== Manjaro ARM ==
[[File:Manjaro.png|right|100px]]

The [https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/applications/manjaro-arm-installer manjaro-arm-installer] script is intended to install Manjaro ARM directly to SD/eMMC cards without the need for images (including LXQT, Mate & CuboCore editions, as well as full disk encryption). Running on a Linux x86 computer, it can install Manjaro ARM directly to an empty eMMC using an eMMC to USB adapter. The script can also be run from SD to install an image to the eMMC.

== Debian ==
[[File:debian.png|right|100px]]

* Uses only the upstream kernel and firmware without special patches
* No graphical display yet, works only through serial console
* Requires adding the non-free component to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and installing the "firmware-linux" package for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support
* Installer is loaded into RAM, can install onto the same media from which it’s booted
* Supports automatic partitioning and full disk encryption through LVM
* Installer currently doesn't install the bootloader, leaving the installed system in an unbootable state until it's manually added

[https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/arm64/daily/netboot/SD-card-images/ The relevant files are built daily here] and may sometimes be unavailable if the build system is having issues. The "README.concatenateable_images" file provides instructions on how to combine the partition.img.gz file with the firmware.pinebook-pro.rk3399.img.gz file in order to create a DD-able image.

The official images are '''not''' recommended yet until the display begins working and the installer properly installs the bootloader. Most users will want to see [[Pinebook Pro Debian Installer|Daniel Thompson's Debian Installer]] instead.

== Gentoo ==
[[File:GentooLogo.png|right|100px]]

There is a script that prepares a Gentoo arm64 stage 3 tarball for the Pinebook Pro. The script takes care of device specifics like an optimized make.conf, an overlay that provides kernel and firmware amongst others, and other miscellaneous fixes.

'''Installation'''

== Operating Systems ==
The PineTab will automatically boot from microSD if a bootable card is inserted. Although it is technically possible to use any ARM distro (because the PineTab uses the mainline kernel), only few of them will actually be usable on Early Adopters PineTab, due to specifics of working with LCD panel. Among those listed all except for postmarketOS have working builds.

=== UBPorts ===
[[File:Ubports-logo.png|100px]]
The UBPorts Ubuntu Touch is what preinstalled on PineTab Early Adopters batch.

It can update itself, and also jenkins daily build can be downloaded [https://ci.ubports.com/job/rootfs/job/rootfs-pinetab/ here]

In the event that WiFi fails to connect, the USB port can be used with an appropriate dongle to connect for internet using ethernet cable.

=== postmarketOS ===
[[File:PostmarketOS-logo.png|100px]]
postmarketOS is a preconfigured version of [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] for mobile devices.

It offers various user interfaces (Phosh, Plasma Mobile, Sxmo, Plasma Desktop, Gnome 3, Kodi, XFCE4, ...), and allows to encrypt your installation.

As of writing, postmarketOS supports the "pinetab-dev" and the Early Adopters versions of the PineTab.

The latest images can be downloaded [https://images.postmarketos.org/pinetab/ here], or you can refer to the [https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_PineTab_(pine64-pinetab) PineTab wiki page] for installation instructions.

=== Arch Linux ARM ===

Arch Linux ARM with Phosh as the UI selection, maintained by the DanctNIX community.

The latest image can be downloaded [https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/releases here]

=== Manjaro ARM ===

The first Manjaro ARM image confirmed to be working on Early Adopters PineTab can be downloaded [https://next.manjaro.org/index.php/s/aeXDtbWnnBNEM2Q here], ref [https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-arm-alpha2-with-phosh-pinetab/150/12 forum thread].

Older Manjaro images with several different environments, including Phosh and Plasma, but '''not working on Early Adopters PineTab''' can be downloaded [https://osdn.net/projects/manjaro-arm/storage/pinetab/ here]

=== Mobian ===
[[File:Debian-logo.png|100px]]
Mobian is a project providing Debian images for mobile devices.

