<br />
The '''PinePhone (Pro) Keyboard Case''' is a case compatible with the [[PinePhone]] and [[PinePhone Pro]], adding a keyboard functionality to the phone. It features a clam-shell design and uses the pogo pins located on the smartphone’s midsection and attaches by replacing the default back cover. This add-on effectively turns the PinePhone (Pro) into a PDA with an in-built LTE modem.<br />

<br />
The keyboard case works with both the PinePhone and PinePhone Pro and features a clam-shell design. It uses pogo pins located on the phone’s midsection and attaches by replacing the default back cover. When folded, the phone’s screen and the keyboard rest securely against each other. The hinge features a 180° design, which not only allows for two-hand typing on a surface but also for comfortable thumb-typing when fully extended. The etched keycaps can be easily relocated for alternate layouts such as AZERTY or QWERTZ. The keyboard case runs an [https://xff.cz/git/pinephone-keyboard/ open firmware], which means that anyone with the know-how can alter existing functions or add new ones. The bottom (keyboard) and top (phone) sections of the assembly are well-balanced thanks to the large, 6000mAh, internal battery capable of charging the PinePhone (Pro) during operation. The internal battery effectively triples the phone’s battery life. The internal keyboard battery can be manually toggled on/off and the keyboard’s battery charge level can be read in the supported OSes; the keyboard remains functional with the battery fully depleted.<br />
<br />
You do not lose access to the PinePhone (Pro)’s USB-C port, speaker, microphone, or any external features, such as volume and lock buttons, with the keyboard attached. There is also a cut-out for the camera, torch, and headphone jack. The USB-C port on the keyboard is capable of powering both the keyboard and PinePhone (Pro) simultaneously. This means that you can plug in a USB mouse, a USB-C dongle, or some other peripheral while the phone and keyboard’s internal battery charge (please see the [[PinePhone (Pro) Keyboard#Safety|safety]] section). Please keep in mind that the keyboard case transforms the PinePhone (Pro) into a PDA, which means that taking calls will likely prove awkward without a wired or wireless headset connected.<br />
<br />
=== Mounting the keyboard ===<br />
Power off your PinePhone and remove the back case. To remove the back case of the PinePhone use your fingernail or another soft object to pry up the back case. A notch to easily remove the cover is located at the bottom left of the PinePhone with the backcover facing the user. <br />
<br />
Open and place the keyboard flat on a hard surface with the hinge fully extended. Proceed to insert the PinePhone into the keyboard at an angle of approx. 15 degrees. Make sure that the PinePhone’s pogo pins and the corresponding pads ① on the keyboard are aligned. The leading edge with volume and power buttons should make contact first. Firmly press the PinePhone into place. Multiple clicks should be heard as the two snap into place. Pay special attention to the plastic pin below the camera hole. Firmly push from the rear, below the camera hole, to click it into position. Failing to do so may cause an insufficient pin contact and prevent the case from charging the phone.<br />
<br />
The PinePhone can be removed from the keyboard easily using a notch similar to the one found on the back case. The notch is located at the bottom of the leading edge with the power and volume buttons.<br />
<br />
=== Operation ===<br />
The keyboard will function automatically once a PinePhone running a compatible operating system is mounted. For alterations to physical layout and firmware see the relevant sections respectively.<br />
<br />
The keyboard features an in-built 6000mAh battery. The battery can be turned ON/OFF using the button on the right leading edge of the keyboard ②. A short button press activates the internal battery while a long (15 seconds) press deactivates it. Compatible operating systems display both the PinePhone’s and keyboard’s battery status.<br />
<br />
You should charge the PinePhone and the keyboard <u>only</u> using the USB-C ③ port on the keyboard. The keyboard’s USB-C port cannot be used for peripherals. The PinePhone’s USB-C port remains operational when mounted in the keyboard and can be used for data and peripherals.<br />
<br />
=== Troubleshooting ===<br />
{{Under construction}}<br />
There are multiple possible issues user could face. It is recommend to check the following most common issues and their solutions and workarounds. <!-- === Missing support in the operating system === --><br />
<br />
==== Pogo pins not making proper contact ====<br />
<br />
Under certain scenarios the keyboard's contacts are not making proper contact with the pogo pins of the phone. To address the issue:<br />
<br />
* Apply '''slight''' pressure in the upper mid of the PinePhone's backside until the plastic holder pin towards the upper middle of the keyboard cover, until an audible click can be heard<br />
* If that solution does not work, a shim under the keyboard's contacts might be required, as explained [https://xnux.eu/pinephone-keyboard/faq.html#ts FAQ troubleshooting section]. See also this [https://freiburg.social/system/media_attachments/files/107/684/243/421/870/279/original/a5e9c68ff3510ec8.jpeg photo of where to place the shim]<br />
<br />
==== Top row is less responsive ====<br />
<br />
== Safety ==<br />
{{Under construction}}<br />
<br />
{{warning|1=Do NOT plug any power source into the phone USB-C port while the keyboard is attached. Doing so may result in damage or loss of the keyboard charging functionality.}}<br />
{{warning|1=Do NOT lube the keyboard with GPL 205G0 switch grease. It can cause problems with the key responsiveness and tactility.}}<br />
{{hint|Only use mild isopropyl alcohol when wiping down the clamshell of the device. Stronger solutions may partially strip the coatings.}}<br />
<br />
== Software support ==<br />
<br />
=== Kernel-space driver ===<br />
<br />
Kernel driver implementation from Samuel Holland: ip5xxx_power and kb151 https://github.com/smaeul/linux/commits/wip/pp-keyboard<br />
<br />
=== User-space driver ===<br />
The user-space driver is available [https://xff.cz/git/pinephone-keyboard/ here]. Use git to clone the repository. You're going to need sdcc 4.1+ installed to build it, so use your package manager to install that first. Next you'll cd into the directory you cloned pinephone-keyboard and use the command "make" to build. After the build is completed, cd into the build directory and you'll notice several new files starting with ppkb-. To use your keyboard case, you'll want to run the following command: <code>sudo ./ppkb-i2c-inputd</code> <!-- this isn't running as a daemon, if anyone knows how to make it do so please edit that info in! --> Open something you can type into like a new terminal window or text editor and you should now be able to use the keyboard case! <br />
