Optimising PineTime’s Display Driver with Rust and Mynewt


  Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe works on workstation but not Pinebook Pro
Posted by: mgchristensen - 12-28-2019, 02:10 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (4)

I have a Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe in a SSK Aluminum M.2 NVME external case, see here for the product on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MNF...UTF8&psc=1

I installed the gnome-disks utility on the Pinebook Pro to assist me with this.

NVMe and enclosure work without problem on my workstation running Fedora 30. Format, partition, read, write, all good.


dmesg reports:

However, the Pinebook Pro recognizes the enclosure when plugged in to a USB 3 port, assigning it the device file /dev/sda, but gnome-disks reports "No Media".  dmesg reports:

I note that there is a package named nvme-cli, is this necessary?

Same problem with the default operating system, and with an install of the Mandriva KDE image.

Is this the problem: [ 1499.490756] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Sense Key : Hardware Error [current], is the Pinebook Pro not capable of supplying sufficient current for this device?


Thanks for any ideas offered!


  Pinebook won't boot (from eMMC)
Posted by: brent.thierens - 12-28-2019, 01:30 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (4)

I tried to go back to the default install of Debian. However, after dd to the eMMC, the PBP doesn't want to boot. The active LED goes on and flickers for some time, the backlight goes on, then the power LED goes out and after some time the backlight goes out as well. Then everything starts again.
I'm coming from Manjaro if that matters. Any ideas on how to recover from this (SD boot works fine)


  Project Review
Posted by: moriel5 - 12-28-2019, 11:45 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (7)

Hello everyone.
While I'm no developer (yet, I need to be more organized to get to that point), I do have the know-how to be able to test the landscape for the PineTime, and therefore I had ordered a developer kit from the Pine shop, once I had realized that it is possible to do so.

To be honest, originally I was contemplating asking for a review sample of the development kit in order to "report", so to speak (english is not my native language), on the project's progress, however before I was able to come up with an idea of how to do so, it became possible order one from the store, and I decided, "whatever, this way I can also financially support Pine64, even though this is a stretch for my current financial situation".

So in short, I intend to start an ongoing review of the PineTime and it's development, once I receive my kit.
As for how often I shall post an update (I do not often have proper access to both my laptop and a stable internet connection at the same time), and where I shall do so (in addition to here), that I'll be glad to receive the community's opinion (I am currently thinking of the LinusTechTips and XDA-Developers forums).

I'd rather not post on Twitter or Telegram(no FaceBook, Mastodon, or most social platforms), though I may do so.

And I'd be very happy to receive comments and constructive criticism on my initiative.

  When would it ship?
Posted by: TG127 - 12-28-2019, 09:17 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (22)

Hello all,

If I were to pre-order the Braveheart edition today, would it still ship in mid to late January or would it be after the Chinese New Year?
Also, how likely is it that there will be import taxes? (I’m in the US by the way)

Thanks


Bug Rockchip 3530
Posted by: thewonderer - 12-28-2019, 07:42 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (5)

Hi, been using my 3328 rock64 v2 for a year now and on the whole found it suited to my needs and stable. I see that rockchip have a bunch of new SOCs ready for 2020 and wondered if there will be a replacent for the rock64 and rock64pro? The 3530 looks like a nice step up for the rock64.
