Hello all,

I received my Pinebook Pro back in January, and it came with the non-fitting NVMe adapter variant (V2.1-2019-0809).  I have been emailing info@pine64.org as recommended in the February 15 blog post (https://www.pine64.org/2020/02/15/februa...us-report/), following their requested subject format precisely.  Three emails so far without any response, and it sounds like some of you have already received the updated adapters.  Is there something else I should be doing to make sure I'm on the list?

Also, if I ordered a new adapter from the store (https://store.pine64.org/product/pineboo...e-adapter/) does anybody know which adapter version I should expect to receive?  The image still shows V1.0-2019-0420.  As I understand it the corrected version is V2-2019-1107.

Thanks!

I have an sd card I would like to mount but dont want to ruin what has been an excellent few weeks with Mobian by making a mess of my fstab, can someone give me some advice? I have the uuid Im just not sure what I need to have in my fstab to get it to mount. The purpose of the sd card is for extra storage(and maybe a swap partition? I heard it might help the pinephone run a little smoother)

For the SOPINE base board, the information in schematics does not make clear whether the 3.5mm power is +ve or -ve centre tap.    That would be J2.  Before people jump at this, a non-typical symbol is being used in the schematic.  

Yes I understand the +ve "lines up" visually with the centre tap, but who really wants to pump 3 amps the wrong way around into a board that takes months to turn up in the mail just to buzz out the connections 

Any hints please?  

Might that detail be added to https://www.pine64.org/baseboard/ perhaps as I suspect I am not the only person that would have that question.

Hi all, new to the forum here

Just got my PBP delivered. I am aware of the issue with the June 2020 shipment, some batches had eMMC switch off. I checked and mine was fine. For some reason, 50% of the time my PBP won't boot. The light would turn orange, then yellow, but then nothing happens and the screen is black. I could hold the power button to kill the power, then try to restart again and again until it boots. So far the boot success rate is about 50%

Did I get a defective hardware unit, or is there a DIY hardware problem that I can try?

Thanks!

The Wiki links for the PBPro schematics result in 404, can someone fix this?  I know is used to work.

Thanks

Mike

Hi ,

Has anyone tried this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/LeHang-Mini-PCI...975&sr=8-3

or something like this to add sim card slot. I am running android on rockpro 64 and want to make use of this sim card slot .

the final objective is to aggregate two WAN using speedify

I've been researching this for quite some time now before daring to ask, but have now tried anything I could find that even hinted at this actually working (even that famous old 3.10 kernel build) without any luck. We bought some sopine + baseboard modules and some rockpro64 modules (I won't even ask about the latter...) with the 7" LCDs and playboxes, without realizing the Linux support was so complicated. So, without any further ado, does anyone actually have this working? Any tips on what else to try?

Thanks.

I ordered my Pinetab with DHL shipping on 6/12 . Any news on the Early Adopter shipping date?  Will I be able to track my order on the website?

Hello,

I have accidentally deleted my two partitions on the eMMC in an first attempt to install one of the OS (mobian) for the PinePhone.
What I did was to first install the JumpDrive to the SD-card, which worked fine. The phone booted into that nicely.

From there I tried to install the OS directly into to the eMMC but It seamed not to fit there due to disk space issues. I then started gparted on my linux computer and tried to resize them but in the end I accidentally removed both partitions and created a new partition table (dos) with two new partitions on it (8gb for boot) and the rest for data.

I have searched all over the web what is needed to do co recreate the boot (loader) etc... I really need help

Is there any somewhat simple way to restore it all from scratch?

With best regards

I'm interested in the PinePhone or PineTab with the GPS module, but these devices are still very new, so I'm wondering if they would have the features available that I would like, and if not would they be available in future?

I'd like some GPS function while hiking that I can pinpoint my location and cross reference with my paper Ordnance Survey map (I have paper + digital copies for my area in the UK, but the digital copy requires the iOS or Android app.) I don't expect any integration with the OS maps, and I don't expect any other map to have the level of detail for my area that OS has, but are there any GPS navigation apps that work with the PinePhone/PineTab? or any that might work in the near future?

Currently I don't use a mobile phone at all, I have such little use for one that the credit and number expired on the last two SIM cards I had, so ideally the GPS and map app(s) would work just fine without an active phone. Is that possible?


side questions:

• Is there an expected price announced for the PineTab GPS module? if nothing official is known, what would be a sensible guess at the price?
  

• The PineTime watch is interesting, could this potentially display a GPS map from the PinePhone or PineTab?
  

• My preferred device format for broader use would be a 4:3 ratio tablet at ≈7.9", like the iPad mini. Has there been any talk or rumour or a Pine device like this? I assume it would be way into the future anyway as the PineTab is only just launching now. I've subscribed to the Pine store newsletter, are there any other newsletters that would be more suitable to receive announcements of new devices?
