A way to view or log the splash screen on Pinephone Pro running ArchLinux (Danctnix)
#1
Good day!

I've been using Pinephone Pro as a daily driver for 7 months now. Mainly with Arch Linux Danctnix OS. Recently, I'm having problems with connecting to the wifi. It can scan available SSIDs but could not connect after a 90 second timeout.

I've tried manually connecting the wifi via nmcli, manually installing the firmware for brcmfmac from github repos and rebuilding the initramfs. But it doesn't seem to fix my problem.

I'm thinking whether this is a hardware problem (given that I charge it with a 5v:3000ma charger overnight) or a software problem (since I usually update with yay first then sudo pacman -Syu. The updates could've messed with the firmware.)

SInce I use the phone almost always for online activities, I can't use it and I usually reboot it often following the wifi connectivity error. While doing so, I read something in the splash screen at boot-time stating something along the lines of "Failed to read chip id 258" Hopefully anyone here could point me to a way to log or view the messages at the splash screen, or a more appropriate forum or discussion board to bring up my concern.

Help a bro out, links or advice would be greatly appreciated.
