Creating our own Operating System (non-Linux) for PinePhone can be super challenging…

-  How does PinePhone handle Interrupts?

-  What’s a Generic Interrupt Controller? (GIC)

-  Why is PinePhone’s GIC particularly problematic?

-  What’s an Exception Level? (EL)

-  Why does EL matter for handling Arm64 Interrupts?

We’ll answer these questions we port Apache NuttX RTOS to PinePhone...

NuttX RTOS on PinePhone: Fixing the Interrupts

Nemo images can be built with Manjaro unstable. Pinquery application and keyboard improvements:

They're embracing it but the Terasic dev board is $450.

Hello!

Just got a PineBook Pro on Manjaro and trying to connect it to WiFi network with OWE, but no luck. To networks without it connection is fine.
In logs I do see this:

After effectively bricking the Mobian subpartition, won't boot, I went on trying out other OSes, now with three weeks of knowledge under my hat . Tried Fedora for a couple of days, and liked it but it had no sound during calls, unusable. And I don't feel like messing straight with the modem. So I tried Lune and Maemo Leste for about half an hour each, nice, and likewise not ready for day-to-day use.
So next on the list, the Manjaro Phosh.
Seeing how it looks a lot like Mobian, I managed to copy my contacts, call history, worked like a hitch. Now when it came to my pet peeve, the keyboard layouts, I saw that what it uses for keyboards is exactly the same squeekboard as I had in Fedora and Mobian. So I put the files where they're supposed to go, to /home/manjaro/.local/share/squeekboard/keyboards/ and... nothing happened. So I wonder what's wrong this time?

Other than that, so far so good... Even the camera app is better than Megapixels. But no, it IS Megapixels, yet it looks much better and works as expected.

Hi. I've been trying for months, with many different monitors. Hoping a software update would fix it. The screen doesnt detect the phone but the phone correctly detects the monitors. I am using the PP ogs convergance dock. I read things like a new dock might fix it, or flipping the direction of the usbc. Would appreciate any ideas.

Forum admins, would you please consider adding a dark theme to the forum?  It is so much more pleasant on the eyes with a big bright monitor.  Not as default, just as an option to pick from, which we can do from the user control panel.

MyBB has a number of them to choose from. Maybe the community can help choose one.  https://community.mybb.com/mods.php?acti...ategory=29



Thank you

Here's a thread I created on Reddit. No matter which OS I use, I can't make/receive calls

Hello, All,

I’m considering a PinePhone/Keyboard purchase and was wondering if folks here might answer a few questions.

I’m fairly versed in Linux and understand that the PP is an indefinite WIP. I don’t expect to use it as a daily driver phone (but certainly hope to someday), but more as a Linux PDA.

1) Will a licensed TextMaker run on PP’s stock Manjaro?

2) Does Manjaro run a full Thunderbird, albeit slowly?

3) Is Newsboat or another terminal RSS reader available?

4) Are the keyboard configs configurable in /usr/share/X11/xkb/ ? For instance, I would like to remap the ?/ key to a Right Shift, then remap ?/ to fn+key or something similar

5) I have read that the kb keys are physically swappable. Is that true?

Many thanks for any answer or advice,
Jake

KB charger chip is off, press the button on the side to turn it on or charge it if it is empty.

pressing button does not change anything.  battery used to work.  charging indicator is On with USB power connected to keyboard.
