Bug Broken boot: What am I missing?
Posted by: mkosarek - 09-07-2023, 11:56 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (1)

Hello all!

I am currently debugging why my RockPro64 is failing to boot. I am connected via UART, and I appear to be stuck trying to grab some `boot.scr.uimg` file from the network. This happens even if I don't have an SD card inserted into the SBC, so I imagine it's something fundamentally broken.  The output is:


Code:
[color=#000000]DHCP client bound to address 192.168.1.2 (2 ms) [/color]

TFTP from server 0.0.0.0; our IP address is 192.168.1.2; sending through gateway 192.168.1.1

I can drop to a shell and start doing things, but I am unsure of where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!


  Will it be possible to upgrade the Pinebook Pro if/when a newer model is released?
Posted by: Rat24 - 09-06-2023, 05:06 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (4)

Basically just wondering if it would be possible to replace parts in the Pinebook Pro with parts from a newer model, assuming one will even exist. Specifically the main board. I imagine a new laptop using the Quartz64 board is inevitable.


  Camera stops working after resume from suspend
Posted by: jchw - 09-06-2023, 08:39 AM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (3)

Hey all. I have a PPP and I am running Mobian Trixie + Phosh. I have GNOME Snapshot installed via Flatpak, and I have PipeWire set up as the system audio daemon.

GNOME Snapshot works quite well right after booting, but after suspending the output in snapshot is blank.

Now, I want to debug this, but I haven't found any leads. I am more than happy to get my hands dirty. I tried searching for this issue on Google a few times, but either Google fails me, or it seems there is not much written about this issue. I can see that PPP camera goes through Pipewire and libcamera, but I don't see any obvious issues from the Pipewire PoV and restarting the Pipewire daemon does not help.

Anyone know what I can do here? Again, happy to get my hands dirty, but I am having a bit of difficulty finding threads to pull on.


  Software app in postmarket gnome shell

  Onscreen keyboard missing Arch Plasma Libreoffice
Posted by: DaForest - 09-05-2023, 07:03 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - No Replies

Has anyone been able to solve this?
I'm using Arch Linux Plasma on the PPP and everything is perfect except no onscreen keyboard in Libreoffice. I have installed the compatibility package KDE integration for Libreoffice and still no luck. I have also noticed that Libreoffice as a favorite in Folio screen will not stay after reboot. The original install of Arch Plasma works fine and Libreoffice has an onscreen keyboard which is the Suru version with all the themes. After a major update that Suru keyboard is replaced by Maliit and the onscreen keyboard no longer functions in Libreoffice. Onscreen keyboard works every where else. I have also tried Onboard and no luck there either.
Any idea's?


  Wrong GPS Position
Posted by: derbaertigefrytz - 09-03-2023, 01:10 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (2)

Hello together,
is there any option to calibrate the gps hardware, or to enter something like "correction value"?

I own two Pinephone64 3MB devices, that I bought about begin of 2020.
From day one, both devices showed my GPS position wrong. After some time of warmup, they find that, what they think is my position and show it in the map. However. the position is always about 300 ft south west my real position. 

This error does not change over time (after more warmup), not from distro to distro and not from version to version.
It is not related to my actual position. It seems not to be related to the devices regional settings.

As I was very unsatisfied by other Pinephone / Mobile Linux features, I let it go, hoping, this would be a bug, someone else would report.
Am I missing anything?
Best regards
Frytz


let me add, that I use the devices in Europe


  [Article] Star64 JH7110: Power Up the Display Controller with U-Boot Bootloader
Posted by: lupyuen - 09-02-2023, 10:13 AM - Forum: General - No Replies

In olden days we’d "peek" and "poke" the Display Controller, to see weird and wonderful displays. Today (46 years later), we poke around the Display Controller of Star64 JH7110 RISC-V SBC with a modern tool (not BASIC): U-Boot Bootloader!

In this article we discover…
(1) U-Boot Commands "md" and "mw" for Dumping and Writing Memory
(2) That we use to power up the Video Output and Display Controller on the StarFive JH7110 SoC
(3) By modding the JH7110 Registers for Power Management Unit, Clock and Reset
(4) Also how we’ll create our own Display Driver for JH7110
(5) In spite of the Missing and Incorrect Docs
