So I decidd to install my RockPro64 in the Pine64 aluminum case and I'd like to monitor
the CPU temperature. The version of htop I have -- htop 2.1.0 -- does not have a CPU temp
monitor. Armbium/Bionic 18.04 version of htop did have a temp monitor. ~~83*C.
The case is nice and toasty (...like my Odroid N2 heatsink...)

How/What can I do to monitor the CPU temp?

TIA,

Hey there, fellow Piners!

I know it's not the most popular OS option for the PBP, but I love the simplicity and features available in ChromiumOS. I currently run ayufan's R77 build on my eMMC, and it's awesome, but I'd really like to see a working Crostini, and Android apps, if possible. The initial Chromium images were ready and available by the time most started getting their PBPs, and I imagine could probably benefit from some of the improvements from other kernels, since then.

From what I can tell ayufan is pretty busy with expanding the Linux support for the PBP, so I don't want to bother him with any requests. That man has given this community a lot of software already. I know I've used a lot of his builds across several Pine devices. I've tried to take this on myself as well, but I keep finding build documentation that isn't fully up-to-date and stops my progress, Google has been blocking me from setting up the necessary APIs, and plainly: I have no idea what the hell I'm doing.

This brings me to here and now. I'd like to commission a developer to create a more featured Chromium build for the community. As stated above, I know I really want to see a build with working

• Crostini
  
• Android apps (from what I've read I think Android apps should work if Linux Beta does) This should get easier as CrOS develops and transitions to using ARCVM.
  
• the built-in cam (Currently works when using setup/settings to take a profile picture, but nowhere else.)
  
• retain suspend functionality (most of the OS options, especially with mainline kernels, seem to have lost this) At this point, I already know we'll have to make sacrifices to maintain S3 sleep. From what I understand it's possible to use up to v5.8 for the kernel with BSP uboot, though.
  
• one of the modified u-boots with SD or NVMe boot priority Now the latest mrfixit2001 BSP uboot already includes the traditional and additional boot priorities. Mainline uboot also includes these, in addition to USB IIRC.
  

Apologies if this has been discussed before but after having trawled the forum and interwebs all day, I have been unable to find a vector graphics file for the Pine64 pinecone logo. Are any assets like this available? I have seen people make wallpapers with in other threads and they have used the logo. I just can't seem to find the logo anywhere. Maybe it is somewhere really obvious but my Google-fu has left me by now.

Many thanks for any help with this.

I just received my PBP and wanted to install an SSD. Call me stupid but I don't see how I'm supposed to attach that ribbon cable. It just doesn't reach

Hello,

I've finally managed to build a stub for the PineTime using the NRF52-DK board. This allows me to run the same code on the NRF52-DK and on the actual PineTime HW. There are some limitations (no HR sensor, no vibrator,...) but it allows to do some test, debug and developpment.

I've documented the build in my repo : https://github.com/JF002/Pinetime/blob/m...Nrf52DK.md.


Happy hacking

  
    How do I load an OEM Debian from mrfixit on to a eMMC  ?

 Can I install it the same as an sd card ?

  Using a eMMC to usb adapter from the Pine Store  ?

  Just use etcher to install it from a download on another computer  ?

            Thanks  BC

hello,

I get my PBP.
I want to add Chinese support.but when I goto Control Center-->Look and Feel,I can't find Languages.

How can find the Language?

thanks.

Excuse me, is the 128GB upgrade for the Pinebook Pro still available today, stated in this page?https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=7093 If so, how to state this in my order?

OK, so I got my Pinebook Pro this week, and ran into a strange network configuration issue (with the default Debian OS): I can only access part of the internet ... a couple of the hosts I can't get to are slashdot.org and github.com (!)

I have a hidden (non-broadcast) wifi router with manually configured hosts (no DHCP) so I set up the PBP the same as every other device on my home network (had to create the connection first, the go back and edit the IPV4 setting since I don't use DHCP). I can get to some things (google, youtube, pine64,.org, ... haven't tried alot) but other destinations like github are "Destination Host unreachable" when I ping by name or IP.

When I type "netstat -rn" I see an extra route for 169.254.0.0 I think is associated with "link-local" (IPV6?) Don't know where that's set or how to get rid of it. I removed the entry by hand using the route command, but it didn't fix my problem.

I tried the latest debian build (dated 12/26) from an SD card with the same issues (not surprising). I also tried manjaro from and SD card, and things worked fine from there. No difference in how I set up the network, but the routing table was correct  and I seemed to be able to ping or connect to all of the hosts I tried.

Anybody have any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions?

two days in and it's already bricked! D:

after flashing a custom-built manjaro image to emmc, the pbp won't boot any more. not from emmc, but also not from sdcards (tried multiple) or usb sticks (tried multiple), neither with the default debian image nor with a stock manjaro image, regardless of whether emmc is enabled or disabled via the hardware switch (or even present). power led stays off, whether a uart cable is connected or not (or the uart is even enabled via switch).

looking at uart logs it seems that the chip doesn't even reach uboot. when booting with emmc disabled it comes out of DDR init just fine, but the boot stage isn't happy:
