  my pinephone melted
Posted by: norayr - 02-25-2024, 05:24 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (6)

when charging. it was connected to pine64 charger. to its left port, which gives 5.3V.
i felt a smell of burned plastic, came to the phone, and found it like this: backcover melted, and type-c connector melted. it cannot be pulled out now.

glad it didn't explode.

well i guess i can buy a backcover, that's not a problem. but i am afraid that the charging module melted down and that cannot be repaired.
i even afraid of pulling out the usb connector right now. and i hope other modules on the board aren't damaged.
i have photos in the phone, at very least i would be happy just to save those, but no idea if i can connect to its internal storage and unlock luks somehow from outside.

it doesn't turn on anymore.

  [Article] Coding Ox64 BL808 SBC the Drag-n-Drop Way
Posted by: lupyuen - 02-24-2024, 06:38 PM - Forum: General - Replies (3)

Remember MakeCode? BBC micro:bit and its Drag-n-Drop App Builder? MakeCode for BBC micro:bit is an awesome creation that’s way ahead of its time (7 years ago!)
- TypeScript Compiler and Arm Assembler in the Web Browser (in JavaScript!)
- Custom Embedded OS (CODAL + Mbed OS)
- micro:bit Simulator in JavaScript

Today 7 years later: How would we redo all this? Maybe with...
(1) Hardware Device: Ox64 BL808 64-bit RISC-V SBC
(2) Embedded OS: Apache NuttX RTOS
(3) JavaScript Engine: QuickJS for NuttX
(4) Web Emulator: TinyEMU WebAssembly for NuttX
(5) C Compiler + Assembler: TCC WebAssembly for NuttX
(6) Device Control: Web Serial API with Term.js

This article explains how we gave MakeCode a wholesome wholesale makeover with NuttX:

  Is it only me? MicroSD chips do not last.
Posted by: mburns - 02-24-2024, 02:05 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Accessories - No Replies

I had to retire my second installation of Mobian Linux on a 500GB chip when the chip's output became much too slow, this happening on the PinePhone Pro of course.


  Updating the "extra" repository breaks the Danctnix OS
Posted by: Evergreen - 02-24-2024, 12:40 PM - Forum: PineTab Software - No Replies

So, I'm new to Arch. Might be more of an Arch question, but here goes:

I recently broke my OS by updating a bunch of stuff from the "extra" repos. When I ran the following to update:

Code:
sudo pacman -Syu

It asked me if I wanted to basically reinstall a bunch of already installed packages via the "extra" repository. I was tired of seeing that prompt, so I finally just said yes to everything. After that, the OS wouldn't boot. I did this twice actually. Same thing happened.

I successfully reinstalled the OS, I just don't want to make the same mistake a third time.

How do I either avoid breaking the OS with extra or make sure that the prompt isn't annoying me all the time?

Thanks,
Evergreen


  Image Latest Phones Ship with
Posted by: vorell - 02-24-2024, 11:39 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (8)

I just received a Pine Phone Pro the other day and was playing around in the pre-beta sailfishOS install when I accidentally disabled Developer mode and the OS sort of bricked itself. I was able to flash Manjaro ARM to keep tinkering with it, so the phone itself is fine.

I've been searching but haven't been able to find a community link to the image the phone shipped with. It was the latest sailfishOS 4.5, does anybody know where I can re-download that image?


  Screen on pinebook stays black but can ssh into machine
Posted by: tuxxpine - 02-23-2024, 04:22 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

Hi,

I'm having an issue with my pinebook pro. I recently was fixing a pinebook pro for a friend, and somehow my screen decided to not turn on anymore. The pinebook pro boots correctly since i can ssh into it. I tried setting the screen brightness via ssh to no avail. Also disconnected and reconnected the screen ribbon cable on the motherboard. But i still have a black screen. Is there anything else i can do to try and fix the screen?

Thanks!


  Bricked my PineTab2 using Jumpdrive?
Posted by: jkboyd - 02-23-2024, 03:05 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (2)

I tried to use Jumpdrive to write an os image to the exposed /dev/hda block device and now the tablet no longer boots. Jumpdrive always boots though and I tried "flashing" the factory default image but still no luck.

Can I somehow use Jumpdrive to restore my PineTab2 to a bootable condition?

I never received a USB/UART with my PineTab2 and shipping to USA is quite expensive so buying this would be a last resort.


  IRC certificate and Pidgin?
Posted by: Must-Borrow - 02-23-2024, 10:26 AM - Forum: Community and Events - No Replies

Hey all -

I'm having an issue connecting to IRC from Pidgin on Windows, my IRC client of choice. I get the following error message:

I'm not sure what to do about this? I've double-checked my connection settings:

  Chatty Matrix Decryption Key
Posted by: jojuma - 02-23-2024, 02:03 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (2)

I just connected Chatty to my Matrix account.
I verified this on another device I use Matrix on.

But I can't find an option to decrypt older messages.
What do I have to do to achieve this?


  How to update/compile Debian 12.5?
Posted by: Wizardknight - 02-22-2024, 01:09 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (3)

I am running Debian 12.5 on my Rock64. I am using the nightly images https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/arm6...rd-images/ offered here.
The image works great for the most part.

I would really like to fix two things.
1. There is a 5v error related to the DTS file that has what looks like an easy patch to implement.

Code:
  rockchip-pinctrl pinctrl: pin gpio0-2 already requested by vcc-host-5v-regulator; cannot claim for vcc-host1-5v-regulator
  rockchip-pinctrl pinctrl: pin-2 (vcc-host1-5v-regulator) status -22
  rockchip-pinctrl pinctrl: could not request pin 2 (gpio0-2) from group usb20-host-drv  on device rockchip-pinctrl
  reg-fixed-voltage vcc-host1-5v-regulator: Error applying setting, reverse things back

Described here: https://patchew.org/linux/20230421213841...@brun.one/

2. I would like to see the boot messages during boot time. 
That requires removing the quiet option from the boot.scr file to the best of my understanding. As far as I can tell that requires it to be recompiled too.

Can anyone point me to a guide for doing these changes? I am fairly comfortable at the CLI, but I have never tried to compile like this before.
