Hello,
Is there any chance for the wifi to work with iwd instead o? with connman ?
So far I got an input/output error, then I wonder if there is any specific patch or configuration to work with NetworkManager/wpa_supplicant.

I've finally gotten around again to fiddling w the pine phone I bought a few years ago. I dd'd the postmarketos img to a microsd and booted the OS that way. Looks nice and runs fairly well. So I'd like to install it to the internal emmc.
I guess I'm kinda surprised that there seems to be no way to do this from the OS I booted to from the microsd. Am I missing something, or is there really no way to install/flash from it?
I found what seems to be a good online guide for an install at https://bloggerbust.ca/post/install_and_...pinephone/ but it seems kinda ridiculously complicated. I've installed many OS's on pc's and flashed a number of routers in my day in addition to having a couple decades' experience running Linux so I'm sure I could manage this using those instructions. But honestly I'm hoping there's a simpler way.
I recall reading that someone has created an sd image with mutliple operating systems to try on this phone. It's a bit dated now though. But I seem to recall having read that one can, using that sd, install/flash the booted image to the internal emmc. Is that correct? If so, I'd prolly give that a try. Unless someone can clue me in as to a way I might've overlooked of installing/flashing from the postmarketos rom I've got running from microsd now.
Thanks

Every few weeks after an apt update the wake/sleep button does not work, the next update usually fixes it but still would like to have a hand fix ready to go as it is such a frequent problem.
If anyone knows the /dev that is attached to this switch as well as the place it is communicating with the os.
when the button is broken in OS I cant just look in journalctl and dmesg -w as itis not triggering(I looked)
How to trigger a wake event form CLI/SSH? One trick is often plugging in USB power or unplugging usually gets me the login screen;
Since I am mostly in home office I can just keep the sleep turned off with the caffeine button and wait for the next update but that wont work if I have to go mobile.

| Logging modem dialout attempts |

My Pinephone Pro running Trixie is able to do everything normally re:modem except successfully dial out, that includes taking incoming phone calls.
I am not sure where the logging is kept to look for errors etc when accessing the modem in order to troubleshoot the issue, possibly also need to look at logs inside the modem module OS.
Has anyone else had this issue in the current trixie since middle of last week?
The SIM dials out successfully in a 4g dumb Nokia.

Hi@all
I have a rockpro64 V2.1 board with no reaction. Neither serial output, nor any blinking leds after power on. Now i want to flash the u-boot to to the spi chip for trying to boot from usb. Unfortunatley, the sd- and the emmc ports are not available, fixed with glue. (the rockpro is build in a test equipment for cars, bought 4 years ago from my cousin for about 4000 euros, these days was the first try, but this thing is dead, warranty is over and repair from the reseller is not possible)
Is there a way to flash the spi in circuit with the available *-img files? I can read and write the spi chip with my raspberry, but i can´t find a rom file, only img files..
thanks, wofei

| Possible solution to boot and/or eMMC failures |

After attempting to flash an image to the eMMC, my Pinetab 2 would not boot from the eMMC, and when I booted from the SD card, I saw an error similar to the following
Code: mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising MMC card
I tried flashing the eMMC with the factory image multiple times, but none of the attempts succeeded.
Based on my experience with Xilinx SoCs, I suspected an issue with the SD Host Controller (SDHC). I poked at some of the internal registers on the SDHC in U-Boot, but while I noticed some possible patterns, I couldn't pinpoint a definitive issue or find any magical reset sequence that fixed the issue. I was able to observe that some of the low-level SD commands were timing out due to lack of response. Off a hunch, I removed the back cover and disconnected the battery cable form the main board (I also disconnected the other connectors so I could examine the main board, but given that both the SDHC and the eMMC are located on the main board, I wouldn't expect the removal of any of these to have an impact). When I reinserted the cable and booted the Pinetab 2 I was able to write an image to the eMMC and subsequently boot from the eMMC. My theory is that the SD/MMC/eMMC state machine in the SDHC was somehow corrupted, leaving it unable to enter a state where it could respond to commands; I suspect that fully de-energizing and re-energizing the circuit caused it to go into reset, getting it back on an operational path. It's possible the issue is with the eMMC chip instead of the SDHC, but my knowledge of SD/MMC standards and implementation is limited and I was unable to find substantial documentation on the eMMC chip. As a caveat, I have not had the time to attempt to reproduce the issue or my solution, so it's possible my observation and solution were subject to confounding factors I didn't test for. (Time aside, I damaged the microSD card reader while attempting to reseat the back cover, so I would need to get USB booting to work in order to be able to effectively run tests.)
Hopefully, this is helpful to someone.

You may not know yet, but the Mobian Clone, which is without SystemD, has been released. It uses Devuan Linux as the basis.
Release v 0.0.0.2 comes with an attached image that can be burned to your bootable SD card straight for the PinePhone.
Code: https://gitlab.com/l2385/movuan/movuan-recipes/-/releases
If you would like to test/use it in a VM, on a laptop, or on other compatible phones, you will however have to build it yourselves.
Code: https://gitlab.com/l2385/movuan/movuan-recipes
.
.
.
On gitlab they have limited free storage space, hence providing a single image in a split zip archive. They also have free compute minutes monthly, that are almost enough to build one Movuan image monthly. Everything important is written on the project pages.
Yes, you can try it.
