What are the options for bootloaders diectly loaded onto the SPI of the pinebook PRO. The goal of this thread is to get a comprehensive list of the options avaliable as the information for this is spread far and wide after 4 years. Please list the name and version number of the bootloader and its advantages and disadvatages. Personal experiences welcome.
I wanted to dust off my PinePhone (developer edition, I think)(not the Pro, for sure), but I think I "locked" it.
What I did :
- I flashed "Jump Drive" on SD card,
- booted on SD card,
- plugged it to my PC
- runned `dd if=<postmarketos-image.iso> of="sdc`.
Now, I have PostmarketOS loading screen, but it never loads.
I think PostmaketOS does not load because I never installed TwoBoot. (did not know, too bad)
Right ?
I can't boot on SD card anymore.
Is it because of my ` dd` ? The boot order was replaced ?
Am I missing something ?

I was working on https://github.com/yogo1212/arch-linux-star64 when I realized I was no longer getting any UART activity from my Star64.
I've tried multiple adapters but had no success.
It was working when I tested my OpenSBI build.
Is there anything that might disable the UART functionality?
Fishwaldo's image still boots and works - just no UART output.
Hello, I have a Pinephone with Mobian. Although megapixel works in it, no other program tells me the camera. I have tried "Camera", "Authenticator" or "Decoder", and I can't get it. Could someone help me get them to work?
I am trying to install Debian on the RockPro64 and I am having trouble getting the wifi drivers to be recognized by the installer. Without these I can not finish installing the OS.
At present I have tried formatting a USB stick to FAT32 and adding the files from here to a folder named "firmware" on the USB stick however the installer can not identify these files and keeps throwing an error stating the following files are missing:
I can't install the OS without getting the wifi working so I am not entirely sure how to go about rectifying this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I be using a different OS? Is it a requirement to have a wired internet connection when you first install Debian?
If there are no other options I can go somewhere with a wired connection and install the OS and try and get the wifi firmware installed once the OS is already installed however I would like to avoid that if possible.
Can anyone help? Someone told me what they were once and I forgot.
I have the latest Mobian installed and Plasma Mobile ui as I prefer it, no mandatory running apps shortcuts on the drawer and it's just more appealing to the eye.
But I don't have a need to bloat down the system with two ui's.
Hey everyone, I recently got the Pine Dock, and to be honest it's been a game changer for me, however there are two issues, HDMI isn't working, and no network through the rj-45.
Being a jack of all trades, but master of none... I do not have the knowledge to figure out these two issues. The primary issue I wish to fix is the network.

Anyone else experience these issues?
My Pinephone broke and I switched to Droidian, but I don't think this is a Droidian-specific question. Forgive me if it turns out to be irrelevant.
Anyway, my on-screen keyboard works fine on most apps, but I installed both Nextcloud client and Chromium browser, and in both cases, focusing on a text field doesn't cause the keyboard to deploy. The common denominator here is that both of these apps use QT and not GTK, and I assume this is relevant.
Has any one had this issue, and if so, how did you resolve it?
Under bookworm, the keyboard icon appears at the bottom right of the screen when you activate an application with which you can use it, but under trixie the keyboard icon doesn't appear.
What configuration needs to be activated for the keyboard icon to appear at the bottom right of the screen?
I recently bought a pinebook pro and was surprised how old the manjaro installation was
I've tried to update using both the gui and pacman -Syu
but i'm getting the error:
error: linux: signature from "Furkan Kardame <furkan@fkardame.com>" is unknown trust :: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-6.6.7-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PG
P signature)).
Is there any way to update the factory image safely?
I can just flash the emmc I am pretty confident I can do this.
This is just a curiosity of purchasing a pinebook pro in 2024
