PinePhone Software Releases

2020-02-24T18:46:32Z

Fla: /* SailfishOS */

This page is intended to help you install a software release on your PinePhone. In addition it provides details of all the available releases so that you can do some background reading about them to help inform your choice. Finally it provides a number of links to other resources related to your PinePhone.

= General instructions =

Initial (new) release installation should be to a micro SD card. It is recommended to choose a card with fast I/O of small files for best performance of your PinePhone. See blogs by Jeff Geerling (link in Other Resources at the bottom of this page) for tests on SDcards.

Generic installation instructions are in this section, please see the releases below for specific installation options they may offer/require.

== Boot priority ==

The default PinePhone boot priority is first the SD card and then the eMMC so inserting your own SD card with your preferred release will result in the phone booting your image.

User ''megi'' has demonstrated his multi-boot development [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL1GREqoqx8 on YouTube,] see Other Resouces at the bottom of this page for a link to his notes.

== Brave Heart essential information ==

'''Your Brave Heart phone ships with a film of plastic between the battery and the phone. You need to open the back cover (gently), then remove the battery and finally remove the film.

'''There has been [https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8960 a report on the forum] that this plastic can distort the connection between the battery and the phone: please check your setup carefully after removing the tab.

Each Brave Heart phone does ship with a bootable release on the eMMC. This is a special version of postmarketOS intended only for a final factory test. As such the listed tests are not warranted to check what you may expect, e.g. the audio check only outputs to 1 channel

=== Discussion to use the modem ===
There is a document about using the modem by user ''megi'' [https://megous.com/dl/tmp/modem.txt here.] This is from circa 18 Jan 2020.

Note at this date there is no TL;DR version - the script at the end to disable the modem before power off is pretty essential to avoid corrupting your modem's flash memory.

=== Backlight ===
All current distributions do not have a good setup for the backlight at low brightness.
If configured too low, the backlight shuts down completely, but the screen is still displayed and usable in bright front-light.

Sailfish is currently the only OS that initially uses automatic backlight control. This makes the screen to appear blank. When shining a bright light on the screen, you can still navigate the screen. (and maybe the screen switches on temporarily due to the light sensor) This will make it possible for you to disable auto brightness in Settings, Display.

== Preparation of SD card ==
# Download your chosen image from the options below
# Extract the compressed file
# Write the image to your SD card
# Plug SD card into phone
# Boot phone
If you need step-by-step instructions for writing an image to an SD card, check [[NOOB#Step-by-Step_Instructions_to_Flashing_MicroSD_Cards]] then return to this page.

You may also need to expand the flashed image to fill your SD card. To do so after you've booted the device, install growpart and resize2fs on the phone and then run...
growpart /dev/mmcblkX Y
resize2fs /dev/mmcblkXpY
... where X and Y correspond to your SD card's identifier (viewable from lsblk).

== Installation to eMMC ==
* Prepare a new SD card as above
* Boot the phone
* The eMMC appears as /dev/mmcblk2 and so any standard Linux mechanism to move your image there will work, e.g. dd.

postmarketOS is an experimental, touch-optimized and pre-configured Alpine Linux that offers a choice of several desktop environments including Plasma Mobile and phosh.

* ''' Download location '''
Rather than downloading a demo image [https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Installation_guide postmarketOS recommend] the use of their script, pmbootstrap, that can tailor build your SD card for you. See for example [https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8285 this forum thread.] The demo images are currently (13-02-2020) built from a development branch with more fixes, so images built with pmbootstrap may not be as nice yet.

Note pmbootstrap offers an option [https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_PinePhone_(pine64-pinephone)#Installation to install to the eMMC.]

== SailfishOS ==
http://files.pine64.org/sw/pine64_installer/json/sailfishos.png
Sailfish OS is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as Mer and including a closed source UI.

* ''' Download location '''
The SailfishOS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].

The script downloads the image and bootloader from our CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.

''Instructions:''

# Download the flashing script
# Insert a microSD card in your device
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code>
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code>
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).

''Note'': The script will format and flash the SD card, make sure that you don't have any important data on the SD card!

* ''' user-id/password '''

* ''' What works, what does not work '''
The current (6 Feb) version of Sailfish has a defect with the auto brightness: on first boot this means you get a blank screen. You need to hold your phone up to a bright light to enable the screen, then disable the auto brightness in Settings, Display. [https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9054 See this forum thread.] If you're not familiar with SFOS, be prepared by having a Jolla account and skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left. This is just because holding a light over the sensor can be tricky, otherwise the SFOS tutorial is necessary as the UI is not that intuitive.
