  How to get sleep mode without bricking?
Posted by: regretfulpineuser - 06-10-2022, 12:31 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

Why doesn't the latest releases for PBP spec Manjaro images patch this sleep brick problem and the drunk mouse pad problem? How to fix sleep brick?

Help me with this and ill change my username.


  Latest Manjaro-Phosh and Arch-Phosh won't boot
Posted by: grinzie - 06-09-2022, 02:36 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (6)

Yesterday I upgraded Arch-Phosh with "pacman -Syyu". After powering off and on (booting from SD via TowBoot), there was no splash screen, and the screen was not backlit.
Today, I burned the latest release (20220502) to the same SD; the phone booted fine. I was quickly notified of a Software update, so I used Software app to upgrade again, with the same result; after powering off and on, there was no splash screen, and the screen was not backlit.
I switched to Manjaro-Phosh SD and ran "pacman -Syyu" and got the same result.



Anybody got an ETA on resolution?
For now I will run Arch-Phosh 20220502. I will have to torch my Firefox profile since I was running Firefox 101 and will now be stuck with Firefox 97 (there is probably a cute way to make pacman upgrade only firefox and all of its dependencies, but a quick search yielded nothing, and upgrading just Firefox did not work).


  How to use bluetooth after flashing mynewt
Posted by: razrosman - 06-09-2022, 12:27 PM - Forum: Development Discussion on PineTime - No Replies

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


  Temporary fix for Modem Not Coming Back on in SXMO Postmarketos Pinephone
Posted by: kebab - 06-09-2022, 11:27 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (2)

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.

  ROCKPRO64 PCI SSD SD-boot Install
Posted by: pspgarret - 06-09-2022, 10:56 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - No Replies

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.

  RockPro64 NAS case compatibility (Model A)
Posted by: flocke - 06-09-2022, 10:46 AM - Forum: Quartz64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

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.


  Google Chromecast and PinePhone?
Posted by: Peter Gamma - 06-09-2022, 09:35 AM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (11)

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?


  Multi usb-c adapter from Aliexpress?
Posted by: Peter Gamma - 06-09-2022, 09:08 AM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (1)

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

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=16614

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:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10050033...pt=glo2deu

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?

Tongue Trying to get Quartz model A working
Posted by: fasani - 06-09-2022, 06:30 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Quartz64 - Replies (2)

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 Idea


Tried with Manjaro release:
https://github.com/manjaro-arm/quartz64-...g/20220606

and it seems HDMI works out of the box. Now next step is to connect a keyboard and try it out!

Maybe I just choosed the Armbian wrong distribution from the Archive? Or just one where the HDMI drivers are still not working.

One more recommendation: Can anyone tell me if there is a Linux distribution that I can install where it has already the Eink drivers?
Would like to connect an epaper and try it out.
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