PineTab images can be downloaded [https://images.mobian-project.org/pinetab/ here]. Password is '''1234'''

== Installation instructions ==
For instructions on how to install the operating systems to the eMMC or microSD card see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions]]. The information is almost the same for the PineTab, as it is a very similar device. Do not try to use the PinePhone images though, use the PineTab images linked above.

=== Testing ===
To test an OS, just flash its image onto an microSD card, plug it into PineTab, and reboot.
Note that USB stick won't work.
Also note that you need to "flash", not just copy the file onto the card.
Also remember that you need to unpack image file if it's packed!

You can do it using Ubuntu Touch installed on the PineTab! For now, only Mobian is supported by the guide below.

* First, make sure you have enough free disk space and empty Downloads directory on the PineTab (while not strictly necessary, empty Downloads dir will simplify your typing. You can just move all files from there to another directory).
* Turn off Sleep when idle in the settings. Settings > Battery > Sleep when idle: Never
* Go to the Mobian link above and download compressed image (the one ending with .img.gz) - usual recommendation is to download latest, i.e. lowest one.
* Open terminal and type this in it:
cd Downloads
ls
* It should show you the name of the file you've just downloaded
* This file is compressed, so first you need to uncompress it. Type this into terminal:
gunzip *.gz && echo done
* This command will take some time (you won't see any progress until it's done). It either will succeed (and print "done") and fail (and print why).
* Now, let's have a look at disks. Type this into terminal:
lsblk
* It should show you a tree of disks and their partitions. If you don't have microSD card inserted yet, all of them begin with mmcblk2. Also, some of them have something in the "MOUNTPOINT" column
* Insert microSD card into PineTab. Note that all information on it will be deleted, so don't insert one with valuable information on it!
* type `lsblk` into terminal again.
* Note that now tree of disks has one or more new entries - starting with mmcblk0 - that's partitions of your microSD card.
* Confirm that size of mmcblk0 is close to size of the microSD card, and all lines starting with mmcblk0 have empty "MOUNTPOINT" column.
* now type this:
sudo dd if=`ls` of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M status=progress
* It will take some time, depending on speed of your microSD card and size of image file
* Now, reboot your PineTab - type this into terminal:
sudo reboot
* PineTab should boot from the microSD you've just flashed

== Tips and tricks ==

=== Reset ===

If your PineTab is in unknown state or doesn't want to start.
Press power button for 7-8s. It makes a sound and you know it's totally off. 3 seconds after, power button again for 2-3s and it will start to boot. - thanks
@Aperricio on IRC for this hint

=== Display rotated 90° on Arch ARM ===
With the following command you can turn the display to landscape:

* echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/rotate

This command does not persist a reboot.

=== UBPorts ===
The UBPorts Ubuntu Touch is what preinstalled on PineTab Early Adopters batch. It can update itself, and also jenkins daily build can be downloaded [https://ci.ubports.com/job/rootfs/job/rootfs-pinetab/ here]

=== postmarketOS ===
postmarketOS is a preconfigured version of [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] for mobile devices. The latest builds can be downloaded from the [https://images.postmarketos.org/pinetab/ images page] to be flashed to the PineTab.

More information is available at [https://postmarketos.org postmarketos.org] and on their [https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_PineTab_(pine64-pinetab) dedicated PineTab wiki page].

=== Arch Linux ARM ===
Arch Linux ARM with Phosh as the UI selection, maintained by the DanctNIX community.

The latest test image can be downloaded [https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/releases/tag/20200910pre here]

=== Manjaro ARM ===
First Manjaro ARM image confirmed to be working on Early Adopters PineTab can be downloaded [https://next.manjaro.org/index.php/s/BPaHqy5ZFm4Jntj here], ref [https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-arm-alpha2-with-phosh-pinetab/150/12 forum thread].

