Hello

I tried to enable the serial console on my RockChip RK3399 to inspect what happens as soon as FreeBSD boots. This is the tutorial that I'm following :

Hello,

I was working on linux on the Radxa Zero 3W. Unfortunately, I am having  some issues getting CPUFreq up. It complains about  missing OPP tables.
While I dont ask for help with fixing the Zero 3W, since this will be offtopic, I would just like to know how the CPUFreq  system  works on Quartz64.

Does CPU Frequency scaling work on the Quartz64(especially with mainline 6.12.35)?
Does it use the mainline cpufreq-dt driver or does it require some rockchip patches?
Are the OPP tables supplied by the DTB or is there something like rockchip-opp to supply them?

Thank you.

I lost my current pinephone, and looking to purchase another one. anybody had a luck getting the pro recently, like as within the past couple of weeks?

I see that others have had this issue, but it is not clear to me if there is any solution or bypass ?

Hello, first time user,  so I already made an error, posted first in the wrong place. But kindly @Dendrocalamus64  put me on the right path.

The UI in settings does not seem to work, because the packages to be updated are always the same.

Particularly firmware is brcm80211    20240709 and it seems it expects to be updated to 20250410 even if it does not work

So I tried to update using the terminal
 sudo apt update

, but I get an error regarding invalid signature: EXPKEYSIG 447D9EBF6B6F552D Maximilian Weigang

Basically, your particular install has an old key and you need to get the new one.

Hello,
I bought the new Pinebook Pro back in August. A few days ago, while browsing the internet with Firefox on the standard Manjaro installation (no recent updates), I closed the lid to say goodbye to someone and forgot to charge it.

The next day, it wouldn’t turn on at all. I tried various key combinations in case it was a screen brightness issue, but I figured the battery must be drained. I charged it with the supplied charger all day, and the blinking red light indicated it was charging, but it never turned steady. Still, the laptop wouldn’t power on.

The following day, I charged it all day using USB-C, thinking the charger might not be working properly, but the same blinking red light persisted. The laptop remains unresponsive. I even tried USB booting with Tails, but nothing happened.

Today, I'm planning to open it up to check if anything has come loose.

Any suggestion is appreciated!

Hi everyone!

I’m excited to share a project I’ve been building called RoutineHero — a customized version of InfiniTime for the PineTime smartwatch, designed specifically to help young children follow daily routines.

Why I built it
My 3-year-old was struggling with basic daily routines like getting dressed, brushing teeth, or going to bed. I wanted to help him build independence without needing constant reminders — but I couldn’t find anything out there designed for that.
So I created RoutineHero: a non-distracting smartwatch that helps young children understand and follow their day.

• Custom OS based on InfiniTime, made for young kids
  
• Routine alerts with kid-friendly icons + gentle vibration feedback
  
• Companion Android app lets parents configure tasks, icons..
  
• Super simple interface — no distractions, games, or messages
  

• Is it okay to sell PineTime-based devices with a custom OS, as long as I don’t present it as an official Pine64 product?
  
• Can I purchase PineTime devices in bulk directly or through official distributors?
  
• What are the best practices to respect the spirit and licensing of InfiniTime, PineTime, and the broader community?
  
  

Hi guys,
I got my Pinebook Pro out of the cupboard again after a few years. Since the updates didn't go through, I decided to update it with a current Manjaro via the SSD card and then wanted to write the system to the eMMC.
It seemed as if everything had been transferred cleanly to the eMMC. Finally I entered "sync" and wanted to reboot.

Since then nothing works anymore. Pressing the start button shows no reaction. Even flipping the internal switch to start manually via the SD card was unsuccessful.

The system is completely dead.

A question for you: Is there anyone here who can reflash the eMMC for me? Or can I order an eMMC including operating system somewhere?

best regards
Karsten
