| Requesting LCD Pinout Details |

Just looking for a little more info on the pinout connecting the LCD driver to the MCU. The schematic showing the J7 connector shows some of the pins but they don't quite line up with the naming of the pins on from the LCD datasheet. I'm hoping to find definitions for each of the lines used for interfacing with the LCD driver. Obviously not the pins from the driver to the LCD..
Any clarification is appreciated. Thanks!

This basically puts the amount of memory used at about 9.5GiB (used + DATA - TOTAL), that's on a system with only ~3.7GiB RAM available!
Code: $ free -h; zramctl
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3.7Gi 3.5Gi 34Mi 84Mi 224Mi 114Mi
Swap: 14Gi 7.9Gi 7.0Gi
NAME ALGORITHM DISKSIZE DATA COMPR TOTAL STREAMS MOUNTPOINT
/dev/zram0 lzo-rle 14.8G 7.9G 1.9G 1.9G 6 [SWAP]
And the system is still surprisingly responsive for a low-power CPU.

| Center touchpad under typing keys in future versions? |

Hello, I'm trying to retrain myself to hold my wrists higher and not accidentally move the cursor with the base of my thumb, but I realized that I only do it with my right hand, and then l Iearned that some laptops center the touchpad under the spacebar, or the g and h keys for this reason. The PBP centers it on the device, leaving it to the right of the lettered keys and probably contributing to accidental touches.
I think moving it to the left to align with the center of the typing position would be a good solution to reduce accidental touches, but I know some people like touchpad more on the right since they use it with their right hand. I use it with both hands, so wouldn't be negatively impacted if it was further left.

| Upper USB slot not working on FreeBSD |

I have FreeBSD-CURRENT installed onto SD card for the Pine64-lts. I boots fine so I installed X and Open-Motif, and they work fine as well. The only problem I have at the moment is the upper USB slot is not working for things like dongles for wireless keyboard/ mouse, or WiFi adapter, or flash drive. It works fine for all of those things under Armbian, so I know it's not a board issue. Is there a way to configure "something" to get it to recognize the flash drives and stuff?
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi all,
Is there some sort of step by step on how to install this? I have my NVMe drive and the new adapter but when I took the bottom plate off (using the nice guide) I wasn't sure where to put the thing.
Any help (esp with pictures) would be appreciated! For example, do I somehow remove the existing storage in the upper right-hand corner (looking down with the hinge at the top) and attach the adapter's cable? Where do I physically attach the adapter? There doesn't seem to be a female screw attachment point on the adapter (just a hole) to hold the NVMe drive in place.
Thanks!

| Wi-fi: "Device not managed" in Network Manager |
|

Hi all—my PBP has been offline for most of its life, but recently I've started seeing "Device not managed" in the Network Manager menu where my wifi connections should be. I understand this to mean that Network Manager thinks some other system is managing the wifi interface, but I haven't been able to find out what.
I've run through the steps in the wiki under https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=...iFi_issues but come up short—nothing changes. Advice I've seen on other forums hasn't helped either.
Here's my /etc/network/interfaces:
Code: # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d
(/etc/network/interfaces.d is empty.)
Here's /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:
Code: [main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
[ifupdown]
managed=true
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
Do you know where I can start looking to troubleshoot this? I see some wifi-related messages in `dmesg` but I'm not enough of a Linux networking guru to make sense of them.
Sadly, I do not have `ifconfig` or `iwconfig` or any such tools available, since they don't come in the stock install and I can't get online to install them.
(Last, semi-related thing: could someone let me know so I can edit the wiki to clarify which state of the wifi privacy switch is which? It says "2 blinks = enabled, 3 blinks = disabled", but I don't know if "enabled" means "the privacy switch is enabled" or "the wifi adapter is enabled". I've had to trial and error it.)

| Pinebook Pro won't turn on when unplugged |

Hi,
I just received my pinebook pro. It was working fine until recently.
It will not turn on without the power adapter being plugged in, anymore. The green power indicator will light up but nothing shows up on the screen. When I try to power it on when plugged in, it boots just fine and I can unplug it and it works perfectly.
My battery is at 62%.
Thank You

I am using Manjaro if that has to do with anything. The first time the default Debian started correctly. Even after I had just installed Manjaro, everything was working perfectly. Could it have anything to do with the update?

1. Doesn't have a search feature, or it hides. Maybe I found it once. I'd like to look up references to u-boot on the PBP because now that I have all the hardware to install my new SSD I have no idea how. I'd like to use grub-uboot and have the boot menu select Linux and OpenBSD (the PBP should be a mainstream OpenBSD platform as of about OpenBSD 6.7).
2. It doesn't email me, ever. I can subscribe to a topic and specify that I want emails on replies, I never get any. My email address in my profile is correct. I get emails from the Pine Store OK.
3. Posting pictures is weird and doesn't seem to work, even when I put them on Imgur and link them here.
These might be just configuration options in the board software. I'm sort of used to having them work on other boards.
