Hi,

I got "old" A64-DB-Rev B board, which looks perfect for building web-radio with IR remote. I would like to use simple LCD display (2 lines 16 characters) and if possible read mp3 from USB keys. I can use external monitor only to  configure the web-radio.

Unfortunately I did not find tutorial for this. Does somebody know some link ?

As I am familiar with Xubuntu, so I tried to configure an SD card with Armbian buster 5.4.20.7  : Boot is ok but I can not get any sound  on the headphone jack whatever I plug into. I put on SD a wav file to check the sound.

• aplay -l gives card0 : sun50ia64audio and card 1 : allwinnerhdmi
  

• aplay -vv 'track 1.wav' looks ok on screen, card0 is used and vumeter is dancing from 0% to 100 %, but no sound at all !
  
• I tried 'alsamixer' and play with all controls without good understanding : Still no sound.
  
• I tried to configure another SD card using Armbian bionic 5.4.20.7  : Sames results.
  

Hi Pine64ers,

I would like to buy a PBP primarily for learning the ARM v8 architecture. 

My initial thinking is to do some kernel hacking of some open source OS. In terms of learning, which OS should I go for? In some BSD documents, it takes two identical machines with their com port connected and use the debugger to step through the kernel execution. Is this the case for PBP? If so, how could that be done? If this is not the way to do it, what is the recommended way?

My primary objective is learning the ARM v8 architecture. So things like performance and security is not a concern - at least for now.

Thanks community.

Another quick question: Is it possible to use 8G or even 16G RAM with the PBP?

Hey,

I'm just wondering if anyone can provide information about shipping for these phones. I'm one of the people that saw that they had some phones in stock again. But It's almost been a month now and I haven't received any emails. I'm assuming maybe the virus is still delaying that. But now there is a Ubports edition that I heard is a newer hardware revision available for sale. I don't know why I would want to wait just as long to get the older hardware..

Apologies for the newbie question, but I've been stymied on this so far-- what's a good way to get the PBP battery status (percentage or time remaining, plugged in or on battery, etc) on the command line? 

If it matters, I'm on Manjaro 20.04.

Hello,

I left my phone without the battery in for a few days, and I cannot get it to turn on now. I have attempted to leave it plugged in to charge for over 3 hours, but i see no indictation it is charging.

I have also tried holding the power button for over 30 seconds after charging, but have had no success.

Is there any other way to turn the Pinephone on?

Thank you!

Hi!

I'm planning to buy this module, though I have some questions about it.

First, does it have compatiblity issues? I've read that in the past there were problems with the WiFi module - though I'm not sure it was the same model.

Second, what speed can it achieve on 5Ghz? I haven a 1000/1000 Mbps connection, so a minimum 200Mbps down and up would be reasonable for me.

Third, do I need to get an antenna for it?

Fourth, is it easy to unplug the chip? I have two RockPro64 (2GB/4GB version), I plan to use it for one, but there could be occasions where I'd like to plug it in the other one.

I have a couple of the OG Pine64.  I think one is 1gb, the other is 2gb.

I ordered a couple Wireless USB remote controls (hopefully they work).

I want to set this up so that me and my kids can share the old school video games I enjoyed 30 years ago.

What OS should I start with?


Is there a step by step tutorial that I could walk me through the process of setting up / installing what I need?

Thanks

Hello pinebookers,

I tried the Wifi privacy switch (pine+f12) and the wifi instantly stopped working.

But after doing Pine+f12 and seeing blocknum blink two times and restarting, wifi is not working.
I cant even see wlan with iwconfig (no wireless extensions) and ifconfig only shows lo.

Attached is a photo of dmesg | grep wifi

Thank you!

EDIT: Booting Manjaro from an SDCard has the same issue. ANd rebooting after pine+12 does not help :O

Hello, I am attempting to install Manjaro but micro sd is not booting up before emmc. I have already run Mr. Fixits script a couple months ago, but see no button or icon to update again, which is what I am assuming is what I need to do so I can boot to micro sd finally. Question is, how to I update if the .sh file is not in the folder it is supposed to be in. Do I download an update manually? Do I run a command of some kind??

GPS was working fine before but it stopped working in #271 


How do you enable it?
