Hi,
I'm trying to port OpenMandriva to the PineBook Pro (not that there's anything wrong with the preloaded Manjaro - that one works pretty well too!)

Is there any documentation on the device's boot process?

So far I've gathered:
The most interesting kernel is this one: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/tsys/linux-pinebook-pro
U-boot is probably the generic rk3399 version(?)

I couldn't find anything on what to put where on the SD card for a successful SD boot (other than looking at existing OS images to see where they put stuff), or how to install a new u-boot (and particularly testing it without bricking the device), etc.
Is any such information available?

I just got my PinePhone Ubi edition friday

This is on the "stable" version

I was not expecting "much to work" , but hoped for basic call & sms.
I have installed a Telia Card in the PP , and i can do DATA & SMS but no Call.

If i dial to the pinephone the caller phone (android) says it is busy.
If i dial from the PinePhone it just say call failed.

If i move the Telia simcard to an iPhone 6S calls are working.

So the card isn't "dead" , as Data & SMS are working , just calls doesn't work.

Any hints would be appreciated , even debug tips.

I'm a daily linux user , and ssh etc doesn't scare me  

Edit:
WiFi seems to work ok , especially after a "warm reboot"
I did have to enter the  WiFi password a few times , as if it had trouble saving it , or forgetting it once in a while.
Edit2:
Just noticed someone saying if you have several AP's with the same SSID (i have 2) , then you might be asked for a passwd where it might not make sense.
It could be the phone trying to auth on the other BSSID ..
Maybe one should auth on AP1 , turn it off & auth on AP2. Hopefully the PP will remember auth on both AP's then

Just installed #48 and noticed that the screen resolution for the launcher and the notification bar has increased (i.e. displayed smaller). I love it but some people might find it too tiny.

How do you adjust this?

What happened to the Pineloader that was demoed last month?

I am really keen as it would allow me to follow more that one distro without swapping cards.answer/32040?visit_id=637277193223256304-1677846447&rd=1

As title says I'm wondering where the clicking noise is coming from. I am running Ubports but if I remember correctly, the sound also occurred when I ran tried mobian. Has anyone else noticed that sound? It is pretty quite and can be felt in your hand when you hold the phone. It feels like it is a physical switch or relay being activated.

I have tried everything to get SSH to connect from my client desktop running Ubuntu 20.04 to the pinephone. I generated a key and ssh'd into my desktop from the phone and was able to move the public rsa key to my /.ssh/authorized_keys using the scp command in terminal but i still can't access the pinephone from my desktop client. I have exhausted all options so any help would be appreciated. Thanks

When will Mobian run on the PineTab ?

I have noticed a very fast (probably 3-5x normal speed, where listening is impossible) playback when using Podbird with downloaded podcast episodes. I don't have any other local media to try this with but I was able to watch YouTube videos at normal speed. Has anyone else seen this behavior (in Podbird specifically or more generally with local media)?

Just threw together a few renders of the logo in different colors for fun. I also made a little image for on the back of the phone. Figured I would share them.

Anyone having an issue with the keyboard when booting off of SD card slot for Kali?

I got Kali to work fine but the issue I have is when I type semi fast the curser jumps and really starts messing up.  I'm trying to figure out which keyboard selection might be best in the settings as the default system ones do not seem to work.  I switched to 101 keys and 105 keys for PC but still getting it.

Any luck with anyone else?



thanks!
