Need some assistance or a pointer in the right direction...

I have the UBports Edition and I have a desire to move to Mobian on my phone.  Can someone point me in the right direction on how to remove the UBports Touch O/S, install the latest release of Mobian and also obtain the latest firmware for my Pine64 UBports Edition hardware? 

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide!

i'm excited about this phone. it is my daily driver. calls are a little glitchy but O.K. .my problem is i can't get the camera to save my pics to photos. can someone help.

Standard edition is documented here: https://pine64.com/product/pinetab-10-1-...46c16e2e66

Excellent condition; only turned on a few times for tinkering.  No destructive changes to the software configuration or firmware configuration were made.  Everything is in the box as it was received.

Installed with testing OS only.  All tests passed.

It is your responsibility to install a fully functional operating system.  (Ask around in #pinetab in irc.pine64.org )

Reason for sale

I am looking after my daugher full time.  As much as I would love to keep this, in reality, due to my lifestyle (I am a 42 year-old family man with a wife and four-year old old daughter) I simply have no time for tinkering with new hardware.  (An Apple Macbook or Lenovo Thinkpad would be the most sensible and productive choice at this stage of my career.)

ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS WELCOME!!  I am a very sociable and reasonable trader, and it's in my interest to make a sale that benefits everybody!!  After I sell this Pinetab, I will most certainly be returning to the Pine64 community at some point in the not-distant future.

Pre-orders for the PinePhone BETA Edition start March 24.

Thank you to the UBPorts developers for all the hard work creating a stable operating system with a very nice user interface.



I'm wondering about the kernel versions that are in each upgrade channel.

• The stable channel (18 March 2021) has kernel version 5.6.0
  
• The Kernel Upgrade has kernel version 5.10.19
  
• The Development channel (versions 439-448) has kernel version 5.6.0
  

Greetings to you.
  I want to write here my thoughts on the topic of your product. I mean a smartphone.
  I think that your decision to release a smartphone completely on your own is a rather bold decision in the modern conditions of the capitalist market. I mean Samsung and Apple. They invest tens of billions of US dollars in their production every year. This allows them to make smartphones that are pleasant to hold in their hands.
 You cannot compete with them at the device level. This is not an insult, but an objective fact. Therefore, I suggest you choose a different path of your development. You can use well-known and popular smartphone models as blanks. For example, recently released a good smartphone Samsung A52. Its price is not high, and there are already videos on YouTube showing how easy it is to assemble or disassemble. You can install pure Linux on these smartphones, and it will be a really successful business model for many years to come.
 For example, you offer a list of smartphones that you can install Linux on on your website. A person chooses a smartphone that he likes and places an order with prepayment. You purchase such a smartphone, perform all the work related to the installation and configuration of Linux on it. And then you ship the finished product to the customer.
 I think that making smartphones on your own, these days, is too expensive and not necessary at all.
 You should focus on trading off-the-shelf Linux devices, and testing the devices in your labs. It will bring you respect among the high-tech professionals, and popularity in the market among buyers.
P.S.
 I am not an employee of any organization or brand. I'm a regular customer. It's my personal opinion.

I booted mainline Arch Linux  kernel 5.11 and did not see the audio.

Tried with latest Armbian 5.10-21-rockchip64 and saw no audio either. 

aplay -l shows the following both with and without the DAC hat:

Has anyone gotten the "reset" command to work in U-Boot (v2021.01) for Pine64?

I've tried for days combinations of enabling and disabling PSCI, SYSRESET, and DM_RESET. I've applied and removed various reset patches from people like Chris Blake in 2017 and again in 2019.

Either the SoC enters an infinite loop walking a DM tree, or a message stating reset isn't supported on the board.

Let's not ask what combination of CONFIG_* flags I've set, because I've tried permutations of them all.

Has anyone, anywhere, gotten the SoPine (on a clusterboard) or Pine64-LTS to actually restart as if the reset button had been pressed? What are your defconf settings? What version in U-Boot? Thx!

I have the mobian community edition.

I just got the phone yesterday. After I tried to update unsuccessfully from the software app, I found from mobian doc that I need to do the first update via the terminal (and using dist-upgrade) and keep the screen on to avoid been locked.

So I kept touching the screen regularly but what I did not expect is that touching near the battery icon would immediatly power off the phone.

As I tried to power it on again, after unlocking cryptsetup, the session starts but very quickly I have a graphical essage saying something went wrong and there is a button to close the session but that eventually powers the phone off. If I power on again, same result, so I am stuck.

How to fix that and start the phone again?
