  Serial console pinout?
Posted by: jlucas - 09-01-2022, 09:31 AM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (2)

Hey I found some contradicting information on the wiki regarding the serial cable pinout:

In this wiki page it says that the tip is RX and the ring TX.
But right below it links to this PDF which says the opposite - tip is Tx and ring 1 is Rx.

Which one is correct?

  Forcing app to work in background - phosh
Posted by: saddamus - 09-01-2022, 01:52 AM - Forum: General - Replies (3)

Dear community.
I could not google the answer to my question. There are default apps for Calls (gnome calls) and SMS (chatty) that keep working in background.  How do I add another app same way to be always active ? I wanted to use fractal for matrix, but once the app UI is closed, the process is killed, so it does not receive new messages until its manualy open. Can it be forced in background same as Calls and Chatty?


  Article: NuttX RTOS on PinePhone: Fixing the Interrupts
Posted by: lupyuen - 08-31-2022, 07:58 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - No Replies

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...

  Connection to WiFi with OWE
Posted by: IhorOlkhovskyi - 08-31-2022, 07:36 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

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:


Code:
NetworkManager[495]: <info>  [1661936785.2866] policy: auto-activating connection 'WIFI_OWE' (6df297b9-b9c7-4746-a934-725a10786425)

Any hints how it could be fixed?

Thanks!


  Where do the keyboard layouts go?
Posted by: Eugo - 08-31-2022, 04:05 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (1)

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 Tongue . 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.


  PPP Monitor Black
Posted by: Deus - 08-30-2022, 09:16 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (1)

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.


Lightbulb Add a dark theme for the forum?
Posted by: cowsay - 08-30-2022, 08:13 PM - Forum: General - Replies (1)

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
