Hi,
as there'd been a lot of reports of failed updates for ANX7688 firmware, i thought i'd share my experience here.
The wiki already points out that there's some trouble with Linux kernel 5.10 (timeout)
and i had some trouble with the image it refers to... here's a fail safe way!
Before (version 0x2312):
To upgrade safely, download PMOS factory test image:
https://images.postmarketos.org/pinephon...t64.img.xz
Write image to SD-card...
Put the SD-card into linux host and mount PM_root.
Replace /lib/firmware/anx7688-fw.bin with the latest one from:
wget https://xff.cz/git/linux-firmware/plain/anx7688-fw.bin
!!!Attention!!!
Before using the serial debug cable, please disable headphone with the kill switch.
Insert card to your Pinephone and use serial debug cable (most convenient way):
login: demo
pwd: demo
...then:
sudo -s
echo 1 > /sys/class/typec/port0/device/flash_eeprom
Kernel messages will inform you about the eeprom flash process afterwards (call dmesg).
Send the device to halt and remove the SD-card.
Then after booting up to your OS will give:
That's it! Successfully upgraded to OCM firmware version 0x2410.
Hope this helps to avoid further confusion.
Cheers,
scholbert