<br />
=== Notes ===<br />
Virtual keyboards such as <i>squeekboard</i> are opening whenever a text field is selected.<br />
<br />
To disable this behavior under GNU/Linux running Phosh, you can run the following: <br />
<br />
To disable the virtual keyboard: <code>gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-keyboard-enabled false</code><br />
<br />
To enable the virtual keyboard: <code>gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-keyboard-enabled true</code><br />
<br />
The virtual keyboard needs to be activated before removing the keyboard case again.<br />
<br />
== Keyboard layout ==<br />
The keyboard features a default layout (pictured below) created and agreed upon by the community. The keyboard layout can be altered using software as well as by physically repositioning keycaps. All keycaps, with the <u>exception</u> of space and return keys, can be easily and safely relocated for alternative layouts corresponding to software settings.<br />

<br />
== Keyboard firmware ==<br />
PinePhone’s keyboard firmware was developed independently by Ondřej Jirman as a free-of-charge contribution to PINE64. The firmware source code is freely and publicly available and you can modify it, and the supporting utilities, using common FOSS tools. <br />
<br />
=== Firmware and supporting utilities ===<br />
The design of the firmware allows the keys, modifier keys, and their combinations to be handled in virtually unlimited ways, without a need to flash a customized version of the firmware. Mapping of keys is defined at runtime, using the supporting utilities, and is not hardcoded in the firmware. Different keyboard layouts can be loaded dynamically to support various use cases.<br />
<br />
The repository that contains the source code of the firmware, supporting utilities and associated documentation is located at https://xnux.eu/pinephone-keyboard/.<br />
<br />
You are welcome to contribute patches and improvements to the firmware and the supporting utilities. A summary of firmware development history is available at https://xnux.eu/log/ alongside other development updates from the firmware author.<br />
<br />
Much time and effort went into the development of this firmware. If you wish to send a token of appreciation or support the development efforts in any way, please consider making a donation to the author via one of the methods listed at the bottom of this web page: https://xnux.eu/contribute.html.<br />

<div>== manjaro-arm-installer now runs on the PineBook Pro? ==<br />
Hey AntonMadness, I've seen that you've edited the PBP Software releases page with the following hint regarding the manajaro-arm-installer: "The script can also be run from SD to install an image to the eMMC". <br />
Do you know how to acclompish this? Unfortunately I've only found information saying, that the installer only runs on x86-machines. But if it runs on SD, may it also even run from USB? Also, how exactly do I run the script from SD - do you mean I run it from an SD-based OS? Could you maybe give a source or something, which gives me more information? :) [[User:JtR|JtR]] ([[User talk:JtR|talk]]) 07:57, 1 July 2020 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Hey JtR. Sorry, just found this talk page. No idea how it's supposed to work. I'm a bit new to wiki edits etc. <br />
It's been a long time since I've done that procedure. What I remember is putting a Manjaro Image on the SD card, insert it in the PBP, running the script to install to the on boar emmc. But it's too long ago to be sure and my PBP is still running fine (maybe some day I'll screw the pooch again with some dd ^^ ).</div>AntonMadnesshttps://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=PinePower&diff=8923PinePower2021-01-07T14:19:36Z<p>AntonMadness: /* PinePower 65W GaN Charger */</p>

* The Manjaro project offers a mainline kernel with patches and modules to support PBPro hardware in two flavors. Both provide DD images and installer images (DD to SD card which will then install to eMMC when booted).<br />
* To learn more about Manjaro please visit [https://forum.manjaro.org/tags/manjaroarm Manjaro Forum] <br />
* '''Pitfall''': When using the EMMC installer from SD card, you may get stuck on the bootsplash animation forever. But that's just the image masking the TUI (text mode user interface) installer. Just press escape after like some seconds or so, and you will have an easy-to-follow installer.

[[File:debian.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
=== Daniel Thompson's Debian Installer for the Pinebook Pro ===<br />
* This is an image creator and Debian installer that runs from an existing Linux OS and installs Debian Bullseye<br />
** Installer can configure an encrypted rootfs and provides a choice of desktops, including the default Debian desktop based on Gnome 3<br />
** Strict adoption of upstream Debian packages (with exception of kernel and bootloaders) in order to provide a clean upgrade path as Bullseye matures<br />
* Download at: https://github.com/daniel-thompson/pinebook-pro-debian-installer/<br />
* Pull requests welcome but for discussion and support please use [https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8487 the forum topic].<br />
<br />
For more information, see the [[Pinebook_Pro_Debian_Installer]] wiki page<br />
<br />
=== Official Debian Installer Images ===<br />
* Uses only the upstream kernel and firmware without special patches<br />
* No graphical display yet, works only through serial console<br />
* 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<br />
* Installer is loaded into RAM, can install onto the same media it's booted off of<br />
* Supports automatic partitioning and full disk encryption through LVM<br />
* Installer currently doesn't install the bootloader, leaving the installed system in an unbootable state until it's manually added<br />
<br />
[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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

* The Manjaro project offers a mainline kernel with patches and modules to support PBPro hardware in two flavors. Both provide DD images and installer images (DD to SD card which will then install to eMMC when booted).<br />
* To learn more about Manjaro please visit [https://forum.manjaro.org/tags/manjaroarm Manjaro Forum] <br />
* '''Pitfall''': When using the EMMC installer from SD card, you may get stuck on the bootsplash animation forever. But that's just the image masking the TUI (text mode user interface) installer. Just press escape after like some seconds or so, and you will have an easy-to-follow installer.

