Hi there,

For those who wants to take out the most performance out of the rk3399 on your RockPro64, I have here a u-boot and a DTS where on Manjaro works perfectly.

This includes a 1.6GHz on the little cores, a 2.2GHz on the big cores, and 1GHz on the GPU, as well as setting the RAM to 933MHz LPDDR4.

Please find it on the Pine64 > rock64 discord channel:
https://discord.com/channels/46323792798...1534507058

Here are the gains:

GPU and CPU stressed out in a roshambo case, no more than 70ºC.

Unfortunately, on Batocera which I'm most interested, there's no audio using this u-boot.
Any help will be appreciated to fix this on Batocera.

Please note that it's not my work, I just followed these threads and info available:

So, credits to them.

I have a setup running 4 Pine 1 boards (the first board developed by Pine).  Earlier this year I purchased a Rock64-2G as well as the power supply listed in the Pine website to use for the Rock64.  I also downloaded the Armbian software listed for the Rock64 on the Pine website.  Using the Etcher executable on Windows I installed Armbian on a micro sdcard.  Then after plugging a ethernet plug, an HDMI plug, a keyboard and mouse and finally the power cord.  A red light on the card turns on but nothing appears on the HDMI terminal.  Again, this setup works fine for my Pine 1 boards.  Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Looking at selling my Pinebook Pro, it's a later 2022/4GB RAM/64GB EMMC model with the standard Manjaro install with uboot. Flashed with the updated keyboard and trackpad firmware. I'm thinking since I'm in Canada I could help save someone the shipping costs of buying new if there's interest. I have tow-boot ready on an SD card if the potential buyer would like to have tow-boot flashed to the SPI, since I recently removed it.

I'm not sure if there's a standard format for selling through here, but I have a paypal account setup that I've sold hardware over on Reddit's hardware swaps through so I'm familiar with that process and the associated buyer protection. Pick up is available if you're in Western Canadad and up for a drive but I live in a relatively small city, PM me if you're interested!

Presently I have 2 Pinephones.  I'd like to pack some custom electronics into the phone rather than rely on the USB connector.  The USB is nice, but basically I'm searching for some kind of customized back case that is large enough to pack in an additional circuit board or sensor.

Alternatively, if there are any CAD files for the official case, then I could use them to try and 3D-print what I have in mind.

Any thoughts on where to start?

My PineTime talk was accepted to FOSDEM.

The topic of the talk is more for beginners, but this will be compensated with discussion after the talk and by personal contact. Feel free to reach me for some small talk or a beer.

The monthly updates are still pop up. I just forgot to post it here:

December update will show up by the end of the year.

Unfortunately, everything is going slowly. Qt6 porting is still in progress. Biggest achievement is probably Qt6 port of Maliit keyboard.

Hi,

I am selling a pinebook pro and can deliver in the EU. I am a windows guy, and ambitiously bought it with great intentions of tinkering etc. but I did not end up doing much with it.

Price: €90 + €20 shipping in the EU. I am based in Ireland, so if someone local wants to collect that's fine, or delivery should be cheaper.

• 64gb flash
  
• Default Manjaro install

Pine64 Ox64 BL808 (64-bit RISC-V SBC) is now officially supported in Apache NuttX RTOS! (Real-Time Operating System)

Ox64 BL808 is an affordable $8 SBC with:
- 3 x RISC-V Cores (T-Head 64-bit / 32-bit)
- Networking: Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth LE, Zigbee
- Peripheral Interfaces: UART (Serial), I2C, SPI, USB, MIPI CSI
- Interrupt Controller: CLINT and PLIC
- Memory Management: Sv39 MMU
- OpenSBI Supervisor Binary Interface and U-Boot Bootloader
- Bootable microSD: Boot Linux and NuttX

But there's a catch:
- Limited RAM (64 MB): It's not for gaming and servers
- Flash Memory is Empty: Needs a One-Time Flashing (via a USB Serial Adapter)
- Barebones Form Factor: Fits on a Breadboard, Ethernet is optional

In this article we walk through the steps to:
(1) Flash into Ox64 the U-Boot Bootloader and OpenSBI
(2) Boot Linux on a microSD Card
(3) Do the same to boot NuttX RTOS
(4) Run some Bare Metal Experiments inside the NuttX Kernel

Does anybody know where or what package is used to control power management like what application get what power and how much from the battery, or what what chip gets assigned power and how much?

I can't boot my newly received Pinephone Pro into the Factory Test Build for Hardware Checking linked to by the phone's wiki page. I've verified the md5 hash of the downloaded image, and tried two SD cards. The accompanying instructions on that wiki page seem to be out of date, referring to an "RE button" that is only on phones sold between January and July 2022, according to other sections of the same page. Here's the procedure I've pieced together for my phone and attempted:

1. Download file and verify md5 hash.
   
2. Gunzip it.
   
3. sudo dd if=pinephone_pro_dd_android9_QC_Test_SDboot_20220215-8GB.img of=/dev/sdb bs=1M status=progress conv=fsync
   
4. Put the SD card in the phone.
   
5. Power on / buzz once.
   
6. Hold volume down, wait for another buzz, and release.
   
7. LED changes to blue.
   
8. At this point it should boot from the SD card, but it buzzes and flashes red and yellow, and boots into the stock Manjaro with Plasma Mobile.
