  RockPro64 Stopped working
Posted by: WarpLover - 11-01-2022, 10:03 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (5)

I have a rockpro64 that went tits up. I read that Armbian should be tried to see if the hardware is any good. I can't get armbian to boot. When it installs I see an error among all the text "direct firmware load for rockchip/dptx.bin failed with error -2", so I presume the HW has failed?


  No keyboard on some document password field
Posted by: Chief - 11-01-2022, 10:01 AM - Forum: Arch Linux on PinePhone - No Replies

Hi folks,
I'm using Arch Plasma and I have noted that in libreoffice where a password is required no keyboard to type password appears. It seems to be only the password box for a document. I have noted that the arrow in the bottom tool bar does appear indicating that keyboard is present (?) however no where can I access nor see a keyboard.
Any suggestions?

To get by this for now I use a BT mini keyboard to access documents.
Other that this glitch Arch Linux Plasma works very well indeed except for HDMI which still does not work well.

- There is some progress on Qt6 support.
- The dialer and pin query app is going closer to proposed graphical design.

  Pinebook Pro malfunctioned hardware
Posted by: samtux - 10-31-2022, 07:06 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (10)

Hello,

recently my Pinebook Pro, which I bought in July this year, started making a low volumed noise, coming from the mainboard and first the sound stopped working and later on the keyboard and touch pad stopped working. The only working key on the keyboard is the power on/off button.

First I emailed the shop, they told me to email the pinemicrosystems support and there I got the answer that this seems to be a malfunctioned keyboard. But the noise comed from the mainboard and sound is not working and if I plug in a USB sound module, the noise comes over the headphones connected to it. Now I can boot the system up, plug in a USB keyboard and mouse and work with it, but I'm not sure if it's a matter of time until it dies completely or not.

I own some other SBCs, using them every day for years and never had such an issue with those.

Has anybody here experienced this malfunction and knows if it's repairable and how?


  Need to re-write U-boot from Pinephone pro currently in mass rom mode
Posted by: wolverine1 - 10-31-2022, 04:52 AM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (6)

Hi All;
I was trying to flash my emmc on Pinephone Pro and by mistake I erased instead my U-boot. I used an sd-card for the day and once the battery was drained the phone went into mass rom mode and I can no longer power it on.
After recharging the battery from a power station I tried to switch it on unsuccessfully. I tried as well the recovery mode (using the RE button on the back and it would work).
I can no longer see the device when running the lsblk command. However I see the rockship in mass rom mode when I run the lsusb command from my linux labtop.

I read few instruction and a script provided by the rkdeveloptool-master to flash the memory and see if I can copy across a new bin file (rk3399_loader_spinor_v1.15.114.bin) and from there being able to move out of the mass rom mode and use again the sd card. It was not successful.

I was wondering if there is U-boot image available that I can use and how can I copy it across to my phone memory since I am still on mass rom mode. I guess there are 2 questions in 1:
a) how to move out of the mass rom mode
b) How to reinstall the Uboot in my Pinephone Pro

Thank you.


  Resume from suspend not working after flashing Tow-Boot to SPI
Posted by: xp19375 - 10-30-2022, 04:28 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

I recently flashed Tow-Boot to the SPI and now my Pinebook Pro won't resume from suspend.  According to journalctl, it enters suspend just fine but it never resumes and I need to reboot.  Has anyone else encountered this?  If I have to, how would I go about flashing the SPI to what was there before?


  GPIO on the RockPro64 - all pins high?
Posted by: colinmarc - 10-30-2022, 12:30 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

Hi everyone,

I'm playing around with my brand new RockPro64 and trying to blink an LED using libgpiod. I have pin 24 hooked up to an LED, and no matter what I do, the LED is (dimly) lit. That's despite the fact that `gpioinfo` shows all the pins:


Quote:gpiochip4 - 32 lines:
        line  0:      unnamed      unused  input  active-high
        line  1:      unnamed      unused  input  active-high
     
        line  23:      unnamed      unused  input  active-high
        line  24:      unnamed      unused  input  active-high
        line  25:      unnamed      unused  output  active-high  # I've been trying to switch this pin on and off.

What's even weirder, every GPIO pin seems to be pushing a few volts out, even the ones marked GND in the diagram (for example, pin 6). To be specific, if I connect a jumper cable from PIN 6 to an LED/resistor and then to ground, the led lights up. 

Did I break something? Is there something I'm missing? I'm wondering if it has to do with u-boot, which I've flashed to SPI in order to support booting from a generic Manjaro image.

Thanks in advance for the help!
Colin