== Setting Up Your device - What You’ll Need to Get Started ==<br />
<br />
You will need the following to get started with using your PINE A64(+), SOPine/PINE A64-LTS, Pinebook or ROCK64 board:<br />
* Windows / Linux PC or MAC with a SD Card Reader connected to the Internet.<br />
* For PINE A64(+): Power Supply (PSU) and a micro usb cable. Please make sure to use a PSU rated at +5V @2A and a micro USB cable that is at least 26 AWG thick.<br />
* For SOPine/PINE A64-LTS: Power Supply (PSU) with 3.5mm OD/1.5mm ID barrel DC Jack. Please make sure to use a PSU rated at +5V @2A.<br />
* For Pinebook and ROCK64: Power Supply (PSU) with 3.5mm OD/1.5mm ID barrel DC Jack. Please make sure to use a PSU rated at +5V @3A.<br />
* MicroSD card (8GB or higher capacity) rated 'class 10' or better.<br />
* HDMI cable (unless you wish to run headless / without a monitor). On '''A64 Devices''' Android and Remix OS support 720p and 1080p, while Linux supports a [https://github.com/longsleep/sunxi-disp-tool#available-hdmi-output-names wider range of resolutions].<br />
* Input device(s) such as: keyboard, mouse, remote, pointer, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== A One-Step Solution to Flashing Your MicroSD Card ==<br />
Please try our [https://github.com/pine64dev/PINE64-Installer/blob/master/README.md PINE64 Installer] to easily select the PINE A64(+), SOPINE/PINE A64-LTS, Pinebook or ROCK64 OS of your choice and flash it to your MicroSD Card.<br />
<br />
You can also flash an OS image manually; please follow the instructions below.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Step-by-Step Instructions to Flashing MicroSD Cards ==<br />
<br />
'''Caution!'''<br />
<br />
Handle the Pine64 Single Board Computers' PCBs with care. Always hold bare boards by the edges and make sure to wear an anti-static wrist strap. Touching components on the front and back of the boards can result in an ESD discharge that may cause damage to the electronics. Avoid placing bare boards on materials such as carpets, plastics or other surfaces prone to electrostatic build-up.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Begin by imaging the OS of your choice'''<br />
<br />
The process of flashing PINE64 OS images to micro SD on your Windows, Linux or OSX device is the same for all devices. You will require a quality microSD card (8GB or greater; class 10 or faster). There are many [http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=681 substandard and counterfeit cards] in circulation and even reputable vendors may unknowingly sell counterfeit microSD cards. Cards that do not meet the criteria outlined above are known to cause a variety of issues including, but not limited to, complete boot failure. There are ways of testing microSD cards prior to installing the operating system to make sure they are appropriate for use with your board. The main utility for checking microSD cards is [http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/H2testw.shtml#download H2testw 1.4]; yet another alternative is [https://github.com/AltraMayor/f3/archive/v6.0.zip F3]. Yet abother overview of various options [https://www.raymond.cc/blog/test-and-detect-fake-or-counterfeit-usb-flash-drives-bought-from-ebay-with-h2testw/ Test and Detect Fake Cards]<br />
<br />
Please refer to the relevant section below for instructions on how to image your microSD card:<br />
* [[#Imaging microSD on Windows 7/8/8.1/10|Imaging microSD on Windows 7/8/8.1/10]]<br />
* [[#Imaging microSD on Apple OSX|Imaging microSD on Apple OSX]]<br />
* [[#Imaging microSD on Linux|Imaging microSD on Linux]]<br />
<br />
Having successfully imaged your microSD card, insert it into the microSD slot.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Plug in the HDMI Cable, Ethernet Cable and Peripherals to your PINE64 SBC'''<br />
<br />
Unless you are planning on running your board headless (without a monitor / as a server) you should plug in all necessary peripherals, including the HDMI and Ethernet cable, prior to powering ON the board. Do note, depending on which OS image you are using, some peripherals may or may not work. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Apply Power to Your Board'''<br />
<br />
Once you have imaged your microSD and plugged everything in, you are ready to apply power to the PIN64 Single Board Computer. You'll need a good quality 5 Volt, 2 Amp PSU. Using a good quality PSU is very important as failing to meet the required specifications may prevent the board from booting correctly. A marginally higher PSU Voltage is acceptable (for instance, 5.1 volts - due to the nature of the micro usb connection, a 5.1v supply can help protect slightly against voltage drops which can cause undesirable results). However, a significantly higher voltage of 7 Volts or more will damage the PINE64 Single Board Computer and may render it inoperative.<br />
<br />
For PINE A64(+) board, if you are using a separate micro USB cable with your PSU, make sure that the cable has a low resistance rating. Cables with high resistance will cause improper function and the unit may not boot at all or only partially. The thicker the internal cabling, the better [http://voyager8.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/how-to-choose-good-usb-data-and.html i.e. AWG (American Wire Gauge) 20 is better than AWG 28]. In General, '''power-only microUSB''' cables come with red colour USB header.<br />
<br />
Having completed the steps outlined above the PINE64 SIngle Board Computer will begin to boot. The onboard power-on LEDs will come on and Ethernet port LEDs will start to blink if you have an Ethenet cable plugged in. <br />
<br />

<br />
=== Imaging microSD on Windows 7/8/8.1/10 ===<br />
<br />
You will need the following utilities to get started with imaging the OS of your choice onto your microSD card:<br />
* A compression utility (used to unarchive the OS image). We recommend you use [http://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7zip].<br />
