  Latest Version / Download Link
Posted by: someGermanGuy - 06-27-2020, 05:13 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Hi, i installed a .img from the jenkins/ci of ubports. When i checked the version, it was (iirc) Ubuntu Touch version 3.
I tried to switch to the dev channel but this was horribly messed up (multiple dev/edge channels etc.).
Also, it did not save the setting and sometimes tried to update and sometimes not.
Now the device is pretty broken (the sd...). So i thought i could just install the latest .img to SD and be fine.
But i am not sure where i can find it? 
https://ci.ubports.com/job/xenial-mainli...tfs-arm64/ - i guess thats not correct, isnt it?


  Mobile Reception
Posted by: Timitch - 06-27-2020, 01:25 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (3)

Hi,

Now I've been playing with my phone for a few days my one gripe is that the mobile/phone signal reception is not good, I guess the antenna isn't the best. While the signal isn't brilliant here I've always managed to get a connection.

Is there a port for adding an external antenna - can't immediately see one? Or has anyone tried adding an antenna?

Hi all,

I'd like to adjust u-boot, but I couldn't find /etc/default/u-boot like in my PBP/Debian, how it works in Mobian?

  Using flashrom on PineA64(+)
Posted by: fearg - 06-26-2020, 03:47 PM - Forum: Armbian - No Replies

Hey guys, wasn't sure exactly where to post this, but I suppose it is an Armbian on PineA64(+) issue?

I'm trying to use my PINEA64 as a chip flasher to install coreboot on the ROM chip of my Thinkpad X220, as of these guides:

https://tylercipriani.com/blog/2016/11/1...pberry-pi/

https://karlcordes.com/coreboot-x220/

These guides use a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian however. I'm using the PineA64+ with 2GB RAM with Armbian buster (Linux 5.4.43-sunxi64)

Although flashrom successfully recognises the chip

Code:
sudo flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0

flashrom  on Linux 5.4.43-sunxi64 (aarch64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L6405" (8192 kB, SPI) on linux_spi.
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L6405D" (8192 kB, SPI) on linux_spi.
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E" (8192 kB, SPI) on linux_spi.
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L6436E/MX25L6445E/MX25L6465E/MX25L6473E" (8192 kB, SPI) on linux_spi.
Multiple flash chip definitions match the detected chip(s): "MX25L6405", "MX25L6405D", "MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E", "MX25L6436E/MX25L6445E/MX25L6465E/MX25L6473E"
Please specify which chip definition to use with the -c <chipname> option.

It fails to read:

Code:
sudo flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0 -c MX25L6405 -r read01.bin
flashrom  on Linux 5.4.43-sunxi64 (aarch64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L6405" (8192 kB, SPI) on linux_spi.
Reading flash... linux_spi_send_command: ioctl: Connection timed out
Read operation failed!
FAILED.

I initially added this to /boot/armbianEnv.txt to get the SPI interface to work. (previously there was no /dev/spidev0.0 )

Code:
overlays=spi-spidev
param_spidev_spi_bus=0

The guide stated to do:

Code:
sudo modprobe spi_bcm2835

Which does not exist, so I loaded every module beginning with 'spi' into /etc/modules just to be sure.

I'm using the pinout here to connect the PI-2 interface: http://files.pine64.org/doc/Pine%20A64%2...160119.pdf

I don't really know where to go next in terms of troubleshooting.

Last night I disconnected all the jumpers and set it up again today from scratch with a totally different set of jumpers. I would imagine bad pinout\connections would stop it from recognising the chips also?

I'm using the Debian packaged version of flashrom, I didn't build it from source, in case that's relevant (as I'm having issues getting svn to work)

EDIT: Success! As soon as I posted this thread, I was like "Hmm, maybe I should actually try compiling flashrom from source, that'd be pretty dumb if that was the problem". Compiling flashrom from source fixed the problem and I have got successful reads.

For anyone reading googling this what I did was
Quote:
Code:
sudo mkdir flashrom && cd flashrom
sudo git clone https://github.com/flashrom/flashrom.git
cd flashrom
sudo make
sudo make install

I got a heap of errors but it worked fine.


Question Mobian screen dims
Posted by: JustineSmithies - 06-26-2020, 03:43 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (12)

I have flashed versions from 20200615 to the latest nightly and they all have the same issue on my Braveheart Pinephone. On booting and entering 1234 the ap drawer is presented and then 2 seconds later the screen goes off . I then no longer have access to the phone. I can unlock it again but to a blank screen. Help ?????

Hi folks,

It seems some of us are having issues with the cellular network in our pinephones and I thought it would be useful if we can get a list of the combinations to try to look for what is the culprit Smile

HTH


I can start:

Simyo, UB ports devel (OTA 59, but it never worked for me), pinephone ub ports version, Spain

  $HOME variable over SSH

Hello everone,

I just booted postmarketOS from my SD card and logged into it over SSH. I noticed that

Code:
cd ~
takes me to /root and not to /home/user. Is there a reason for that and can it be changed? I tried
Code:
usermod -d /home/user user
but it only said
Code:
usermod: no changes
