Hi everyone!

After 2 years in my drawner, I decided to revive my Pinebook Pro. I wanted to use it to watch Youtube video, Spotify and my Plex media when in the bedroom (don't have any TV there).

So, I downloaded the latest Pinebook Pro image from Manjaro (Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-pbpro-23.02) and reinstalled the whole laptop.

Saddly, I found out that this version has some problems that previous one didn't had :
- When put to sleep, the computer don't come back on. Must force poweroff
- Wifi stop working on reboot. Needs poweroff/poweron
- Videos are sluggish on Youtube

So, I decided to try a previous ISO I had (Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-pbpro-21.12) and I have none of theses problem with the Pineboook Pro!

But I have, then, another problem : completly unable to update anything! I always get PGP error. I tried to :
pacman-mirrors -f5
pacman -Syy manjaro-keyring archlinux-keyring

None of them fiex my PGP problem.

So ...

how can I use the old version and update it correctly OR how can I use the new one and get by the old stability (sleep, wifi, video accelaration) ?

My understanting of Linux is not good enough for me here.

Thanks in advance for you help!

I see there are Android images here https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/ROCKPro64_S...es#Android
But I don't have a LCD screen. Anyway I can use it without one ? I wish to control it from my PC, through scrcpy program. But this program need Android to enable usb debugging. Which again need LCD to enable manually.

How can I make my watch vibrate using Python from a Raspberry Pi?

Ox64 has single 64-bit 480MHz RV64 C906 core and two 32-bit 320MHz RV32 E907 + 150MHz E902 cores
How multi core run simultaneously

The Pinephone Pro with a Rockchip RK3399S CPU includes a 3.0 TOPS Neural Processing Unit.
I assume it is a massively multi-threaded ASIC processor similar to a GPU without graphics specific circuitry on the die.
Do we have any software or the required drivers to utilize this hardware?
Other than jankey code what is this useful for?

Hi all,

I'd like to be able to boot my Pinephone using FEL boot without using the SD card. I've had success doing this for a Banana Pi, and a Pine64, so I would like to maybe make this an option for the pinephone as well.

Has anyone figured out which testpoint is the FEL boot pin on the 1.2 board? Did we ever get a proper layout for the 1.2 board?

Thanks!

I have Rock64 Ver.2 - 1gb model.
 
Was working fine with Armbian 24.5.0-trunk.211_Rock64_bookworm_current_6.6.21 - boot from micro SD card

On SSH, I updated to latest version Armbian_25.2.1_Rock64_bookworm_current_6.12.13. Now it does not boot from micro SD card.

I had another micro sd card. I flashed new Armbian_25.2.1_Rock64_bookworm_current_6.12.13 - does not boot.

I had another micro sd card. I flashed OLD Armbian 24.5.0-trunk.211_Rock64_bookworm_current_6.6.21 - it boots. Then updated to latest Armbian & does not boot anymore.

Looks like some " Flashing_u-boot_to_SPI_Flash " - problem.

Please help.

Thanks in advanced

Hello all, I just received my PineNote - which, blew my expectations away.  I think this is the device I've been craving for a long time to be just about a daily driver, which was not the plan at all, but I love the simplicity and flexibility it offers.  Perfect form factor for what I need, and it may end up saving my degrading eyesight (screen detox in my near future).

However, I have not seen any posts regarding successful or unsuccessful recording of audio - I just tried the sound recorder for one of my use cases, and it results in only a slight buzzing audio recording, though the functionality seems to work.  I have not dug into the config, but everything else worked right out of the box (mostly, except for that lib64 updating issue), so I was a little surprised by this.  I did verify that the internal mic was selected as the input (there were no other options), but did not look into drivers, logs, or anything like that, mostly due to lack of time to devote to it at the time.  Should have more time next week to do so...

Hoping it's not a hardware issue (and if it is, hoping it's something I can potentially fix myself?), and/or that some of the more refined Linux/embedded/etc. users here can help point me in a starting direction (or if anyone can also do a test to help confirm it's just my device, and not a bug).


Thanks!
