  Only the top few rows of pixels work on stable OTA 3
Posted by: NoraCodes - 06-18-2020, 09:18 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - No Replies

I just upgraded my PinePhone to OTA 3 and it looks like only the top few rows work after boot. This is not an issue in other images (so not a hardware issue, I imagine).

  Soldering internal Wifi/Bluetooth antenna
Posted by: petet0n76 - 06-18-2020, 08:44 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

Hello,
just did a complete disassemble of my Pinebook Pro. When I tried to disconnect the internal wireless antenna from the CPU Board the socket came off from the board, damage caused. Would like to repair without replacing the CPU Board, are there two potential solder joints (shield/signal) where the antenna can be soldered to ? If it cannot be fixed...USB Wireless dongle seems to be the remaining option.
Any hint appreciared, Peter


  Anyone who have Pinephone Ubports CE who have booked the phone after 22nd?
Posted by: rksomayaji - 06-18-2020, 08:05 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (2)

The delivery of Pinephone Ubports CE has started but there must be few who have booked it before the cut off date of 22nd of May. There must be few who have booked it after. I have done it on 24th and raising questions on chat or forum have mostly gone unanswered. Just want to know is there anyone else who is on the same boat or am I the only one. I fear of joining the ranks of people whose orders have been cancelled by Pine64.


  brand new manjaro PBP - pacman PGP import failure
Posted by: shindagger - 06-18-2020, 07:19 AM - Forum: Getting Started - No Replies

Just unboxed my new PBP, and i cannot get snapd (or any software) installed. First, generally speaking, is there a forum post for new versions of manjaro, recently shipped? Would love some kind of "getting started" doc... 

`5.6.0-2-MANJARO-ARM`



when i run `sudo pacman -S snapd` it attempts to download a PGP key, and fails every time. Computer has network connectivity, can surf the web with firefox.

i've tried the following command in every possible order:
`sudo rm -r /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/`
`sudo pacman-key --init` 
`sudo pacman -Syyu`
`sudo pacman-mirrors -g`
`sudo pacman -Sy gnunpg archlinux-keyring manjaro-keyring`

polkit is active and running.

any information at all would be helpful. can't even install vim right now, and can't get any of the boot images from the wiki to work on my SD..


  8 GB ?
Posted by: GloriousCoffee - 06-18-2020, 05:35 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (2)

Hello everyone

Just wondering,
are there currently any plans on releasing an 8 GB version of the RockPRO64 ?

I've generally been very happy with the PineBook, really a perfect machine to have on the go. I would love to switch to Pine for my main work computer, but that would require a bit more than 4GB as the browser tends to eat a lot of the memory. Really hoping to see something with more ram in the future.


  Manjaro Arm i3 HELP
Posted by: HaxNet - 06-18-2020, 04:37 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

Hey guys,

I just got my PBP last night and I flashed the new 128GB emmc with the image. Put it in the PBP, boot up, went through username/pw, locale, etc., It auto reboots.
It just stays in a black screen. So I went to tty1-6 and switch it back to tty7, the login screen is there, but can't move the mouse or type. So i tried to type and then switch back to tty6 and back, tty7 recognizes it. I had to keep switching back and forth back and forth. 

Has anyone tested i3 on the new batch of PBP? 

I also try to run the i3 via sd, but it does the exact same thing.

any ideas?


  Shipment upgrade to DHL
Posted by: dkaparis - 06-18-2020, 04:22 AM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (2)

Greetings,

I placed an order back in March for a ROCKPro64 and some accessories. It later turned out Ascendia stopped shipping to my country and I've been waiting for it to resume.

I was in contact with sales@pine64.org and was eventually offered to upgrade my order shipment to use DHL and have my items shipped for an additional fee. I sent several emails to confirm and request shipment upgrade, but they stopped answering and I haven't got any response for several weeks. I submitted a ticket to the support team, but eventually they referred me back to sales and I have no follow up.

This is getting quite frustrating - any advice where can I reach out to have my issue resolved?

Regards,
Dimitri


  Looking for recent Android tools
Posted by: FeMike - 06-18-2020, 04:03 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (6)

Does anyone with Linux arm64 knowledge care to explain if it's possible to compile adb and fastboot for an arm64 architecture using the PineBookPro? The ones available in Debian is of api23 and in Manjaro I believe it's the same or slightly newer but definitely not the latest. I have two Android devices both running Android 9 or 10 which use api28/29 so flashing anything on the pb will cause problems.

  Arch Linux ARM on the Rock64 V3
Posted by: justinweiss - 06-17-2020, 10:00 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (2)

I just picked up a Rock64, and wanted to put Arch Linux ARM on it to reuse setup scripts I wrote for another SBC that was already running it.

The instructions didn't work for me -- u-boot failed, I would assume because of the SD changes in the V3 revision. Research made it sound like mainline u-boot should work, but I didn't have any luck with it. master failed with a hang trying to access the SD card, and earlier revisions failed with a "Card did not respond to voltage select!" error.

Armbian did work, and I figured all I needed was really a working u-boot, so I bashed together the u-boot from Armbian with the root filesystem from Arch Linux ARM, and it booted!

I would still love to figure out what I was doing wrong with my u-boot builds (following the instructions from here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8174), but it seems like it's worked out. Assuming things don't burst into flames or anything.

For reference, this was the process that worked for me:

It's mostly the same as the basic install instructions: https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8...hip/rock64

  • In step 1, instead of zeroing out, I ran `dd if=/path/to/Armbian_bionic.img of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=32`
  • Steps 2-8 were unchanged
  • Step 9 was skipped
  • Steps 10-12 were unchanged
  • Skipped updating u-boot through Arch
