Hi all,

I'd like to be able to boot my Pinephone using FEL boot without using the SD card. I've had success doing this for a Banana Pi, and a Pine64, so I would like to maybe make this an option for the pinephone as well.

Has anyone figured out which testpoint is the FEL boot pin on the 1.2 board? Did we ever get a proper layout for the 1.2 board?

Thanks!

I have Rock64 Ver.2 - 1gb model.
 
Was working fine with Armbian 24.5.0-trunk.211_Rock64_bookworm_current_6.6.21 - boot from micro SD card

On SSH, I updated to latest version Armbian_25.2.1_Rock64_bookworm_current_6.12.13. Now it does not boot from micro SD card.

I had another micro sd card. I flashed new Armbian_25.2.1_Rock64_bookworm_current_6.12.13 - does not boot.

I had another micro sd card. I flashed OLD Armbian 24.5.0-trunk.211_Rock64_bookworm_current_6.6.21 - it boots. Then updated to latest Armbian & does not boot anymore.

Looks like some " Flashing_u-boot_to_SPI_Flash " - problem.

Please help.

Thanks in advanced

Hello all, I just received my PineNote - which, blew my expectations away.  I think this is the device I've been craving for a long time to be just about a daily driver, which was not the plan at all, but I love the simplicity and flexibility it offers.  Perfect form factor for what I need, and it may end up saving my degrading eyesight (screen detox in my near future).

However, I have not seen any posts regarding successful or unsuccessful recording of audio - I just tried the sound recorder for one of my use cases, and it results in only a slight buzzing audio recording, though the functionality seems to work.  I have not dug into the config, but everything else worked right out of the box (mostly, except for that lib64 updating issue), so I was a little surprised by this.  I did verify that the internal mic was selected as the input (there were no other options), but did not look into drivers, logs, or anything like that, mostly due to lack of time to devote to it at the time.  Should have more time next week to do so...

Hoping it's not a hardware issue (and if it is, hoping it's something I can potentially fix myself?), and/or that some of the more refined Linux/embedded/etc. users here can help point me in a starting direction (or if anyone can also do a test to help confirm it's just my device, and not a bug).


Thanks!

I am on pinephone and am trying to install pmOS to the emmc but when I try to boot to jumpdrive (on a sd card) the led flashes green and doesn't go to jumpdrive.

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

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.

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?

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?
