  MASSIVE NOOB QUESTION
Posted by: wsleini - 11-27-2021, 09:46 AM - Forum: General - Replies (5)

When is Pine64 planning on releasing the pinephone pro to the public?


  Connect external modem?
Posted by: feklee - 11-27-2021, 09:10 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (7)

The modem in my PinePhone is very unstable. Sometimes it's up half a day, but sometimes I have to restart it every few minutes. Yesterday, I upgraded to ADSP version 01.003.01.003 and to Biktorgj 0.4.2. Generally I'm happy with the PinePhone, but the modem crashes are really problematic. Often people cannot reach me.

Would it be possible to connect another, better modem via USB?


  2 weeks after installation during calls people hear me but i don`t hear anyone
Posted by: 7horns7eyes - 11-26-2021, 11:53 PM - Forum: Arch Linux on PinePhone - Replies (10)

Hi!  
Smile

2 weeks after installation during calls people hear me but i don`t hear nothing.
Just nothing no sound at all. Around 1 week at least speaker work, but now nothing.
Any solution or new installation of image?

Thank you!


  Are you guys still using Ayufan's OMV on your Rock64?
Posted by: AkiraSensei - 11-26-2021, 07:01 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - No Replies

I haven't installed OMV on my unit, but I am thinking about it. However...

I'm not Linux-savvy, but to my understanding, Debian Stretch is no longer updated. Am I right? So, for those of you using OMV, does this concern you or have you tried other OSs? IF so, which one?

Would installing Armbian Focal and then OMV through command on terminal work? Has anyone done this already?


  u-boot flashing problem
Posted by: dex357 - 11-26-2021, 01:34 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

Hello,

I just flashed the eMMC with the u-boot.itb idbloader.img from Debian testing.

I might have mistaken to copy over the dd commands to flash the eMMC.

When I pressed the power-on button I get immediately on the serial port the u-boot output:

U-Boot TPL 2021.10+dfsg-1 (Oct 10 2021 - 04:20:52)

Event when I plug-in the SD Card, the output is identical. Any idea how to solve this?

  Selling PineBook PRO with ANSI Keyboard + NVME
Posted by: woodeen - 11-26-2021, 10:24 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

I am located in Hood River Oregon, east of Portland.

Pinebook Pro, purchased June 2021. Includes a NVME SSD Interface Adapter, and a Western Digital WD BLACK SN750 NVMe M.2 2280 500GB SSD drive (installed and operational). Debian (Daniel Thompson's Debian installer version) is installed on the eMMC, and the SSD drive as the /home directory. Small scratch on the cover but otherwise as new

$275 plus shipping if you are interested. Thanks


  RockPro64 doesn't boot when PCIe to M.2 adapter is installed
Posted by: Cerberus - 11-25-2021, 10:35 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (3)

I see the green LED near the power plug and green LED on the adapter. After pressing the power button, I see some chromatic distortion on the display for about a second then nothing else. The white LED does not light up. After removing the adapter, I am able to boot up as expected. I am trying to boot from the SD card. My understanding is that the SD card would have a higher than NVMe for boot if I had flashed the SPI (to allow for NVMe booting), but I haven't flashed the SPI.


  Managing App Permissions
Posted by: Zee - 11-25-2021, 05:52 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - No Replies

It would appreciated to receive any assistance at all with managing app permissions on a newly setup Pin64.

The setup of the phone went as smooth as possibly desired (despite SIM issues) and the phone seems to work well.

Accessing where to manage settings for application permissions, though, is proving to be a significant challenge.


  RockPro64 programing GPIO by Rust
Posted by: yanagawa3 - 11-24-2021, 08:43 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - No Replies

Hello,
For the Rust developer, I show the gpio led blinking program code for RockPro64.
You can use GPIO pin number or BCM number.

In project
cargo build --release
sudo target/release/gpio

LED connected Pin 16 blinks.

cargo.toml

------------------------------------
[dependencies]
sysfs_gpio = "0.6"

------------------------------------
main.rs
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
use sysfs_gpio::{Direction, Pin};
use std::thread:Confusedleep;
use std::time:Big Grinuration;

// Define GPIO arrays
static BOARD_TO_ROCK: &'static [u8] = &[0, 0, 0, 52, 0, 53, 0, 152, 148, 0, 147, 54, 120, 50, 0, 33, 36, 0, 149, 40, 0, 39, 153, 41, 42, 0, 45, 43, 44, 155, 0, 156, 124, 125, 0, 122, 126, 121, 123, 0, 127];

fn main() {
    let my_pin_num = 16;//gpio number: 36
    let my_led = Pin::new(BOARD_TO_ROCK[my_pin_num].into()); // Pin 16 GPIO1_A4 gpio number 36 depends on chip, etc.
    //let my_bcm_num = 23;//gpio number: 36
    //let my_led = Pin::new(BCM_TO_ROCK[my_bcm_num].into()); // Pin 16 GPIO1_A4 gpio number 36 depends on chip, etc.
    my_led.with_exported(|| {
        my_led.set_direction(Direction::Out).unwrap();
        loop {
            my_led.set_value(0).unwrap();
            sleep(Duration::from_millis(100));
            my_led.set_value(1).unwrap();
            sleep(Duration::from_millis(100));
            println!("Blinking GPIO1_A4(36) Pin 16");
        }
    }).unwrap();

  Kernel 5.15
Posted by: Zebulon Walton - 11-24-2021, 08:06 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (10)

I just noticed that with the Mobian updates installed tonight it looks like kernel 5.15 was installed. Previously the phone was running on 5.13 which I had installed manually.

I was alerted to the kernel upgrade by a popup message after installing updates saying that the /boot partition was full. Checking it I saw the 5.10, 5.13, and 5.15 kernels were there. (I removed the old 5.10 kernel to free up space. Space on /boot is quite limited and old, unused kernels are not purged automatically.)

Running "cat /proc/version" after rebooting confirms that the phone is now running on the 5.15 kernel. Does the new kernel bring any noticeable improvements?
