Backing up data on Pinephone Pro to hard disk, optical disk and flash?

Backing up to hard disk, bluray/dvd usb, flash?

Hi, I am interested in backing up data to hard drive, optical bluray, dvd and flash? How doable is this on Pinephone Pro.  How to run these devices and power on usb?  Is there software to backup and copy verified and sequential time backups?   Can you backup all the internal data aswell?


Thanks.

  FM? A future new PinePhone?
Posted by: jebez - 06-26-2025, 08:17 AM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (1)

Hi

I recently drowned my Samsung Galaxy Xcover Pro SM-G715FN/DS, the display not works...

Since I've Arch Linux KDE on PC (my config https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?...5#p2221235), I'm interested to the PinePhone Pro with Manjaro (based on Arch Linux) Plasma Mobile.

Is there a FM receiver? https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10863

But the display is 1440x720, I'd like at least 1920x1080.
Also I'd like eSIM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESIM instead of SIM card & its slot.

Will there be a future new PinePhone?

Thanks.


  Clamares password needed with new Mobian installation
Posted by: fauvetan - 06-25-2025, 03:01 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Hello,

I just try to install Mobian on my Pinephone using the dd’s method but when I put the SD card inside the phone and try to boot on it, I get the “Enter disk decryption passphrase” of Clamares. I read that “1234” is the default password, but it doesn’t work. Clamares tell me it’s a wrong password. 

I flashed my sd card many times, trying some tweeks, but the message still the same.


So, what can I do to bypass this situation?
Thank you.


  Pinecil v2 tip screw temperature
Posted by: Minuen - 06-23-2025, 06:38 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinecil - No Replies

I just recently got a Pinecil v2 and I want to make sure that my setup doesn't have issues. The two screws which hold the tip get hot enough to burn me if I brush them while rotating the pinecil during soldering. Do your screws get hot?

Cable: anker 100W silicone usb-c cable https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B093GGNRZM
Charging block: Apple 140W laptop charger https://www.apple.com/ca/shop/product/MW2M3AM/A/140w-usb-c-power-adapter
The device says it's getting a consistent 20V and has never posted a warning.
Firmware: v2.23-rc4
Tip: initially noticed with a ST-KU tip I got off Amazon but the original tip it shipped with also has this issue
Temps: 350-380C used while I was testing using lead free solder

Is this just something I need to be aware of and avoid touching? If so that's fine. If the entire tip is supposed to get hot it would make sense that the screws touching it also get hot.
Some searching suggests that it could be an issue with either my setup or some of the circuitry in the device and I don’t want to damage it. 


  (real) Mainline U-boot finally works on SPI, boots SATA, throw away your SD cards NOW
Posted by: aleksei - 06-21-2025, 06:21 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - No Replies

This is on Arch ARM* or Manjaro installed on RP64. If compiling on amd64 machine, set CROSS_COMPILE variables accordingly.


Build ATF:


Code:
git clone --depth=1 -b v2.13.0 https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware.git
make -j $(nproc) CC=gcc PLAT=rk3399 bl31
Build U-boot:


Code:
git clone --depth=1 -b v2025.04 https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git
export BL31=/path/to/built/bl31.elf
make mrproper && make rockpro64-rk3399_defconfig
make menuconfig
Here are the changed variables in .config, but don't just copy them to your .config - search for them in menuconfig and change there, the menu will take care of dependencies.




Code:
CONFIG_BOOTDELAY=20
CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND="bootflow scan -lbm"
CONFIG_CMD_ERASEENV=y
CONFIG_CMD_NVEDIT_LOAD=y
CONFIG_NO_NET=y
CONFIG_BAUDRATE=115200
CONFIG_USE_PREBOOT=y
CONFIG_PREBOOT="usb start"
CONFIG_PREBOOT_DEFINED=y

make -j $(nproc)
Writing to SD card first to test it (from doc/README.rockchip in U-boot source, "Option 3: Package the image with TPL"):







Code:
dd if=idbloader.img of=/dev/sdX seek=64
dd if=u-boot.itb of=/dev/sdX seek=16384
sync


Flashing to SPI is much simpler nowadays, see doc/board/rockchip/rockchip.rst in U-boot source. Create a partition with FAT filesystem on the same SD card, place u-boot-rockchip-spi.bin on it, reboot, get to U-boot cmdline and:



Code:
sf probe
load mmc 1:1 $kernel_addr_r u-boot-rockchip-spi.bin
sf update $fileaddr 0 $filesize
If sf probe returns an error or booting from SPI fails, short pins 23 and 25 on GPIO to temporarily disable SPI. After booting disconnect them again and erase SPI to at least get SD boot working.




U-boot environment section on SPI might be empty, broken or contain wrong variables. To get default environment for installed version of U-boot, remove situational partitions variable and save the environment to SPI, run in U-boot cmdline:




Code:
env default -a
env delete partitions
env save


Then create EFI partition on SATA disk and proceed like with a regular UEFI machine. U-boot from SPI will also scan SATA partitions for extlinux/extlinux.conf, boot.scr and other U-boot-specific boot configs.



* On Arch, pacman -U these 3 pkgs from Manjaro (choose a mirror close to you) to build ATF:
