As there is a discussion in the PinePhone forum that the Braveheart could not be shipped to germany due to missing CE certification, I'd like to ask if the same Problem will occur with the PineTab for pre order. As it is an early edition I think it could also be missing a CE certificate.

Do we have a Distro to gcc versions somewhere?
Need gcc 7.1 or higher and other build tools of course. What is the Distro I can use?
Manjaro 19.x have gcc 7.1 or higher ?

Thanks,
Mike

The reason I purchased the Pine A64+ was to be able to go through the Debian install process, choosing a minimum of packages and starting with a configuration that only I would understand :-D This is my usual method of operation for about 20 years.

After following the steps on the debian wiki and running into no kernel modules found issues, I ended up downloading directly from:

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stabl...rd-images/

doing the zcat > to the card and was able to do a fairly regular debian install process.

Strange thing is, it is always over the console with the olimex USB-Serial cable:

https://www.olimex.com/Products/Componen...l-Cable-F/

OK, no problem for an install, but then going to testing, kernel 5.6.0-1-arm64 and still no HDMI, even console. Serial is nice, and ssh is most likely the main way I will be interfacing with the computer, but I am curious as to how to troubleshoot the HDMI output.

Still searching but maybe someone here can already point me in the right direction

General situation overview
[25 May 2020] We're running mostly on schedule, give or take a few days, however unrest in the region has picked up so delays are possible - this is something we cannot predict at this point in time. I'll update this thread on a need-be basis until all devices ship.
[edit 27 May] The situation in the region has not impacted shipments. The minor delays are caused by pandemic-related restrictions imposed on the carriers or by the carriers.
[edit 29 May] The situation in the region is getting slightly more tense, however there is no indication presently that the situation will disrupt shipment.
[edit 4 June] I understand that things are taking longer than initially anticipated, but you need to keep in mind these aren't normal shipping circumstances. We're under constraints that we have no control over (e.g. border being closed between HK and mainland China), the shipping companies and carriers are under many constraints (self-imposed or imposed by regulators) and the logistic chain as a whole - including people - is under regulatory constraints. In short, current situation is not business as usual. I am getting many PMs and emails asking about status reports - as soon as I know something, I post it here, there is no need to PM or email me. Thank you for your continued patience!   
[edit 8 June] For the most part, so far-so-good (at least DHL with regards to DHL shipments). I don't want to repeat this over and over, but the shipping situation is not exactly easy presently, and yet despite this we're doing good progress on the shipping front. There will be a minor delay with next two PBP sub-batch shipments as they have to undergo additional QC prior to shipping out. As for the PinePhone, we're giving you  three options on how to proceed with you Asendia shipment: stick with it, switch over to DHL or cancel your order. 
[edit 22 June] While crossing the Hong Kong border our truck was stopped for stopped for a full border check, which included the driver undertaking a COVID-19 test. The shipment barely made it on time to the pickup destination. During the customs stop, Hong Kong customs officers opened a number PinePhone units to confirm shipped contents. I am informing you of this in the event you get a unit which has been inspected at customs.
[edit 30 June] Hong Kong authorities chose to extend the border closure until 7 August, which means we will be unable to access our warehouse for yet another month.
[edit 28 July] This is the last edit to this post - I'll keep the thread open so people can continue reporting receiving their units and posting problems they encounter(ed). This thread will be closed sometime in August as we'll start preparing for shipping the postmarketOS CE and the next production run of Pinebook Pros.
I'd like to than you for all the support and understating. To those who raised concerns regarding the delay of a large portion of this batch we'd like to I'd like to say that we hear you. 

