  Your lies cost me time and money
Posted by: hmmmmm - 02-16-2020, 07:16 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (16)

I had to wait an extra week and pay $15 because of the lies on the content declaration.

Why were there lies on the package about it's content and no one was informed about it?

The phone obviously isn't $25 and most definitely isn't a gift.


  where is the source code for the bootstrap OS?
Posted by: blicken - 02-15-2020, 09:15 PM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Where is the source code for the postmarket OS that ships on the pine phone.
Specifically, I want to look at the hardware test page that comes up for factory testing.


  can I get the hardware addresses of Pine Phones devices?

can I get the hardware addresses of Pine Phones devices?
I have tried sudo cat /proc/ioports
and some other commands that might work on more standard Ubuntu distros. this isnt a distro specific question, I just want the hardware addresses for the devices such as the motor, rgb LED, gps, acellerometer etc.


  Pinebook Pro ANSI pre-order
Posted by: Amandaville - 02-15-2020, 06:25 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

The PINEBOOK Pro ANSI page appears to have just changed from [Out-Of-Stock, estimated pre-order reopen in end of February 2020] -TO- simply [Out-Of-Stock].  Does this mean that pre-order is about to reopen?

  `dmidecode` crashes the system
Posted by: carletes - 02-15-2020, 04:33 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

(Copied from https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=7184 in case somebody is hit by this on a Pinebook Pro)


I use Puppet to configure my system. Puppet uses a tool called `facter` to gather information about the system. And `facter`, among other things, calls `dmidecode`. On my Pinebook Pro, calling `dmidecode` crashes the system. The power LED starts flashing with an amber light, and nothing works.

This happens both when running the standard Debian-based distribution which came with the Pinebook Pro, and the stock Debian setup from https://github.com/daniel-thompson/pineb...installer/

Something similar has been reported on Ubuntu 18.04: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...ug/1821632

It looks like `dmidecode` is broken on ARM systems. A commit was added to the `dmidecode` Git repo in August 2019 which seems to fix the issue: http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/dmid...8a5cf5ec1d

I have compiled `dmidecode` with the latest sources from http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/dmidecode.git/log/ and the problem is gone.

  Making phone calls
Posted by: PinePhoneCoder - 02-15-2020, 03:02 PM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (7)

I am trying to get the phone part of the PinePhone working, what I wrote here is what I tried, however I did not succeed yet and I hope you can help me with it.

I use this as a guideline:

(02-08-2020, 12:21 PM)kop316 Wrote: https://megous.com/dl/tmp/modem.txt

For the mixer it is written:
Quote:1) alsamixer

- set "Line Out Source" to "Mono Differential"
- Unmute "AIF1 Slot 0 Digital DAC"
- (optional) unmute the microphone / mute loudpeaker

And I tried to do that in bash
Code:
# Enable audio
sudo modprobe snd_soc_simple_amplifier
sudo modprobe snd_soc_simple_card_utils

# Unmute audio
amixer -c 0 set 'AIF1 Slot 0 Digital DAC' unmute

# Mute speaker (audio will loop otherwise trough the speaker and mic, terrible noise!!)
amixer -c 0 set 'Line Out' mute

# Unmute the ear speaker? (not sure)
amixer -c 0 set 'Earpiece' unmute

# Open microphone
amixer -c 0 set 'Mic1' unmute

# Set volume
amixer sset 'Line Out'  0%
amixer sset 'Earpiece' 100%
amixer sset 'Mic1' 100%

# Set mono
amixer sset 'Line Out Source' 'Mono Differential'

Next is how to send AT commands to the modem?

If I run the following command I get the modem device name and information:
Code:
/usr/share/ofono/scripts/list-modems

And I want to run something like:
Code:
sudo echo "AT+QTTS=2,\"Welcome to use the module of QUECTEL" > /quectelqmi_0

But /quectelqmi_0 needs do be a device file and it is not I guess.

Who want to help me out here?

Thank you in advance!


  glxgears showing 36FPS when it should be 60FPS I believe
Posted by: hex - 02-15-2020, 10:11 AM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (3)

Hi all,

As the title says, usually the FPS from glxgears should be near display's refresh rate.
Regardless of the OS, all of them show 36FPS, does that mean the screen's refresh rate is that low?

If not, why on earth the frame rate is that low? I set the governor to performance (to rule out CPU bottle neck), but nothing changed.

Thanks.


  Any one running any SDR solutions
Posted by: oxoocoffee - 02-15-2020, 09:10 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (7)

Hello,

I am thinking about getting PBP but wondering if anyone here is running SDR (Software Defined Radio).

1. What districts you using?
2. What hardware you using?

  • HackRF
  • RLT-SDR
3. Does GNU Radio works?
4. Any other software success stories?

Cheers


  How to Send a SMS text trough the command line
Posted by: PinePhoneCoder - 02-15-2020, 06:59 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Type in the terminal app of via SSH:

First enable the modem of your PinePhone if not done already:

Code:
sudo /usr/share/ofono/scripts/enable-modem
sudo /usr/share/ofono/scripts/online-modem

Then send sms text message:
Code:
/usr/share/ofono/scripts/send-sms /quectelqmi_0 +31628860414 "Hello world!" 0

Replace +31062880414 with the phone number or the desired receiver and replace "Hello world!" with your message.

With a cron job you could send a birthday message to your friends on their birthdays automatically. I will not explain how to do that, it is your home work from me. My birthday is at 15 Nov b.t.w. Big Grin
