the Ethernet port, and the orange light of the Ethernet port flashes. But no white or red led by the power button. HDMI remains blank. Keyboard does not respond to input (no capslock light). 

I've tried both Debian, and Armbian on the micro sd card. With the same result. 

Am I doing something wrong, or is my board faulty? 

Thanks

J


  Modem gets disabled on every suspend
Posted by: jojuma - 03-12-2023, 12:57 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (5)

Hello,

I am running KDE (Manjaro + Plasma Mobile) on my Pinephone and I tried everything now to make the modem run properly.
Based on the information of Biktorgj (the-modem-distro) I updated to the newest firmware, I flashed the custom firmware and made the recommended settings. I flashed the recovery. No matter, which firmware is running, on boot and on every suspend (screen goes off after few minutes), the modem gets disabled as the status in 'mmcli -m any' shows. I have to enable it ('mmcli -m any -e') every time I take the pinephone in my hand.
Currently I have the custom firmware installed again and made the settings. The behaviour stays as described.

Is there any advice on this, anything I can try?
