  new pinephone regular model with nano-sim slot
Posted by: zetabeta - 09-24-2023, 12:25 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - No Replies

new pinephone regular model with nano-sim slot.

this is a small proposal, but i think it is not a huge change anyway. micro-sim slots starting to be an unnecessary inconvenience.

alternately, newer phones could be nano-sim only.


  How to install arch with FDE

Hello, is there a way to install arch with FDE?


  Powering off PPP for night to activate the PPP alarm clock morning
Posted by: raboszcz - 09-23-2023, 05:53 AM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (5)

To this aim I have two alarms set up on my PPP. The first one wake up my PPP from the poweroff to the standby mode. This first alarm does not activate the alarm clock on PPP but wake up PPP from poweroff mode. The second alarm set up 5 minutes after the first turn the proper alarm on PPP.
Thanks to such a solution, my PPP is turned off by nights saving battery, and simultaneously, it turns on on time morning when I am waking up Smile 

I use PPP as a daily phone (phosh on postmarket OS).


  Schematics for components not on the main board
Posted by: ado - 09-22-2023, 08:24 AM - Forum: Development Discussion on PineTime - No Replies

Hello, I've been looking at the PineTime schematics, and I don't see any documentation on what is connected to the other ends of the various connectors on the main board. Is there some additional documentation about those components? For example, I'm curious on what is attached to the KEY connector - I can't quite tell from the main board schematic what exactly would go on the other end.


Exclamation Ethernet regression on Linux Kernel 6.5.4?
Posted by: Deathcrow - 09-21-2023, 06:03 AM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - Replies (3)

Today I tried upgrading my board to the 6.5 series kernel and it seems eth0 no longer shows up.

the typical "rk_gmac-dwmac" dmesg entries don't show up at all.

Anyone else facing this issue? This is a headless system and debugging via UART isn't much fun, so I've booted back into the working 6.4 kernel.


  SATA keeps crashing
Posted by: JPT223 - 09-21-2023, 03:23 AM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

Hi,

I had several problems with my harddrives during burn in test. I believe I made it more stable by using an overpowered beQuiet ATX power supply.
But still after about 10 hours of burn in, one of the drives disappeared from system.

is there anything I could do about it, or should I try a different SATA adapter?
It's a ASM1166 based one.

thanks
JPT

  A post about a Pine-64 Wi-Fi ethernet router project board and enclosure?
Posted by: Omnios - 09-20-2023, 11:02 AM - Forum: General - Replies (1)

I really like the idea of what is possible with the Pine-64 project boards and the possibility of making new projects boards and parts. One item I would defiantly like to see would a project barebones Pine-64 Ethernet / Wi-fi router project board. This would require pine-64 base components, ethernet input and 4 ethernet output ports. Possibly two wi-fi modules or even three counting on needs to allow a user to individually channel wi-fi output. Now the biggest part behind such a project would be the software behind the router and is important for flexibility and advanced security settings to do things current market wi-fi routers can not do.

The big part behind this would be that it is a project board possibly using advanced router Linux software for router management and firewall security. As for if this would sell ok I would defiantly order one and have been wanting to build a wi-fi router with Linux software for a very long time. The end result would be a commercially available router that can out perform existing routers on the market and run advanced software on a commercially available platform.


  Some keyboard keys type two lettters
Posted by: lee19gs - 09-20-2023, 02:16 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (2)

Hi all,
My pinetab arrived about a month ago, and I will kind of admit, I am the stereotype that jumps into linux-based OSes while knowing nothing about them. I've searched all over google and couldn't find ANY results about the problem I am experiencing: My keyboard's keys aligned on 8 and 9's vertical axis all type two letters incorrectly. So for example, if I wanted to type "8 9 i o k l , ." it outputs as "98 98 oi oi lk lk ., .," Anyone have any clue what could be causing this?

I recently upgraded uboot after upgrading manjaro and it suggesting a uboot upgrade.  I am now unable to boot to my Kali SD card image as I could previously.


  Is Dev kit still a must for application programming in 2023? thx
Posted by: ccchan234 - 09-18-2023, 10:10 PM - Forum: Development Discussion on PineTime - No Replies

hi,

1. just ordered a sealed version as i saw people on youtube (likely the leader from wasp-os) could still use bluetooth to flash OS, flash software to pinetime.

2. this post from lwn also claims that unless doing very low level development, otherwise it's not necessary:
PINE64 does sell a developer kit, which has the same hardware as the PineTime but is not sealed, allowing access to pins for resetting and reflashing the watch. Developers who want to work on the bootloader will probably want a developer kit, but, because of the watchdog, it should not be necessary for other development. The developer kit is currently out of stock, but it appears that this is temporary. It is also possible to break the seal and open the watch, but there is a risk of damaging the hardware.

3. i knew sometimes if the watch freezes, having the kit could instantly reboot it and it is more reasonable than wait till it drain, but the kit is semi...either you drill a hole, solder some wires and cover up the watch,
OR it would be one that easily tear away. so, in addition to money (which i could afford next month), there still a lot of DIY to do.

So, i just write some simple programs, esp with help of gpt4 for application. if it freezed once/twice per month, i am ok to wait till it drain.
then can i avoid the dev kit? avoid the soldering and drilling as i dont have these DIY tools myself.


thanks
