  US SIM Cards not working on Pinephone
Posted by: shapestech - 06-23-2020, 07:21 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (4)

I turned my Pinephone on today to find that my SIM card wasn't detected, and I found that my Pinephone is not detecting US SIM cards but after putting in a European SIM card I had it detected it just fine. The 2 distros I was running were UBPorts and Mobian, could one of them have updated the modem firmware causing this issue? I had a US SIM card working just fine 3 days ago but I updated both Mobian and UBPorts also 3 days ago and I wasn't paying attention to the SIM card status.

Edit: It actually appears to work in the factory test but wasn't working in UBPorts or Mobian.


  How to boot from eMMC but have root directory on an NVME?
Posted by: QazTheWsx - 06-23-2020, 06:44 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (7)

I have a PBP and is currently running Manjaro KDE from factory on it. I have the adapter and a NVME. I was wondering if I could have just the necessary files on the eMMC to boot and then have everything else on the NVME like home directory and programs and such. I have not found an updated way to do this. Also I am open to suggestions for alternatives. I would just like to have everything touching NVME after booting while still running Manjaro KDE.


  Cool wallpapers for the PinePhone?
Posted by: ragreenburg - 06-23-2020, 06:19 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (7)

I've seen pictures on Twitter and whatnot where people have really good looking wallpapers for their PinePhone that are Pine64 related. Does anyone know where I could find something like this?


  Memory clock speed: 800MHz vs 1600MHz? (NM, RK3399 won't run >800MHz DDR)
Posted by: Syonyk - 06-23-2020, 01:38 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (4)

Sorry for what I hope is a stupid question...

I'm running a Pinebook Pro with the "mrfixit BSP uboot" - for deep sleep and such.

I'm using the Manjaro/tsys 5.7 kernel with hwaccel patches.

Uboot log:

Spoiler:



What I'm interested in, though, is the memory training speed.

Code:
channel 0 training pass!
channel 1 training pass!
change freq to 800MHz 1,0
Channel 0: LPDDR4,800MHz
Bus Width=32 Col=10 Bank=8 Row=15/15 CS=2 Die Bus-Width=16 Size=2048MB
Channel 1: LPDDR4,800MHz
Bus Width=32 Col=10 Bank=8 Row=15/15 CS=2 Die Bus-Width=16 Size=2048MB
256B stride

This is the final training pass I see in the uboot output.

Looking at the datsheet, the memory modules are either rated for 1600MHz or 1866MHz.

I've found that the RK3399 supports dynamic DRAM frequency scaling, but I haven't verified if this is working - I don't see anything about it in dmesg.

I see a peak of about 5.5GB/s running the "mbw" benchmark.  At 800MHz on a 64 bit bus, I'd expect (800 * 2 * 64 / 8) = 12.8GB/s, which is consistent with a streaming copy bandwidth of around 5.5GB/s.

At 1600MHz, I'd expect to see 25.6GB/s - and I know there's display overhead, but for an optimized copy, it seems like we're not seeing the full performance of this system.

So, my questions:

0. Am I misreading the output/screwing up my math?
1. How can I verify the memory frequency in Linux?
2. Should uboot be setting the frequency to the maximum before handing off to a kernel that might not be adjusting it?
3. Should we have dynamic memory frequency stuff enabled in the kernel?

Thanks!

Well, darn.  I was looking at the LPDDR4 datasheet, should have been looking at the RK3399 datasheet.

Per IRC, it just doesn't support running the memory bus up that high.  Seems to be limited at 933 for DDR3, 800 for DDR4.

Was a good question, I suppose.


  You do not have permission to access this page
Posted by: impactice - 06-23-2020, 12:15 PM - Forum: General - Replies (7)

I just signed up and posted a message on a different board.

I was requested by a user to send him a PM, but clicking on the profile results in a "You do not have permission to access this page" message

I also have 1 private message waiting, but clicking on my own private messages link also results in "You do not have permission to access this page"

How do I fix this?

Thanks


  Feature request - A slightly better speaker/microphone
Posted by: halcek - 06-23-2020, 09:55 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (4)

I do absolutely love what the PinePhone is. But if I had some feedback to improve for when the next hardware edition comes around, it would be, for the PinePhone to come equipped with just a slightly better, more clear speaker, and/or microphone.

I think it is even worth it to have such an improvement in the hardware, if it were to raise the price of the whole phone by some $10, maybe $20 if need be. Because even if the PinePine were to increase in price slightly to say $159, it would still have that psychological effect of a cheap phone very much going for it, but if that could decrease the buzzing that I now constantly get in the background (and the people I call with hear it too rather loudly, no matter which OS am using) uring phone calls, personally I do think it would make the final product that much more usable, and thus appealing.

What do others think about this?


  UBports OS Convergence & system memory
Posted by: CircularDevs - 06-23-2020, 07:04 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (2)

According to the specification the PineTab shall have a System Memory of 2GB LPDDR3 SDRAM.

with the keyboard option I am particularly interested in the Convergence offered by UBports OS.

Will it be with the UBports OS to open Libreoffice, etc.?
The software should run with 256 MB RAM (512 MB RAM recommended).

Will there be an option for memory expansion?

What desktop software is reported to run well on PineTab?


Brick Bricked? Pinebook Pro using Uboot-pbp
Posted by: hanmorten - 06-23-2020, 05:58 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (8)

Hi. I was trying to install Arch Linux ARM on the onboard eMMC from a SD card.
When i came to the part of installing u-boot to the eMMC i used the command:

Code:
dd if=/boot/idbloader.img of=/dev/mmcblk2 seek=64
dd if=/boot/u-boot.itb of=/dev/mmcblk2 seek=16384
but then. BAAM... the Pinebook Pro wont start...
the LED light don't turn on, and the device wont start.
have anyone some tips or tricks for this? (i miss my PBP!) Tongue

  PBP nearly dead
Posted by: cs1cjc - 06-23-2020, 03:46 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

I have booted up my PBP using the supplied Manjaro and set a username and password, but not changed anything else. I hit barriers over lack of wifi and tiny text which are both covered in the Wiki.  The PBP was put on charge but it will no longer start.  All that happens when I push the power button is that the power LED briefly flashes green.  It did restart once but then died immediately after I had logged in.

Where do I go from here?
