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

Hello noob here,

I'm looking for a lot of space!

Simple question; what is the max number of drives I can get the rockpro to use? and how might I best go about that? I assume I can use x2 SSD's in the USB ports, but what else can I plug into?

edit: could not find this question answered, as simply as it is :p

Hello to the community,

I'm trying to install u-boot on a microSD card from a serial connection using a USB to TTL adapter CH340 (exactly this one).

First I built u-boot from my Debian laptop using the board-specific official documentation, then I flash it on the microSD with the appropriate `dd` command : `

I found a really nice hack that bull dog clip handles fix in the pine time slot and seems lock in tightly

I used this to make my own wrist strap 

if anyone is looking make custom strap I found that this working so far the best i used epoxy to get the clip attached to the nylon


   

   

Bare Metal Programming on a RISC-V SBC (Single-Board Computer) sounds difficult. Thankfully we can get help from the OpenSBI Supervisor Binary Interface! (A little like BIOS, but for RISC-V)

In this article, we boot Apache NuttX RTOS on Star64 JH7110 RISC-V SBC to experiment with OpenSBI:
(1) Print to the Serial Console
(2) Set a System Timer
(3) Query the RISC-V CPUs
(4) Fetch the System Information
(5) And Shutdown / Reboot our SBC

Check out the article:
Star64 JH7110 RISC-V SBC: Experiments with OpenSBI (Supervisor Binary Interface)

Despite the sad news mentioned here I'd like to ask if the title's issue is something known or if it's an issue concerning specific apps or some system setting that is wrong...

E.g. in "GNOME Weather" or "Podcasts" when I try to search for a city or try to enter the URL of a podcast, the onscreen keyboard disappears the moment I press any button...

My only workaround is to connect to a physical bluetooth keyboard which then works flawlessly.

Since this doesn't concern one single app only, I thought this might be a some more general issue.
Is there something I can do about that?

I am on Mobian stable (debian bookworm)
GNOME 43 (phosh 0.24.0)
Kernel is 6.1-sunxi64

Thanks!

Years ago, I found instructions on installing Fedora 32 to a SD card.  I can no longer find those instructions.

Since then I have been doing upgrades in place: 32 -> 33 -> 34 -> 35 -> 37 via:
  dnf --refresh upgrade
  dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=37
  dnf system-upgrade reboot
However, doing the 36 -> 37 upgrade appeared to work, but when I boot 37,
I get a Kernel panic (Attempted to kill init!) soon after Switch Root.

I am looking for either of two things:
1)  Fix the existing Fedora 37 system
2)  Start over with a clean install (need instructions)

Manjaro on the internal "disk" still works (if I remove the SD card).
So, I should have the ability to edit things on the SD card once Manjaro has booted.

Hi. Got the Pinetime some days ago. Updated firmware to latest Infinitime - 1.13. This watch is really what I wanted and more than expected for the price. The only thing I havent found a solution to is how to turn off the screen when the stopwatch is counting. Is this possible?
The main reason for wanting this is that its hard to not accidentally touch the screen and alter the settings while its on, and then the stopwatch is reset.
Another reason is to reduce battery consumption ofcourse, although this might not be a big problem... Has anyoune found a way to 'lock' the stopwatch while its counting?

hello I would like to know if I can connect pinenote with starlite tablet via usb cable and hdmi adapter?