* A disk image utility (used to flash the .img to your SD card). We recommend you use either the [https://etcher.io/ Etcher] or [https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ Win32Imager] utility.<br />
<br />
'''Optional for Allwinner A64 SoC based boards'''<br />
* Phoenix Card image utility (used ONLY for phoenix card images). You can download it from [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0cEs0lxTtL3VmstaEFfbmU1NFk/view?usp=sharing here].<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Downloading and extracting OS image(s)'''<br />
<br />
You can find OS images for the respective devices in the [http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Main_Page device section] on the main page. <br />
Images designated ‘DD’ need to be flashed using Etcher or Win32imager, whilst images labelled ‘Phoenix Card Image’ require the Phoenix Card utility.<br />
<br />
Having downloaded the required OS image proceed to use 7zip to unarchive it by right-clicking the archive, and selecting ‘Extract All’. Upon completion, note the destination of where the .img file was extracted (‘Downloads’ folder by default). Once the process has completed, you can proceed to imaging the .img file.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Imaging the microSD card (DD)'''<br />
<br />
* Insert your microSD card into your laptop/USB card reader. You may require a SD → microSD converter, as most laptops and desktops only feature a full-size SD card reader. Once the microSD card is plugged into your computer, make sure to take note of the drive it has been assigned (the drive is assigned a letter, e.g. ‘F:’). You will need to remember the ‘letter’ it has been assigned when imaging the OS.<br />
<br />
* Launch Win32diskImager.exe or etcher.exe. You will be presented with a field titled ‘path’ and a drop down menu labeled ‘device’. Click the ‘path’, navigate to and select the OS image you extracted from the archive earlier. Next, from the drop-down menu select the drive your microSD has been assigned. '''N.B.''' Pay close attention to the selected drive (remember your letter) – the imaging process will format the selected drive. If you choose the wrong drive all your data will be lost.<br />
<br />
* Having chosen the desired OS image and the correct driver press ‘write’. Once the image has been written to your microSD card you will receive a pop-up notification. Be sure to close the application and to eject/remove your SD card safely from Windows.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Imaging using Phoenix Card (applicable only to Allwinner A64 SoC based boards)'''<br />
<br />
On Windows, you can also use Phoenix Card (for detailed instructions click [[PhoenixCard|here]]). The Phoenix Card utility works ONLY with images designated as ‘Phoenix Card’ in the downloads section. To use Phoenix Card follow these steps:<br />
<br />
* Insert your microSD card into your laptop/USB card reader. You may require a SD → microSD converter, as most laptops and desktops only feature a full-size SD card reader. Once the microSD card is plugged into your computer, make sure to take note of the drive it has been assigned (the drive is assigned a letter, e.g. ‘F:’). You will need to remember the ‘letter’ it has been assigned when imaging the OS.<br />
<br />
* Launch phoenixcard.exe. You will be presented with a ‘disk’ drop-down menu and a field denoted as ‘.img File’. Click on ‘.img File’ and navigate to and select the OS image have downloaded and unarchived. Next, make sure to select the disk that your microSD card has been assigned. '''N.B.''' Pay close attention to the selected drive (remember your letter) – the imaging process will format the selected drive. If you choose the wrong drive all your data will be lost.<br />
<br />
* Make sure to select ‘Startup!’ from the ‘Write mode’ window and click Burn. Once the image has been written to your microSD card you will receive a confirmation in the ‘option’ window. Be sure to close the application and to eject/remove your SD card safely from Windows.<br />

<br />
* Open up your terminal and navigate to the directory where you unarchived your OS image.<br />
<br />
* Before you start writing to the card, you will have to identify your microSD card. Type: diskutil list and note the output. The disk number should match the size of your SD card and will likely be using ‘Fdisk_partition_scheme’. Having identified the disk number execute the following commands (substitute diskX for your disk and name of image for pine64-image-name.img):<br />
<br />
''diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX<br />
sudo dd if=pine64-image-name.img of=/dev/disk2 bs=1M''<br />
<br />
* Wait patiently for the process to complete. Be sure to eject/remove your SD card safely from your Mac.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
'''Imaging the microSD card (GUI)'''<br />
<br />
* Insert your microSD card into your Linux laptop/USB card reader. Once the microSD card is plugged into your computer it should appear in your File Manager / on your desktop.<br />
<br />
* Launch Disks or the etcher utility (This tutorial outlines how to use Disks, if you wish to learn how to use Etcher please visit [https://etcher.io/ their website]).<br />
<br />
* Upon launching Disks, you will be presented with all volumes visible to your computer. As a rule of thumb, your microSD card should be found at the bottom of listed volumes. Verify this by checking the size and mounting of the microSD card. '''N.B.''' Pay close attention to the selected drive – the imaging process will format the selected drive. If you choose the wrong drive all your data will be lost.<br />
<br />
* Having selected your microSD card, click the cog menu in top right corner and choose the ‘Restore Disk Image’ option from the drop-down list. Navigate to and select the OS image you extracted from the archive earlier. Once you select it, you will be asked to enter your password and to confirm writing to the chosen volume (microSD card).<br />

* Before you start writing to the card, you will have to identify your microSD card.<br />
<br />
