  Getting back Bluetooth
Posted by: chris.burmajster - 03-24-2025, 06:26 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - No Replies

Hello Everybody,

 I have a new pine time and I put, using Siglo on my Pine Phone, 1.15.0. I validated it in the firmware and only then I discovered that I had put 1.5.0 on the Pine Time! The bluetooth disappeared from the settings and I don't know how to get it back. The boot loader is 1.0.0. I've tried the soft boot using 8 seconds on the left hand  button, but to no avail. I still can't get bluetooth back.

Can anybody help me, please?

Chris

  7" LCD
Posted by: drock - 03-24-2025, 09:51 AM - Forum: Quartz64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

I have been working to get the LCD working on Armbian using the notes here:

https://pine64.org/documentation/Quartz6...I_display/

I was able to make the dtbo file, but the command to update uboot, doesn't work and I can't find a package to install it it. Does anyone have any advice here?

small update. I think that the overlay I built is not compatible with armbian. @CounterPillow made it for mainline and I believe armbian is using BSP. I tried to build with DTC and get errors. I tried to boot a plebian image(older mainline built image), but I can't seem to get them to power up. Will follow up if I make any headway.


  Running Linux on Pinebook Pro with External Monitor
Posted by: Twers1962 - 03-24-2025, 01:13 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (2)

I’m new to the PINE64 community and just got my hands on a Pinebook Pro. Super excited to dive into the world of ARM-based Linux laptops, but I’m running into some issues when trying to use an external monitor via USB-C.

I installed Manjaro KDE, which I read is one of the more supported distros for the Pinebook Pro. However, when I connect my USB-C to HDMI adapter, nothing happen - no output, and the display settings don’t seem to recognize the second screen. I’ve checked a few things:

The adapter works fine on another laptop, so it’s not faulty.

Tried different distros (Armbian and Debian) with similar results.

Running xrandr only shows the internal display (eDP-1), no external monitor detected.

Looked at dmesg logs after plugging in the adapter, but I don’t see any clear indication that the system recognizes it.


Does the Pinebook Pro’s USB-C port natively support video output, or does it require extra configuration?


  BalenaEtcher issues...
Posted by: gtamichael - 03-23-2025, 07:15 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (6)

I have flashed multiple distros to my Pinephone many times.  However, now, Etcher is not picking up my Pinephone anymore.  

The jumpdrive is 100% functioning (my Pinephone screen is visibly showing the jumpdrive graphic) but Etcher is still not showing the eMMc option (or whatever its called) in the list.  

Any ideas on what is going on here?  Any solution suggestions?


  PineTab (early adopters) wifi broken in kernel 6.12
Posted by: bartgrefte - 03-23-2025, 05:25 AM - Forum: PineTab Software - No Replies

Recently I updated Mobian to Trixie, followed by updating the kernel from 5.15 to 6.12. Couldn't update the kernel to 6.* earlier because it wouldn't boot, fortunately that issue has been fixed Smile

Unfortunately wifi is broken with kernel 6.12, it can't find rtw88/rtw8703b_fw.bin and rtw88/rtw8703b_wow_fw.bin, boot with kernel 5.15 and wifi works again.

Since 5.15 works, does this mean I'd have to compile my own 6.12 with that firmware put in if I want to use 6.12?

edit: firmware-realtek was missing, apparently a dependency with 6.12.


  pinebook pro dixplays vertical stripes
Posted by: WEF - 03-22-2025, 07:47 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

While using my pbp, it displayed vertical wide grey and white bars covering the screen for a few seconds, display went black and it shut down. It had been pretty stable for quite a while.
Now when i power it on, green light on the keyboard comes on for maybe 10 seconds then goes out, the screen remains black. Anyone dealt with this? I hate to take it apart to blindly start seating cables or whatever since i understand this thing is easy to break and i am somewhat of a klutz. But i would like to get it working again, any suggestion is appreciated.


  Pinecil V2 doesn’t power on under any circumstances
Posted by: BigCarrotLeaf - 03-22-2025, 07:29 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinecil - No Replies

Hello everone!
I bought a pinecil v2 a few months ago, but I have only needed to use it once since I own it.
Yesterday I wanted to use it again, but I had to found out it don’t power on.
I tried with both barrel jack, and USB-C via 5-12-20V, also from two different cables.
While I hoped its firmware can be updated at least, from my PC, it doesn’t even recognised my device.
When I opened it up, everything looked normal, the joints were fine, nothing blown up.
Personally I’m a plain user not an engineer, though my assumption is that it is completely dead.

I would like to ask, what can I do in this case? Is there anything my attention passed on?
If it’s dead, I have any chance to repair?
