Hey, just tried Ubuntu 25.04 beta ISO on an SDcard and it boots as you would expect any x86 to say from a USB stick. This is the first time I have found an ISO boot successfully like this, took a little while to get to the desktop but it works in live mode, no wifi, BT or sound, would it be possible if I installed it?

Maybe human who sell me this phone install bad image or this product dont working in russia.. if you have information on this issue, give link, for decide problem, thanks)

I started to think about why I was still using the Mobian repo. It looks like most of the dev work is bing done in debian trixie. So, I looked at what was installed.

Hi everyone!

After 2 years in my drawner, I decided to revive my Pinebook Pro. I wanted to use it to watch Youtube video, Spotify and my Plex media when in the bedroom (don't have any TV there).

So, I downloaded the latest Pinebook Pro image from Manjaro (Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-pbpro-23.02) and reinstalled the whole laptop.

Saddly, I found out that this version has some problems that previous one didn't had :
- When put to sleep, the computer don't come back on. Must force poweroff
- Wifi stop working on reboot. Needs poweroff/poweron
- Videos are sluggish on Youtube

So, I decided to try a previous ISO I had (Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-pbpro-21.12) and I have none of theses problem with the Pineboook Pro!

But I have, then, another problem : completly unable to update anything! I always get PGP error. I tried to :
pacman-mirrors -f5
pacman -Syy manjaro-keyring archlinux-keyring

None of them fiex my PGP problem.

So ...

how can I use the old version and update it correctly OR how can I use the new one and get by the old stability (sleep, wifi, video accelaration) ?

My understanting of Linux is not good enough for me here.

Thanks in advance for you help!

I see there are Android images here https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/ROCKPro64_S...es#Android
But I don't have a LCD screen. Anyway I can use it without one ? I wish to control it from my PC, through scrcpy program. But this program need Android to enable usb debugging. Which again need LCD to enable manually.

How can I make my watch vibrate using Python from a Raspberry Pi?

Ox64 has single 64-bit 480MHz RV64 C906 core and two 32-bit 320MHz RV32 E907 + 150MHz E902 cores
How multi core run simultaneously

The Pinephone Pro with a Rockchip RK3399S CPU includes a 3.0 TOPS Neural Processing Unit.
I assume it is a massively multi-threaded ASIC processor similar to a GPU without graphics specific circuitry on the die.
Do we have any software or the required drivers to utilize this hardware?
Other than jankey code what is this useful for?

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!
