I just bought a Pinecil v2 and updated to firmware 2.23
and it also checks out to be official via the website check.
I bought the Amazon Basics 65W One-Port GaN USB-C PD 3.0 charger which is on the pine64.org list of 20v chargers but it only goss up to 15v. When I play with the settings I can get it to reach 20v only when PD Mode is set to normal. So the default mode „no dynamic” as well as „safe mode” only go to 15 volts …
New Pinenote user here, running on Debian Trixie. I've read the recent blog post explaining the issues with Wifi using 5Ghz, and indeed I can't connect my Pinenote to my home network on that frequency.
The blog post explains 2 workarounds, the first of which involves changing your network to only use specific bands. I'm not particularly interested in that option as it won't work on any other networks when I'm away from home and I don't want to jeopardize performance to my other devices.
What's not clear to me is if there's any action I can take to try out the second workaround listed there. It sounds like a more robust way to solve the issue, but the blog post doesn't seem to contain any instructions or links to instructions for how to actually do it.
Anyone is still playing PineCone? I am trying to build blsp_boot2 myself using the bl_iot_sdk tree.
However, the binary that I built is very different from the prebuilt image bl_iot_sdk/tools/flash_tool/bl602/builtin_imgs/blsp_boot2.elf
Here is how I did:
$ cd bl_iot_sdk
$ export BL60X_SDK_PATH=$(pwd)
$ export CONFIG_CHIP_NAME=BL602
$ cd bl_iot_sdk/customer_app/bl602_boot2
$make
The generated binary bl602_boot2.elf contains the main function like a dummy.
230002aa <main>:
230002aa: 8082 ret
230002ac: 0001 nop
230002ae: 0101 addi sp,sp,0
The pre-built blsp_boot2.elf seems to be a valid one, which matches the bl602_boot2 code.
Can anyone point out what I have missed here? thanks so much in advance.
What is the default password for my KDE plasma pine phone? I was never prompted to enter a password, but need it to run sudo commands in the terminal. I found default passwords like 1234, 12345, 123456, linux, on various forum post, but none of them work in my case.
My pine phone stopped making and receiving phone call.
I have full Internet and connection sharing, SMS works fine, both sending and receiving, but I am unable to make or receive phone calls.
I am in Australia, connecting through Telstra.
When attempting to make a call, it immediately goes to call ended, and when anyone calls me I get no indication that a call is coming through, at their end it goes to voice mail, and I receive an sms telling me I missed a call..
For an lshw list of my hardware .. please see attachment
The issue is not related to the recent upgrade, as it occurred prior to upgrading. I was hoping the upgrade would fix the issue..
I cannot flash the modem firmware. I succeeded in flashing ADSP by using ADSP Version EG25GGBR07A08M2G_30.202.30.202 but when I run flashall (with or without sudo), it just displays "waiting for any device". I tried to run each command line one by one and this message appears when running "fastboot oem stay": https://github.com/the-modem-distro/pine...s/flashall
How can I solve this problem?
I'm under Mobian bookwork, I'll switch to Mobian trixie when this problem is solved.
P.S: I'm going to upgrade the operating system first, it had worked with Mobian Trixie once for sure.
Hi,
My sealed Pinetime arrived today, I placed it on the charger, it booted, I set the time, a few seconds later it rebooted and is now stuck at the green pinecone logo at about 75%, nothing is appearing in gadget bridge or nRF Connect, hardware button is unresponsive, is there any way to contact Pine64 as I think I may have received a bad unit?
Currently I'm trying to let the battery completely drain but that is going to take days.
Running a linux OS on android phones Hey, so I just recently bought a galaxy s21 phone and since then I learned about the recent changes android is making, which basically would require third party developers to go through a verification process in order to allow folks to download their apks. I have concerns about this, since I use apks that Google and Android are not happy with to say the least, and I'm worried that this verification process will allow them to pick and choose who to verify and who to block, meaning I and others won't be able to download these apks anymore. So I'm trying to look into alternative OS I can install on android. So far I learned about some of the different linux mobile OS, but I'm concerned that I won't be able to run them on my galaxy s21. What phones should I look for in order to properly run and install a linux OS without potentially getting my phone bricked? I'm very new to this whole ecosystem so any and all advice is appreciated.
As always we need to be spreading the narrative of fully unlocked hardware and FOSS drivers to these people who want to go the libhybris ex-android hardware direction.

I have played around with my pinenote, and all was well. I am uncertain if it was I that messed up, but after a while the on-screen keyboard became unusable because the special keys stopped working.
Here is the problem, which appears in all apps, but let's say in a terminal: all normal keys work (for instance, typing ls). However, backspace does not, Enter does not. The result is that I cannot run any command in the terminal. Ctrl and Alt also seem to be broken
What I suspect is some setting got broken when I added and enabled some other keyboard layouts I use on most computers. I vaguely remember Enter did not work on those layouts, so I reverted back to the preinstalled "en" layout, but that one does not work. But I am not sure. I have been updating it via SSH, hoping for a fix, but only now I got some time aside to look into this.
I would like to recover this, since I have already configured it well. I can operate it via SSH, but I am unsure what to look for. I am mostly a Plasma user, so I am unfamiliar with Gnome applications and settings, but I can manage with gsettings and such.
