PineTab
In pinetab we have jack to uart port cable. For enable UART console move selector nearby sd-card slot away from sd-card slot.
Testing the vibrator motor
You need to have the CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS
enabled in your kernel config for this!
Vibrator motor is on pin PD2
.
You can calculate the PIN number for PD2 as followed (more information):
(4-1) * 32 + 2 = 98
echo "98" > /sys/class/gpio/export # Make pin available echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio98/direction # Set as output echo "1" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio98/value # On echo "1" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio98/value # Off echo "98" > /sys/class/gpio/unexport # When you're done
Installation
Prepare SD card
Use GParted or any other tool to create the following EXT4
partitions:
- boot: Holds the mainline kernel Image and Device Tree files
- data: Holds the Sailfish OS rootFS
GParted will ask you to leave the first MB free of the SD card when creating the first partition, this is correct. This 1 MB will be used to store the U-boot boot loader.
U-Boot
We will now build the mainline U-boot boot loader from Git.
Clone U-boot (master branch):
You can find the U-boot mirror repository on Github:
git clone github.com/u-boot/u-boot
Compile U-boot
You have to cross compile U-boot with the arm64
arch:
export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- ARCH=arm64 make clean ARCH=arm64 make sopine_baseboard_defconfig ARCH=arm64 make
The sopine_baseboard_defconfig
is the same for the Don't Be Evil devkit.
Burn U-boot to your SD card
Copy the compiled U-boot bootloader to the first sector on your SD card:
sudo dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=8k seek=1
Manually loading the kernel
Serial TTY Baudrate over UART = 115200 for screen, example: screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
You have to start screen first, before turning on the devkit.
Interrupt the U-boot autoboot process when you see a message in the U-boot prompt. We need to access the U-boot prompt to load the Kernel image and boot it manually!
Set bootargs:
setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait panic=10
Kernel Image loading and Device Tree files:
ext4load mmc 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} /Image ext4load mmc 0:1 ${fdt_addr_r} /sun50i-a64-dontbeevil.dtb
Boot the kernel:
booti ${kernel_addr_r} - ${fdt_addr_r}
Automatic boot
Create a boot.cmd
file:
echo Setting bootargs setenv bootargs console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 no_console_suspend rootwait earlycon=uart,mmio32,0x01c28000 panic=10 consoleblank=0 loglevel=1 printenv echo Loading DTB load mmc 0:1 ${fdt_addr_r} /sun50i-a64-dontbeevil.dtb echo Loading kernel Image load mmc 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} /Image echo Booting kernel NOW booti ${kernel_addr_r} - ${fdt_addr_r}
Mount your boot
partition and run the following command:
sudo mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /mnt/boot.cmd /mnt/boot.scr
This will translate the boot.cmd
file into a U-boot script.
If you don't have the mkimage
command available, you can install it from the uboot-tools
package.
Kernel
The PinePhone runs a mainline kernel, device tree modifications are done by all the PinePhone OS developers on Gitlab (https://gitlab.com/pine64-org/linux).
Clone the kernel
git clone https://gitlab.com/pine64-org/linux cd linux git checkout pinephone-dontbeevil
Configure the kernel
- Copy our kernel config: https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/raw/master/pinephone-config
- Enter the
linux
project:cd linux
- Copy the config file to
.config
in the main directory
Build the kernel
We cross compile the kernel for ARM64.
The LOCALVERSION
variable can be used to add a version to the build.
Cross compile the kernel:
export ARCH=arm64 export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- export LOCALVERSION=-nemo make clean make oldconfig make Image modules dtbs
Install the kernel modules in a different path:
make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=../linux_modules/
Install kernel
Copy the following things:
- Image from
arch/arm64/boot/Image
to the root of theboot
partition. - Device tree files
For pinethone arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-a64-dontbeevil.dtb
and arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-a64-dontbeevil.dts
to the root of the boot
partition.
For pinetab arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-a64-pinetab.dtb
and arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-a64-pinetab.dts
to the root of the boot
partition.
- Modules from
../linux_modules
to/lib/modules
on theboot
partition.
Wlan Module
On PinePhone we have mainline kernel driver. But in PineTab we must use https://github.com/Icenowy/rtl8723cs driver.
Nemo Mobile
For build last release of nemo use this ks file https://gist.github.com/neochapay/8d40f9ee1e5fd621e0053aa126d39e81
Sailfish OS
Flash rootFS
You can download the latest rootFS from the Gitlab SailfishOS Porters CI: https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci (see the artifacts of the latest CI job).
This tar.gz
archive should be burned to the data
partition of the SD card.
It's important to burn it as the root user (not with sudo) to preserve extended attributes and ACLs:
sudo su bsdtar -xpf <SAILFISH OS ROOTFS>.tar.bz2 -C <MOUNTPOINT OF /DATA>
Device repos
To boot Lipstick, you need to add the device specific repos to the devkit. All the following commands are executed in a shell on the devkit.
Make sure you configure the ethernet interface first before you continue! You need to have access to the WWW to fetch the necessary repository data and packages.
Install zypper manually:
curl -o augeas-lib.rpm http://repo.merproject.org/obs/mer:/core/latest_armv7hl/armv7hl/augeas-libs-1.6.0+git1-1.10.6.armv7hl.rpm curl -o zypper.rpm http://repo.merproject.org/obs/mer:/core/latest_armv7hl/armv7hl/zypper-1.14.6+git3-1.24.5.armv7hl.rpm rpm -Uvh *rpm
Use ssu
to add the repo
ssu ar common http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:/devel:/hw:/common/sailfish_latest_armv7hl/ ssu ar dontbeevil http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:/piggz:/dontbeevil/sailfishos_3.0.3.9_latest_armv7hl/ ssu ar jolla https://releases.jolla.com/releases/3.0.3.9/jolla/armv7hl/
Refresh the repo:
zypper refresh
Install the device packages:
zypper install dontbeevil:qt5-qtcore dontbeevil:qt5-qttest dontbeevil:lipstick-qt5 zypper install droid-config-dontbeevil # Select 1 for vendor change zypper install droid-config-dontbeevil-sailfish zypper install qt5-plugin-platform-eglfs # EGLFS LIMA plugin zypper install qt5-plugin-generic-evdev # evdev input plugins
Other useful packages
zypper install mce-tools #useful for mcetool (mcetool -U activates the screen)
Unknown password
The Sailfish OS rootFS sets a random password when booting for the first time.
You can only log in through the telnet
debug interface.
Since the eth0
interface still requires manually setup, you can't access telnet
.
To circumvent this issue, you can login through the UART TTY interface.
However you don't know the password of the root
nor nemo
users!
To disable the root
and nemo
passwords, we can modify the /etc/shadow
file:
sudo chmod +w <SD card data partition>/etc/shadow sudo vim <SD card data partition>/etc/shadow # Remove any characters where <HASHED PASSWORD> is written: user1:<HASHED PASSWORD>:16092:0:99999:7:::. sudo chmod -w <SD card data partition>/etc/shadow
By removing the hashed password, we can login with the user without entering a password. You can set a new password afterwards by running as a logged in user:
passwd
Init eth0
Enabling the eth0
interface has to be done manually for now:
ifconfig eth0 <YOUR_IP> route add default gw <DEFAULT_GATEWAY_IP> echo "nameserver <DNS_SERVER_IP>" > /etc/resolv.conf
Test your configuration with ping
:
ping jolla.com
Lipstick crashing
Install Lipstick from the dontbeevil
repository:
zypper install dontbeevil:lipstick-qt5
No setup wizard
Make sure the configuration package is installed:
zypper install droid-config-dontbeevil-sailfish
