  Prohibit Pinecil from going nuclear
Posted by: snorkel - 03-12-2026, 07:30 AM - Forum: Pinecil Software - Replies (2)

Got my Pinecil some weeks ago. Fixed me a DC plug so I could run 24V.
It works just fine! Most of the time...

Then and again it goes into nuclear mode, I see it tries to run 450C or something like it.
After that the tip is toast.

Now, tips are'nt directly cheap and I consider this to be a manufacturing problem.
But you all know the drill..

What I want to know, does anybody else have this problem?
I saw some weird setting regarding high temperature, nothing I could turn off as far as I understodd.

Please help, before I run out of tips..

  Looking for PineTime users to test an Android app with BLE heart rate support
Posted by: Mitrax - 03-11-2026, 11:42 AM - Forum: General - Replies (2)

Hi everyone,

I'm currently developing a small Android app called Dormivox.

The Bluetooth feature was mainly designed with the Pine watch in mind – mostly because I like the project.

Current features:
• Live noise level detection
• Alarm to interrupt snoring
• Night statistics and history
• Playback of recorded audio segments
• Optional Bluetooth heart rate input (BLE)

I'm particularly interested in testing Bluetooth heart rate devices with open BLE support (for example PineTime or other BLE HR monitors).

If anyone here would like to try it and give some feedback, that would be very helpful.

You can find the app on the Play Store by searching for: Dormivox

Thanks!
Mitrax

   


  US Tariffs & Recent Supreme Court Decision
Posted by: recursivenomad - 03-09-2026, 09:46 AM - Forum: General - Replies (2)

Hello PINE64 community,

I see that making a purchase to the US is still charging the full $25 shipping, noting coverage for tariffs, and the amount has not changed since the US Supreme Court decision to suspend specific tariffs in February.  I just wanted to ask if there are any plans to update this cost to reflect the new tariff situation, or if this cost is expected to remain the same?

Thank you for developing and selling awesome open-source hardware :)

  Pinecil v2: Use car battery for power?
Posted by: FZB - 03-02-2026, 09:56 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinecil - No Replies

  RISC OS Linux port
Posted by: Raik - 02-26-2026, 05:40 AM - Forum: PineTab Software - No Replies

I have installed RISC OS on Linux on PineTab2 (also on PinePhone with Mobian). Is not an Emulator, is an executable. So it is very fast with the access of the hardware like WLAN etc. The screenshot are my own settings.

[Image: ROS_PineTab2.jpg]

You can download from PyraDirect . The collection I have made for the Pyra handheld based on ROD's PiDirect but works fine on PineTab.

It need base-devel as dependencies (e.g. sudo pacman -Sy base-devel)

Unpack the download in Terminal with

tar —xattrs -xvf Downloads/pyra_direct.tar.gz

to your home directory. It takes a while.

Then in Terminal…

Dir RISC_OS

./run_RISC_OS

The first start takes a bit longer.


  Systemupgrade fails
Posted by: Raik - 02-25-2026, 11:15 PM - Forum: PineTab Software - Replies (1)

I have perform a system upgrade/actualization and it fails. It looks like all is working fine but after restart it ends in a endless loop. Enter the GUI is no longer possible.
With CTRL+ALT+F2 I can enter the Terminal. My account is working but no network and "startx" fails.

I have try to install the available actualization in discovery and later, after a "factory reset", in terminal "sudo pacman -Syu". All the same.
After the actualization e.g. freecad, musescore are working (before only installing possible) but after a restart... next "factory reset".

Any ideas?


  dead Pinebook - help please
Posted by: RicTor - 02-25-2026, 08:49 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

My PBP broke due to stiff hinges. I have replaced the Palm case, released the stiff hinge and transplanted all contents.

But the PBP now will not switch on. I have checked all connections, ribbons etc. All look OK.

Can anyone help me with tests to find the problem? Email would be very useful.


  OpenClaw
Posted by: keithy - 02-22-2026, 11:57 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

Minimal community edition of Armbian to run a minimal OS, podman and OpenClaw

(Just wanted to share my recent success)



Downloaded community rolling release minimal Arabian image from:

https://www.armbian.com/rock64/

Etchered onto 4Gb SD-Card.



Booted, user:root pass:1234

Added ssh key, disable root password.

Ran the armbian-update



$> sudo apt-get install f2fs-tools

$> armbian-config (transfer os to internal emmc 

(this worked like a charm, uses f2fs and leave /boot as ext)



$>  sudo apt-get install git

$>  sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https



Using podman required the following dependencies:

$> apt install uidmap

$> apt install nftables

$> apt install catatonit

$> apt install passt

$> apt install podman

$> apt install podman-compose



$> git clone --depth 10 https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw



$> # tmp isn’t big enough for the next steps

$> mount -o remount,size=2600M /tmp



$> cd openclaw

$> ./setup-podman.sh --quadlet

$> sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user start openclaw.service

However, I struggled to access logs of what was going on inside podman.

Plan B mise-en-place managed tools

Install mise-en-place using apt
from: https://mise.jdx.dev/installing-mise.html

Code:
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt install -y curl
sudo install -dm 755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fSs https://mise.jdx.dev/gpg-key.pub | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/mise-archive-keyring.asc 1> /dev/null
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/mise-archive-keyring.asc] https://mise.jdx.dev/deb stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mise.list
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install -y mise

As user claw.

Add activation to ~/.bashrc
$> echo 'eval "$(mise activate bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc

$> mise use -g node@22
$> mise use -g pnpm
$> mise settings set npm.package_manager pnpm
$> mise use -g npm:openclaw
$> which openclaw
$> /home/claw/.local/share/mise/installs/npm-openclaw/2026.2.21-2/bin/openclaw
$> openclaw onboard


  installed devuan 5/6 - missing out on resolution
Posted by: kapqa - 02-20-2026, 11:36 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - No Replies

Hello ,

hjae installed Devuan 5/6 on a newly acquired RockPro64 -
very pleased overall with the system

https://devuan.bio.lmu.de/devuan/dists/d...rd-images/
https://devuan.bio.lmu.de/devuan/dists/e...ard-images

however iam missing out on resolutions,
since xrandr is reporting only resolutions on 16:9 format, however my monitor are mostly in 16:10;

do i need additional driver or firmware?

devuan is a derivative of debian, so devuan 5 iscorresponding to debian 12
devuan 6 to debian 13 trixie roughly.



thank you very much.
