  Ox64 documentation mismatches
Posted by: ukoda - 11-28-2022, 02:43 AM - Forum: General - Replies (1)

Hi guys,
  I am developing a board to use the Ox64 for a commercial application and while mapping out the planned pin usage and creating a KiCAD part I found a mismatch between the four documents I was referencing:

  • PINE64_Ox64-Schematic-202221007.pdf from the wiki.
  • PINE64_Ox64_placement-Bottom-202221007.pdf from the wiki.
  • BL808_DS_en_1.1(open).pdf from the wiki.
  • Ox64 Pin Assignments spreadsheet, probably from the original announcement blog.
The last one can probably be ignored as nothing on it matches anything else but if anyone see it posted anywhere they should probably have it pulled down to avoid confusion.

I have found five issues so far:
  1. Pin 4 on the schematic is labelled as GPIO12 but on the bottom placement is labelled as GP21.
  2. Pin 5 on the schematic is labelled as GPIO13 but on the bottom placement is labelled as GP31.
  3. Pin 6 on the schematic is labelled as GPIO41 but on the bottom placement is labelled as GP14.  There is no GPIO41 pin on the BL808C datasheet.
  4. Pin 7 on the schematic is labelled as GPIO40 but on the bottom placement is labelled as GP4.  There is no GPIO40 pin on the BL808C datasheet.
  5. Pin 12 on the schematic is labelled as GPIO20 but on the bottom placement is labelled as GP2.

I am guessing that:
  1. Pin 4 is actually GPIO12.
  2. Pin 5 is actually GPIO13.
  3. Pin 6 is possibly GPIO5.  Low confidence in this guess.
  4. Pin 7 is possibly GPIO4.  Low confidence in this guess.
  5. Pin 12 is actually GPIO20.

Couldn't find anywhere official to report these issues to so posting here in the hope the right people see this and can update the files on the wiki.

  upgrade problem

Hi, arch/pacman/mankaro noob. When I try to upgrade dostro, software versus pacman, software update center on lower right scroll bar I am always asked to pick betwern two themes. Regardless of which I choose all stops with a pop-up window giving a conflict dependencies between pasma5 themes breTh and breath2? How to fix please? Thank you.


  LTE works, GSM does not
Posted by: NaN INF NaN - 11-27-2022, 06:16 PM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (4)

I'm enjoying SXMO on my new PinePhone (PPHONE-BE2). For the most part, it is working well. When I have LTE reception, calls and data work without problems. However, LTE coverage is still patchy in Germany, UMTS is disabled and 5G is unsupported on PinePhone. So whenever LTE is unavailable, the phone should use GSM and that is not working at all. I have never seen the phone registering successfully in the GSM network of my carrier. Same with the preinstalled Plasma Mobile (in Manjaro ARM I think).

Here is some data that may help with diagnosis.
* Carrier: Congstar (Germany, a brand of Telekom).
* The SIM is old (from around 2008) but GSM works in another phone.
* I flashed an open source firmware onto the modem but had the same problem before doing so.
* Below is the output of mmcli -m 0 and mmcli -m 0 --3gpp-scan --timeout 300 in a spot where I do not have LTE coverage.
* Note that 3gpp-scan finds the GSM network of O2 but not the one of my carrier.
* It also finds the LTE network of my carrier (26201 - TDG) but I think reception is too bad to connect.

Any thoughts on how to fix this? I consider ordering a new SIM. I may also switch to a different carrier, so recommendations for German carriers that work well with PinePhone would be appreciated.

  Interested in a Pinephone, but have some questions
Posted by: jilek - 11-27-2022, 11:01 AM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (8)

Hello! I have an interest in the Pinephone Pro but I'm still curious about a few things.

  1. Is the battery life really so bad that it can't last a whole day? There's no battery upgrade that allows it to last?
  2. I imagine some may frown on the idea, but what is the possibility I can get Android 10 on it? I would idealistically like to use Android 10 as my daily driver, while...
  3. How can I multi-boot the phone? I wish to be able to test out Linux phones and possibly learn to develop on that platform. Idealistically I'd love to have a phone with easy repairability, battery/SD card replacement, a battery that lasts ~a full day, runs Android 10 until Linux phones are comprable, and to test/mess with Linux OS's. My Pixel 3a is very good but I can't upgrade storage, film plus and I don't know how to repair it bee tv.


  Locked Database-->Bricked Device
Posted by: _radv_ - 11-27-2022, 06:45 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (8)

I've been using "Linux version 5.11.3-1-MANJARO-ARM" that came preinstalled on the Pine Phone I got a few weeks ago.
Almost every time I tried to install new software using the "Discover" ap I was getting an error about the package manager failing to update because there was a locked database.  I tried updating using pcman and got the same message about a locked database.  Searching the internet suggested I delete this file:  /var/lib/pacman/db.lck which I did. 
I ran pacman -Syu.  It started working.  There were many notes about keys, but it eventually started updating things.  As that was finishing the terminal disappeared and I got a gigantic message that filled up the entire screen.  Unfortunately, because the phone was stuck in portrait mode (hadn't an option to change it to landscape except for the first few days I used the device) I could only read some words in the middle.  It said something about lock and unlock and a virtual machine.  I got rid of the message by powering down the phone. 
Now, when I turn on the phone, it's stuck at the loading screen (the K with the gear) and nothing else happens.  I'll be glad to hear anyone's thoughts.  I wonder what happened.
I imagine the primary solution is booting some os from the SD card.  It was something I was going to do today or tomorrow anyway.  I hope that works.  I am having some separate problems with the SD card reader.


  Will there be more paying options for Pine64EU?
Posted by: bosi564 - 11-27-2022, 06:18 AM - Forum: General - Replies (4)

The main question is in the title. The story is as follows:

I decided to try the european store and buy a replacement for my PineTime (mine is non-usable, basically e-waste), but I found that the pay must go through a company which I'm unfamiliar with and asks directly for credit/debit card info to transfer money from.

I'm not a fan of PayPal, but there's an additional step of approval at least. And I wasn't interested in trying if everything will work correctly with this new company.

I've donated the money to some open source projects. Well, in the end the money did end up being used to support something, so it's not all bad. But I would like it if more options to pay were added in the future, where the transfer of money doesn't happen automatically without my knowledge and approval on every transfer.


  Firefox causes my pinebook to completely freeze[how to troubleshoot]
Posted by: jcarty - 11-25-2022, 04:08 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (4)

When using firefox if I open some tabs my browser will cause my pinebookpro to freeze and stop responding. The mouse still works but nothing else responds and the only solution is to hold the power button and turn it off.



So far I've tried reinstalling Firefox with sudo pacman -S Firefox. I've found disabling all the plugins doesn't stop it freezing either.

Is there anything I can use or do to find the cause of the freezing?
