  Suggestion for the Store
Posted by: Tourma - 10-31-2023, 10:57 AM - Forum: General - Replies (3)

Hi all,

I have a few suggestions for improvements to the Pine Store.

1.  More photos. 
     More photos with more angles, and in relation to other products.  Like the Pine Dock with the Pinebook Pro.
     Images showing sizes/dimensions.  i.e. the length/width/height of a product with lines showing thus
2.  More robust descriptions.
     A lot of the products have very spartan descriptions.  Some just it's aspects and no hint at what it actually does. I suspect this is under the assumption that those who are looking at Pine products know what they are looking for.  Which I'm sure is true for a large segment of those purchasing stuff, but for example, me, I kinda know what I'm looking for, but I've had to ask questions here and on Matrix to clarify some aspects.  Like that the Pinecil needs to be plugged in to work.  Obvious once you think about it, but you have to think about it.

That's my two cents.

  How many HD's can I utilize?
Posted by: dairymilkbatman - 10-30-2023, 01:04 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (4)

Hello noob here,

I'm looking for a lot of space!

Simple question; what is the max number of drives I can get the rockpro to use? and how might I best go about that? I assume I can use x2 SSD's in the USB ports, but what else can I plug into?

edit: could not find this question answered, as simply as it is :p


  Installation from serial console
Posted by: oieza67 - 10-29-2023, 03:16 AM - Forum: General - Replies (7)

Hello to the community,

I'm trying to install u-boot on a microSD card from a serial connection using a USB to TTL adapter CH340 (exactly this one).

First I built u-boot from my Debian laptop using the board-specific official documentation, then I flash it on the microSD with the appropriate `dd` command : `

Code:
dd if=u-boot-rockchip.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=64 && sync
`

Then :
1. I set the microSD and plugged the dupont as recommended: GND on pin6, RX on pin8, and with without the TX on pin10.
2. Plugged the CH340, launched :
Code:
picocom /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 1500000
`
3. Power on

And... Nothing appeared.

I tried different combinaisons of dupont pluging, different built for u-boot but I didn't get any output.

What did I miss ?

  [Article] Star64 JH7110: Experiments with OpenSBI (Supervisor Binary Interface)
Posted by: lupyuen - 10-28-2023, 06:55 PM - Forum: General - No Replies

Bare Metal Programming on a RISC-V SBC (Single-Board Computer) sounds difficult. Thankfully we can get help from the OpenSBI Supervisor Binary Interface! (A little like BIOS, but for RISC-V)

In this article, we boot Apache NuttX RTOS on Star64 JH7110 RISC-V SBC to experiment with OpenSBI:
(1) Print to the Serial Console
(2) Set a System Timer
(3) Query the RISC-V CPUs
(4) Fetch the System Information
(5) And Shutdown / Reboot our SBC

Check out the article:

  Keyboard keeps disappearing the moment it's touched
Posted by: jojuma - 10-28-2023, 04:48 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Despite the sad news mentioned here I'd like to ask if the title's issue is something known or if it's an issue concerning specific apps or some system setting that is wrong...

E.g. in "GNOME Weather" or "Podcasts" when I try to search for a city or try to enter the URL of a podcast, the onscreen keyboard disappears the moment I press any button...

My only workaround is to connect to a physical bluetooth keyboard which then works flawlessly.

Since this doesn't concern one single app only, I thought this might be a some more general issue.
Is there something I can do about that?

I am on Mobian stable (debian bookworm)
GNOME 43 (phosh 0.24.0)
Kernel is 6.1-sunxi64

Thanks!


  Fedora 36 -> 37 upgrade kills system
Posted by: tydeman - 10-28-2023, 09:53 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

Years ago, I found instructions on installing Fedora 32 to a SD card.  I can no longer find those instructions.

Since then I have been doing upgrades in place: 32 -> 33 -> 34 -> 35 -> 37 via:
  dnf --refresh upgrade
  dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=37
  dnf system-upgrade reboot
However, doing the 36 -> 37 upgrade appeared to work, but when I boot 37,
I get a Kernel panic (Attempted to kill init!) soon after Switch Root.

I am looking for either of two things:
1)  Fix the existing Fedora 37 system
2)  Start over with a clean install (need instructions)

Manjaro on the internal "disk" still works (if I remove the SD card).
So, I should have the ability to edit things on the SD card once Manjaro has booted.
