  emmc doesnt show up on pc using jumpdrive
Posted by: Bruhmoment - 11-06-2020, 02:14 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (4)

Hey guys, received my Pinephone a couple of days ago and decided to flash Mobian to the emmc, but encountered
an issue.

I followed these guides:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seLfbIIAycc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw3FFz7o-MU

They both use Jumpdrive and Etcher to flash the image and it seemed like the easiest way to go about the installation.
I've flashed Jumpdrive to an SD card I had lying around and managed to boot into it, but after I connected the Pinephone
through a cable to the PC, the emmc did not show up on Etcher like it did in both of these videos.
I tried installing a Manjaro VM to see if it's a Windows 10 problem but the phone still doesnt show up.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?


  Delivery Time?
Posted by: mlnease - 11-06-2020, 01:25 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (16)

Hello,

I ordered a Pinephone several days ago and received a receipt for my order.  I'd like to know when to expect my order (I paid for the $25 shipping option) in the US but Pinephone has given me no ETA and has not responded to multiple email requests.  Can anyone tell me when my order will be shipped and how long I should expect it to take?

Thanks in advance.


  ARM Version of libttspico-utils?
Posted by: Lousy Fisherman - 11-06-2020, 12:23 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (1)

I am trying to port the Kalliope voice assistant to Mobian as Kalliope works on Debian x86. The only issue I have found so far is I cannot find an ARM version of the pico TTS (text to speech) utility library. Before I try and build it myself I figured I would ask if anyone knows of a prebuilt ARM version. Any distros version would help.

TIA

So I got FDE mostly working, according to https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=security that guide. It's rather involved and the guide isn't complete.

edit - apparently I'm super late to the party - this script is a more complete version of what I've been doing.
https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2027389

A small addendum follows, since the guide is incomplete. It assumes a debian laptop with the target image mounted at /mnt/target. G

If you're running this on your x86(_64) computer, you will need qemu-user-mode emulation, but don't fret. It's super easy. Use your package manager to install 'binfmt-support' and 'qemu-user-static' (or whatever your distro calls it - check pkgs.org). You should have a binary in /usr/bin/ called qemu-aarch64-static or something like that. Copy it to your target, i.e. /mnt/target/.

Copy your /etc/resolv.conf into the target as well. Then bind mounts to get things like update-initramfs working:

  • mount --types proc /proc /mnt/target/proc
  • mount --rbind /dev /mnt/target/dev
  • mount --rbind /sys /mnt/target/sys
Next, you'll need to download a file - the 'osk-sdl' keyboard package - from this releases page. It's a precompiled .deb for arm64. Since you're now root inside your image, you can just wget the latest release and then run apt install ./osk-sdk_arm64.deb -y to install the package. You WILL need to remove the cryptsetup-initramfs package, if the , so 'apt remove' it.

Run update-initramfs -u, and then edit /etc/default/u-boot with an editor (vim/nano). You will need to replace the U_BOOT_PARAMETERS with this line:

U_BOOT_PARAMETERS="osk-sdl-root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 osk-sdl-root-name=pine root=/dev/mapper/pine console=ttyS0,115200 consoleblank=0 loglevel=7 rw plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles vt.global_cursor_default=0"

This will instruct the bootloader, u-boot, to use osk-sdl during the boot process. Next run u-boot-update for u-boot to regenerate its config file from the one you just edited. The config file lives in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf for mobian.

Make sure you also edit this file and ensure that the 'append' line does not begin with 'root=UUID....'. If so, just that section, and make sure osk-sdl's entries are first. Mine looks like this:
append osk-sdl-root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 osk-sdl-root-name=pine root=/dev/mapper/pine console=ttyS0,115200 consoleblank=0 loglevel=7 rw plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles vt.global_cursor_default=0


I've noticed every time u-boot-update runs it will add 'root=UUID=.....' to the append line. I just go into the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf and delete it, and it seems to now work fine.

If you're flashing to the emmc, replace /dev/mmcblk0p2 with /dev/mmcblk2p2.


Some quirks compared to PostmarketOS: If you enter your LUKS passphrase wrong, you have to reboot and try again. The keyboard behaves very weirdly after a failure.

Let me know if FDE on Mobian works for you?