* Type: <code>lsblk</code> and pay attention to the listed disks. Disks will appear as ''/dev/mmcblk0 /dev/mmcblk1'' etc. <br />
* '''Hint''': the drive you currently have booted from has the <code>/</code> at the end of the line. This is the wrong drive. Look at the drive that matches your microSD card’s size.<br />
* Having located the microSD card use the following command to flash the .img of choice to the microSD card (/dev/sdb used as example): <code>sudo unmount /dev/mmcblk0</code><br />
* Now you are ready to write the image to the microSD card using this command: (replace the pine.img file with your image and mmcblkX with the correct device for the microSD card)<br />
<br />
<code>sudo dd if=pine.img of=/dev/mmcblkX bs=1M status=progress conv=fsync</code><br />
<br />
* Wait patiently for the process to complete.<br />
* use the command <code>sync</code> to ensure everything is written to the microSD card.<br />
* The card is ready to boot <br />
<br />
(sometimes this process fails and your microSD card can't boot, one way of fixing this is just to repeat the same thing, you can also try a different microSD card)<br />
<br />
== Instructions to Flashing eMMC Modules ==<br />
<br />
All PINE64 devices - with the '''notable exception of the original Pine A64(+) SBC''' - support eMMC modules as an alternative boot and storage solution to micro SD cards.<br />
An eMMC module can be purchased for your device(s) from the [https://www.pine64.org/?post_type=product PINE64 store]. The only PINE64 device that ships with an eMMC module by default is the Pinebook.<br />
<br />
The available modules come in three different capacities: 16Gb, 32Gb, 64Gb and 128Gb<br />
<br />
There are a few ways to flash eMMC modules with the desired OS image. The following sections are a summary of the processes involved in flashing the OS image of your choice to the eMMC module. <br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
=== Flashing Using Pine64 Installer (Micro SD-to-eMMC) ===<br />
<br />
This may be the simplest way to install an OS image to eMMC, however the selection of images that can be installed using this method is, at the time of writing, very limited. <br />
To flash the OS image to your eMMC using this process you will need the following: <br />
<br />
* An SD card of at least 8Gb capacity <br />
* A Windows, Linux or Mac OS computer with the [https://github.com/pine64dev/PINE64-Installer/blob/master/README.md PINE64 installer] installed. The PINE64 Installer is available for all major platforms.<br />
* A SD card reader <br />
* Your PINE64 device with the eMMC module installed<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The SD-to-eMMC Flashing Process'''<br />
<br />
*Begin the process by launching the PINE64 Installer utility and clicking 'Choose an OS'. Next select your device from the drop-down menu. You will be presented with the various OS images available via the utility; you will notice that some of the OS images have '''SDCard to eMMC listed next to them in the brackets'''. Only images with this designation in the brackets will be able to help you flash the image of your choice to eMMC. <br />
<br />
*Having selected an OS image put in your microSD card into your SD cardreader and follow the on-screen instructions. The process will flash the SD-to-eMMC installation image to your micro SD card. Once PINE64 Installer has completed the flashing process remove and micro SD card from your computer and place insert it into your PINE64 device. <br />
<br />
*Connect a keyboard and HDMI display for the SD-to-eMMC installation process (does not apply to Pinebook). Make sure that both your eMMC module and micro SD card are inserted into your device and apply power to the unit. You will be provided with further instructions on the display as well as a progress bar of the eMMC installation process. Once the process is complete, power down your PINE64 device and remove the micro SD from its socket. You can now boot into your OS image of choice from the eMMC module.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
=== Flashing Using the USB-to-eMMC Adaptor (Preferred Way) ===<br />
<br />
A USB-to-eMMC adaptor is available from purchase from the [https://store.pine64.org/product/usb-adapter-for-emmc-module/ PIN64 Store] making it easy to mount the eMMC module as a volume in your Windows, Mac OS or Linux computer. The eMMC can hence be flashed directly from your computer with any image similarly to a micro SD card.<br />
<br />
'''This installation method works for all devices that support eMMC modules regardless of the chipset''' and it is therefore the preferred way of flashing OS images to eMMC. All available OS images for your device can be installed on the eMMC module this way. <br />
<br />
*This process of flashing an OS image to eMMC is '''literally identical to imaging micro SD cards''', so please read [http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/NOOB#Step-by-Step_Instructions_to_Flashing_MicroSD_Cards Step-by-Step Instructions to Flashing Micro SD Cards] before you begin. <br />
<br />
For this method you will need the following: <br />
<br />
*A Windows, Linux or Mac OS computer<br />
*A PINE64 eMMC module<br />
*The PINE64 USB-to-eMMC adaptor<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Flashing eMMC using the adaptor'''<br />
<br />
*Insert the the eMMC module into the USB adaptor and plug it into your Windows, Linux or Mac OS computer. It should mount as a regular USB drive and show up in your file manager. <br />
*If you are using Linux or Mac OS you can either use the dd terminal command or a GUI utility such as [https://etcher.io/ Etcher] to flash the chosen OS Image to eMMC. <br />
*If you are using a Windows machine use [https://etcher.io/ Etcher] or [https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ Win32 Disk Imager] to flash the OS Image to the eMMC module. <br />
<br />
Once the image has been flashed using your preferred method safely dismount the USB adaptor in your system and unplug it from your computer. Your eMMC is now ready to boot and can be inserted into the eMMC socket on your PINE64 device.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
