Is it possible to replace the board that comes in pinebook?

I'm trying to resurrect an old Pine64.  What's the recommended OS for this board?  It's A64-DB-Rev B

Hi,
I got my PinePhone a few weeks ago. It worked great for a few hours. I tried changing the OS and all of a sudden, it won't start. I tried doing some of things people mentioned in the forum but it didn't work for me. Now it's just sitting on my desk. 

If you want to try to fix and play with it, let me know. I can ship it to you, for only shipping. PM/DM me. Thanks/MS

I was just browsing through some AppImage stuff and stumbled across this:
https://github.com/probonopd/SystemImageKit

It made me wonder if this isn't ideal for SBCs, phones, etc.

What if /boot/grub2 (uboot in our case?) existed on some small bit of NAND,
along with /boot/SystemExtensions (chip/board-specific binaries not yet in mainline kernel, lima, panfrost, etc)
while /boot/iso is a symlink to the SD card with live ISO images with mainline kernels,
and persistent $HOME/ resides on either SD card or installed eMMC.

Is this a viable future path for SBCs and devices like PinePhone/Tab?

Hi,
I was just wondering how the video performance i.e. YouTube, Netflix, playing video files, games, etc. compares between Manjaro with Panfrost drivers and stock Debian. Also if anyone has played supertuxkart on the PBP, what graphics settings and FPS can I expect.
Thank you!

I am playing with pinephone and somehow its stuck with usb0 as network device attached to usb connector. I want to use mouse and keyboard and be able to switch between those two modes.

How do I do that?

PS. I think i had the OTG cable working once but now both my distros (MATE and XFCE) are stuck with usb-net.

Hi,

my PBP stopped charging via the plug a few minutes ago.

Battery is now at 89%.

Voltage on the Adapter is 5.39V.

Charging via USB still seems to be fine....

Anyone else has this or knows how to fix that?

Just not for me guys, make me an offer its sat in the box since day three of owning it. Has the m.2 adapter installed and comes with the usb programer also.

I am in the USA.

Whatever I do, I can not login to my Google Account with Chromium on Pinebook Pro.

"Less secure apps" is on.

Firefox works so far.

Hi Everyone,

How's your wifi performance? I'm interested in figuring out what the maximum is, and what kind of access point is going to work best with the pinebook pro.

Please post iperf measurements, ideally within LAN, and details of your wifi setup.

I'm getting 20.5 Mbits/sec to a wired machine on my LAN, using the 5Ghz band and a  NETGEAR C3700-100 router.  I'm sure you can do better than that!
