===== PinePhone Pro =====
|
||
|
||
The PinePhone Pro is PINE64’s flagship smartphone announced on October 15, 2021. It features 4GB of RAM, an 128GB eMMC and is using an Rockchip RK3399S SoC, which is a specialized version of the RK3399 made specifically for the PinePhone Pro.
|
||
|
||
The guides (Arch Linux ARM & postmarketOS) are based on creating your own image on Arch Linux.
|
||
|

\\
|
||
==== Tow-Boot ====
|
||
|
||
This is required for the following operating systems. Tow-Boot is already installed by default on newer PPPs.
|
||
|
||
Download the latest release for your PPP - https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases.
|
||
|
||
Extract it and flash ''spi.installer.img'' onto a SD card:
|
||
|
||
<code>
|
||
dd if=spi.installer.img of=/dev/XXX bs=1M oflag=direct,sync status=progress
|
||
</code>
|
||
|
||
Insert the SD card into your PPP and __**press**__ and //__hold__// the //__volume down__// button. Now //__press__// the //__power button__// until the __//first vibration occurs//__, then release the //__power button__// but continue to //__hold__// the //__volume down__// until the __second vibration occurs__.\\
|
||
You should now see a //__blue LED__// and the Tow-Boot start screen should appear.\\
|
||
''Install Tow-Boot to SPI Flash''.
|
||
|
||
When everything is done, switch off your device and remove the SD card.

=== Packages ===
|
||
|
||
<code>
|
||
pacman -S dosfstools arch-install-scripts qemu-user-static qemu-user-static-binfmt
|
||
</code>
|
||
|
||
<code>
|
||
systemctl restart systemd-binfmt.service
|
||
</code>
|
||
|
||
Check that the ARM architecture exist (aarch64)
|

=== Build image ===
|
||
|
||
<code>
|
||
git clone https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/arch-pine64-build.git
|
||
cd arch-pine64-build
|
||
mkdir /tmp/ppp-cache

\\
|
||
=== Flash the image ===
|
||
|
||
Switch to //USB mass storage// - __//press//__ and //__hold__// the //__volume up__// button and //__press__// the //__power button__// once. You should now see a //__blue LED__//. Connect the device to your PC via USB.
|
||
|
||
<code>
|
||
cd arch-pine64-build/build/
|
||
dd if=archlinux-pinephone-pro-plasma-*.img of=/dev/XXX bs=1M oflag=direct,sync status=progress
|
||
</code>
|
||
|
||
Start the device and follow e.g. our backup guides https://wiki.techsaviours.org/en/backup/server.
|
||
|
||
\\
|
||
=== Local Arch repo (optional) ===
|
||
|
||
Create your own Arch repository to keep older packages in case you need to downgrade your system/phone. It can be more difficult to downgrade than with the x86_64 architecture.\\

||

\\
|
||
==== postmarketOS ====
|
||
|
||
\\
|
||
=== Package ===
|
||
|
||
<code>
|
||
pacman -S pmbootstrap
|
||
</code>
|
||
|
||
\\
|
||
=== Initialization ===
|
||
|
||
<code>
|
||
mkdir -p ~/build/postmarketOS
|
||
pmbootstrap init
|
||
</code>
|
||
|
||
Simply follow the questions. Some necessary steps are listed below to use your PPP, the rest is up to you.
|
||
|
||
<code>
|
||
Work path [/home/USER/.local/var/pmbootstrap]: ~/build/postmarketOS
|
||
Vendor [qemu]: pine64
|
||
Device codename: pinephonepro
|
||
</code>
|
||
|
||
\\
|
||
=== Install ===
|
||
|
||
Switch to //USB mass storage// - __//press//__ and //__hold__// the //__volume up__// button and //__press__// the //__power button__// once. You should now see a //__blue LED__//. Connect the device to your PC via USB.
|
||
|
||
<code>
|
||
pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/XXX --fde
|
||
</code>
|
||
|
||
''%%--fde%%'' is to encrypt your phone.
|
||
|
||
<alert type="info" icon="fa fa-info-circle">Run ''pmbootstrap log'' in another terminal to see what is going on.</alert>
|
||
|
||
<alert type="danger" icon="fa fa-warning">If direct to eMMC (//USB mass storage//) does not work, create just the image ''%%pmbootstrap install --fde%%'' and flash it to your internal storage with ''%%dd if=~/build/postmarketOS/chroot_native/home/pmos/rootfs/pine64-pinephonepro.img of=/dev/XXX bs=1M oflag=direct,sync status=progress%%''.</alert>
|

Once everything is done "umount, unregister binfmt":
|
||
<code>
|
||
pmbootstrap shutdown
|
||
</code> |