=== Flashing to eMMC from a SD Boot ===<br />
<br />
Some of the available Linux images for Allwinner A64 devices recognise eMMC modules as mounted storage when the device is booted from a micro SD card. This is true for all recent releases of [https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-build/releases ayufan's Linux images]. In result it is possible to flash an OS image to eMMC using the DD command in terminal or the Disks GUI utility included with the Mate desktop. <br />
<br />
There are '''two ways''' in which an OS image can be flashed from within a micro SD boot: <br />
*Via a script called Pine64_install_to_eMMC.sh found in ''/usr/local/sbin''. This script will install an Ubuntu Mate OS installation (identical to the on running on the SD) to the eMMC module. To execute the script navigate to its location in the terminal and type ''sudo ./Pine64_install_to_eMMC.sh''. Follow the instructions. <br />
<br />
*By manually downloading and flashing a OS image for your device using DD or the Disk GUI. This way of flashing an OS image to the eMMC is identical to that used on a Linux computer (e.g. for flashing an OS image to a SD card). For more information on how the process works please see the detailed guide on [http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/NOOB#Imaging_microSD_on_Linux imaging OS images to SD card on Linux]. <br />
<br />
For the latter of the two methods here is a summary of the process: <br />
*Flash an OS image which recognises eMMC as mounted storage to a micro SD card. For details on how to flash a micro SD card see [http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/NOOB#Step-by-Step_Instructions_to_Flashing_MicroSD_Cards section 3.0] <br />
*Insert both the micro SD and eMMC module into your device and power it on.<br />
*Once the PINE64 device boots from micro SD, open the web browser and download the desired OS image for your device. <br />
*Once the OS image downloads check in terminal or in Disks utility the eMMC's mounting location.<br />
*Use the DD command or Disks utility to flash the downloaded image to the eMMC module. <br />
*Once the flashing process is completed power down your device and remove the micro SD card. You should now be able to power your device back up and it will boot the image flashed to the eMMC module.<br />

=== Flashing to eMMC using FEL (Allwinner A64 Devices Only) ===<br />
<br />
Under particular circumstances it may prove difficult to rely on a SD card to flash an OS image to an Allwinner A64 device. In such instances OS images can be directly flashed by means of entering into FEL mode. FEL is a low-level subroutine in the BootROM, and the process of enabling FEL differs from one device to another. To learn more about FEL please refer to the [http://linux-sunxi.org/FEL SUNXI Wiki section] dedicated to the subject. <br />
<br />
The process of flashing via FEL is more complex than utilising a micro SD and is therefore '''better suited for proficient and advanced users'''. <br />
<br />
For the process of flashing an image to the eMMC on a device in FEL mode you will need: <br />
*A computer running Mac OS or Linux<br />
*An OTG USB A-to-A cable <br />
<br />
To enter FEL you will need to: <br />
*On the Pinebook, power down the Pinebook and remove the PSU, unscrew the bottom of the case and press down the FEL button on the PCB (REF). Plug in the OTG USB A-to-A cord to your computer and the OTG USB port on the Pinebook (on the right facing an open case). Reinsert the PSU cord and press the power button with the FEL button pressed down. Release the FEL button after 3 seconds. <br />
*On the Pine A64(+) power down the board and remove the micro SD card and power cord. Plug in the OTG USB A-to-A cord to your computer and the OTG USB port on the Pine A64 (+) and SoPine (top port). Power on the device and immediately after insert a micro SD card [https://app.box.com/s/s3m7rb5zfe0jkwqhaiy1zytqq3436fqs with FEL code].<br />
<br />
You can check if your device entered FEL mode using ''lsusb'' command in terminal. It should be listed as a device on the USB Bus. <br />
<br />
The next step is to mount your device so that your computer recognises the eMMC as mass storage (UMS). A script called boot-tools streamlining this process is available '''thanks to ayufan''' on [https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/boot-tools his github]. Follow his instructions and in terminal perform the following stepps: <br />
<br />
*''git clone https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/boot-tools.git<br />
*''cd boot-tools''<br />
*''make pinebook_ums''<br />
or<br />
*''make pine64_ums''<br />
<br />
Once your device mounts as UMS it will appear in your file manager. In CLI you can check if the storage is listed using ''fdisk -l''. <br />
<br />
This process of flashing an OS image to eMMC with the device in FEL mode and mounted as UMS is '''literally identical to imaging micro SD cards''', so please read [http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/NOOB#Step-by-Step_Instructions_to_Flashing_MicroSD_Cards Step-by-Step Instructions to Flashing Micro SD Cards] and follow the procedure. You can use DD or Disks/ Disk Utility to flash the OS image directly to your device's eMMC. <br />
<br />
Once the flashing process is completed, power down your device, remove the A-to-A USB OTG cable and after reapply power to boot your device from eMMC.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Flashing to eMMC using Rockchip Tools (Rock64 Only) ===<br />
<br />
Rockchip has a different boot hierarchy to Allwinner's devices making it much more difficult to flash OS images using the micro SD-to-eMMC scheme used on A64. There are, however, flashing tools that make it possible to flash directly to eMMC on a Rock64 in loader and MarkROM modes. <br />
<br />
To flash to the eMMC module using these tools you will need the following: <br />
*A Windows, Mac OS or Linux computer<br />
*An A-to-A USB cable <br />
