OpenBSD support? |

I'm very excited to learn about Quartz64. I've been looking for a more modern replacement for my RockPro64 and this looks ideal.
As I am strictly running OpenBSD on my devices, I'm wondering if anyone is currently working on porting OpenBSD to Q64.
Thanks much!

Troubleshooting of pinebook Pro red light and black screen |
Posted by: wangyukunshan - 03-23-2022, 12:10 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories

Cause of failure: failed to reinstall the system, resulting in the red indicator light on when starting up, but the screen is black.
Long press the power button to shut down, and then prepare the native default system, preferably the image of the latest version of Manjaro arm KDE, write it to the SD card and insert it into the SD card slot. At the same time, put the image of the system into a USB flash disk and insert it into the notebook.
Then, remove the back cover, press and hold the recovery key (one of the two small black cylinders) above the motherboard with your fingertips, and then press the power key. At this time, the screen flashes several times for a long time. After it is displayed normally, it will enter the SD card system. During startup setting, do not install the system. In the trial state, open the start button, find the manjaro arm flasher , open it, find the system image in the USB flash disk in the path, set the partition where the installation location EMMC is located, press start , and exit the flasher tool after running is completed。
Next, click the start button to shut down.
Then, unplug the USB flash disk and SD card and turn it on.

Fresh Manjaro does not boot from eMMC |

Hi,
I put Tow-boot on the SPI. Then I flashed Manjaro-ARM-gnome-pbpro-22.02.img to a SD card, booted from it and used the manjaro-arm-installer to put Manjaro on my eMMC. I selected the minimal version with FDE. The installer finishes and I turned of the PBP. I removed the SD card and turned it on again. Tow-boot showed up and I pressed ESC to select to boot from eMMC (I guess this is not required since the eMMC is higher up in the boot order than the SD). Booting however fails each time and gives the errors that are visible in the following image: https://imgur.com/Wek8KNw
Did this happen to anyone else? I tried multiple times now with tow-boot and u-boot. I tried with the minimal and gnome versions with and without FDE. Can somebody help please?

Looking for app recommendations |

Hello everyone,
Today I am looking for game apps I can download in my pinephone so my kidos could have something interesting/fun but that it helps them academically speaking.
For example, I have a son in the 10th grade, he is advanced in math, so I have been looking for calculus homework help near me with no luck so he can start studying for his AP courses and examinations (which he will present next year).
So I searched around for calculus help websites or free calculus help online, but honestly, I am willing to pay for an app or a subscription as long as it's good.
We found this StudyPug site thanks to other parents' recommendations at school, it's like a calculus tutor or calculus help actually, it's a good app on an android phone apparently where they can see video lessons and has some interactive features like problems and such... but besides a typical course, I would like to complement this with a more fun way... so is there any game out there which could help students in such subjects? And furthermore, do we know of anything like this for a pinephone?
I would be interested in anything math or physics related apps.
Any recommendation? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I'm interested in real life data how much power PineNut need to operate.
My plan was to use them as solar powered ground moisture meters. They gonna wake up, and then report to base how wet/dry are ground, and go sleep back.
Also I'm not sure if i gonna play with BT LE mesh or just use WiFi. Size of grass is around 10x20m.
I need some real life data to decide if making it solar powered is possible or not.

gnome-firmware-updater not found (mirrors) |

I went to install gnome-firmware-updater and apk wasn't there.
I could see it on the alpine packages site.
After some poking around i found the website displays the dl-3 repo but my repo is dl-cdn.
Is dl-cdn not actively updated with the main repo?
Should i change my repo to dl-3 or wait for the dl-cdn mirror to be updated?

eMMC for Odroid C4 work in PBP? |

I need a spare eMMC for my Quartz64 project so I think I will steal the 64Gb one from my PBP and upgrade the PBP to 128Gb.
The problem is that the only 128Gb ones that I can find are Hardkernel ones meant for Odroid C4. I am looking at Hardkernel eMMC v0.4 "Purple box" from ebay seller repectech. Am I correct thinking that this will work just fine in my PBP ?
thanks

Hypervisor-enabled OS image or steps to create one? |
Posted by: CoachMarkS6i - 03-21-2022, 04:08 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64

Greetings,
I was wondering if anyone has a hypervisor-enabled OS image for the RockPro64 (4G)? Or reliable steps for creating one?
Long story: I started on this journey by deciding to create / use a load balancer on my internal network to provide controlled access to my SBC cluster, NAS and Plex servers. Kemp has a small, free, load balancer which meets my needs, however, it requires a hypervisor-enabled OS.
Short(ish) story: I'd like to get a hypervisor-enabled OS installed and working on my RockPro64 (I'll figure out the rest later).
