Has anyone looked closely at the work the RebbleOS folks did in creating an open source version of the Pebble OS?

It seems to be based on FreeRTOS and the Pebble hardware is very similar, although presumably we'd only use the center 144x168 pixels of the display.  https://github.com/PebbleA2/wiki/wiki/Watch-Comparison is a good summary of the pebble hardware.  https://github.com/ginge/FreeRTOS-Pebble seems to be the main site for the pebble firmware reimplementation.

The main limitation seems to be that "the Pebble hardware is very similar", that is, PineTime doesn't have a lot of extra CPU, RAM, or Flash to play with.  So the clone implementation can't cut corners, it would have to be at least as good as the original 2012 PebbleOS.  And PineTime has a lot of features that Pebble doesn't...

Still, it would be really nice to be able to cross-compile some of the old pebble watchfaces and see them run on new hardware -- or better, upload a .pbw directly to the watch via bluetooth.  https://developer.rebble.io/developer.pe...index.html documents the pebble APIs you'd need to reimplement.  I looked but couldn't find any documentation on the PBW file format for watch faces. https://github.com/pebble-dev/neographics has a reimplementation of the pebble graphics APIs.

I'm interested in comparing notes with anyone who's thought hard about this.

ANSI PBP, keyboard/touchpad firmware update applied. Using the Fn key with the keys on the top row, Esc through F8 seems fine:

Esc: Calls up the shutdown menu
F1: Brightness down
F2: Brightness up
F3: Seems to be the same as the Pine key? Presumably that's fine
F4: Mute
F5: Volume down
F6: Volume up
F7: Disables the trackpad
F8: Insert

However, F9 onwards seems wrong, both in what keycodes xev reports and in observed behaviour:

F9: Label says Print Screen, but instead Num_Lock
F10: Label says NumLK, but instead Scroll_Lock
F11: Label says ScrLK, but instead Pause
F12: Label says Pause Break, but instead Num_Lock

Other blue-label keys (ie. the numberpad keys, delete, home/end, page up/down) all seem to be mapped as expected.

All, just dropping a note.  Just opened my PBP and everything looks good.  Only issue I found was that while typing the double quote '"' and the at '@' were reversed.  It appears that this is because the default keyboard mapping was set to English(UK) instead of English(US).  

After changing it seems to be working as expected!

Is it possible to click 3rd mouse button when there are 3 fingers on touchpad?

I try to enter pine key and arrow key and I don't get any response

I just got my pine book pro, and I tried to connect it to a power bank (one that works with things like iPad and alike).\The pine book was saying charing but actually the battery was discharging.
I am now trying to charge with the provided supplier, but I wonder if the PBP is compatible to powerbanks at all no or there is an issue and I need to open my PBP to check out things.
Thanks.

 
I am wondering if someone working at UBPorts would be interested in posting on our Pine Phone Forum  ?

I for one would appreciate any inside information they can give here.

More than willing to make a PayPal donation to help their "Cause"

     Thanks  !

I looked up the camera that was listed for the cube camera, it was a bit vague, so could you tell us what options there will be and is it hackable for more fun.

I have tried to follow the Wiki section to set the power profile of the NVMe SSD.

        sudo nvme /dev/nvme0 id-ctrl /dev/nvme0 

returns:

        ps    0 : mp:3.30W operational enlat:0 exlat:0 rrt:0 rrl:0
                  rwt:0 rwl:0 idle_power:- active_power:-
        ps    1 : mp:2.70W operational enlat:0 exlat:0 rrt:1 rrl:1
                  rwt:1 rwl:1 idle_power:- active_power:-
        ps    2 : mp:2.30W operational enlat:0 exlat:0 rrt:2 rrl:2
                  rwt:2 rwl:2 idle_power:- active_power:-
        ps    3 : mp:0.0500W non-operational enlat:10000 exlat:45000 rrt:4 rrl:4
                  rwt:4 rwl:4 idle_power:- active_power:-
        ps    4 : mp:0.0050W non-operational enlat:10000 exlat:50000 rrt:4 rrl:4
                  rwt:4 rwl:4 idle_power:- active_power:-

Not really sure hot to decypher the output, but I'm assuming that ps 2 is the profile I want as its the lowest power with the drive operational.

I have tried setting this profile using 
        sudo nvme /set-feature /dev/nvme0 -f 2 -v 2

This seems to work until a reboot when it defaults back to profile 0.

Is there a command missing to save it to the NVMe?

Also after googling to try and find how to make NVMe setting persistant, I found some references to enabling Autonomous Power State Transistion rather than editing the power management. 
Which is the correct one to use APST (feature 0x0c) or Power Managment (feature 2) and how to make these setting persistent?

I'm considering using the PBP for online banking.  I was thinking about booting from an SD card just for this purpose.  Is anyone doing this now?  Which os would you suggest?  Are there any precautions I should take with that os?  Thanks.