Older Manjaro images with several different environments, including Phosh and Plasma, but '''not working on Early Adopters PineTab''' can be downloaded [https://osdn.net/projects/manjaro-arm/storage/pinetab/ here]

=== Mobian ===
Mobian is a project providing Debian images for mobile devices. PineTab images can be downloaded [https://images.mobian-project.org/pinetab/ here]. Password is '''1234'''

=== Testing ===
To test an OS, just flash its image onto an microSD card, plug it into PineTab, and reboot.
Note that USB stick won't work.
Also note that you need to "flash", not just copy the file onto the card.
Also remember that you need to unpack image file if it's packed!

You can do it using Ubuntu Touch installed on the PineTab! For now, only Mobian is supported by the guide below.

* First, make sure you have enough free disk space and empty Downloads directory on the PineTab (while not strictly necessary, empty Downloads dir will simplify your typing. You can just move all files from there to another directory).
* go to the Mobian link above and download compressed image (the one ending with .img.gz) - usual recommendation is to download latest, i.e. lowest one.
* Open terminal and type this in it:
cd Downloads
ls
* It should show you the name of the file you've just downloaded
* This file is compressed, so first you need to uncompress it. Type this into terminal:
gunzip *.gz && echo done
* This command will take some time (you won't see any progress until it's done). It either will succeed (and print "done") and fail (and print why).
* Now, let's have a look at disks. Type this into terminal:
lsblk
* It should show you a tree of disks and their partitions. If you don't have microCD card inserted yet, all of them begin with mmcblk2. Also, some of them have something in the "MOUNTPOINT" column
* Insert microSD card into PineTab. Note that all information on it will be deleted, so don't insert one with valuable information on it!
* type `lsblk` into terminal again.
* Note that now tree of disks has one or more new entries - starting with mmcblk0 - that's partitions of your microSD card.
* Confirm that size of mmcblk0 is close to size of the microSD card, and all lines starting with mmcblk0 have empty "MOUNTPOINT" column.
* now type this:
sudo dd if=`ls` of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M status=progress
* It will take some time, depending on speed of your microSD card and size of image file
* Now, reboot your PineTab - type this into terminal:
sudo reboot
* PineTab should boot from the microSD you've just flashed

== Tips and tricks ==

=== Reset ===

If your PineTab is in unknown state or doesn't want to start.
Press power button for 7-8s. It makes a sound and you know it's totally off. 3 seconds after, power button again for 2-3s and it will start to boot. - thanks

=== Mobian ===
Mobian is a project providing Debian images for mobile devices. PineTab images can be downloaded [https://images.mobian-project.org/pinetab/ here]. Password is '''1234'''

=== Testing ===
To test an OS, just flash its image onto an microSD card, plug it into PineTab, and reboot.
Note that USB stick won't work.
Also note that you need to "flash", not just copy the file onto the card.
Also remember that you need to unpack image file if it's packed!

You can do it using Ubuntu Touch installed on the PineTab! For now, only Mobian is supported by the guide below.

* First, make sure you have enough free disk space and empty Downloads directory on the PineTab (while not strictly necessary, empty Downloads dir will simplify your typing. You can just move all files from there to another directory).
* go to the Mobian link above and download compressed image (the one ending with .img.gz) - usual recommendation is to download latest, i.e. lowest one.
* Open terminal and type this in it:
cd Downloads
ls
* It should show you the name of the file you've just downloaded
* This file is compressed, so first you need to uncompress it. Type this into terminal:
gunzip *.gz && echo done
* This command will take some time (you won't see any progress until it's done). It either will succeed (and print "done") and fail (and print why).
* Now, let's have a look at disks. Type this into terminal:
lsblk
* It should show you a tree of disks and their partitions. If you don't have microCD card inserted yet, all of them begin with mmcblk2. Also, some of them have something in the "MOUNTPOINT" column
* Insert microSD card into PineTab. Note that all information on it will be deleted, so don't insert one with valuable information on it!
* type `lsblk` into terminal again.
* Note that now tree of disks has one or more new entries - starting with mmcblk0 - that's partitions of your microSD card.
* Confirm that size of mmcblk0 is close to size of the microSD card, and all lines starting with mmcblk0 have empty "MOUNTPOINT" column.
* now type this:
sudo dd if=`ls` of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M status=progress
* It will take some time, depending on speed of your microSD card and size of image file
* Now, reboot your PineTab - type this into terminal:
sudo reboot
* PineTab should boot from the microSD you've just flashed

== Tips and tricks ==

=== Reset ===

If your PineTab is in unknown state or doesn't want to start.
Press power button for 7-8s. It makes a sound and you know it's totally off. 3 seconds after, power button again for 2-3s and it will start to boot.

