Hello noob here,
I'm looking for a lot of space!
Simple question; what is the max number of drives I can get the rockpro to use? and how might I best go about that? I assume I can use x2 SSD's in the USB ports, but what else can I plug into?
edit: could not find this question answered, as simply as it is :p

Hello to the community,
I'm trying to install u-boot on a microSD card from a serial connection using a USB to TTL adapter CH340 (exactly this one).
First I built u-boot from my Debian laptop using the board-specific official documentation, then I flash it on the microSD with the appropriate `dd` command : `
Code: dd if=u-boot-rockchip.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=64 && sync
`
Then :
1. I set the microSD and plugged the dupont as recommended: GND on pin6, RX on pin8, and with without the TX on pin10.
2. Plugged the CH340, launched :
Code: picocom /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 1500000
`
3. Power on
And... Nothing appeared.
I tried different combinaisons of dupont pluging, different built for u-boot but I didn't get any output.
What did I miss ?

Despite the sad news mentioned here I'd like to ask if the title's issue is something known or if it's an issue concerning specific apps or some system setting that is wrong...
E.g. in "GNOME Weather" or "Podcasts" when I try to search for a city or try to enter the URL of a podcast, the onscreen keyboard disappears the moment I press any button...
My only workaround is to connect to a physical bluetooth keyboard which then works flawlessly.
Since this doesn't concern one single app only, I thought this might be a some more general issue.
Is there something I can do about that?
I am on Mobian stable (debian bookworm)
GNOME 43 (phosh 0.24.0)
Kernel is 6.1-sunxi64
Thanks!

| Fedora 36 -> 37 upgrade kills system |

Years ago, I found instructions on installing Fedora 32 to a SD card. I can no longer find those instructions.
Since then I have been doing upgrades in place: 32 -> 33 -> 34 -> 35 -> 37 via:
dnf --refresh upgrade
dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=37
dnf system-upgrade reboot
However, doing the 36 -> 37 upgrade appeared to work, but when I boot 37,
I get a Kernel panic (Attempted to kill init!) soon after Switch Root.
I am looking for either of two things:
1) Fix the existing Fedora 37 system
2) Start over with a clean install (need instructions)
Manjaro on the internal "disk" still works (if I remove the SD card).
So, I should have the ability to edit things on the SD card once Manjaro has booted.

Hi. Got the Pinetime some days ago. Updated firmware to latest Infinitime - 1.13. This watch is really what I wanted and more than expected for the price. The only thing I havent found a solution to is how to turn off the screen when the stopwatch is counting. Is this possible?
The main reason for wanting this is that its hard to not accidentally touch the screen and alter the settings while its on, and then the stopwatch is reset.
Another reason is to reduce battery consumption ofcourse, although this might not be a big problem... Has anyoune found a way to 'lock' the stopwatch while its counting?

recent update dos not install, it messages breaking a bunch of dependancies: kcoreaddon, modemmanager, networkmanager, and more. (solution: remove kimap2, remove plasma-mobile-nm): How to install that correctly? It will not install by GUI Discover, nor by sudo pacman -Syyu

| key repeat with pinephone keyboard |

My keyboard is repeating key presses. It occurs randomly with any key on the keyboard (this is not the top-row keys problem) and in any software. Typically it repeats a couple of dozen times, and I can get it to stop by hitting any key a few times.
What I tried:
- I did a clean install of manjaro phosh (internal, not the SD card).
- I tried both the kernel driver and the user space driver (pinephone-keyboard.disable_input in /boot/boot.txt; systemctl enable ppkb-i2c-inputd.service).
- Re-flashed the keyboard firmware.
None of these have had any effect.
I've never had trouble with the pin connections on my unit.
And it worked very well for about a year. I keep hoping a software update will fix it, but I am starting to doubt it's software, especially since I don't see anyone else having this particular problem.
Any thoughts on other things I could try?
