Hello all, I am working on a RockPro64 that seems to have a non-functional HDMI output but I'm trying to see if there's anything else for me to check before I RMA the unit. Everything else seems to be working, for example I can load the minimal Armbian image to it, boot it, and then SSH into it and see that the computer itself is working. But at no point is there ever any video output. There's no boot screen visible either. I've tried two different HDMI cables on two different monitors, confirmed these cables/monitors work with other devices, tried to hook up a USB-C hub, etc.

I've tried a few other images as well, LibreELEC (originally I planned for this to be a media center so this was the first one I tried), a few different Armbian images including the XFCE Debian 12 version, the Cinnamon Debian 12 version, the Ubuntu Gnome version, and DietPi. I can't verify that any of these work, although I am pretty certain that these have SSH access disabled by default and without video there's no way for me to enable that to check on these distributions. I also used the "flash_spi" image here https://github.com/sigmaris/u-boot/wiki/...oot-to-SPI to make sure that was working properly.

I also tried to add the kernel module from this guide https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/ROCKPro64#N..._on_Debian but it seems like my problem is happening before the kernel loads since there's no video output at all when it boots in the first place.

Since I can boot and SSH into the minimal Armbian install, is there anything I should check before I send this unit back? I don't currently have a serial cable but hope that since I can SSH into a terminal I won't need one for looking around at anything.

Hi,

I just bought PineTime and started working on my own watch face.

I managed to compile and run LVGL simulator for Mac with M3 (https://docs.lvgl.io/7.11/get-started/pc-simulator.html)

I tested my watch face with the LVGL simulator and it works as I would like it to work. Next step is to try to get my watch face running on the InfiniSim simulator.

I managed to compile the InfiniSim simulator on Mac but it won't start. These are the error messages I get when trying to run the compiled simulator on mac.

Has anyone managed to run the InfiniSim simulator on mac? Any ideas what's going on? I know I might be able to build InfiniTime project itself and upload my new code on my device but I'd feel much more safe if I can verify that the code runs on the simulator first.

START EDIT: 
Clean up and adding Mobian steps.
OS: DanctNIX Arch with Phosh fully updated
OS: Mobian fully updated
EG25 Firmware: Biktorgj 0.8.0

This uses PipeWire, Not PulsaAudio

DanctNIX Arch with Phosh
pipewire-alsa is required to get call audio.

I'm trying to reinstall some stuff after distro hopping and when I try to install firefox, I get the following error.

Hello, i'm searching for a Way to connect my 3 Pin Fan to the Euler Pins or other.

The PI2 Pins are not useable.

The biggest block to daily driving both the Pinephone and Pinephone pro is battery life.  I am not an expert but it appears to me that except for Clapper video app few if any parts of the UI or web browser take proper advantage of the GPU and therefore have to force the graphics through the CPU which is a large part of the total unusual electricity budget of the pinephone family devices.
On the Nokia N900, which was sold loaded with Maemo5 Linux, the GPU was accessed via a hardware abstraction layer(HAL) every time openGL was called, individual apps did not have to be optimized, the major exception were graphic intensive games including the rich(for the time) library imported from Palm/WebOS which was possible because the last gen of Palm devices used the same kernel and GPU as the N900/Maemo5 so were very specifically targeted directly to the GPU silicon for best performance.
The N900 was average battery life for an early(2009) smartphone we could do several hours of GPS guided navigation, web surfing, or playing graphic intensive games like tuxcart, N64 games via muppen64, or X-Plane imported from WebOS games. I do not remember watching the battery % drop at least 5% for every unluck and 1-2% per minute of unlocked screen eve though the N900 had a 1200mA/H vs the  PP/PPP with a 3000mA/H battery.

Hi,

We recently purchased the tablet. It was working fine, but now isn't turning on at all...

Need technical support please...

Hey everyone,

Im looking for some advice on which Pine64 board would be best for my latest project. I am planning to build a small home automation system that integrates with sensors (temperature, humidity, motion, etc.) and controls some basic devices around the house (lights, fans, etc.).

I've been looking at the different Pine64 boards available, but I am not entirely sure which one would be the best fit for this project. I need something that’s fairly easy to set up, has good GPIO options, and can handle running multiple sensors and devices at the same time without any performance issues.

And for the same I have been through these articles/resources https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=18116 Generative AI Tutorial that are quite informative. But I’d love to hear more from the community member.

Also, I’d appreciate any tips on getting started with the software side. I am thinking about using Home Assistant, but I’m open to suggestions if there’s a better option.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations or experiences you can share.

Best Regards
