Not sure what I'm doing wrong here but I cannot boot from the SD Card any longer.  I tried multiple cards and multiple images.  I can't even boot off of jumpdrive installed on SD cards to reflash eMMC.  So now I'm stuck with a dud.  My unlock password is not working and I can't reload a new image on the eMMC or boot to an alternate image from SD.  Anyone else run in to this problem or have any ideas on how to get it working again?

More info: I can get it to boot in to the default OS and access it BEFORE the screenlock kicks on.  While in this mode, when I run lsblk from terminal, I CAN indeed see the SD Storage card here so I's not like it's dead.....it's just that I can't boot off of any images any longer.

I was scooting around the interwebs and noticed that NVIDIA has Linux aarch64 drivers for their GPUs.

Presumably, this is intended for the big-metal ARM servers, but I am curious to know if anyone has tried plugging a discreet GPU onto the board and testing out the drivers.

Hey,


I've been trying to get Chromium OS to start from sd, but both FydeOS as Chromium R77 are giving me a black screen and a (single) chime sound on boot...


Edit: I have resolved the issue. If anyone else is running into these not booting issues, install mrfixits' u-boot (using an SD-card with any working linux, flip the eMMC/SD switch to SD, press the power button and after 2 seconds flip the switch back to eMMC and you should be booting off the SD-card while still being able to write to the eMMC)

UPDATE July 7:
The delamination has spread over the last 3 months and has gotten to the point where large chunks of the screen stopped responding to touch input and I'm no longer able to unlock my SIM card (the bottom left part of the screen where you switch between letters and numbers on the OSK isn't responding).

I'm packing and sending my phone off to PINE64 for an RMA as we speak after contacting them via their ticketing system. Here's what the support representative told me after receiving photos of the screen upon their request:

PINE64 support Wrote:As per the LCD screen issue, you are required to ship the PinePhone without battery and accessories to the below address. As our engineer would like to find the root cause of the issue.

Hi,
  I am trying to find a way to control the power on/power off on my RP64 cluster nodes in order to switch off some unused units during the night and of course switch on some of them when the cluster reaches a load threshold. So far I am thinking of three ways (suggested by some pine64 irc users):
- use the GPIO communication to control the 4 pin header 
- use a relay that controls the power supply
- use a PoE switch with a splitter

Has someone solved this topic or have any suggestions ?

So, will PINE devices of the future be able to run Crysis?!

Hi all,


  today i tested the rockPro64. After some time, 30 minutes more or less, I checked the system status and saw the temperature was between 80º and 85º C whit htop command (armbian). The rockPro64 didn't be stressed  and the use of cpu was very normal.

I read than 80ºC is a hight temperature for a rockPro64. Anyone have any experience like that? 80ºC is a normal temperature for the rockPro64? Is strongly recommended a fan or a healtsink? Is possible that htop is readding a wrong value? because this situation has no sense.

I just tested today if the standard desktop application Linphone works.

I did a

I've just installed the Manjaro - Posh beta 8 from here:

Who knows the unlock passcode since is not the usuale 12346?
Thanks

Hi,

this is not really specific to Mobian but I have noticed that activity on Pine64 forum for the Pinephone is very low. Instead if I look at the Telegram channel, it's quite active.

It's super easy to post on Telegram for example but then everything which is discussed there is not really useful: there is a lot of "noise" because all different channels are bridged together. OK I can still make a search but it's not as useful as what I read on the forum. The only way is to follow all the messages from the day to try to dig some useful information... I have other things to do than read all these messages, where most of them are useless.

I think this is in the end not in the interest of the project. Would there any way to improve this situation?


Thanks