Pinebook Pro
First two pallets of Pinebook Pros will ship out today, May 25, followed by more tomorrow. Shipping will continue though the week. DHL has pandemic-related limitations of a tonne per day, so it will take longer to clear all pallets than initially expected, but there shouldn't be any significant delays.
[edit 26 May] Approx 1/4 of All PBPs have shipped - first users should get their shipping messages today.
[edit 27 May] Second portion of PBPs will be picked up by DHL  on May 28. 
[edit 29 May] You can expect to see more dispatch notifications early next week.
[edit 1 June] Next portion of PBPs have started shipping. I know some of you have already gotten their tracking numbers, more will get theirs in next few days. If you don't get a DHL notice in the next couple of days, don't worry as ~40% of the PBP batch is yet to ship. 
[edit 2 June] Third portion (3 of 4) of PBPs will go out first next week, due to all PinePhone labels being redone which consumes a lot of man-hours.
[edit 4 June] We're aiming to have the next round of PBP shipments (3/4) out the door mid next week (expect info  June 9-11th)
[edit 8 June] We've received an abnormal amount of issue report from the first 2 PBP batches that have gone out. I won't go into reasons for this situation here as it is beyond the scope of this thread. What we will do in the upcoming shipments is manually review all Pinebook Pros slated to go out in sub-batch 3 and 4. This way we will assure you're PBP is in great shape when it ships out.
That said, this QC process takes time, and so the next sub-batch of PBPs will first ship the coming week (June 15-21). Thank you for your patience.
[edit 12 June] All remaining PBPs are undergoing QA currently (see 8 June update for details) and sub-batch 3 and 4 will be going out together next week. This means that all remaining PBPs will ship next week (may run into the following week).
[edit 15 June] PBPs which have been started shipping again - shipments will continue over the course of next couple of days. Many of you can expect to receive your DHL shipping notice soon.
[edit 18 June] With a small number of exceptions (instances where special handling is required by regulation) all remaining PBPs should ship by the end of this week and I expect that if you're waiting for a unit then you'll have it no later than in 10 days time. This concludes the PBP update section.
[edit 30 June] I am aware that there is a small number of people who are still waiting for the PBP to arrive -- it is my understanding that the delay is caused by the DHL labeling some units as 'spacial handling' causes. These units will depart after July 7th.
[edit 1 July] The small number of outstanding Pinebook Pro's will ship out this Friday, July 3rd. 
[edit 8 July] All outstanding Pinebook Pros should have now shipped out. To those affected we apologize - some orders were deemed logistically challenging by DHL, and had to be bundled together to ship out. You should receive a shipping notification within the next 72hrs.

PinePhone
First PinePhones UBports CE edition will begin shipping on Thursday, May 28.
[edit 27 May] All DHL shipments are scheduled for May 28.
Asendia has indicated to us that they will be ready for shipment on June 2; I'll update you on how many rounds of Ascendia shipments there will be closer to the date, when they're ready to inform us about shipping restrictions that will apply to us.
[edit 28 May] PinePhones shipped via DHL will be sent out June 1st due to some unforeseen circumstances at the factory.
[edit 29 May] Users waiting for PinePhones shipped via DHL will be notified of shipment early next week; shipping staff making their way with the PinePhones to Hong Kong over the weekend. Asendia has not yet confirmed the June 2nd shipment date.
[edit 1 June] PinePhones shipping via DHL and FedEx have started going out - you can expect to receive a DHL or FedEx notification in a matter of a day or two. Quick note re. FedEx - I don't know if more phones shipped via FedEx will go at a later date (stay tuned). The shipping team is still waiting for word from Asendia.
[edit 2 June] An issue with DHL has occurred. All shipping labels for the DHL batch have to be redone, which will take approx 48hrs. New shipment date set for Thursday, June 4th.
[edit 3 June] Team will wrap DHL-batch related tasks today and we're on  schedule to ship tomorrow, Thursday June 4th.
[edit 4 June] Those of you with DHL shipments should get your shipping information tomorrow - the 5th - or the following day. Asendia has informed us they'll have an update for us on Sunday, June 7th.
[edit 8 June] My apologies for keeping you in suspense for a day longer - I was obtaining all relevant information.
Asendia have presently informed us that, in the immediate future, they'll be able to ship to France and Switzerland. However, for information about shipment to other countries we'll have to wait longer.
A this point we're working on giving you three options:

1. Stick with your Asendia shipping and wait until it goes out
   
2. Upgrade to DHL shipping via the PINE64 store. We're working on a system to upgrade your current shipping to DHL; it will be available later this week.
   