== Operating Systems ==
The PineTab will automatically boot from microSD if a bootable card is inserted. Although it is technically possible to use any ARM distro (because the PineTab uses the mainline kernel), there are a few that are designed specifically for phones and tablets:
* [[#UBPorts|UBPorts]]
* [[#postmarketOS|postmarketOS]]
* [[#Arch Linux ARM|Arch Linux ARM]]
* [[#Manjaro ARM|Manjaro ARM]]
* [[#Mobian|Mobian]]

=== UBPorts ===
The UBPorts jenkins daily build can be downloaded [https://ci.ubports.com/job/rootfs/job/rootfs-pinetab/ here]

=== postmarketOS ===
postmarketOS is a preconfigured version of [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] for mobile devices. The latest builds can be downloaded from the [https://images.postmarketos.org/pinetab/ images page] to be flashed to the PineTab.

More information is available at [https://postmarketos.org postmarketos.org] and on their [https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_PineTab_(pine64-pinetab) dedicated PineTab wiki page].

=== Manjaro ARM ===
Manjaro ARM with several different environments, including Phosh and Plasma, can be downloaded [https://osdn.net/projects/manjaro-arm/storage/pinetab/ here]

Note that at least for one person, <code>Manjaro-ARM-phosh-pinetab-alpha2.img</code> image didn't work.

=== Mobian ===
Mobian is a project providing Debian images for mobile devices. PineTab images can be downloaded [https://images.mobian-project.org/pinetab/ here]. Password is '''1234'''

=== Testing ===
To test an OS, just flash its image onto an microSD card, plug it into PineTab, and reboot.
Note that USB stick won't work.
Also note that you need to "flash", not just copy the file onto the card.
Also remember that you need to unpack image file if it's packed!

You can do it using Ubuntu Touch installed on the PineTab! For now, only Mobian is supported by the guide below.

* First, make sure you have enough free disk space and empty Downloads directory on the PineTab (while not strictly necessary, empty Downloads dir will simplify your typing. You can just move all files from there to another directory).
* go to the Mobian link above and download compressed image (the one ending with .img.gz) - usual recommendation is to download latest, i.e. lowest one.
* Open terminal and type this in it:
cd Downloads
ls
* It should show you the name of the file you've just downloaded
* This file is compressed, so first you need to uncompress it. Type this into terminal:
gunzip *.gz && echo done
* This command will take some time (you won't see any progress until it's done). It either will succeed (and print "done") and fail (and print why).
* Now, let's have a look at disks. Type this into terminal:
lsblk
* It should show you a tree of disks and their partitions. If you don't have microCD card inserted yet, all of them begin with mmcblk2. Also, some of them have something in the "MOUNTPOINT" column
* Insert microSD card into PineTab. Note that all information on it will be deleted, so don't insert one with valuable information on it!
* type `lsblk` into terminal again.
* Note that now tree of disks has one or more new entries - starting with mmcblk0 - that's partitions of your microSD card.
* Confirm that size of mmcblk0 is close to size of the microSD card, and all lines starting with mmcblk0 have empty "MOUNTPOINT" column.
* now type this:
sudo dd if=`ls` of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M status=progress
* It will take some time, depending on speed of your microSD card and size of image file
* Now, reboot your PineTab - type this into terminal:
sudo reboot
* PineTab should boot from the microSD you've just flashed

=== Arch Linux ARM ===
Arch Linux ARM with LXQt built by Danct12 can be downloaded [https://github.com/Danct12/Pine64-Arch/releases/tag/20191207 here]

