if anyone has any helpfull solution or hack i would love to hear.

thanks in advace!

Hi all,

I am the user of Pinebook (the first generation, 14'', with upgraded emmc to 64g), it is good for light usage and it had been my k3s cluster with my rpi4

The Pinebook is not good enough to light-median usage, like run chrome/firefox to bworse web, use telegram to send/receive messages.

Once I found out the new Pinebook Pro and it can be upgraded by nvme adapter, and read the forum's post can boot from nvme by flash u-boot images, and I think it will be more powerful than older Pinebook.

But I still want to ask some questions for my usage and is it fits to me (although the ansi keyboard version is out of stock now), thanks.

1. use wine to launch NAVER LINE app
2. use Telegram
3. use chrome/edge
4. use visual studio code
5. use anydesk, vnc, rdp client
6. use microsoft teams

Hello, I am interested in the Pinebook Pro. I see the Pinebook and Pinebook Pro both have the "Mali T860 MP4 GPU". I am not familiar with this GPU.

My question is: Do the Pinebooks support Vulkan, and do they support compute shaders? Does the "Manjaro Linux" it ships with include drivers which already support these two things? Thanks

Hello,

Just got my pinebook pro in the mail and have been loving it so far, but it appears that I'm unable to connect to any 5GHZ WiFi networks.

This is very disappointing for me given how slow the 2.4GHZ band is due to congestion in my area.

Was wondering if anyone else had encountered this or had tips for troubleshooting

Has this been done?

Someone else mentioned the ANX7688.  If that's the USB chip then this page: https://www.analogix.com/en/products/con...es/anx7688  says it's "Simultaneous USB 3.1 Gen1 (5.0Gbps) and DisplayPort Alternate Mode".

I'm after what they did with the PI ( https://hackaday.com/2020/05/25/boot-your-pi-over-usb/ ) to put the boot loader on emmc, use the rest of the emmc for data, and have a 5Gbs USB 3.1 to SD reader with a really fast SD card and multiboot all of the possible OS's from one SD card which also holds a nice swap file that again is much faster than the built in SD.

Opinions?

Bitalino has low cost ECG devices with Open Signals or Matlab software. Both OpenSignals software and Matlab does not run on the Pinephone.

Alternatively, Scott Hardens, PhD. Sound Card ECG device could be used. Scott s Sound card ECG is an excellent research grade device, he spend more than years in developing it.

I asked Scott:
Is it possible to integrate your free and open source custom software which is written in C#, which graphs the signal in real time and displays heart rate over time into Python?

Scott s answer:

Check the link in the description to my one opamp ECG circuit video. That project makes a similar graph using Python software and you may find that useful

And here my question to the Pinephone community. Is there a sound card input on the Pinephone which can be used by Python software?

Hi all.
I am using platform.io framework in vs code on PBP and having problem with communication to ESP32 dev kit from USB2 (right) port.
For example when I am running monitoring of ESP32 serial port I get errors:

My current experiences with Mobian, and compiling the kernel:

Brief overview:

- My main objective was to compile ZRAM module in to the kernel of Mobian.

What ended up happening I learned the following:

• uBoot
  
• Kernel
  
• (Mobian had a small partition so I had to modify uBoot to put a new kernel and module system on there)
  
  
• Serial Modules, and converting my raspberry pi connector to a  headphone UART option by cutting both a headphone cable, and a raspberry pi uart cable, and tying the wires together.
  
• Possible cheap option (by uARt, chip on amazon and cut a headphones  that the speakers are broken to make your own.
  12 bucks....max it looks like Canadian
  

• Kernels that images are gzipped  I couldn’t get to work correctly, I had to unzip it to use it within uboot
  
  
• Example working solution using boot.text compile boot.scr
  

• the bootargs environment
  
• ext4load for loading binary files into memory of uboot
  
• help
  
• help command
  
•  booti
  
•  bootm
  
•  boot
  

• Installed docker
  
• Download docker Debian image (latest version) using docker pull
  
• Install the build essentials for Debian
  
• Install the cross compilers needed
  
• Download the kernel using git
  

When I preordered a PineTab I intended to select DHL shipping, but DHL shipping did not get selected(my funble fingers). I live in the US does DHL make a big difference in delivery time and if it does can I change my shipping option?

are there any good docks for the PineTab or any plans for one?
