  Wifi not recognized - Pine64+ / Debian Bullseye
Posted by: coredumpster - 08-13-2024, 10:09 AM - Forum: Linux on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - No Replies

I have a Pine64+ single board computer, with the wifi/bt POT accessory.

Have successfully installed Debian 11 ( Bullseye ) and have that running, but cannot for the life of me seem to get the wifi/bt module enabled.

I have installed the firmware-realtek package, which should have the right firmware bits, but something else appears to be missing, and I'm at a loss.

Code:
cparker@pine64:~$ uname -a
Linux pine64 5.10.0-32-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.223-1 (2024-08-10) aarch64 GNU/Linux
cparker@pine64:~$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye

The Realtek FW .bin files are in /usr/lib/firmware/rtlwifi  for the rtl8723bs.

Modprobe doesn't appear to do anything.

Is it an issue with Debian / Bullseye?  Would Bookworm be different, or Armbian?  Not stuck with this version, but it's the first one I was able to get to boot properly, with everything else working.


  I can help.

  PINE A64-LTS enable I2S on Linux
Posted by: toadShepard - 08-08-2024, 12:09 PM - Forum: Linux on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - No Replies

Has anyone been able to get I2S to show up through the ALSA "aplay -l" command when running linux on the PINE A64-LTS. I attempted to follow some of the changes from this post: 
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=6906

But after modifying the equivalent .dts file overlay (mine is sun50i-a64-pine64-lts.dts) I am able to see i2s0 under /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/soc/i2s@1c22000/status is set to "okay". But when I run "aplay -l" I get the response "no soundcards found...". 

Any help is appreciated.

  Installer Help !
Posted by: jacktrade - 08-04-2024, 01:28 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (2)

Hi everyone,

I have a Pine A64 that I want to start using again, and I tried to downloaded the Pine64 installer, to install lunix OS, from the github repo here and it is not functional! Blush 
When i was first using this board a few years ago the software worked. The sofware will not let me select a my type of board or what type of software I want to flash to it. I tried downloading it on my Mac and windows, and they both do not work. So then I tried using etcher to flash my sd card with this ububtu arm image but it didnt work either. 

When I plug the board in it with the flashed sd card it only turns on with a red light. Does anyone know if it is my SD card or my board. I have not used this in a long time and there isnt much support on it.

Any help will be appreciated Smile !

  How to boot from SD card in PPP
Posted by: joespodie - 08-02-2024, 09:40 AM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (2)

PPP = Pine Phone Pro. 

I have tried to make this phone into a daily driver but so far I can't get it to even be a dumb phone. I did buy one of those 15 to 1 Linux SD card that has lots of choices for installing 15 different operating systems (P-Boot). Here is the problem. I put that SD card in the Pinephone Original and almost none of the operating system ever really worked as a phone first. But one was different. The Postmarket OS /Phosh. Man it works fantastic. It found the SIM card on the first boot and it had never failed to find and make and receive calls. It awesome. So then I switch the SD card to the Pinephone Pro and it will not boot from the SD card. It turns out only the original pinephone boots by default to the SD card, the Pro version does not. Why? I would like to boot with this 15 to 1 SD card in the Pro so I can try and the OS for all 15 of them and see which one works best on the Pro. Who knows, maybe it will end up being the same as the original, Postmarket OS / Phosh. I am OK with that but I would like to get the PPP to boot from the SD card. I have tried everything on here that I can find but maybe I am missing it because I am looking in the wrong place. Is there a good link that gives the steps to boot the Pro from the SD card first ?


  My new phone stopped working.
Posted by: gunnygee - 08-01-2024, 04:43 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (3)

G'Day. My new Pinephone arrived yesterday (01/08/2025) and at first seemed to be working then all of a sudden it went crazy. The lettering is nearly impossible for me to read. When I use the Angelfish app I'm told that it cannot connect to a server. I can't even make a phone call with this device. At this stage I'm wondering why it wont work and how to fix it. Perhaps the software (Mangaro) has broken down all ready. Perhaps the device itself doesn't work. Perhaps I need to make an adjustment to the settings. I'm hoping some one can enlighten me and enable me to use this new phone. Perhaps I need to; accept that I've wasted my money, buy another phone and convince as many people as possible to steer clear of Pine64.


Smile Ethical sourcing practices
Posted by: x.c12 - 07-30-2024, 01:51 PM - Forum: General - Replies (2)

Hello, I'm considering purchasing a PinePhone and I am interested in understanding the ethical aspects of its production. Could anyone provide information on whether Pine64 has ensured that materials used in the PinePhone are sourced without the involvement of forced labor or inhumane practices?
