Hello PINE64 community,

I see that making a purchase to the US is still charging the full $25 shipping, noting coverage for tariffs, and the amount has not changed since the US Supreme Court decision to suspend specific tariffs in February.  I just wanted to ask if there are any plans to update this cost to reflect the new tariff situation, or if this cost is expected to remain the same?

Thank you for developing and selling awesome open-source hardware :)

Hi,i noticed that there have been no new product releases in the past two years. May I ask what the reason is?

Hey hey. Can I use a car battery for power for the Pinecil v2? A starter battery to be precise.

I have installed RISC OS on Linux on PineTab2 (also on PinePhone with Mobian). Is not an Emulator, is an executable. So it is very fast with the access of the hardware like WLAN etc. The screenshot are my own settings.



You can download from PyraDirect . The collection I have made for the Pyra handheld based on ROD's PiDirect but works fine on PineTab.

It need base-devel as dependencies (e.g. sudo pacman -Sy base-devel)

Unpack the download in Terminal with

tar —xattrs -xvf Downloads/pyra_direct.tar.gz

to your home directory. It takes a while.

Then in Terminal…

Dir RISC_OS

./run_RISC_OS

The first start takes a bit longer.

I have perform a system upgrade/actualization and it fails. It looks like all is working fine but after restart it ends in a endless loop. Enter the GUI is no longer possible.
With CTRL+ALT+F2 I can enter the Terminal. My account is working but no network and "startx" fails.

I have try to install the available actualization in discovery and later, after a "factory reset", in terminal "sudo pacman -Syu". All the same.
After the actualization e.g. freecad, musescore are working (before only installing possible) but after a restart... next "factory reset".

Any ideas?

My PBP broke due to stiff hinges. I have replaced the Palm case, released the stiff hinge and transplanted all contents.

But the PBP now will not switch on. I have checked all connections, ribbons etc. All look OK.

Can anyone help me with tests to find the problem? Email would be very useful.

Minimal community edition of Armbian to run a minimal OS, podman and OpenClaw

(Just wanted to share my recent success)



Downloaded community rolling release minimal Arabian image from:

https://www.armbian.com/rock64/

Etchered onto 4Gb SD-Card.



Booted, user:root pass:1234

Added ssh key, disable root password.

Ran the armbian-update



$> sudo apt-get install f2fs-tools

$> armbian-config (transfer os to internal emmc 

(this worked like a charm, uses f2fs and leave /boot as ext)



$>  sudo apt-get install git

$>  sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https



Using podman required the following dependencies:

$> apt install uidmap

$> apt install nftables

$> apt install catatonit

$> apt install passt

$> apt install podman

$> apt install podman-compose



$> git clone --depth 10 https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw



$> # tmp isn’t big enough for the next steps

$> mount -o remount,size=2600M /tmp



$> cd openclaw

$> ./setup-podman.sh --quadlet

$> sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user start openclaw.service

However, I struggled to access logs of what was going on inside podman.

Hello ,

hjae installed Devuan 5/6 on a newly acquired RockPro64 -
very pleased overall with the system

https://devuan.bio.lmu.de/devuan/dists/d...rd-images/
https://devuan.bio.lmu.de/devuan/dists/e...ard-images

however iam missing out on resolutions,
since xrandr is reporting only resolutions on 16:9 format, however my monitor are mostly in 16:10;

do i need additional driver or firmware?

devuan is a derivative of debian, so devuan 5 iscorresponding to debian 12
devuan 6 to debian 13 trixie roughly.



thank you very much.

Hello all. I'm thinking about following option:

connect one 2.5" HDD to a USB3.0 port and second HDD to a USB-C port. Can be both powered on simultaneoulsy only from USB?
If I transfer data from one disk to another will the data transfer be too slow because both disk are on the same USB3 controller?

What if I connect the second disk to a USB2 port?

Only one disk will be working 24/7. The other one will only be turned on for weekly backups.

I'm looking to add my pine64 to a din rail and am wondering what the dimensions are for the mounting holes and a) does a horizontal din mount exist and b) are the mount holes the same dimensions as any 3d printer boards.
