Right now I only have two modules installed on my cluster board, and it's only for experimentation, don't know about the loads yet. Will the modules reboot or just slow down if over-heated? Does the pine64 store sell cooling equipment for the modules? I didn't see anything when I ordered. :d

The cluster board was delivered with two ceramic parts, 15W10ohmJ. What's the purpose of those? There's a slot at the top of the board for one, but, no manual with installation instructions. Must I sold it on, or is it enough to just "fit it"? Or are they not needed at all? Information wanted. ^^

Hello 

I recently received my pinebook Pro.  It is not able to connect to any of my wireless networks.
When I enter the command: inxi -Fzx, I get the following ouput:

Network:
     message: No ARM data found for this feature.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Harry

I recently purchased the Pine Book Pro, and for the most part, I've really been enjoying it. However, I was wondering if there's a way to customize the behavior when the power button is pressed.

I'm running Manjaro (the i3 WM variant), and when the power button is pressed, it immediately shuts the system down. While this would normally be fine, the power button is unfortunately where the delete key is on my other machines, so I've hit it by mistake more than once.

Is there a way to configure the power button such that, when pressed, there's some confirmation, instead of an immediate power down?

Thank you for any help in this matter.

I'm running MOY-TBH3-1.7.8 atm and the DaFit app and told me theres a new update availible.
The changelog just said user experience optimization and bugfixes.
For the file to download I've had to have the watch connected, as soon as it did anything on the phone screen I turned off bluetooth on the phone and shut off the PineTime.
Turns out the update file got downloaded to "/data/data/com.crrepa.band.dafit/files/crp/firmware/433bdfc51f938730aaa0211afb635815.bin".
MOY-TBH3-1.7.9
Didn't update yet, may try to read the flash through J-Link debugging later.

I need help, because i'm stupid...

I tried to install arch Linux on my Pinebook Pro.
I flashed the image from the wiki on a usb-stick, booted from it on the pinebook pro and followed a standard arch install routine (in order to that i was setting up a boot, swap, root and home parition), until i tied to run the pacstrap command and realized, that this woulden work.
i shut down the pinebook.
And now it boots from no usb stick anymore.(of cause not from the emmc either, because i wiped it).

I would be really thankful for help.

I unplugged my Odroid N2 because there's no acceleration for video, and plugged in my Rock64.  Sound is currently being done over HDMI because that's what worked best with the N2.  Actually my monitor has an audio output where it splits the sound off and feeds it out an analog jack to a pair of computer speakers.

It works fairly well if I'm playing a movie or something (haven't  tried a sound file).   But when nothing's playing there's this sound that's like digital noise, like if you get a radio too close to a computer.  It stops if I turn the monitor off.  It's like a high impedance input is sitting there open and picking up junk when nothing's being played.

Using Debian Buster from an Ayufan image, freshly loaded a few days ago.

I've been enjoying my PBP for the past week but I've been wondering if it was possible to switch the Fn and the left Ctrl keys? I've found a few options in the Keyboard->Advanced section but nothing on the Fn key.

Manjaro is completely new to me (not linux). My desktop runs with linux (dual boot) and I have been able to play with Rpi 1,2,3 over the years. But now an aarch64 pinebook pro laptop!
Spent the past 3 days to see what is possible on this laptop. Quite a lot, just miss DRM (netflix, prime, disney +).

I also notice that many community packages (AUR) do not work for aarch64 (only i686 and x86_64). So I immediately started to make them myself:

- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/openarena-git/
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libxmp-aarch64-git/

But found out today that you can still edit the PKGBUILD files for the build. So you can easily add aarch64 to the list of architectures and a lot will work already.

Here with screenshots ...

Click on "edit build files" and add aarch64 click on "Save" and you're done!




I notice that not all "versions" work. You really notice that aarch64 is newer in the world. For example, nblood didn't work but nblood-git did (newer code I think) eduke32 worked, but ran into a few problems, now building eduke32-git

if a build succeeds and works, I immediately ask in the comment if they want to add aarch64.

Hi there. I booted into a Kali img from an SD card and then proceeded to try to flash a Kali img file to the eMMC. The flash crashed part way through and when I try to reboot I can no longer boot from either the eMMC or SD card. I tried flashing several OS's (Manjaro SD/eMMC img, Debian SD/eMMC img, etc) to an SD card and then rebooting, but no luck. My understanding is that both the Manjaro and Debian images also include the boot program, and the boot order prioritizes SD over eMMC, so I should be able to boot onto an SD img even if the eMMC is corrupted? All I get when I power on is a solid red power LED, but nothing boots. 

When I'm flashing the SD cards, I download the OS img and then use 'unxz -d osname.img.xz' to decompress the OS img and then use etcher to flash it.

I tried flashing the Kali img to eMMC with the following command: 'sudo dd if=kali-linux-2020.2-pinebook-pro.img of=/dev/mmcblk1 status=progress' when it crashed.

If anyone could let me know what I'm doing wrong or where to go from here that would be much appreciated!