*The Rock64 board with the eMMC module inserted into the socket<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Using Windows 7/8.1/10 ''' <br />
You will need to download the [https://github.com/rockchip-linux/tools/tree/master/windows DriverAssistant aka Rockchip driver] as well as the [https://github.com/rockchip-linux/tools/tree/master/windows AndroidTool_Release] used for flashing OS images. Having completed the downloads extract both archives.The Rockchip driver needs to be installed prior to using the AndroidTool utility. <br />
<br />
Having installed the driver and flashing utility, follow these steps:<br />
*Make sure that eMMC is inserted into the slot on the Rock64<br />
*Place a jumper / short out the eMMC pins on the board (consult [http://files.pine64.org/doc/rock64/guide/ROCK64_Installing_Android_To_eMMC.pdf this document] for more details.<br />
*Insert one end of the A-to-A cable into your Windows PC and the other into your Rock64 OTG USB port (top)<br />
*Inset the power cord into the Rock64<br />
*Start AndroidTool; make sure that it reports 'Found One Maskrom Device' (if it does not recognise your device, please repeat previous steps)<br />
*Select either the latest Stock Android build or ayufan's Android TV build with the suffic -update. Download and the extract the chosen image. <br />
*In AndroidTool press the firmware tab and navigate to where you extracted the OS image and select it. <br />
*Press the upgrade tab. You will be prompted when the flashing process is completed. <br />
*Remove the USB A-to-A cable, power off your board and power it on again to boot into eMMC. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Using Linux or Mac OS'''<br />
<br />
*Make sure that eMMC is inserted into the slot on the Rock64<br />
*Download latest stable or pre-release (to be used at own risk) Android TV OS image from [https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/android-7.1/releases ayufan's github]. The image you wish to download is the one '''without a suffix'''; without -update or -raw in the OS image title. <br />
*In terminal, download rkflashtool following instructions on [https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/android-7.1/blob/master/README.md ayufan's github]<br />
*Extract the folder containing partitions of the OS image and place the script listed on ayufan's github in the folder<br />
*Hold down the recovery button on the board<br />
*Insert one end of the A-to-A cable into your Mac OS or Linux PC and the other into your Rock64 OTG USB port (top)<br />
*Inset the power cord into the Rock64<br />
*Check that your device is in loader mode by typing in the terminal ''sudo rkflashtool n''. If rkflashtool doesn't detect the Rock64 please repeat last 3 steps <br />
*In terminal navigate to where you extracted the Android folder containing the OS partitions and the script and type ''rkinstall''; this will install the community Android TV build to eMMC. <br />
*Remove the USB A-to-A cable, power off your board and power it on again to boot into eMMC.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Flashing to eMMC Android 'Update' OS Images on Linux (Rock64 Only) ===<br />
<br />
It is possible to flash Android 'update' images to the Rock64 eMMC using a Linux PC. This process requires a tool called [http://www.haoyuelectronics.com/service/RK3066/tools/linux/Linux_Upgrade_Tool_v1.2.tar.gz Linux Upgrade Tool] and the full documentation of its functions can be found [http://www.hotmcu.com/wiki/Flashing_Firmware_Image_Files_Using_The_Rockchip_Tool#Using_Linux_Upgrade_Tool_to_flash_update.img here]. Make sure that you download v1.2 or newer, as older tools do not support the RK3328 used on the Rock64. <br />
<br />
To flash to the eMMC module using this method you will need the following: <br />
*A Linux computer<br />
*An A-to-A USB cable <br />
*The Rock64 board with the eMMC module inserted into the socket<br />
<br />
Start by downloading an Android '''update''' image for the Rock64. Both PINE64 and Ayufan provide such images for the board - and they are clearly designated as such on both this WiKi's download section and on ayufan's github. For the purpose of this example, I'll use the ayufan's ATV community build: <br />
<br />
*Download latest stable or pre-release (to be used at own risk) Android TV OS image from [https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/android-7.1/releases ayufan's github]. The image you wish to download is the one '''with update suffix'''. You need to '''rename the downloaded image to update.img'''.<br />
*Download the [http://www.haoyuelectronics.com/service/RK3066/tools/linux/Linux_Upgrade_Tool_v1.2.tar.gz Linux Upgrade Tool] to your Linux PC and unarchived it. <br />
*Extract the archived update Android OS image somewhere where you will remember its path<br />
*Hold down the recovery button on the board<br />
*Insert one end of the A-to-A cable into your Mac OS or Linux PC and the other into your Rock64 OTG USB port (top)<br />
*Inset the power cord into the Rock64<br />
*In terminal, navigate to where you extracted Rockchip Update Tool and issue the following command substituting the correct path for where the Android Update OS Image is located: ''sudo ./upgrade_tool uf /path/to/update.img''<br />
*Wait as the utility installs Android to eMMC on your Rock64. <br />
*Remove the USB A-to-A cable, power off your board and power it on again to boot into eMMC.<br />
<br />
== Flashing u-boot to SPI Flash ==<br />
<br />
Some of PINE64 devices, such as the Rock64 and SOPine, are equipped with SPI Flash. This allows users to flash u-boot onto the SPI and boot from an external USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 SSD/HDD/thumb-drive, thereby forgoing using eMMC or an microSD card. <br />
<br />
To find out more about which images can used in conjunction for SPI booting please see [https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/ ayufan's github].<br />
<br />
Writing u-boot to SPI Flash can be achieved in two ways:<br />
<br />
=== Using a Stand-Alone Image to Write u-boot to SPI ===<br />
