| Pinephone mainboard v1.2 documentation update? |
|

Hi!
This thread may go out to the pine64 crew...
Maybe it would be possible to get an update on the mainboard placement documents.
Code: PinePhone mainboard bottom placement v1.1 20191031.pdf
PinePhone mainboard top placement v1.1 20191031.pdf
There's still v1.1 available in the wiki, but it would be nice to get these documents referenced to the v1.2 boards.
Another thing to mention is, that it would be really nice to know about the exact position of the testpoints.
This might be helpful for debugging and low-level programming... or weird addons.
So far i made a list with the schematics as a reference.
v1.2 mainboard bottom:
Code: in the middle nearby the mpu (U1, upper left):
T500 -> CPUS-UTX (AR100 UART TX, disabled in crust, used as WL-PMU-EN)
T501 -> CPUS-URX (AR100 UART RX, disabled in crust, used as WL-WAKE-AP)
T502 -> HDMI-CEC
T503 -> FEL (pull low to enter FEL mode, USB-Boot)
next to ANX7688 (U1304):
T1300 -> ANX_CSDA
T1302 -> ANX_CSDL
T1502 -> GPIO0 (ANX7688
v1.2 mainboard top:
Code: beneath J1101:
T1100 -> CTP-RST
T1101 -> CTP-INT
T1102 -> TWI0-SDA
T1103 -> TWI0-SCK
T1104 -> GPIO0-LDO (VCC-3V)
above J1200:
T1202 -> POWKEY
T1203 -> VOL-
T1204 -> VOL+
next to J1300:
T1 -> USB0-DP
T2 -> USB0-DM
T3 -> DCIN
T4 -> VBAT
in the middle nearby the modem (U1500):
T1503 -> HTXCN
T1504 -> HTXCP
T1505 -> HTX0N
T1506 -> HTX0P
T1600 -> 4K7_PD
T1601 -> USB_BOOT
The group of the HDMI signal pairs are just a guess, as we don't know the position yet.
The only reference i found in the wiki were the USB_BOOT (Modem) pins...
The craziest thing ever would be, if the board-files (e.g. gerber-data) could be shared...
Best regards,
scholbert

| App dev on mobian |

Not sure where to post this, but I'm having trouble getting my app working on mobian, works ok on a desktop.
I'm making a geocaching app for mobian and it's mostly working except when clicking on caches on the map, double clicking to zoom in doesn't work either.
A current build can be found here: http://files.evilbunny.org/geocachingapp.deb
The app is far from finished, so far you can login and download caches and move the map about by clicking and dragging. If you run it on a desktop you can click on a cache and it outputs to stdout the cache ID, pinching to zoom on mobian doesn't seem to work either.
The signal to detect clicks on the markers is "button-release-event", I'm not sure if this signal is being sent to apps based on touches, and libchamplain doesn't seem to track/pass on "clicked" events to marker objects.
Any help would be much appreciated.

| power light blinking during charge when pbpro is off |

Hi guys,
I recently noticed a strange behavior with my pinebook pro and I hope it's not a sign that the charge module is giving out...
So problem is the orange power light that indicates charge is blinking when I try to charge my pinebook pro, but it does'nt do that when the pinebook pro is on...
It did not do that even a day ago so I'm kinda baffled, I also recently updated the pinebook pro so maybe this has been updated along?
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue?
Edit: I've browsed the forum and it looks like other people are having charging/power issues with the latest updates as well, I hope this is related because I haven't read any issue exactly similar to mine, this is kinda re-ensuring tho...

| Does convergence dock have to be 'activated' in software? |

Hi, I have the Manjaro convergence package, just getting started with the phone. I read it's very important to do an update first thing, there is indeed a bunch of wonky stuff going on. I have the dock plugged in and powered, but the screen says "undocked". Was hoping to update through ethernet via the dock at home, that is my strongest known internet variable. Do you have to activate the dock in software? thanks
Edit: I also note that the battery power is diminishing, although power is plugged into the dock. Which would make sense as the phone is not seeing the dock.

I have loaded many different Operating systems and while I can get ATT / Cricket to work well ,I have had no luck what so ever getting any OS to recognize the T-mobile Sim. Tried loading atinout, modem manger and other software to no avail. I am trying to avoid using the modem update software since I don't want to risk trashing the modem. Heck, flashing my Bio makes me nervous. Has anyone found a way around my problem?

| Pogo pins power clarification - reading schematics |
|

The wiki seems unclear to me. Wiki - Pogo Pins [edit: link to an old version of the wiki page before changes that were made as a result of this thread. See also the old diagram image ]
There's an image describing the pinout, and there's a breakout board design which seems to match.
Code: INT SDA SCL
VBUS VBAT GND
Below that, the wiki says
Quote:The VBUS pin is powered by USB and is 5V at up to 500mA. The second power pin is VBAT, which connects to the battery voltage.
I wonder what "connects to battery voltage" means...
Looking at schematics and datasheets...
I don't see the pogo pins labeled on the physical mainboard. If I put together the component placement drawing (or the pinout on the wiki) with the schematics, I suppose the pinout goes like this.
Code: PIN6 PIN2 PIN4
PIN5 PIN1 PIN3
or
Code: INT SDA SCL
USB-5V DCIN GND
Now...
DCIN: DCIN from J1300 (40PIN) on the mainboard connects to VBUS on J101 (40PIN) on the USB-C small board, which goes to VBUS on J101 (USB_TYPE_C_RECEPTACLE). So DCIN would be the 5V input from a USB-C charger. It goes to ACIN1/ACIN2/VBUS on U600 (AXP803 PMIC). If ACIN/ACIN2/VBUS is available, the AXP803 uses that as the power source and charges the battery. DCIN also goes to pogo PIN1.
USB-5V: PS (IPSOUT? Power Supply?) comes from U600 (AXP803 PMIC) and feeds L606 (LP6226CB6F boost converter), to make USB-5V. USB-5V arrives at pogo PIN5.
DCIN and USB-5V loop: Don't know exactly how this works, but if DRVVBUS is enbled, USB-5V actually provides DCIN through U1302 (LPW5206H USB power loading switch). So we can provide a 5V output for a USB device on the USB-C small board J101 (USB_TYPE_C_RECEPTACLE).
VBAT: In schematics, VBAT comes from J600 (the battery connector). Pretty sure it never touches pogo PIN1/DCIN nor pogo PIN5/USB-5V. The wiki calls pogo PIN1 "VBAT".
Questions:
- Is that a good read? Did I get it wrong?
- Did I get the pinout right? Why are PIN1 and PIN2 in the middle?
- Does USB-5V/PIN5/VBUS provide a 5V output up to 500 mA?
- Is DCIN/PIN1/VBAT a 5V input for powering the device and charging the battery?
- What happens if you connect a 5V input to DCIN/PIN1/VBAT and to the USB-C connector at the same time? Would that short together two power sources?
- "VBAT, which connects to the battery voltage" would make me think that pogo PIN1 basically connects to the positive battery terminal VBAT. Not true though, right?
Reason for asking: Obviously I'd like to use the pogo pins. But we should also clarify the wiki.

Manjaro - KDE/Plasma - Random Crash |

Hi everyone!
KWIN often crash on my PBP in ramdom place (control pannel, Dolphin when copying files and folders, etc.)
More often when using the non-default theme.
I am using Manjora with fr_CA-URF8 locales. (French - Canada).
What sould I look at to help find the cause of this?
Manjaro on XFCE seems more stable but I didn't test it as much as KDE/Plasma.
Thanks.
