OS is Fedora 5.7.8-200.fc32.aarch64

I have been content to use Ethernet Networking since acquiring the Pine64. This works well. However I would like to use the cable for another project and wish to activate the Wifi board. I have googled and searched the docs for a way to do this in Fedora. Some help from the Pine64 IRC suggested the wifi module and firmware was needed. This is a very new kernel but despite a few posts that the firmware was to be integrated  - it does not seem to be the case. Can anyone suggest how to go about this in Fedora?

I'd appreciate if someone translated this into French. Thank you.

Congratulations on receiving your PineTab Early Adopters Edition! You are one of the very first to receive the PineTab - we therefore hope you’ll actively engage with developers and other community members. You have the chance to set the pace of software development by actively contributing to the process. There are multiple ways for you to engage with us including our forums, IRC, Discord, Matrix and Telegram, all of which are accessible from pine64.org.

1. Getting Started 
Our community maintains a well documented Wiki at wiki.pine64.org. The PineTab Wiki subsection is just getting built-up, but once it is complete it will include information about troubleshooting, available operating systems (OSes), hardware disassembly, adapter board installation, the PCB layout as well as many other aspects of your device. Make sure to consult it regularly and contribute to it in any way you see fit. Anyone with a PINE64 forum account (forum.pine64.org) can contribute to the Wiki.      

2. Operating System
This PineTab ships with the Ubuntu Touch operating system. Ubuntu Touch is developed and maintained by UBports Foundation and is therefore different in form, function and application compatibility to other Ubuntu Linux flavours. As the name entails, Ubuntu Touch is built with touch input in mind, but it converges to a more standard desktop when a keyboard and trackpad are attached. Ubuntu Touch is hence a perfect fit for the PineTab.

The PineTab ships with the latest Linux kernel and open source drivers. This extends to the open-source Lima GPU driver, which accelerates the Lomiri (formerly Unity8) shell. This Ubuntu Touch build has support for most hardware features of the PineTab, but it is still a work-in-progress and so you should expect bugs (which we’d appreciate if you reported). 

We suggest that you do not plug in the PineTab keyboard on the first boot. To use the keyboard, once the initial setup is complete, turn the device off and attach the keyboard; boot with the keyboard attached. From this point on you’ll be able to connect and disconnect the keyboard and switch between the touch-input UI and desktop UI. 

3. Cautions
The PineTab Early Adopters Edition is aimed at hackers and tinkerers willing to contribute to the development process.  We expect and even encourage you to experiment with the software and hardware by pushing the envelope. That said, please keep in mind that the device is under standard warranty, so breaking components during disassembly or tampering with eFUSEs is a subject to voiding your warranty. We trust this is common sense.

4. Support
You are welcome to share your experience and ask any questions you may have on our forums and in the PINE64 community chats, all of which are accessible via the Forums and Chats drop-down on our main page (pine64.org). We have also prepared a page of information to help you get started with your PineTab at wiki.pine64.org/PineTab/Early-Adopter.
For all non-software related questions please email: support@pine64.org

Have fun!

I am trying to order a Pinephone Convergence Package and two accessories. When I fill the form to calculate shipping costs I am getting the following error:

Quote:There are no shipping methods available. Please double check your address, or contact us if you need any help.

1. Should I wait till pine64 team replies?
   
2. Should I wait until pine64 team fixes the shipping costs calculation issue?
   
3. Should I ignore this and proceed with checking out the order?
   
4. Something else?
   

Morning, could not seem to find any threads that addressed this so I thought I'd start one.

I have LibreOffice (Version: 6.3.6.2) installed on the Pinebook Pro, and it works fine except for one issue.

The spellchecker says it is installed and using English US dictionary, but when the spellcheck is attempted it claims there is no dictionary available. I tried reinstalling the dictionary, then the whole LibreOffice package, changing to another dictionary, and none of these methods worked. Anyone else encountered this? Any ideas?

Thanks! Tim

Hi,

I'm trying read accelerometer sensor data from the BMA421 integrated in the PineTime64. I am refering to the datasheet provided in the [/url][url=https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=PineTime]https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=PineTime. I want to know if the datasheet https://wiki.pine64.org/images/c/cc/Bst-...-ds000.pdf that refers to BMA4000 is exactly compatible with the BMA421.

I'm programming the nRF52832 directly using the examples/twi_sensor.

Thank you in advance,

Hey I tried to find an answer for this for the last few hours but couldn't. I currently can't get any battery info or wifi or even networking on my pinebook pro.


I've booted it off an SD and the internal emmc. The iemmc is running the out the box Manjaro and the SD was running same but with lxqt on a cryptsetup.


A few days back I'd updated the thing and I think there were well over 60 packages and I don't think it was rebooted at the time.


Last night I let the battery run out after forgetting to plug it in and I'm pretty sure it did a poweroff command but anyways when I went to try it out today there's no battery information that can be gotten and nothing is showing up for networking, there's no wlan0. I've also tried a USB wifi and even that won't do a thing and I know it works.


Also the battery certainly works as I can boot it unplugged and run it without ac power with no issues.


Could there been something I screwed up because I didn't reboot it after those updates or what? What can I do here?


Why does this affect both of these? I only updated the os on the SD card.

Am I very interested in buying a Pinephone (now that it is available in the store) but as I live in Japan it seems I wouldn't be able to buy any battery (amazon will not help too). I would like to know if there is any work for trying to ship the battery to other countries.

I know the legislation is quiet harsh since some accidents with batteries in planes but as they are made in China it would be nice to ship them in Asia (China itself obviously, South Korea and Japan by boat should be OK).

Hi,

Due to costs of logistics and taxes etc is there a possibility to release CAD files for the NAS case, possibly for a small fee or at least the outer case as it would be nice to have a case available with a smaller footprint in case you don't want to use it as a NAS but still want to utilize the PCIe slot such as a network router.

Someone else asked about this several months ago on Twitter without any reply but I can't find the comment now.

Thanks in advance!

I've tried to get USB tethering working on the pinephone without much success.

I followed the steps here (https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=tweaks) a while ago (I think with the 5.6 kernel) and I was able to SSH into the pinephone via USB, but couldn't actually get my laptop to access the internet through the pinephone.

Since installing the new 5.7 kernel, the laptop no longer even sees the pinephone. Is it possible to have USB tethering / SSH access, or is this now not possible with the current kernel? My pinephone is fully updated using apt upgrade and I also have pinephone-devtools installed.

I just installed the latest sxmo image... and phone calls and SMS work under Verizon...! 

I thought they weren’t working under regular Phosh/postmarketOS.... but maybe it was just a configuration issue?

Anyone have any insights?