This may be the simplest method of flashing u-boot to SPI. Download a dedicated image labelled '''u-boot-flash-spi.img.xz''' from [https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-u-boot/releases ayufan's github] and flash it to a micro SD card, the same you would with any OS image (to learn how to flash OS images to micro SD please following steps outlined in [http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/NOOB#Step-by-Step_Instructions_to_Flashing_MicroSD_Cards Section 3].<br />
<br />
'''Having flashed the image follow these steps''': <br />
<br />
*Insert the SD into the ROCK64<br />
*Remove all other peripherals from the board <br />
*'''Make sure that the eMMC module is disconnected from the board'''<br />
*Apply power to the ROCK64<br />
*Wait (few seconds) until the the LEDs on the board will blink continually<br />
*Power off the board.<br />
<br />
The board is now ready to boot from USB 2.0/3.0 storage.<br />
<br />
=== Using a Script on Linux OS Images ===<br />
Most of recent (newer than 0.6.9) Linux OS images contain a script called '''rock64_write_spi_flash.sh''', which is found in ''/usr/local/sbin'' directory. To run the script you will first need to flash a Linux OS image to a micro SD card (to learn how to flash OS images to micro SD please following steps outlined in [http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/NOOB#Step-by-Step_Instructions_to_Flashing_MicroSD_Cards Section 3]). Before proceeding '''make sure that the eMMC module is disconnected''' from the board. Once you have booted into Linux on your PINE64 device all you have to do is run the aforementioned script using this command: <br />
<br />
''sudo ./rock64_write_spi_flash.sh''<br />
<br />
Once the script finishes its operation, power off your board and remove the micro SD card.<br />
The board is now ready to boot from USB 2.0/3.0 storage.<br />
<br />
=== Erasing and Rewriting SPI === <br />
There are two ways of removing u-boot from SPI. You can either download '''u-boot-flash-spi.img.xz''' from [https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-u-boot/releases ayufan's github] or use a script found on Linux OS images titled:'''rock64_erase_spi_flash.sh'''. Follow the instructions in the previous sub-sections for the chosen method of removing u-boot from SPI; the instructions are are identical, as the process of erasing u-boot is the exact opposite of flashing it. <br />
<br />
'''N.B. You can also erase SPI manually". <br />
To do so, you need to download mtd-utils. on Debian or Ubuntu follow these instructions:<br />
<br />
''sudo apt-get install mtd-utils''<br />
''sudo flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0''<br />
<br />
=== Booting an OS image from USB 2.0/3.0 Storage ===<br />
To boot and OS image from USB 2.0/3.0 Storage such as a SSD/HDD or a thumbdrive you first need to have u-boot written to your SPI flash. Please follow the instructions in the previous sub-sections to learn how to write u-boot to SPI on your PINE64 device. <br />
<br />
Once you have u-boot on your SPI, the process off booting is very similar to booting from micro SD or eMMC.<br />
*Download one of the supported OS images for your PINE64 device<br />
*Flash the OS image to your USB 2.0/USB 3.0 storage device (to learn how to flash OS images please following steps outlined in [http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/NOOB#Step-by-Step_Instructions_to_Flashing_MicroSD_Cards Section 3] The instructions are identical for all types of storage, including USB 2.0/USB 3.0 HDDs and thumb-drives.) <br />
*Insert the USB storage device with the flashed OS image into one of the USB ports on your PINE64 device<br />
*Apply power<br />
<br />
If you have followed all the steps correctly, the board should boot from your USB 2.0/3.0 storage device.<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting Your Device ==<br />
<br />
There is a number of things that can prevent the PINE64 board from booting up properly. The most common culprits of a failed boot are (to find out more click [http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=514 here]):<br />
<br />
* Subpar or counterfeit microSD card<br />
* Subpar Power Supply<br />
* High resistance (thin) or a very long microUSB cable<br />
* Failed imaging of the microSD card or eMMC module<br />
<br />
Make sure to have the newest version of the OS image your are running. On Allwinner A64 devices running Linux you can update the kernel and uboot using scripts located in the following directory: /usr/local/sbin<br />
<br />
* To navigate to the directory type (in terminal): ''cd /usr/local/sbin''<br />
* You list all the available scripts by typing (in terminal): ''ls''<br />
* To run the script required update script run the following command: ''sudo ./update_script.sh'' (substitute the relevant update script for update_script)<br />
<br />
'''Troubleshooting Step by Step'''<br />
<br />
Follow these steps to determine the cause of your problem:<br />
<br />
* Check your PSU and microUSB cable ratings<br />
* Download and image a base image of Linux<br />
* Plug in power and Ethernet into your PINE64 device<br />
* Watch Ethernet port LED activity<br />
* Check your router for your device's IP<br />
* Attempt to ssh into your device's from your computer<br />
<br />
If your PSU and microUSB meet the criteria, and you have correctly followed the instructions to image your card and power on the board, but you are not seeing any LED activity and cannot ssh into your device then either the imaging process failed (possibly due to a subpar microSD) OR the PSU / microUSB cable is/are faulty.<br />
<br />
If your PSU and microUSB meet the criteria, and you have correctly imaged the OS to your card and power on the board and your can ssh into your PINE A64(+) but get no video feed, then it's likely that the native resolution of your monitor/TV is not supported.<br />
<br />
If neither of the above mentioned scenarios fits the problem you are facing, please consult this thread (thanks to Ghost for compiling the list): http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=680<br />
