  red charge light goes out
Posted by: gilwood - 01-31-2024, 06:38 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (19)

Just got my PBP yesterday. It doesn't seem to matter whether I use the barrel charger or usb the red light goes out after being on for 1-2 hours. If the battery is not charged completely and I have power supplied to the unit should it boot? Press the start button and will not turn on. Any ideas on issues? Any help is appreciated. Thanks


  PineTime turns off when removed from cradle
Posted by: tynstar - 01-31-2024, 11:57 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - No Replies

Last week I got my sealed PineTime. I could connect to it using GadgetBridge from my Android Phone and flash it with InfiniTime 1.14.0.

It seems to work fine in general - but only while it's in the charging cradle!

The moment I remove it from the cradle, ...

  • I can no longer wake the watch by tapping the screen.

  • I can no longer wake the watch by pressing the physical button. It doesn't matter how long I press - I tried short, a few seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds

  • GadgetBridge says that the watch is no longer connected.

  • Re-running the bluetooth device search in GadgetBridge does not find the watch either.
    I also tried removing the device from GadgetBridge first. In that case, the device shows up in the search results. When I do not connect but remove the watch from its cradle, the device disappears from the search results page instantly.

When I put the watch back on the cradle, I get the Pine64 logo animation (being filled with green), then the watch face appears. The watch still has my settings. At that point, GadgetBridge can connect to it again just fine (or find it in case I removed the device earlier).

While it's in the cradle, when I navigate to the on-device "Battery" screen, it mostly reports a battery level of 99% and that it is charging with 3.4 volts. Sometimes the value displayed there is about 80% instead, and I think I saw it claimed charging at ~4 volts at that time. Once, I also saw an alleged battery level of 0% in GadgetBridge.

In a thread about a similar problem, I read the advice of completely draining the watch battery over the course of 7 days. However, that probably has not happened yet as it's been only about 5 or 6 days. I checked the watch again today, so I will have to wait 7+ more days from now. Anyway, once I have done that, what are the exact steps I should take?


  RK3399 PCIe enumeration
Posted by: jhadd - 01-31-2024, 08:56 AM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - No Replies

I have a custom PCIe x4 lane card that I'm trying to integrate with a RockPro64 SBC. This custom card has been tested with many users on different platforms including a linux x86 system. When I try this card in a RK3399 system, I get a strange result when I view the assigned address space with the lspci command. It appears the address assigned is the exact value of the BAR address size for each BAR. If I change the BAR size the assigned address changes to that value. Below is a dmesg dump along with a lspci output for my device. Device is  [ad00:001e]. Any guidance?

Heart Wow! So happy to see this site working again!

Thank you so much to all admins, moderators, whomever is responsible for bringing it back up!  

I can almost imagine how much work and anxiety was involved.


  wifi with caveats
Posted by: frtodd - 01-30-2024, 04:49 PM - Forum: PineTab Hardware - Replies (3)

I thought this might have been what took the forums down! :-) But it seems no one had posted yet:

This Mastodon post tells how to activate wifi with the updated driver:
https://fosstodon.org/@phundrak@emacs.ch...9643222233

WARNING: This activates the testing repo which means you get bleeding-edge updates.

In this case, the only bleeding edge I have found is that sleep mode just hangs. I have to power off the device and back on if I accidentally try to let it sleep (by, for example, closing the cover). 

So it's definitely not perfect. But it works, and works quite well in my few days of playing with it.

It makes the Pinetab a whole new device for me!


  Quartz64 seeming died
Posted by: Darin755 - 01-19-2024, 07:29 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Quartz64 - No Replies

So I was playing around with my Quartz64 board and I did a reboot and it didn't come back up. All I get now is the power led but there is not activity on the display or network. I don't know what I did but I'm hoping it didn't just randomly die. 

Has anyone had something like this happen? If so, how did you fix it? I really hope the answer isn't to buy another one.

  Manjaro network problem late 2023
Posted by: acruhl - 01-19-2024, 05:24 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

I have Manjaro installed on both eMMC and NVME in my Pinebook Pro. 

At some point in the last few weeks or month maybe, networking stopped working on both installs. I get the box with the red icon on the bottom.

I plug in a known good USB WiFi dongle, but it doesn't show up in ifconfig or "ip a". 

Dmesg does show the device connecting.

I assume something broke in Manjaro.

I have Armbian on a MicroSD card and there are no network problems with it.

Has anyone seen this?


  Anyone require a apple-sleek NAS case, w/ ample passive cooling & mutliple ssds?
Posted by: dairymilkbatman - 01-19-2024, 02:17 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - No Replies

I hadn't realized but I had spent an inordinate amount of time on a project for my rockpro64 NAS. So much so, that I thought it maybe of use to others since, through its many iterations, it has become nicely refined, maybe to the extent of a viable product.

I designed it out of a block of aluminium.
it had to be passive cooled to be in a heavily dusty environment.
it would be working hard, and in a hot workshop. As a result it had to have ample cooling, for chips and ram.
It turned out rather sleek like, apple esc due to the nature of how I chose to passively cool it.
Had to house and protect 3 SSD's.

Huh Do I have to host pics to post them here?


  uboot wont boot to SD card after upgrade
Posted by: jbradley419 - 01-18-2024, 08:47 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (7)

can someone tell me how to revert to an older version of U-Boot or upgrade to a working version?  I am currently running version 2023.07+dfsg-1.  It will no longer boot from an SD card.   I put a screen shot with the errors then after it flashes like it is adjusting video then boots.  I does then same on reboot but get stuck at the flashing screen.

  Where PinePhone Pro are Made
Posted by: Tony90 - 01-18-2024, 12:56 AM - Forum: General - Replies (1)

Hello there,

I am new here and owner of PinePhone pro, As far as i know that Pine64 products are made in Taiwan, but when received my phone and checked the shipping tracking it was originated from Hong Kong China, even my shipment was designated to Taiwan, can someones shed the light on this.

Thanks