=== Manjaro ARM ===
Manjaro ARM with several different environments, including Phosh and Plasma, can be downloaded [https://osdn.net/projects/manjaro-arm/storage/pinetab/ here]

=== Mobian ===
Mobian is a project providing Debian images for mobile devices. PineTab images can be downloaded [https://images.mobian-project.org/pinetab/ here]. Password is '''1234'''

=== Testing ===
To test an OS, just flash its image onto an microSD card, plug it into PineTab, and reboot.
Note that USB stick won't work.
Also note that you need to "flash", not just copy the file onto the card.
Also remember that you need to unpack image file if it's packed!

You can do it using Ubuntu Touch installed on the PineTab! For now, only Mobian is supported by the guide below.

* First, make sure you have enough free disk space and empty Downloads directory on the PineTab (while not strictly necessary, empty Downloads dir will simplify your typing. You can just move all files from there to another directory).
* go to the Mobian link above and download compressed image (the one ending with .img.gz) - usual recommendation is to download latest, i.e. lowest one.
* Open terminal and type this in it:
cd Downloads
ls
* It should show you the name of the file you've just downloaded
* This file is compressed, so first you need to uncompress it. Type this into terminal:
gunzip *.gz && echo done
* This command will take some time (you won't see any progress until it's done). It either will succeed (and print "done") and fail (and print why).
* Now, let's have a look at disks. Type this into terminal:
lsblk
* It should show you a tree of disks and their partitions. If you don't have microCD card inserted yet, all of them begin with mmcblk2. Also, some of them have something in the "MOUNTPOINT" column
* Insert microSD card into PineTab. Note that all information on it will be deleted, so don't insert one with valuable information on it!
* type `lsblk` into terminal again.
* Note that now tree of disks has one or more new entries - starting with mmcblk0 - that's partitions of your microSD card.
* Confirm that size of mmcblk0 is close to size of the microSD card, and all lines starting with mmcblk0 have empty "MOUNTPOINT" column.
* now type this:
sudo dd if=`ls` of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M status=progress
* It will take some time, depending on speed of your microSD card and size of image file
* Now, reboot your PineTab - type this into terminal:
sudo reboot
* it will be booted from the microSD

PineTab/Early-Adopter

2020-09-09T17:01:08Z

Lex-2008: Add disappearing wifi issue

The PineTab Early Adopter edition was the first hardware revision of the PineTab which shipped to customers. Shipping began on September 6, 2020.

== Software ==

The device shipped with a beta build of Ubuntu Touch by UBports. This build is available to download at https://ci.ubports.com/job/rootfs/job/rootfs-pinetab-systemimage/18/. It has the following problems which are software, not hardware, issues:

* The mouse fails to move around the entire screen. It is stuck in an 800px horizontal box.
* It is not possible to enable Bluetooth
* Cameras do not function
* Portrait mode does not function

The first-time setup wizard advises the user to unplug the keyboard dock (avoiding the mouse issues) and update the system. Unfortunately, as of this update to this page (September 8, 2020) this will not fix any of the issues above.

=== 16GB/64GB storage software error ===

The image installed on the device was sized for a 16GB (~14GiB) eMMC, but the PineTab shipped with a 64GB (~58GiB) eMMC chip installed. This means that the "Storage" page in the "About" section of Ubuntu Touch System Settings will show total storage as 14.0GiB until the partition table on the device is edited.

UBports developers are currently working on a solution that will automatically edit the partition table and resize the data partition without disturbing any user data.

=== Wifi disappears ===

If wifi stopped working, first try usual means:
* switching wifi off and on again
* reboot PineTab

If it still doesn't work, open terminal and type this:

nmcli r

If output is two lines with red word '''disabled''' under word '''WIFI''' - rejoice, since this issue is known (although it's not yet investigated well enough to figure out when it happens, so clues to developers are likely welcome). To fix it, just type this in the terminal:

nmcli r wifi on
