  [Article] PR Test Bot for PinePhone (Avaota-A1 SBC / Apache NuttX RTOS)
Posted by: lupyuen - 03-08-2025, 02:43 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - No Replies

Earlier we created a PR Test Bot that will Build and Test the Pull Requests for Apache NuttX RTOS. Our Test Bot kicks into action when we post a PR Comment...

Code:
  ## For Oz64 SG2000 RISC-V SBC
  @nuttxpr test oz64:nsh

  ## For QEMU Emulator: Arm64 and RISC-V
  @nuttxpr test qemu-armv8a:netnsh
  @nuttxpr test rv-virt:knsh64

Today we extend our Test Bot to Build and Test the Pull Requests for PinePhone. Yep on the Real PinePhone Hardware!

(1) We used Special Hardware: SDWire MicroSD Multiplexer (pic below)

(2) Controlled by a Single-Board Computer: Yuzuki Avaota-A1 (Open Hardware)

(3) PinePhone Test Bot kinda works!

(4) Though PinePhone Battery complicates Hardware Testing

(5) We might pivot to another Arm64 Single-Board Computer

(6) Maybe we'll port NuttX to Allwinner A527 SoC?

Its not rocket science to provide an option \ link to allow users to request their account be deleted.


  On-Screen Keyboard Arrow Keys
Posted by: biketool - 03-04-2025, 03:35 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (10)

With the current Phosh the included on-screen terminal keyboard has changed and while most of the improvements are great where is my unix up-key?
I like to up/down to scroll for my previous inputs. Also what is the left/righ arrow key next to A?


  [Article] StarPro64 EIC7700X RISC-V SBC: Maybe LLM on NPU on NuttX?
Posted by: lupyuen - 03-01-2025, 01:12 PM - Forum: General - Replies (2)

StarPro64 EIC7700X is the (literally) Hot New RISC-V SBC by PINE64. In this article we chat about:

(1) ESWIN EIC7700X, the RISC-V SoC inside StarPro64

(2) Its Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that supports Large Language Models (LLM)

(3) Booting RockOS Linux on StarPro64

(4) Apache NuttX RTOS boots OK on StarPro64 and passes OSTest! (Multiple Harts are a little problematic)

(5) How LLM on NPU on NuttX might work

(6) Beware of Overheating! (Smart Power Plug might help)

  Battery connector dead
Posted by: mdk - 03-01-2025, 11:07 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (2)

Just to see if it happened to someone else: I just broke one of the 4 small golden battery connectors ☹

My battery was a Samsung one, it was a tad too big so it was a bit hard to set and remove, maybe it helped weaken the connectors...

I'm not sure there's an easy fix, that's why I'm asking if it happend to someone else.

If it's dead I'll recycle it as a small home server maybe to try Home Assistant or something Smile


  Battery Management on PinePhonePro:
Posted by: d50zesl0g@mozmail.com - 03-01-2025, 10:42 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (4)

I’ve been experimenting with ways to tweak this. I’ve managed to set up a system where the battery cuts off from charging when it hits a certain point but remains available for discharge down to a lower threshold if the phone needs it.

Here’s how the scripts work under various conditions:

  • Standard Charging: The phone charges to a predetermined upper limit (like 90%) and then stops to prevent battery strain.

  • Continuous Power Supply: If it remains plugged in post-charge, the phone priorities drawing power directly off the charger, sparing the battery , and only use the battery if the power supply is not producing enough juice.

  • Reconnection Nuances: Unplugging and replugging doesn’t immediately resume charging. It waits until the battery drops below a set lower threshold (say, 60%), which helps in maintaining battery health by avoiding short, unnecessary charge cycles.

  • Handling Power Fluctuations: For those times when the power source is unstable or you’re frequently plugging and unplugging, the script ensures that repetitive charging doesn’t kick in unless truly needed.

  • Customization: The thresholds for both the upper and lower limits can be adjusted to fit personal usage patterns and battery longevity goals.


Project Repositories:

    For PinePhonePro: https://github.com/alivellani/manage_pinephone_bat_temp
    Librem 5: https://github.com/alivellani/manage_librem_battery

On the PinePhonePro, managing this is pretty straightforward because the driver includes a ‘charge behavior’ driver that you can manipulate directly. For the PinePhonePro, you can find the charge behaviour control at this path:

/sys/class/power_supply/{battery_type}/charge_behaviour

The Librem 5, however, threw a curveball my way. It doesn’t support modifying charge behavior through the usual driver settings. The workaround I found on the wiki, using the charge LED as a control point. Here’s how I control it:

/sys/class/leds/chg_en/brightness

This lets me toggle the charging on and off

I have attached a Anker Zolo power bank to the back of the phone which keep providing power to the pinephonepro with a velcro tape. And I just charge the power bank.

Heads-up: This setup is still very much DIY. Make sure you really dig into the scripts before deploying them. If your phone turns into Charmander that is all on you!

Cheers!


  New PinePhone Pro. No sudo command or access to root password.
Posted by: DanNewman - 02-27-2025, 12:38 AM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (4)

I recently purchased a new PinePhone Pro and I'm working on getting everything working with my carrier, but I've found that the sudo command appears to be missing entirely and I don't know if there's a default root password set on these when shipped new. I tried the recovery mode process by shutting the phone completely off then holding power and volume up, but the phone will not even turn on when doing this. I'm a Linux professional and I know my way around in bash rather well, but I need to get past this initial hurdle before I can do much of anything.