3. Cancel your order by emailing sales@pine64.org
   

How can I use  eMMC module to be  the main memory (OS and data) instead of SD card ? (Android7 on Sopine with BaseBoard)  

hello i would to buy a pinephone do you an adress for france
thank you 
i would be happt to have some comments from frenc users too

Hi, my pinebook pro recently stopped working.

Symptoms:
1. when https://forum.pine64.org/member.phpbooting from built in memory, power led lights red and thats all - there is no image on the display (display does not turn on at all)
2. when booting from sd card with manjaro, pinebook turns on, power led starts red, but after some time turns green. Then i can toggle num lock/caps lock leds (works with both internal and external keyboard), but still - display is not enabled.

I've tried starting pinebook using either original adapter or usb c power adapter or with no external power - no luck.

Additionally I've tried to turn on pinebook with all internal plugs disconnected (excluding display and keyboard), but this changed nothing.

Before the notebook stopped working I've replaced default, old manjaro repositories with new and started update. The update failed to updated some things (cant remember which, but I don't remember it being anything important/system related). I can't remember exactly- I think after the update i managed to reboot the netbook, but something was not working so I decided to make clean install using SD card. I mange to boot into GUI from SD card, copy files from  /home to NVMe drive. Then i flashed manjaro installer onto sd card and installed the OS. It finished, but i couldn't boot OS (there were some glitches). I switched  sd cards (the same model) and repeated process with the second card.

At some point the display stopped turning on. 

I have soldered myself audio->uart adapter, switched internal uart switch, but i got no luck seeing any messages on the debug console (maybe i have to do something to enable debug output?)

Is there anything i can do to debug/repair the problem?

Thanks in advance for your help ;]

Hi,

Silly me. But I have been looking on https://www.pine64.org/pinebook-pro/ and https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebo...wer_Supply but I find the details about the powersupply a bit vague.

The only info I could find was on https://store.pine64.org/?product=14%E2%...ember-2019 where it said: Power Supply included, comes with both US and EU plugs

But I would suggest a slghty more organised way of presenting the information in the store.

Regards, Hugo.

how long will it take when you do the cheap ship option

I just installed debian bullseye t'other day, with the 5.5 kernel and I love it, mostly.

One thing that surprised me, and concerns me, is cpu temps.

While playing music on youtube with a static image, (no moving graphics), and reading one of my forums, I saw temps hitting 67C.

That's absurdelly hot, Even my big Nvidia cards don't see temps like that.
Now, ambient temp is 80f, no sunlight, and the body of the pinebook is scalding hot.

I pulled out my marble dough making board, and put the pinebook on top of it on the rubber stand-offs, not much temp change. When I moved the pinebook pro so that half of the rubber washers are hanging over the side, (thus the magnesium case is directly touching the marble) temps drop to a much more reasonable 42-55C.

Is this normal? I don't remember temps like this with the stock debian oldstable the pinebook came with.

htop shows 1.97, 2.6, 3.70 for load averages, most of it is firefox.
I'm looking at temperatures with gkrellm and inxi -Fix. the other temperature sensor (whatever it is) only reads 18C.

Is what I'm listening to, as you can see, it's just a single static image, I am using a USB DAC, HiFimeDIY Audio SA9023 USB Audio type: USB
because the stock soundcard and speakers, well, frankly, blow. Using an external DAC is so much better, it's worth lugging around, especially since I don't have to lug around a power supply.

Laptop is plugged in, at the moment.

TIA, for any information, suggestions.
