Pine64 Ox64 is an affordable RISC-V SBC ($8) based on Bouffalo Lab BL808 SoC with 3 (Asymmetric) RISC-V Cores:

(1) D0 Multimedia Core: 64-bit T-Head C906 with MIPI CSI, Neural Processing Unit
(2) M0 Wireless Core: 32-bit T-Head E907 with WiFi, Bluetooth LE, Zigbee, Audio, USB, Ethernet
(3) Low Power Core: 32-bit T-Head E902

In this article we boot Linux on Ox64 BL808 (with OpenSBI and U-Boot Bootloader). And we explore how Apache NuttX RTOS might run on Ox64.

Hello. I have a Pinetab 2 lying around, waiting for the WiFi driver being ready as I need a little bit of WiFi for most of my use cases.
From time to time I connect a USB-C NIC to the PineTab to check for updates, but now I recieve an error:
Fetching Updates shows an amber exclamation mark and (trying to) updating the PineTab 2 shows a Package Conficr between plasma-framework5 and plasma-framework with conflicting dependencies.

Any ideas how to solve that?

Hi everyone, I'm having a strange problem with my Pinecil v2. I'm using this one for an important project. At first everything was fine. Today I wear an anti-static bracelet and he started burning my wrist. At first I felt tingling. This happens when I hold the Pinecil soldering iron. I point out that this had not happened before. J There also a crackling noise inside the soldering iron

hello dear pinecil comunity, i just unpacked the beautiful iron and tried out functions. i've put it in sleep mode by pressing minus-button on start screen some seconds (iron-crossed-icon on screen) and now i don't find the way back out. powering off and factory reset did not help. hope it's a stupid/easy question which can be solved by pressing the right buttons .. can anyone help? thx in advance!

Hey all! First post here.

I'll keep it quick, but before I start I want to say that I have a workaround and I'm OK with it, although I'd like to have a "cleaner" solution in place if possible.

Long and short of it: Just received my Pinebook Pro a few days ago with Manjaro ARM. All was well until I found out that the version Manjaro I had didn't support external monitors at all, due to patch not being in mainline. Tried different monitors, different cables, rotating cables, etc. No dice.

So I switched to a custom kernel to fix that problem, however that knocked out my WiFi. OS wouldn't even acknowledge that hardware was there. I thought it may have been hardware failure until I starting finding errors about loading Broadcom firmware in dmesg.

I tried the usual suspects such as ensuring /boot was properly mounted, cold booting, privacy switch, etc. Nothing. Reverting back to the original kernel made no difference either.

After many hours of trial & error and searching for answers, I found a set of firmware files which worked when placed in the proper location, but it wasn't "plug-and-play" so to speak. Every time now when I want to use WiFi after booting, I have to use that "(un)bind" trick:

i would like to link my pine phone to PC/tablet some how.

it would be nice if I can hot spot or connect to home wifi and open up a web panel for me read phone and txts


is there any app that can do with pine phone?


and small bouns that dont thing is a thing is linking it to discord bot so all my text messages are forum channels and i can make phone calls from discord or drag other friends into it


if i cant find anything does we know python interface for the pinephone modem

Hi all,

I have a few suggestions for improvements to the Pine Store.

1.  More photos. 
     More photos with more angles, and in relation to other products.  Like the Pine Dock with the Pinebook Pro.
     Images showing sizes/dimensions.  i.e. the length/width/height of a product with lines showing thus
2.  More robust descriptions.
     A lot of the products have very spartan descriptions.  Some just it's aspects and no hint at what it actually does. I suspect this is under the assumption that those who are looking at Pine products know what they are looking for.  Which I'm sure is true for a large segment of those purchasing stuff, but for example, me, I kinda know what I'm looking for, but I've had to ask questions here and on Matrix to clarify some aspects.  Like that the Pinecil needs to be plugged in to work.  Obvious once you think about it, but you have to think about it.

That's my two cents.

Since 2023 Genode publishes an early version of Sculpt OS for the PinePhone.

Here is the general page:
https://genode.org/download/sculpt

And here is goes to the download image:
https://depot.genode.org/genodelabs/image/

Genode is the framework and Sculpt OS is the OS implementation.

Features

* CPU architectures: x86 (32 and 64 bit), ARM (32 and 64 bit), RISC-V
* Kernels: most members of the L4 family (NOVA, seL4, Fiasco.OC, OKL4 v2.1, L4ka-Pistachio, L4/Fiasco), Linux, and a custom kernel.
* Virtualization: VirtualBox (on NOVA), a custom virtual machine monitor for ARM, and a custom runtime for Unix software
* Over 100 ready-to-use components

HDMI doesn't work with any Kernel except the Kernel 4.4 from Rockchip (it also doesn't work with xorg) i tried out all kernel configs from rockchip and ayufan always same error:

I boot with extlinux.conf: The kernel starts only without console bootparameter: When i insert console=tty0 as boot paramter the kernel dont start.

Does anyone know what the problem could be.
Thank you in advance for your help
