  Cannot Boot From SD Card
Posted by: xp19375 - 10-28-2022, 06:06 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (4)

I recently got a PineBook Pro and wanted to try a different OS.  I downloaded and flashed Armbian and TwisterOS images to micro SD cards, but I cannot boot from them.  When I power on the PB with the micro SD card inserted, the screen is blank and the power light blinks about once per second.  Is there something else I need to do to?  I feel like there's something obvious I am missing.


Sad Modem is always visible/connected but stops working after a while
Posted by: dante404 - 10-27-2022, 02:16 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (6)

Hello,

my Mobian-PinePhone has a new and very serious issue since a few days Sad :
After a reboot the modem (sms, calling, mobile data) works for a while, but soon (after the phone goes to sleep I guess?) the modem completely stops working.
Very strange: It is still visible in the phosh top bar (with signal strength, settings and in modem manager! It's not 'gone', it's just not working/doing anything. Sad

Never read anything about this specific problem.
Do you think this is a hardware or a Mobian issue? Sad

Best Regards,
dante404

I have been unable to get the hardware to detect the module since march, possibly could it be the firmware or the board bad? I have a 3gb Convergence model


  Sound completely gone with Mobian in Phone Call configuration
Posted by: EwigeBlumenkraft - 10-27-2022, 01:35 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (2)

Since a few weeks I have problems again with call audio in Mobian. I don't use my PPP for calls often so I cannot say when the problem started.

In the settings app the sound test works fine in the "Default" configuration but fails to play any sound when set to "Phone call".

I have flashed the current weekly image and had the same problem there. So no funny configs on my side I guess.
Also I tried restarting pulseaudio, pipewire etc. as was mentioned in other threads.


  GStreamer Camera Issue (Unsupported pixformat: 0x56595559 with mbus code: 0x3001)
Posted by: sog8b - 10-26-2022, 07:50 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Hey Everyone,

I've been trying to use gstreamer to access the camera on my pinephone.
I am running the mobian image mobian-pinephone-phosh-20221016.img.gz with all updates applied.

I first ran into the issue "does not support 2:0:0:0 colorimetry" as detailed on the following thread.
https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues/-/issues/439

I first applied the patch to not bother checking the colorspace and rebuilt libgstvideo4linux2.so.

Code:
diff --git a/sys/v4l2/gstv4l2object.c b/sys/v4l2/gstv4l2object.c
index 9851ffc83..72a5eb33b 100644
--- a/sys/v4l2/gstv4l2object.c
+++ b/sys/v4l2/gstv4l2object.c
@@ -3840,7 +3840,9 @@ gst_v4l2_object_set_format_full (GstV4l2Object * v4l2object, GstCaps\
* caps,
      gst_structure_remove_field (s, "interlace-mode");
  }

-  if (gst_v4l2_object_get_colorspace (v4l2object, &format, &info.colorimetry)) {
+  GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (v4l2object->dbg_obj, "Processing colorimetry");
+
+  if (0 && gst_v4l2_object_get_colorspace (v4l2object, &format, &info.colorimetry)) {
    if (gst_structure_has_field (s, "colorimetry")) {
      if (!gst_v4l2_video_colorimetry_matches (&info.colorimetry, caps))
        goto invalid_colorimetry;



With this change however I now get a different error.
Code:

Looking online I found references to this same error in the error log on the following post.

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...1#pid71121

I assume the user was getting this error when attempting to use megapixels.
In my case megapixels works perfectly fine I only get this kernel error when I attempt to use gstreamer.

Does anyone know the nature of the "sun6i-csi 1cb0000.csi: Unsupported pixformat: 0x56595559 with mbus code: 0x3001!" error?
The other user didn't get this error after applying their patch so I am wondering if something else changed in mobian since they made there patch.

Also is it possible this pixformat error is related to the patch I made to gstreamer related to not obtaining the colorspace?
To my unfamiliar eyes it looks like it might be related by the author of the patch didn't seem to think it was.

Has anyone else successfully been able to use the pinephone camera with gstreamer under mobian?

Thanks!


  Pine H64 Stock

The Pine H64 seems to have been out of stock for the past year with maybe a very brief return for a couple of days. Does anyone know when this will be restocked?


  How to install OpenBSD on the PBP?
Posted by: BenniTec - 10-26-2022, 03:22 PM - Forum: BSD on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

Hi,

I have tried all day to install OpenBSD 7.2, 6.9 and 6.7 on my Pinebook Pro.
When I flash the installer*.img or miniroot*.img onto my usb-stick or SD card
and apply the necessary dtb and u-boot patching described in https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.2/...TALL.arm64,
the PBP starts into boot(8) and no matter what I try (eg. `set tty fb0` and/or `boot /bsd.rd` and/or `machine dtb ...`)
I get a flashing screen and nothing happens.

1: Do I need to buy a serial cable to install it or am I doing something wrong?
2: Does anyone have a working installer or image that works without a serial cable?
3: Is there some other way of installing it instead, eg. over ssh with an ethernet adapter (Pinephone USB-C dongle)?

  Struggling to get Android running
Posted by: qwe - 10-25-2022, 11:57 AM - Forum: Android on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - Replies (1)

My recently-purchased Pine A64-LTS runs Armbian swimmingly. I also need to run Android on it— a seemingly trivial task, but one that has brought me to my wits end.

Here's what I've tried:

  • The official Android 6.0 image (in its 32GB variant). The first time I extracted and burned this image, I saw a blue light appear on the board, noticed that the CPU was running hot to the touch, and nothing else. I extracted and burned the image two more times and saw nothing at all happen.
  • The Android 7.1 community image. This image allows the board to turn on— however, it loops forever at the Android splash screen (in which it plays a fun animation before, in a normal scenario, shifting to the word "Android".) I attempted to burn it a second time with the same result.
  • The Android 6.0 community image. This image successfully boots, but something is clearly horribly wrong. It runs at ~10FPS with significant lag in all menus, and I can't get any sort of internet connection— neither Ethernet nor a USB Ethernet adapter yield a link, and wifi and Bluetooth refuse to turn on. The Ethernet jack on the board blinks an orange light rapidly forever. Thus, this image is unusable. I attempted to burn it a second time with the same result.

All images were burned the same Samsung 32GB microSD card using a ThinkPad built-in microSD slot, running Arch Linux with the following command:
Code:
sudo dd if=./IMAGE of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1MiB status=progress conv=fsync

Note that this exact combination was able to successfully boot Armbian prior.

Clearly, something is going horribly wrong with my board, being unable to boot Android despite so many failed attempts to make it so. My next attempts will be to boot the 8GB variant of the official Android 6 image, as well as the official Android 5 image, but I don't expect them to yield fruit. Though this is clearly a dated board with little support at this point, I'm posting here in the unlikely event that someone here will have some ideas.
