Hi,

I'm new to pinetime development, so I used @lupyuen manual and managed to flash the mynewt firmware over rust with Raspberry pie 3.

Now, I would like to use the bluetooth on the pinetime and connect it to a flutter application on my android device.

I managed to run the flutter application using flutblue and also manage to discover some bluetooth devices, but not the pinetime itself.

what am I missing?

Thanks,
Raz

Hey,

I hope this script can be useful to someone, but basically the instructions are in the github.

Its a cron job that runs to check if the modem is there, and if it isn't there it will wake it up.

This should work on systemd, too, but it may need some tweaking, as I haven't tested it on systemd.

Well hello fwens,

On the page https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/ROCKPro64_Software_Release the first debian option works *ok* as far as graphics but is spanking fast file and cpu wise when you do a manual partitioning and put /boot ext2 on the SD that the installer was made on BUT put / ext4 on a PCI to SSD adapter (I am using an old m.2 macbook air SSD with a PCI adapter). Anyone have any hints on GPU stuff with a vanilla debian on this chip? I love the storage speed but would like to do somme retroarch lol.

If anyone has tips or pointers on how to make this better or would like to know more on how to do this install let me know.

Has anyone tried if the Quartz64 Model A fits in the RockPro64 NAS case?

I am currently thinking about updating my NAS to the Quartz64 for a bit more power.
But I really like the NAS case for my RockPro64, so I would love to be able to keep it and just change the board.

We now have a PinePhone with LibreOffice, mini usb keyboard and mouse which are working, a  Aliexpress usb-c adapter which works only with a usb desktop mouse to this date. Whe miss a connection to a HDMI monitor.

To found a solution, we found a high quality Google Chromecast 3 hdmi adapter plugged in our HDMI monitor, which was left from our last experiments for a stable connection of a Galaxy S5 to a HDMI monitor, which was successful. It was connected over an Android App to the HDMI monitor.

Is it possible to connect the  Google Chromecast 3 do the PinePhone, and if so, how can this be done?

We finally managed to run LibreOffice on the PinePhone and to control it with a Bluetooth mouse and a Bluetoth keyboard:

Martijn Braam wrote here in the forum about another usb-c apapter with VGA output:

«In theory any dock that uses usb-c displayport alt-mode for the video ports should work (which most are). The usb3.0 is a bit useless since the usb connection on the PinePhone is only 2.0. «

We bought a USB C Hub 8 In 1 Type C 3.1 To 4K HDMI Adapter with RJ45 SD/TF Card Reader PD Fast Charge for MacBook Notebook Laptop Computer for 20 USD on Aliexpress, shipping included:

We connected the adapter to the Pinehone. We plugged in an usb mouse, worked, an usb-keyboard, did not work, another usb keyboard did not work either, a HDMI monitor, did not work.

Does someone have any ideas how to make the missing components work?

Absolutely fresh install of Mobian (5/29 weekly image) patched up until last night. mmsdtng -d shows all good and green until the last line "Lost DBus Connection"

systemctl --user status dbus shows it's running and active. Modem is connected and active.

Hey there,
I hope you guys can help me get started on this one.

At the moment did the following and got stuck:

- Quartz model A board, with power and HDMI connected to external monitor
- Downloaded & Installed Balena Etcher in my Ubuntu
- Downloaded latest armbian image (Notice Armbian download link is broken on the Pine website)
https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/pineh64/archive/

Installed this on the EMMC card. Is there any switch to tell the board that needs to boot from the emmc or is automatic?
   

When I turn on the board, guess it's the Power button, do not get (so far anything) using HDMI.
Question: It would be really great to make a "getting started" section where is a bit more explained how to get started with this.

I know is only for developers, but developers don't necessarily need to be Rocket scientists to install Linux in a board

So, I've wanted to buy the PineBook Pro, but I can't see the Ukraine option in the menu. Please fix this ASAP (I know about the war. I just wanted to buy it later)

When I receive images in Chatty v0.6.4, they all show up as text.



I can receive XMPP images using Dino-im.

XMPP images work fine between Android phones using Conversations app. 

Is this a known issue with Chatty? Does anybody else have this problem? I would prefer to use Chatty over Dino-im because it has better notifications.


EDIT:
This looks like a known issue?

Is there any workaround? My wife is going to be pretty ticked because I can't see the photos she sends me. Can I do something with this ridiculously long link to view it?
