Pinephone USB-C Docking Bar (Amazing !!)
#17
Please, keep in mind that the AltDP-to-HDMI bridge IC inside the official PinePhone dock is pretty much invisible to the software side of the PinePhone.  The ANX7688 IC inside the phone converts the A64's HDMI output to AltDP, which goes through the Type-C port and out of the phone, and the AltDP-to-HDMI bridge chip inside the official dock converts AltDP back to HDMI.  This entire path is pretty much invisible to the A64 SoC or the software running on the PinePhone.

Also, the official PinePhone dock should be fully functional even with no charger connected to the dock.  It would take quite a lot of power from the phone if you use the dock's HDMI port, so connecting a charger to the dock is highly recommended.
