OK, I made it more concise.
Quote:Dear Piner,
Congratulations on receiving your Brave Heart edition PinePhone!
You are one of the very first to have a PinePhone. We hope you’ll help us and our partner projects by contributing to its development.
Your input is valuable, so it is important that you report whatever problems you encounter. Please, include relevant logs and/or UART outputs.
Join the conversation on whichever platform suits you. You can report non-OS specific (kernel) issues you encounter on: https://gitlab.com/pine64-org. OS specific problems should be reported on the PINE64 Wiki (wiki.pine64.org/PinePhone#Software Support) as well as directly to developers in the pinephone chats (Forums and Chats tab on https://pine64.org), on PINE64 forums (forum.pine64.org) or on the relevant partner-project forums (see Partner Projects tab on https://pine64.org).
Brave Heart phones come preloaded with factory test software and nothing else. So you’ll have to seek out the OSs that interest you on your own. Keep in mind that all the OSs are presently pre-release and vary in functionality, even from one pre-release to another. Most mobile distribution OS images are linked on the PinePhone subsection of the PINE64 Wiki. Obtaining OS builds absent from the Wiki may require talking to their developers directly.
The PinePhone Wiki subsection also contains schematics, instructions, hardware configuration details, and other useful information about your device. You can edit and contribute to the Wiki by logging in with your forum credentials.
Brave Heart is meant for early-adopters — developers and enthusiasts — so we expect and encourage you to experiment with the software and hardware by pushing the envelope. That said, please keep in mind that the device is under standard warranty, so breaking components during disassembly or tampering with eFUSEs will void that warranty.
Now, have fun with your PinePhone!
