Hi. I once used pinebook pro with emmc installed armbian without any problem.

but I actually burn motherboard a littlebit as there was kind of electical fault on charging, so I bought new motherboard for pinebook pro and replaced.

and now, It became never booted.

Once Armbian logo and circle appears, it suddenly stucks after few times of circulation.

A funny thing is that when I re-assemble BURNT mainboard again, it boots normally again.
(Only problem is that I can't charge pbp.)



I even tried to install new OS with microsd, but the result was same.

Manjaro, I could only see the splash logo and never booted.

I think I met a little luck, so I actually once succeed on microsd boot, but that was all.

After first-boot setting up, I couldn't do never boot again.


I think I have received a fault production... right?

Ah, I have re-used eMMC module that I used before.

Hello,

I notice when I run Armbian on Pinebook Pro,  if I'm playing Youtube music and I close the lid, I can still hear the music, I  prefer this.

For Manjaro  KDE I have installed on EMMC right now  when I close the lid,  it seems to shut off.  no music nothing. then when I open the lid,  it does not come back on, i have to press the power button several times to power it back on.

Does anyone know a way I could make manjaro like Armbian where closing the lid does not turn it off? 
To be clear, I don't want it to go to sleep or to shut off. I am testing the speakers and want to be able to Close the lid fully and it still plays music/youtube. This was possible when I had Armbian for PBP installed just normally. but Manjaro behaves differently.


thanks

Hello?  Anyone following this software's forum?

I read something that suggested initramfs isn't used during maemo-lest startup.  Does that sound right to anyone?
Also, would it make sense that a maemo-leste image would create a write protected sector on a microSD card during boot process?
These both seem like incorrect statements, but...whatdoIknow (enough to ask foolish questions).

I'm currently running Manjaro ARM on my Rock64 and I was able to get steam link installed via the AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/steam...aspberrypi, and I changed the architecture in the PKGBUILD file to "aarch64" so it would install.
Steam link installed without any issues after that, however whenever I try to launch it, it says that I need 128MB of video memory in order to run it.
Is there anyway that I can change how much VRAM on the Rock64, like what is possible with a  Raspberry Pi?

Hello,

I have tried both  Armbian 22.11.1 Pinebook pro  image (Nov 30, 2022)     XFCE  and also Gnome. 
Neither of them have working  Bluetooth

I tried for SD card and also  from  EMMC build. Bluetooth does not work. 
I also used  armbian-config  to install bluetooth.

no matter what  is done the Bluetooth Icon will not show in  upper right corner.  and in settings, if you try to enable, it just turns back off.  

Any ideas for what to do to get bluetooth working  in armbian?

I also tried to look for older images , but was unable to find them to see if they would work.

this is an older   Pinebook Pro from march/april 2019 that I just got. 

I know the bluetooth hardware works, because it worked when it had manjaro on it.  I switched to Armbian because I love the Terminator  and all the default settings that Armbian has for terminator. 

thanks

Unable to get default sink : log on outgoing calls- auto disconnect 


Incoming   calls work fine

Any clues ?

On my (and your) Pine Phone the MicroSD card slot is directly above the SIM card slot on the back of the device.  Next to the slot there is a pictogram that shows what card goes where.  The bottom slot is described with "SIM", the top slot is described by "TF".  What is "TF"?  Anyideas?

Hello there,

quick question: Have any of the german Pinephone users received an emergency cell broadcast message?

My phone was silent around eleven o'clock...

Cheers!

I have an early production model PineBook Pro. I have always had problems installing software (mostly won't boot stuff).
I finally got Armbian to work well and used it for awhile. However, one time I did an upgrade it failed to boot (I get Armbian logo and a spinning circle.
I gave up on it and put it on the shelf a year or so ago. Just brought it out again to see if I could revive it or trash it.
I haven't been able to get it to boot from the SD card (this has been a constant problem from the start... I believe it's a problem with early production). I've tried all manner of things but I can't boot anything. Looks like there is a new bootloader Tow but people seem to be having problems with that also.
I was wondering of it would be useful to try to replace the motherboard with a newer version (and hopefully a functional bootloader)?

Hello PINEfriends,

I'm considering designing a stereo audio board for the Quartz64 Model B, and wanted to gauge whether there's any interest in this.

The board would most likely be based around TI's PCM3060 audio codec, as it has good performance and mainline drivers. Additionally, an SPDIF output from the Quartz64 Model B's GPIO header would also be exposed as TOSlink. I also envision there being an external mute control based on the TI TS5A22362 to eliminate any power up/power down popping noises.

So here are a few questions for people to answer:

• If you are a current or prospective owner of a Quartz64 Model B, would you be interested in such a board?
  
• At which price point?
  
• How would you prefer your analog audio output, balanced with a hybrid XLR/6.35mm connector? Or single-ended/unbalanced with 3.5mm or RCA style connector?
  
• Do you want SPDIF as TOSlink or RCA?
  
• Do you need single-ended/unbalanced stereo analog audio input?
  
• What kind of heatsink do you use on your Model B?
