| Fail safe way to update ANX7688 firmware |
|

Hi,
as there'd been a lot of reports of failed updates for ANX7688 firmware, i thought i'd share my experience here.
The wiki already points out that there's some trouble with Linux kernel 5.10 (timeout)
and i had some trouble with the image it refers to... here's a fail safe way!
Before (version 0x2312):
Code: [ 11.356306] anx7688 1-0028: fw loaded after 40 ms
[ 11.365598] anx7688 1-0028: OCM firmware loaded (version 0x2312)
[ 11.380796] anx7688 1-0028: send pd packet cmd=0 05 00 32 90 01 26 12
[ 11.405217] anx7688 1-0028: send pd packet cmd=1 05 01 2c 91 01 26 16
[ 11.405764] anx7688 1-0028: send pd packet cmd=2 11 02 00 00 00 ec 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 39 00 00 51 77
[ 11.406629] anx7688 1-0028: send pd packet cmd=3 05 03 00 00 01 ff f8
[ 11.407149] anx7688 1-0028: OCM configuration completed
[ 11.409664] anx7688 1-0028: status changed to 0x00
To upgrade safely, download PMOS factory test image:
https://images.postmarketos.org/pinephon...t64.img.xz
Write image to SD-card...
Put the SD-card into linux host and mount PM_root.
Replace /lib/firmware/anx7688-fw.bin with the latest one from:
wget https://xff.cz/git/linux-firmware/plain/anx7688-fw.bin
!!!Attention!!!
Before using the serial debug cable, please disable headphone with the kill switch.
Insert card to your Pinephone and use serial debug cable (most convenient way):
login: demo
pwd: demo
...then:
sudo -s
echo 1 > /sys/class/typec/port0/device/flash_eeprom
Kernel messages will inform you about the eeprom flash process afterwards (call dmesg).
Send the device to halt and remove the SD-card.
Then after booting up to your OS will give:
Code: [ 184.219123] anx7688 1-0028: eeprom0 = 0x03
[ 184.219145] anx7688 1-0028: fw loaded after 40 ms
[ 184.219319] anx7688 1-0028: OCM firmware loaded (version 0x2410)
[ 184.220257] anx7688 1-0028: send pd packet cmd=0x00 05 00 32 90 01 26 12
[ 184.264040] anx7688 1-0028: send pd packet cmd=0x01 05 01 2c 91 01 26 16
[ 184.264557] anx7688 1-0028: send pd packet cmd=0x02 11 02 00 00 00 ec 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 39 00 00 51 77
[ 184.265367] anx7688 1-0028: send pd packet cmd=0x03 05 03 00 00 01 ff f8
[ 184.265871] anx7688 1-0028: OCM configuration completed
[ 184.269329] anx7688 1-0028: status changed to 0x00
That's it! Successfully upgraded to OCM firmware version 0x2410.
Hope this helps to avoid further confusion.
Cheers,
scholbert

| Alpine on RockPro64 |

Posted by: mutemule - 02-05-2021, 10:10 AM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64

Some time ago, I wrote a small script to build an Alpine image for the Macchiatobin platform. I had some time a couple of weeks ago to see if I could also build something for the RockPro64, and it turned out to be way easier than I thought.
I don't have any images published, and the script itself is still pretty rough around the edges, but it does produce a 40-ish MB image that will properly boot Alpine, so I figured i would share it. Note that I'm building this specifically to use the RockPro64 as a router (using an Intel X550), so the kernel is pretty slimmed down and huge chunks of non-router functionality have been removed.
You can find everything in the hosted repository: https://git.sr.ht/~mutemule/alpine-router-aarch64
(Turns out that the only real tricky part was that you need the specify the serial console to use with `earlycon`, and once that was done, Alpine basically boots just fine. Everything else I've done is just to strip the kernel down to be what I want it to be.)

Hello,
I'm not sure if I'm at the right place to ask for help, please let me know if an other location is better suited.
I'm trying to port my XMPP client to FOSS mobiles on the Pinephone (currently Plasma Mobile and Mobian). It uses Kivy framework which supports Wayland and uses a SDL2 backend.
I can build and launch it, but I have only a black screen. I have the same result with official example, here is some logs I have with an example application:
Code: $ python carousel_buttons.py

| Pinebook Pro won't wake up |

Hello fellow Pine-pals,
I have a PBP which I've installed Arch on and over all it works great. One annoyance has been that if I shut the lid it'll go to sleep but when I open the lid it doesn't wake up. I've tried pressing keys, tapping the power button, disconnecting and reconnecting the power... nothing. I haven't tried accessing the serial console but that might be my next step.
Since it sleeps OK I'm thinking this isn't the magnet issue but something else.
Has anyone seen this issue before? I can't recall if it happened with Manjaro or not.
Thanks,
Duck of Death

| Is there a severe bug in the encrypted installer? |

Hi all!
I have encountered what I suspect might be a severe bug regarding the encrypted installer from (?) 15 Dec:
I installed this from an sdcard no worries, to try it out. worked fine.
Then using jumpdrive I installed it to 2 pinephones, first and second ce versions, 2Gig and 3Gig. Also worked fine on both.
Now the problems start:
To have an experimental system to tryout updates before committing myself to changing my installed system, I made a fresh install of the encrypted installer onto an sdcard, and booted from it, and let it go through it's standard setup process, choosing to enable encryption in the process. I thought this would leave the installed system on the phone alone.
The setup process did not quite complete, it displayed the progress bar for a few minutes, getting to about 93%, then I suppose it tryed to reboot or something, but ended up with a blank, faintly lit screen, which did not progress any further.
When I removed the sdcard, and tryed to boot the phone from the internal storage, it did not succeed, and displayed the message: "cryptsetup waiting for encrypted source device UUID: then a bunch of characters followed this"
I created another encrypted installer image on an sdcard, and tryed it on my other pinephone, and the same thing happened, it did not succeed in the installation on the sdcard, and after that the existing encrypted installation on the internal storage would not boot.
I then tryed reflashing the encrypted installer onto one of the phones using jumpdrive, and going throught the setup process again from the internal storage, choosing to enable encryption, and this worked well.
-I wonder it the encrypted intaller is becoming confused at some point, in cases where it is installing to an sdcard, but where there is already a copy of the encrypted system on the internal storage of the phone? -Could it be looking for a particular storage type/name/uuid and finding the one on internal storage first, and overwriting it or something?
Great system regardless, and I am very grateful that it exists!
All the best, hope this is helpful feedback?

| PinePhoneCore - .NET5 Library for the PinePhone |

I've spent a couple of days building a library for the pinephone.
Its early in development, some things are still a bit wonky but all in all it works and I've written two services that run on my pinephone.
There's a nuget package available, however its not up to date, I recommend cloning the repo and adding a Project Reference if you want to use it.
The only things missing is the Vibrator and the Modem. All other Sensors are wrapped.
If you don't use the WiFi classes, there's zero dependencies, all of it works using the kernel filesystem and input events - if you do use the WiFi classes, there's multiple implementations for most methods, NMCLI, IFCONIG, IWCONFIG,... more about that in the Readme on the repo.
Getting .net5 setup on the pp is easy, the repo contains a wiki with a install instructions
https://github.com/Alumniminium/PinePhoneCore
I'm trying to attract other .net/C# developers to contribute / work together, feel free to reply here, message me privately or talk to me on Matrix
