Hello PBP users!

I am currently trying to work with the "rkdeveloptool", and I'm having trouble getting my PBP to show up as a USB device. I have successfully installed the "rkdeveloptool" on Ubuntu 19.04 (amd64). With my PBP I removed the bottom cover and, with no OS booted and the power off, pressed the "recovery" button once. As I understand it, this should cause the SoC to start in to a alternate mode (maskrom) where I can then manipulate it via USB on my other PC. I am using a USB A to USB C cable to do this. After connecting this cable, the PBP does not show up in Ubuntu. lsusb does not see the device, neither does the tool from rock-chip. I tried this again with all bootable media removed, it did not make any difference, also the only cable connected is USB C.

Any help would be amazing! Has anyone else had this issue? Am I stupid and missing something obvious?

Thanks!

I am pretty much looking for the topic, if anyone know of one, while the browser is plenty fast enough to handle interfacing with the web remote I need the USB passthrough that I can only seem to get from either the vmware remote console application or VMware workstation, neither of which are compatible with arm that I have found.

Edit: I am trying to connect to an VMware ESXI box over the network where the VM in question lives.

Heard about this product just today and my mind went wild! The first thing I wonder Is whether it will charge with alternate power inputs, such as USB power banks, a biolite stove, solar panels, or a 12V car adapter ( prefer not inverter ).

Let me know if you've tried any of these, how well it works, and any specific details. Thanks!

So I see that the /boot partition is mounted read-only.  Would there be any unforeseen consequences to changing the /etc/fstab to have it be mounted read-write?
(Increased likelihood of me accidentally nuking the boot partition is definitely a foreseen consequence)

All of these things may, very well, be addressed by the time you receive your phone, but I am just posting this in the even X or Y doesn't work/ is broken:

Where is the @ key on the Pinebook Pro?  It is configured as US in the keyboard config file but the @ key displays " when selected.  All the other keys seem correct.

Is there someone having success with installing Cura on the stock debian os ?
And if yes please share how

Hey everyone,

I'm as excited as the next person about getting my BH PinePhone. I've watched as people have announced getting their shipment emails through.

I know the big deadline for Chinese New Year was Jan 25th. I'm still without my shipment email - I ordered the phone on January 7th and have my order confirmation email and number.

I'm not in Germany (Spain to be precise).

My question is - is there anyone else in the same situation? On the Pine64 Discord I was told to give it until later today then send a support ticket.

First I wanted to check if I'm one of dozens? If not then maybe it's just some issue with my particular order.

Sorry to be that annoying "where is it?" person.

I want to make some direction regarding those recent "open" voices. Check https://www.pine64.org/2020/01/24/settin...nceptions/ and https://forum.pine64.org/announcements.php?aid=27 for context.

Yes, I've heard it too. And I can see two kinds of talking about "PinePhone openness".

• The first one is rational kind of "PinePhone vs Librem 5".
  
• The other is trolling on different server.
  

Hello PBP Posters.
I've had my pbp ansi for about a week.  Currently I have one issue to resolve.  I logged in to Chromium before I changed the key pad to english US. Now, unintentionally, I have a symbol for the UK pound in my keyring password for Chromium.  There is no equivalent in the english US layout.  Can someone provide directions on changing or eliminating this keyring for chromium?   So far pretty good with this device.  Chromium was glitchy and firefox would crash instantly. A mrfixit update help a lot. Firefox now works fine.
Thanks in advance!
