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 : `

I found a really nice hack that bull dog clip handles fix in the pine time slot and seems lock in tightly

I used this to make my own wrist strap 

if anyone is looking make custom strap I found that this working so far the best i used epoxy to get the clip attached to the nylon


   

   

Bare Metal Programming on a RISC-V SBC (Single-Board Computer) sounds difficult. Thankfully we can get help from the OpenSBI Supervisor Binary Interface! (A little like BIOS, but for RISC-V)

In this article, we boot Apache NuttX RTOS on Star64 JH7110 RISC-V SBC to experiment with OpenSBI:
(1) Print to the Serial Console
(2) Set a System Timer
(3) Query the RISC-V CPUs
(4) Fetch the System Information
(5) And Shutdown / Reboot our SBC

Check out the article:

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!

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?

hello I would like to know if I can connect pinenote with starlite tablet via usb cable and hdmi adapter?

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

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?

Without BIOS, and with a mini sd card that just keeps getting jammed in deeper inside the mini sd port, what are my options?

Can I switch out the mini sd port or is it built too deeply into the SOC?

Can I get into the terminal from the Username and Password prompt when it defaults into its Manjaro stock OS?

Can I download a new os with a USB sd card reader.

What are my options?
