Hi all, not able to find similar reports on this forum I'm wondering if I'm the only one having this issue with the trackpad mouse pointer movement:

When I stop displacing my fingertop over the trackpad, the mouse pointer will not stop immediately. During one or two seconds (at most) it will continue to slow down to a halt, usually about 5 to 10 screen pixels further.

The same delay can be noticed when starting a slow (or short) movement. My finger is moving but the pointer remains at it's place, seemingly waiting for some minimal fingertop displacement before actually starting to move.

This all makes the finer mouse actions VERY hard. Trying to grab a window border (for resizing) for example is nearly impossible!

I did a firmware upgrade from https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/pineboo...rd-updater

I've tried all different touchpad settings (acceleration, sensitivity, threshold) and tinkered with synclient parameters as described on https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebo...pad_tuning 

Also tried different OS images including Chromium from SD, all suffer the same touchpad issue.

Is there anything solution?

Hello everyone,
I've been fiddling with my PBP with the default debian desktop for a while now. I've met some problems because it appears the kernel used is for arm64 architecture, while the userspace is armhf (32-bit arm by default).
This makes hard to build certain software (e.g. buildroot, esp-idf, crosstool-ng...) because installers download the 64-bit version of the sources (following the architecture given by `uname -a`) which then cannot be compiled by the 32-bit gcc.
While trying to work around this limitation I'm afraid I botched my debian installation and now apt doesn't work.

I wanted to start clean again so I prepared an SD with Debian Desktop. I can successfully boot from it, but from there I expected to see instructions to move the installation to the eMMC.

How should I move the installation to the eMMC from an SD booted OS?

I spent an hour or two this weekend enabling the SPI NOR for use as a filesystem for MicroPython on the PineTime (this is how I plan to support persistent user-supplied code).

I couldn't make head or tail of the responses I was getting from the device until I ignored the entry page (https://www.pine64.org/pinetime/, 8.5MB of FLASH), the schematic (PM25LV512) and the wiki (MX25L6433F) and took a hi-res photo of my PineTime instead... With a bit of care... and photographs from multiple angles I have been able to read XT25F32B of my own device.

So... armed with this I've got things working nicely (main thing is that having only 4MB means the part doesn't implement can't use 4 byte addressing).

Just thought I'd post here to help future adventurers (and to encourage an update to the pinetime/ page linked to above). I'll tackle the wiki myself in a moment...

Hi,
where can I find the most complete mainline kernel tree (i.e. v5.5.2) git repository for the PinePhone for self-compilation?
linus/master is missing sun50i-a64-pinephone.dts.
BR & thanks.

When writing the image to both my sd card or the emmc on my pinephone, ubports will not resize the file system to use the whole storage device. Instead it creates a 3.7gb partition with the rest as unpartitioned space. This results in me having no space to install or download anything. I have been playing around with fdisk and I just cannot get it to resize the partition to use the entire drive. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

I'm running Manjaro on a pinebook pro.  What are your thought on cpu governer.  Should I use schedutil for day to day or ondemand.  Also, if I'm going to use this for recording pro audio, should I set the CPU to "Performance" or would I see no improvement from schedutil/ondeman.

Thanks!

I had a complete freeze and failure on ANSI PBP while running a Debian dist-upgrade (Bullseye).
The system now boots to login, including with stock MrFixit, but there's no keyboard or trackpad input of any kind - this includes USB KB inserted any stage, prior to or after boot.

I've tried different SD, eMMC, and disconnecting nvme. This occurred with a modified image, but KB problems are present on stock image from SD and original u-boot.

One of my eMMC images was quick enough with original uBoot, to allow me a capture of multiple firmware load failures - however I'm at a loss as to spotting what might be incidental and what is catastrophic:

Hello,

Does anybody know if SailfishOS on PinePhone will ever include Android App Support ?
I have Sailfish on Sony Xperia XA2 and it works fantastic.

Hi,

i found this:
https://www.ebay.de/itm/Laptop-iRULU-Spi...0005.m1851

i assume this is Pinebook with Intel Stuff inside ?