  Axolotl on PinePhone / Mobian
Posted by: arno_nuehm - 11-06-2020, 11:24 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (223)

Hello there,

from v1.1.0 on the Axolotl Debian arm64 package files can be found in the Release Assets section of the official Axolotl Github page since cross-compiling and packaging is now done fully autmatically via Github workflow.

https://github.com/nanu-c/axolotl/releases

Please be aware that you can only use one primary device/registration in the Signal server world - Axolotl works as such primary device/registration.

And please feel free to post some feedback, if you like, and also check out the Mobian Wiki for Axolotl:

https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=axolotl

Old packages still can be found here on my Github page

  Problem with EMMC bootup and detection
Posted by: khantheengr - 11-06-2020, 01:47 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - Replies (6)

Hello guys,
I have recently bought PINEA64-lts boards with EMMC modules of 16gb. I am having trouble interfacing them now. When I burn any image on EMMC ( I have tried several), it dosen't boot from EMMC. The same image when I burn onto SD card,  it starts booting. When only EMMC is inserted PINE64 shows black screen and there is no sign of booting process. Can you please help me out.

I have also tried auyfan's image on SD card. and when I insert EMMC onto PINEA64-lts and check EMMC status, it gets detected with uenv.txt "mmc_compact=on". But when i burn the same image on EMMC and repeat all of above process, boot process does not start.

I am using pine64 usb programmer to program the emmc modules. and i ordered everything from the pine64 official site. EMMC has FORESEE 16 GB IC on it.

When i plugin emmc module in laptop using programmer, it always gets detected and there is no problem in programming the EMMC module.

I am newbie here, hope you guys will guide me well.... Thanks in advacnce


  I don't like heart rate sensors.
Posted by: 11Eleven - 11-05-2020, 06:21 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (6)

I don't like 'em and I don't trust 'em.

I used to have a pebble watch and I wore that thing for years! Best watch I ever had, I was disappointed when the company got sold, support slowly dwindled and now it's just over.. Last year, I got a Fosil hybrid which was nice-looking, but I just don't want that flashing green light on my skin all day. Every smart watch has that "feature" now and it can't even be turned off! On top of that, you have to agree to the companies collecting and selling your biometric data to unknown entities, maybe they're even selling it to THE BEAST. Who knows?! So, hopefully the pine time could fill the void Pebble left behind. Let us buy a model without the heart-rate monitor, or be able to switch it off and have a bit more control over our privacy, if that's still even a thing.  Big Grin


Information Receiving Call During Sleep Experiment/Experience
Posted by: RTP - 11-05-2020, 03:38 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

My Experience And Update To Receiving Calls During Sleep:

My Pinephone model: UBports Community Edition Hardware

Several weeks back I tested out receiving calls during deep sleep. I had no trouble receiving or making calls whatsoever (while phone was awake). During deepsleep calling from a landline, the earpiece would always ring on the caller end. No ring would show up on the Pinephone (under deep sleep). Basically, receiving calls during deepsleep did not work for me then.

Yesterday I downloaded a new image since @a-wai 's  announced "transition."

Code:
uname -a

Linux mobian 5.9-sunxi64 #3 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov3 16:24:16 UTC 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I retested calling during by putting power saving mode on sleep after 5min idle.

I waited 30 minutes and made a call to my Mobian Pinephone using a landline.

Here is what I noticed during testing Nov 5, 2020 using an AT&T network:

  1. As the first ring happened over my landline earpiece, Pinephone lit up showing wifi signal connected (no ring from Pinephone yet),
  2. Then cellular bars showed connecting, to connected
  3. After the 6th ring on my landline earpiece, the Pinephone screen went black again and the 1st ringing sound then began between 6 & 7th ring on the landline earpiece (screen still black but ringing sound came through giving me ability to pickup the call Smile).
  4. The Pinephone did ring/wakeup from sleep for the last ring! This was on my first call. I repeated this process/log twice under sleep.

To sum it up: My Pinephone itself does successfully wakeup/ring on the very last 1 or 2 rings for me. Of course you have to pick it up right away (or you can call the number back).

This is good news for me.

I'm not sure if other carriers behave differently (I am not a telecom expert). Maybe comparing/noting reports/phone behavior can lead to finding potential ideas/solutions (if others have an issue).
