There seems to be a hard coded mistake in uboot. "env save" uses parition 4 (Logo) instead of 3:

=> env save                             
Saving Environment to FAT...

** Unable to use mmc 0:4 for saveenv **


I haven't found any way to change the partition. Is there any?

So my year and a half old PPp has started to have an issue where it wont come out of sleep, this has happened before it is related to the power/wake button not showing up in the system a reboot or two has always fixed this issue.
Now though the regular from fully off boot activators (USB power or power button) but a good smack on my hand and the boot process starts.  I have to guess there is a loose ribbon cable somewhere, any ideas what the issue is?

Hi everyone,
I’m curious if the PinePhone has (or will have) any built-in feature or community tool to help optimize long-term battery health, like charging limits (e.g., stopping at 80%) or adaptive charging. I know some laptops and modern smartphones have this option, and it really helps prolong battery life.

Has anyone experimented with something similar on the PinePhone, or is it more a matter of manually managing charging?

Dear Piners,

has anybody of you tried to get a USB gadget working for the second USB interface on the PineTab2? This is a fully functional OTG interface that you can use for much more than only charging. Anyway, as long as you don't connect an OTG cable, it will reside in device mode, so it should be possible to program USB gadgets following such instructions:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/hardware/usb_gadget
https://trac.gateworks.com/wiki/linux/OTG
https://developer.toradex.com/linux-bsp/...ode-linux/
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation...nfigfs.txt
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/m...usb-gadget
Based on these (and some other web sites) I contrived a script for a mass storage gadget. First I prepared an 8 GB big container file using these commands:

I have an account on Discord and access several areas there, so I anticipated no problems accessing the Pine64 area.  I was mistaken.

I am told that I must complete a few more steps first, but when I click on the button to do so a popup window opens that has a submit button that cannot be pressed and the beginning of a list of rules that cannot be scrolled to see them all.

I had intended to embed or attach the screenshots of this, but either I don't know how to do so or that is unavailable in this forum.

I see no way to contact anyone to correct this problem, so I am posting here in hopes someone can help me get this sorted out.

Thank you in advance for your assistance,

Dave

I am currently using an antique Fitbit Flex 2 taped together and have ordered the Pinetime dev kit to replace it as my health/fitness monitor.
 
I currently keep an eye on my Fitbit using the https://dashboard.exercise.quest/ website on my laptop.  I used to sync my Fitbit using their USB dongle until they dropped support. This forced me to get a junk phone to use with their Android app to sync it.

The final straw leading to my migration was Google insisting I had to migrate my Fitbit into their account.  That along with the decrepit state of my device led to my decision to migrate.

I intend to take them up on their offer to download my Fitbit historic data once I have the Pinetime configured to take over its function.  I would hope to be able to integrate this into new data from the Pinetime at some point.

The wiki indicates there are multiple ways to manage and work with my new Pinetime.  I have a laptop running Linux mint 22 and an Android 16 phone.  I would prefer to be able to monitor things from my laptop as I currently do and a data display similar to the webpage noted above would be great.  As the Pinetime has many more features than the Flex 2 I also see reasons to connect with my phone.

Can the Pinetime display incoming caller-ID information from the phone?  Can the Pinetime be used to accept or decline a call?  These functions would be great to have as I could then leave my phone in my pocket and deal with a call.  If the Pinetime could also be used to originate a call that would also be handy.

The heart monitoring functions of the Pinetime are new to me as the Flex 2 doesn't have that.  In addition to heart rate can it detect heart rhythm issues?  It would be good to be alerted to these in time to seek medical attention before they become acute.  If it can detect a myocardial infarction to initiate an emergency call great.

Does the Pinetime have a fall detection feature?  As I am a 72 year old a bad fall can be life threatening and it would be great if an emergency call could be initiated in case of a fall leaving me non-responsive.

As a newcomer to Pinetime I would appreciate any recommendations for which tools are best suited for me. I ordered the dev kit as it offers more possible options, but that might have been an overreach on my part.  I have been working with Linux for a number of years, but I am mostly an end user as opposed to a developer.

Thank you in advance for your guidance to a new Pinetime user.

If you are selling a pinephone in the USA please email me at ebmx220@gmail.com , thanks!

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 …

Is that normal?

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.
