Hello, I'm playing with my new PineTab2. The question below is for DanctNIX, the default OS as shipped.

I wanted to play a DRM content (Netflix), the FAQ on https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab2_FA...as_Netflix? seems promising and points to "yay -S widevine-aarch64".

But the "widevine-aarch64" seems to be not available anymore, yay answers "No AUR package for found for widevine-aarch64". It is also not listed when I search for widevine in AUR, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&S...&submit=Go . Note that there is "widevine-armv7h" (for 32-bit ARM).

Searching, I found https://github.com/AsahiLinux/widevine-installer . But the README says clearly "Using Widevine requires glibc version 2.36 or later. Arch Linux ARM ships an ancient glibc version, and will not work at this time.". I see the AUR repos contain https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/glibc-widevine , I'm building it now (takes 20h to build already ). But I'm not even sure is this a good direction -- that is, should I install glibc-widevine from AUR and then hope for https://github.com/AsahiLinux/widevine-installer to work, or this is a doomed approach? I realize that upgrading GLIBC on my system is risky -- I'm ready for it (I can just reinstall the system), unless it is just known to not lead me toward the goal (Netflix on PineTab2).

The summary of my question is: Is there a way to play DRM content (Netflix) on PineTab2 now? If yes, how?

Hi all,

The second time I turned on my PBP, it wouldn't boot (power status LED was flashing green/red).
I was able to boot to Armbian from microSD by disabling the eMMC, and tried to reinstall Manjaro ARM to the eMMC using this installer.
After putting in the settings for the install, it threw some errors about some nonexistent files in /var/tmp, and presumably went ahead writing to /dev/mmcblk1 (It said it was setting it up for ext4).  Half an hour of nothing happening, and I stopped it.
Now when I turn the device on, the light doesn't come on at all, whether the eMMC is disabled, or not.
I'm at a loss as to what to do at this point if I can't even boot to an SD card.  Apologies for the lack of foresight in taking pictures or noting the exact error messages.

Hi,  trying to unweave what was the last version of armbian with network patches included, to get around problems with network on SOPINE running on clusterboard.  This has been a struggle with multiple references to "current" from what are now stale help topics.  Not forgetting to mention that the "current" version of armbian for the SOPINE 64 is failing its build .

Is there therefore a version /date of a distro that is known provide a pain free setup please?  That is, a version/date that has patches in and known to work?  Links perhaps please?

Understanding building a version is an option, is there therefore a full package list scratched out to use when building a minimum CLI version of armbian for the SOPINE on clusterboard please?  A list with all the right patches included?

Cheers,
B

I have Manjaro installed on the eMMC.  I used the Manjaro-ARM-xfce-pbpro-20.04-emmc-installer-20.04.img from OSDN, and then updated it.

Since then I've been able to try various operating systems on SD (eg. Ubuntu, Debian), but I can't seem to run Manjaro-ARM-xfce-pbpro-20.04.img from SD.

It's not simply that they are both Manjaro.  Manjaro-ARM-gnome-pbpro-23.02.img on SD loads.

Is there a way I can get Manjaro-ARM-xfce-pbpro-20.04.img to load without opening the computer and physically switching off the eMMC?

When I try to run Manjaro-ARM-xfce-pbpro-20.04.img off SD, the computer runs Manjaro off the eMMC and the SD shows as an external drive.

The reasons I want to run Manjaro-ARM-xfce-pbpro-20.04.img from SD is so I can update and configure it so I have back up in case the eMMC fails, and also have system where I can try things without breaking the OS on eMMC.

(Using Manjaro-ARM-xfce-pbpro-23.02.img from Manjaro's site instead wouldn't work because HDMI via USB-C only seems to work with the OSDN images.)

Any ideas?

I tried using /sys/class/power_supply/axp20x-battery/status to deduce whether my phone was in charging or discharging mode. My goal is to write a script that can notify me when electricity is out. However, it seems that status goes to Discharging when it reaches 100%. Is there another way I can detect if I have a power cable with electricity plugged in to my device that works better than checking the status on the battery as I do above?

Hi there i've messed up with my spi
I'm able to boot the netbsd emmc only shorting the pin 20-21.How can i reset as a default spi?
I do not want to connect via the serial console but just run the NETBSD 10RC1 and connect via ssh
Any tips would be very appreciated

Hello, 
I bought this Tip Shape-1BC and I have always maintained my soldering tips very well, this one broke down and I cannot finish my project. do not specify that I leave always a little solder at the end of the tips to preserve them and heat to 340 degrees maximum.I have a project going on that I can't finish. This is not normal!

Our article today is all about RISC-V Interrupts on the tiny adorable Pine64 Ox64 BL808 64-bit Single-Board Computer (based on Bouffalo Lab BL808 SoC)…

(1) What’s inside the Platform-Level Interrupt Controller (PLIC)
(2) Setting up the PLIC at startup
(3) Enabling the PLIC Interrupt for Serial Console
(4) Handling PLIC Interrupts for UART Input

We’ll walk through the steps with a simple barebones operating system: Apache NuttX RTOS (Real-Time Operating System). Though we’ll hit a bumpy journey with our work-in-progress NuttX on Ox64…

(5) Leaky Writes seem to affect adjacent PLIC Registers
(6) Interrupt Claim doesn’t seem to work right

Wondering if anyone can help out. I have a Pinephone and an older version of the dock, however, I am in a remote location and need an ethernet port on my laptop. When plugging in the Pinedock into my laptop, the USB ports seem to work fine, but there is no power on the Ethernet port. Is there any way to make the dock worth on a laptop with Windows 10?

Thanks in advance for the help.
