Sad Problem with DD
Posted by: Re1L - 05-23-2022, 01:31 PM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - Replies (2)

Hello everyone. I have a problem with making backup through dd.
Example:
Through PINE installer on windows i installed some image of Linux on SD card.
Then on linux machine through dd command (dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p conv=sync bs=64K | gzip ~/image.img.gz) i made image of this SD card.
Then i copied (gunzip -c ~/image.img.gz |dd of=/dev/mmcblk0o conv=sync bs=64K) image from my file to SD card.
And this doesn't work, system is not loading. 
Gparted cant read what kind of FS using partitions after making copy on SD card.
Has anyone encountered this?


Question Pinebook Pro end-user ready?
Posted by: Watercourse - 05-23-2022, 10:25 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

I have not been here in awhile, but still very interested in all things Pine. Sorry if my questions are redundant.
Has the Pinebook Pro advanced to the point where it could be considered end-user ready for someone who uses only Linux (Mint, Ubuntu) in daily life? (I am not an advanced Linux user)
I see the trackpad works better Smile

Has the problem with the hinges been fixed?

Any ideas on when/if  Pinetab will be ready/available? Is it still a viable project?


  Invalid package error in Manjaro-ARM? Easy fix
Posted by: 98cwitr - 05-23-2022, 08:49 AM - Forum: Getting Started - No Replies

So went back from Phosh Manjaro to Manjaro-Plasma and kept getting package errors trying to run updates in the gui, ran the following from terminal and voila...now time to test things and see if there were any improvements to battery life and/or calls/MMS

Code:
sudo pacman -Syu

Take all the yes prompts and reboot.

  SOPINE Hardware Settings
Posted by: nmamore - 05-23-2022, 08:07 AM - Forum: P64-LTS / SOPINE Hardware, Accessories and POT - Replies (2)

Hi All,

Apologies for the simple questions, but I want to confirm a few things before we design this module into our system.

1. We are effectively using no analog signals (i.e, HDMI, Headphones, Microphone) in this design. On the baseboard we are designing I am planning to leave these pins floating. Is that okay to do?

2. I am powering the device through a DC wall wart. There is no battery in the design. For the pins that connect to the battery port of the PMIC, can I leave these open?

3. Should I power the COM from the DCIN ports, USBVBUS ports, or both? I noticed on the baseboard you design that these signals have a population option to be connected together.

4.How should the PWR_ON signal for the PMIC be used? Should it be pulled up or down to turn the device on? Or is it only edge triggered?


  Charging stuck at 3700mV
Posted by: tmczar - 05-23-2022, 02:47 AM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (2)

Hello.
I'm having a blast with my keyboard - it works great and i love it. But there is only one problem. Charging.
As you probably seen, a lot of people have charging problems and i've spend some time reading through all threads, searching for my problem, but did not find it.
So before you ask - my pogo pins make contact ;)
I have 5V/3A charger, just as recommended.
My problem is that my keyboard never charges above 3700mV, while also it also barely charges phone.
Here is output of ppkb-i2c-charger-ctl info

Code:
Charger: Constant current phase ( chg_op)
Button: 00 ( btn_not_press)
0x70: 19
V=3687 mV (OCV 3698 mV) I=-2 mA
It is with charger attached. It fluctuates a bit, sometimes I is bigger than 0, sometimes not, but V never excesses 2700mV.
Meanwhile phone charge is slowly reducing. I've tested echo -n 1500000 | sudo tee /sys/class/power_supply/axp20x-
usb/input_current_limit

But it did not help.
Anybody have any idea? Is it software problem, or maybe something is wrong with my keyboard battery?
(i don't know if it changes anything, but i use user-space driver ppkb-i2c-inputd, and manjaro with plasma-mobile)


  PinePhone Pro not detected by my PC
Posted by: Syndicator - 05-22-2022, 02:44 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (20)

Hello I'm still very excited to be part of this community and for those of you only interested in helping with my problem I advise you skip the rest of this and the next paragraph. I am sorry that my first posts here and discord have been complaints. I've been away from computers for the most part from 2010 - 2017 and hope to expand my knowledge base with your help.
Once my android phone updated without my consent and installed the covaids app (not installing any other system updates that I shelved for a long period) I had already been on the path to realizing (phone comes preloaded with apps) I didn't own my own phone. So I got a phone I could flash Lineage OS to and my experience with it has been nothing but pleasant, some bugs here and there but nothing I couldn't figure out on my own.

It's relevant that I note I've only begun using Linux in 2019 (Lineage, Installed Mint late 2020 on the first PC I've had in almost a decade and now I'm on Parrot) and very much so want to become proficient in sudo but I'm not there.
The issue I am having is, even after installing mtp-tools I cannot find the PPP under "devices" and I also cannot find it using lsusb or lsblk it should show up as adb or mmc from what I can tell.... I can find my other phone though. I have installed Tow-Boot. And the OS it comes with is too unstable to use for any length of time and it cannot connect to WiFi. I cannot use Jumpdrive to flash a new updated OS to the device, when I put it on the SD and hold the RE button when I attempt to start it it does nothing (from my understanding TowBoot should make it so I can boot it holding vol+/- and that does not work here so don't yell at me about not holding RE it it'll just boot the shipped OS) the SD card works to boot Manjaro though do I know the SD isn't the issue.
I've tried downloading a new OS after booting from SD and installing it with the Disk app and it runs into issues there as well. Even if that would work I'll be stuck with a device that won't register via USB and that's just not going to work for me.

Any suggestions?

  QI charging back cover
Posted by: kmsgli - 05-22-2022, 05:42 AM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - No Replies

Has anyone solved the Qi charging back cover issue with the pro?

I think I have come up with an aftermarket battery expansion setup that could work great but the Pinephone Pro does not work with the Qi back cover. My Qi back cover works with my regular pinephone but will not charge with my Pro. I think its related to how far the pogo pins stick out on the Pro but I cant seem to confirm that.

Has anyone had any luck using the Qi back cover on the pro?

If I can get Qi charging working I believe I have a solution that a lot of people would be interested in to use the Pro as a daily since you either need working suspend or a huge battery to run it all day.

Thanks.


  Trouble building (& using) pinephone-keyboard tools
Posted by: 64_Tesseract - 05-22-2022, 12:18 AM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (6)

I'm trying to build the pinephone-keyboard package on PostmarketOS, so I can see the keyboard's battery with one of its commands. After installing php and gcc to solve the dependency errors I was getting, I got stuck on one I couldn't figure out:

Code:
In file included from i2c-inputd.c:22:
common.c:20:10: fatal error: linux/usbdevice_fs.h: No such file or directory

I did a search and found the file in a GitHub repo that's supposed to be a Linux kernel - I don't know much on the subject, but I assume this means getting the tools to compile will be more complicated than a simple apk install... Unless, by some miracle, make's just not finding the header file hidden in some system folder Undecided

Anyone got any ideas? Cheers
