  Seeking help.
Posted by: C3lt - 05-22-2020, 07:58 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (2)

Hi,

I'm a total newbie to the pine64 phone.

I have no idea how to put an OS on to the phone, I've looked on the Internet but it goes over my head. I found UBports and downloaded their installer but it doesn't recognise the phone automatically.

When I select device manually, the pine phone is not on the list.

Is there a simple step by step guide on what to download on to the computer and how to download on to the phone.

I have Linux Mint as an OS on my computer.

I'm not a developer, so please be patient.

Thank you for your understanding.

  For sale: Pinebook Pro 64 GB, ANSI KB - anywhere in US
Posted by: xorpg - 05-22-2020, 07:51 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (9)

Hey all,

I bought my PBP before the quarantine thinking that it would be a great travel companion for my business trips.  With most business travel suspended, however, the PBP has gone mostly unused.  It is in like new condition, never traveled, no damage or scratches to the external case.  It comes with everything that was in the box (minus the box itself which I discarded), I will flash a fresh version of Manjaro ARM to it before shipping (or whatever OS you'd like me to).

Asking $160+shipping, will ship USPS anywhere in the US.  I'm in Pittsburgh if you are local and want to arrange a (socially distanced) pickup.  Thanks for looking and please let me know if you are interested by DM.


  Exposed vias for RGMII Ethernet
Posted by: ky56 - 05-22-2020, 02:16 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

I have not been able to find a board layout of the traces so far and I was wondering if there are vias for each the RK3399 balls are exposed on the under side pcb? If not would you consider making a future version of the PineBook Pro with Ethernet? Or at least breaking out the RGMII pins on a future board revision?


  Pinebook without stuck or dead pixel
Posted by: Timeo - 05-22-2020, 02:03 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (6)

Displays with defective pixels have been considered defective by users for years, whereas up to a certain number they are considered normal from the manufacturer's point of view. You write on your website:


Quote:Small numbers (1-3) of stuck or dead pixels are a characteristic of LCD screens. These are normal and should not be considered a defect.


That means it's a class II display (ISO 9241-307)

I understand that a guarantee for flawless displays increases the cost of the devices. Personally, I  find defective pixels extremely annoying and I'm certainly not alone. Is there a way to get a Pinebook with a guaranteed flawless display (class 0)? Gladly for an extra charge.


  OpenBSD 6.7 microSD card image
Posted by: krjdev - 05-21-2020, 06:25 PM - Forum: BSD on Rock64 - Replies (4)

Hi,

I have created an image from OpenBSD 6.7 for Rock64 board.

root password: rock64

I have added a user with the name rock64 (password same as username).

Following sets are installed:

  • bsd
  • bsd.mp
  • bsd.rd
  • base67.tgz
  • comp67.tgz
  • man67.tgz
  • game67.tgz
[Image: openbsd67-rock64_build2020-05-21_sets.png]

All current patches are installed.

How to use (You need a microSD card with at least 4GiB):


Code:
$ unxz -k openbsd67-rock64_build2020-05-21.img.xz
$ dd if=openbsd67-rock64_build2020-05-21.img of=/dev/sdx bs=1024


The image is on my private homepage (only 1TiB traffic):
[REMOVED]

SHA256 sum:
Code:
SHA256 (openbsd67-rock64_build2020-05-21.img.xz) = 2924afda7c3047e9e77e4e0410d667c24d4a1596d6a23016f1a2ffabe1b2454b

File size: 216MiB

Please can somebody also test the image and put it on a server with a greater traffic limit?
Tried it only with one  different microSD card.

  Offer: Pinebook Pro (64GB+UK KBD) Europe
Posted by: stapes - 05-21-2020, 12:32 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (15)

While i'm totally happy with my pinephone, i'am not using the pinebook pro very much.

Installed and testet the shipped Debian, Kali and Manjaro Distro's short-time, but not getting warm.
Seems that i'am focused too much in OpenBSD and my older Thinkpads. Another install would
be overkill and thats the reason for selling. 
I want to pass it on to someone who appreciates the device more.


Totally clean and without scratches, only small thing (out of the box):

The upper right corner is a bit lighter/ so more light comes from the corner.
If you push gently on the plastic frame, it dissapear - so i think it can be fixed -> maybe not enough
pressure from the back(?)
But its not a problem with a medium colored (darker) background and I was to lazy for disassembling
or shipping back to the pine-folk.

If anyone is interested, pls give me a hint via. pm.


  Serial Connection via SOcket CAT
Posted by: dustfinger - 05-21-2020, 09:16 AM - Forum: General - No Replies

I wrote Let SOcket CAT Be Thy Glue Over Serial. The article demonstrates how to connect to a login session over serial using SOcket CAT. In the article I connect to my PinePhone, but it will work for any device over serial. I thought it might be educational for some members of this community. Please feel free to leave comments.

Cheers!


Thumbs Down Still waiting for my phone, no reply from Pine
Posted by: rienesl - 05-21-2020, 08:50 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (18)

Hi,
I had ordered my Phone in the brave heart edition long, long time ago. It got shipped to Germany for whatever reason and got stuck there. Nothing moved for more than a month. Then suddenly the tracking of the shipment said, that there is no known shipment with the given tracking number. I tried to get in touch with Pine by mail countless times, but absolutely no reply. Anybody any idea? I can't claim back the money, because this is only possible for 30 days after the payment


Question What will you do after you bought the PineTab?
Posted by: Danct12 - 05-20-2020, 08:25 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (22)

Just want to ask the community:

  • Why did you bought the PineTab?
  • What you'll plan to do with the PineTab?
  • What do you think of it and will you recommend other people to buy it?
