Question 4-pin JST-XH connector specs and staggered HDD spinup with LSI SAS 9211-4i
Posted by: Gian - 07-30-2023, 05:01 AM - Forum: RockPro64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - Replies (1)

Hello.

I would like to know what is the maximum amperage of the 4-pin JST-XH connector since I am planning on powering 4 HDDs by means of it as well as whether it is possible to set up a staggered spinup configuration with the LSI SAS 9211-4i host bus adapter.

If the 4-pin JST-XH connector output current allows it, the project would entail splicing together two Pine64 power splitters somewhere between the cable input connector and the (seeming) buck converters.

Any advice on a suitable 230V 50Hz AC/DC PSU would also be appreciated.

Thank you.


  Booting from SD Works for Installers, not OS's ??
Posted by: Diagon - 07-29-2023, 07:30 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (3)

Odd PPP boot issue (Explorer Edition, 2022.01.27 - I had to install tow-boot on this one).  

I can pwr+vol.dn to SD when flashed with the tow-boot or mobian installer, but these fail to boot:

Mobian (via installer from SD->SD) (tried twice)
Manjaro (`dd if=manjaro.img of=/dev/mmcblk1` from Mobian on eMMC) (+ read/hash check)

From eMMC, both OS's work fine.  And, I've successfully installed both on SD with PP (OG).  I suspect there's something wrong in the boot sequence.  How might I debug this?


  Offline Store?
Posted by: mystery - 07-29-2023, 10:04 AM - Forum: General - Replies (5)

Is it possible to buy Pine64 hardware offline? Like, you go to a physical store, pay in cash, take your order, and that's it. Nobody cares what's your name and address. No delivery, KYC, etc. Shipping company, for example, can mess with the package or damage it.

Is *at least one* of the folowing options possible? It'd be great in the EU store. If not, are there any plans for that?

1. Anonymous orders (in person, or by email, etc.).
2. Cash payments.
3. Personal pickup of orders in the store.


  bought two pinecile's one is doa
Posted by: bm16ton - 07-28-2023, 02:04 PM - Forum: Pinecil Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

Hello, I recently bought 2 new official pinecile's v2 bl706. One works great, the other a gift simply shows a picture of a nail with with an X thru it, does this via usb-c pd or barrel (both of which work on other unit). Google didnt have anything bout that picture (hard to search for that tho) and I couldn't see anything in forums here about a nail with X. Clearly talking about the tip. Removed it cleaned it, made sure no debri on inside connections. Same thing. Is that a vague generic error picture or hopefully something fairly specific? Any webpage with the error icons explained? DOA seems crazy to me so I'm hopefull its something silly, cannot afford to buy another one. Never did look if a warranty of any kind exists. Thank you in advance.


  Booting from SD card on Pinetab2
Posted by: samochimaaron - 07-27-2023, 08:33 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (10)

Hello,
I recently received a Pinetab2, and I'm very pleased with the quality of manufacture. However, I wanted to try using Ubuntu touch or Mobian instead of Danctnix. I flashed the Ubuntu touch image listed on the releases page onto an SD card, plugged the SD card into the tablet, and turned it on. Every time I tried booting, it booted Danctnix. When I plugged the UART adaptor into the bottom USB C port and turned the switch to the "on" position, nothing at all booted. The same thing happened when I tried booting Mobian. 

I tethered the tablet to a phone and updated the Danctnix system, because I saw that on the most recent factory image, Mobian could supposedly boot without using the UART adapter. Nothing changed. 

I followed the instructions on this page to install Mobian. I installed U-boot, but I didn't see any change in behavior. According to the "About this System" page, the the version of U-Boot is 2023.07.02-00055-gc294612d38 and the kernel version is 6.4.3-danctnix1-1-pinetab2.

Does anyone have any suggestions?


  [Article] Star64 JH7110 + NuttX RTOS: RISC-V Semihosting and Initial RAM Disk
Posted by: lupyuen - 07-27-2023, 05:35 PM - Forum: General - No Replies

Apache NuttX RTOS crashes on Star64 JH7110 RISC-V SBC because there's no Semihosting. But no worries! We modified NuttX to boot with an Initial RAM Disk instead (initrd).

In this article, we find out…
(1) What’s RISC-V Semihosting
(2) Why it crashes NuttX on Star64
(3) How it affects the Apps Filesystem in NuttX
(4) How we replaced Semihosting by Initial RAM Disk “initrd”
(5) After testing on QEMU Emulator
(6) Thanks to NuttX on LiteX Arty-A7 for the guidance!

  How to include desktop file and icon in a postmarketos package
Posted by: patrickMcDonald - 07-27-2023, 12:34 PM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - No Replies

I am working on a GUI app for postmarket os that I wish to distribute via apk. I have successfully packaged the app using abuild, but after a day of searching, I cannot find any info on including a desktop file and icon image in the package. Does anyone know how to accomplish this. I am very new to postmarket os and alpine linux, so any help would be appreciated.


  Booting Explained please
Posted by: Ctrl_Amiga_1070 - 07-26-2023, 10:29 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (1)

This may have been asked before, I can't find it. Do we search for "start up", "Starting", Booting", Buzz", "Buzzing", "Vibrate", etc, you get the picture

If already explained, please post link.

My questions relate to "trying to boot new OS from SD-Card", and my inability to find the device (In fastboot mode I THINK).

Red LED Means
Blue LED = Fast Boot Mode
Green LED Means

Buzzing, vibrating at time of boot or booting
Single short Buzz Means
Long Buzz Means

Buzzing and flashing RED LED means

Whilst attempting the power on, press RE button, the phone Buzzed like 5 or 6 times and the RED LED blinked as well.
What does this mean?

Please and Thanks.

I would have thought this would have been in the manual, or on the main intro to your pinephone pro wiki page
Things to know and learn about your PinePhone Pro.

Oh! Whilst I am on this small soapbox, can we please separate all the devices into separate wiki's. I know it's like copy and paste for 90% but then you can add the wiki page to the forum page and vice versa. Which ever model you have, you know where to go, and should be following the correct instructions.
I was reading through something on not powering up, and thought "this reads weird" and then it was a Pine Book page. Be CAREFUL on Search

Thanks


Sad Couple of problems updating
Posted by: Ctrl_Amiga_1070 - 07-26-2023, 07:06 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (12)

Si I have purchased the pro 64 version, don't remember in its explorer pro or what. I have searched for "how to identify" which hardware modle i have but haven't found anything to confirm. I've QR scanned the two QR codes inside the device and one is for GSM Mobile 4g the other is 4g RAM.
It has Manjaro ARM installed.
Problem 1. Whenever "power" is connected (Battery or usb) it boots
Problem 2. No matter what I do, I cannot "shut down", it just boots again

Problem 3. cant connect adb to device.

Sort of problem. I've tried Power + vol-down & Power and RE button, as per instructions to get device into fastboot mode. I finally managed it, just now (why I am starting this thread) I think into fastboot mode. I have a permanent BLUE led, with usb cable connected to LINUX. However I can see two (2) new devices on my Linux PC.

BOOT_MNJRO
&
ROOT_MNJRO

I have access to both of these.

What do I do, Please?
Is my device in fastboot mode or some other mode?
