My Pinebook Pro has suddenly developed boot problems.

I have Danielt's Debian installed on emmc and it was working fine until today.

Now when I press or hold the power button nothing happens.

If I insert a MicroSD card with a distro installed on it and press/hold the power button the following happens:

1. I get a red light

2. Next I get a green light and the PBP boots the image installed on the emmc rather than the image on the MicroSD card.

Any Ideas on how I can fix it so I can:

1.boot from emmc without the presence of a MicroSD card.

2. boot from SDcard when one is installed.

Looks like the 128gb eMMC does not list compatibility with the RockPro64. Any reason that it can't be used, or are there known issues with it?

I've recently had the displeasure of trying to find a USB-PD charger, having to wade through numerous "fast charging" USB chargers with no indication of whether it meant USB-PD, Qualcomm QC (never mind which revision), Samsung's Adaptive Fast Charging, or any other one from the myriad of other fast charging protocols. After finally finding one, it (unsurprisingly) still didn't work with the PinePhone, probably due to the incomplete anx7688 driver.

The recent release of the PinePower and improvements of the aforementioned driver renewed my interest, however. Has anybody tried charging their PinePhone with the PinePower? Does PD work (reliably) or does it too charge at 1.5A? Which distro and kernel version were you on?

The Rock64 has a pin for I2S1 MCLK, can this pin be used to provide an external MCLK when the I2S interface is in master mode ?
If so, I could not find any register in the documentation how to enable this (Only MUX setting). Is there any info related to the external MCLK for I2S ?

Thanks,

I can't get POE to work. I tried 3 different passive POE power injectors. No sign of life

Hello,

I have this problem - I started using my Pinephone UBPorts edition with pmOS on sdcard, and it worked well enough, but I wanted it to be a bit faster so I decied to transfer to the internal eMMC storage. I wiped the UBPorts that was present here (wipefs --all) and install pmOS via pmbootstrap running on the pinephone from the sdcard. But now, text messages wont send, does not matter whether I boot from sdcard or internal memory. Modem manager cli behaves in a weird way - 

So I've had my postmarketOS device for several months now.

About two days ago, after I shut it down, it loops to a black screen after I enter my password and the postmarketOS image appears and the kernel info shows. All that is visible is the terminal cursor blinking at the top left corner. It loops until I hard reset or runs out of battery power.

I've tried attached a microSD card to the phone per other people's advice before booting but that does not address the problem.

I don't have any images to demonstrate but I would appreciate any advice to further diagnosing the issue. It will take some time and resources, however, to obtain another Linux device that could connect to the board. Perhaps the flash memory is full?

Would it be recommended to trigger the Reset button on the back?

All -
  Ordered a new pinephone the other day, and while I wait for it to be delivered, I have been looking around to determine what toolchain I need to get cross-compilation of apps going.

Could someone point me towards some documentation or helpful info on the topic?  Not looking for a handout, just a hand.  It's been a good long while since I've done any serious dev work via crosscompiling (I think the last time I touched a crosscompiler was when I was building stuff for a Compaq iPaq running Linux), and I just want to make sure I've got the right tools in place.

Hey guys.

I setup my pinebook pro with ayufan lastest gnome focal images
I installed bsp u-boot to emmc and now can be able boot os on my NVME( ayufan focal gnome).
But I can't make deep sleep or suspend working.

I checked log, it seems pinebook pro can enter deep sleep mode but there is no way to wake it up, I have to push power button for 6 sec and boot it again.

I tried some fixes and none of theme works with nvme rootfs ( it works for emmc maybe)

So anyone can get this working?

Greetings. The title says it all, sort of. I cannot get FreeBSD to boot after reboot. Gives me this error:

[*]
mountroot: waitingMounting from ufs:/dev/ufs/rootfs failed with error 19.


My system specs:

RockchModel: Pine64 RockPro64 v2.1
U-Boot TPL 2020.10 (Jan 07 2021 - 05:00:17)
FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-ROCKPRO64-20210107-f2b794e1e90-255641.img.xz (Listed on this page:https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapsho...AGES/13.0/ )
Image uncompressed and written to eMMC module using dd

The full boot to kernel panic is posted at https://pastebin.com/BkxGCjsJ

Line 364 is where the error is printed.

The install was fresh and booted fine. The image gives you root with "root" as the password, and "generic" as the hostname. I added 2 users, changed the host name, and rebooted. Got this error several times before trying a fresh install on an SD card, then experiencing the same error on reboot. Reflashed both the SD card and eMMC module a couple of times each, did the above setup, then rebooted with the same result. According to another forum for TrueNAS other's were experiencing this and the issue was their BIOS or the newest version of BSD. You can read more about it there:

I am entirely new to BSD in any version but would like to start with running a headless FreeBSD on my home lab. I will take a step back and try previous versions but any help in diagnosing this, or manually booting, via the prompts would be appreciated. BSD is way over my head but this just seems like an exciting place to start. Thank you for your attention!

I switched images and found the one posted on December 24th, 2020 works even after reboot. (The image I was using was posted on January 7, 2020. I was confused and thought there was only one RockPro64 image. They have the same beginning and similar ends in the long link.

The working image: FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-ROCKPRO64-20201224-3cc0c0d66a0-255241.img.xz
