* [http://build.webos-ports.org/luneos-testing/images/pinephone/ LuneOS test image for PinePhone]<br />
<br />
It is recommended to use ''bmaptool'', which is faster than dd, and can decompress archived image files on-the-fly.<br />
<br />
Syntax is:<br />
<br />
bmaptool copy [from] [to]<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
bmaptool copy http://build.webos-ports.org/luneos-testing/images/pinephone/luneos-dev-image-pinephone-testing-0-177.rootfs.wic.gz /dev/mmcblk0<br />
<br />
.wic file can be treated as .img file when flashing. You may rename .wic file to .img when using GUI tools that require file extension to be .img.<br />
<br />
== Maemo Leste ==<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

[[File:PostmarketOS-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
postmarketOS extends [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] to run on smartphones and other mobile devices.<br />
It offers various user interfaces (Phosh, Plasma Mobile, Sxmo, Plasma Desktop, Gnome 3, Kodi, XFCE4, ...).<br />
<br />
As of writing, official images are provided with Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Sxmo.<br />
The official images come in two flavors, either as a test image to try out postmarketOS, or with the installer.<br />
<br />
When using the installer images (recommended), it is possible to:<br />
* encrypt the installation<br />
* install from the SD card to eMMC<br />
<br />
Power users may also create their own image with the distribution's install and development tool <code>pmbootstrap</code>.<br />
<br />

== Sailfish OS ==<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />
<br />
* [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/PinePhone64 PinePhone Wiki Page] on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/ Linux kernel config repo]<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS 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].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />
<br />

<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
<div style=float:right>[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|100px]]</div><br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

<br />
It is recommended that you log your bug reports in [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues the project's issue tracker]. As a general rule, issues with third-party apps (even the default ones) should be reported upstream. A Mobian issue would be related to getting the hardware to work on the PinePhone, but if unsure where the issue should be reported just open a ticket or ask. Feel free to pick an open issue to work on, or send a merge request on [https://gitlab.com/mobian1 Gitlab].<br />

'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS 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].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card. Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image. Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC. The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later. Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests. Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

<br />
== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to the microSD and then insert it into the phone. Power up the PinePhone, perform and complete the test routine, then apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />
<br />
dd the image on a 8 GB microSD card or larger.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable. This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
If you would like to see specific commands for how to complete these steps, see:<br />
* https://github.com/nikhiljha/pp-fedora-sdsetup (an example for Fedora) or<br />
* https://xnux.eu/howtos/install-arch-linux-arm.html (an example for Arch Linux).<br />
<br />
General step:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/<br />
# Follow the README instructions, which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
<div style=float:right>[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|100px]]</div><br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

An unofficial Debian build for ARM64 running with the Phosh user interface (developed by Purism, Phosh uses Wayland instead of Xorg). The base system is pure Debian, with only the GUI applications and a few others (ModemManager, WiFi chip firmware) being built from modified sources (as well as the kernel and u-boot). Current version is Debian Bullseye.<br />

'''How to contribute and report defects'''<br />
<br />
It is recommended that you log your bug reports in [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues the project's issue tracker]. As a general rule, issues with third-party apps (even the default ones) should be reported upstream. A Mobian issue would be related to getting the hardware to work on the PinePhone, but if unsure where the issue should be reported just open a ticket or ask. Feel free to pick an open issue to work on, or send a merge request on [https://gitlab.com/mobian1 Gitlab].<br />
<br />

== Multi-boot demo image ==<br />
<br />
{{Warning| This is an demo image for testing different OSes before installing a regular image. It is highly discouraged attempting to use the image productively. The kernel is shared across the different OSes and is not being updated.}}<br />
<br />
The purpose of this image is for users to easily try many of the above Linux distributions, without having to figure out how to flash them individually and juggle with many microSD cards.<br />

postmarketOS extends [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] to run on smartphones and other mobile devices.<br />
It offers various user interfaces (Phosh, Plasma Mobile, Sxmo, Plasma Desktop, Gnome 3, Kodi, XFCE4, ...).<br />
<br />
As of writing, official images are provided with Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Sxmo. The official images come in two flavors, either as demo image to try out postmarketOS, or with the installer.<br />
<br />
When using the installer images (recommended), it is possible to:<br />
* encrypt your installation<br />
* install from the SD card to eMMC<br />
<br />
Power users may also create their own image with the distribution's install and development tool <code>pmbootstrap</code>.<br />

'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS 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].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card. Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC. The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later. Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests. Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to the microSD and then insert it into the phone. Power up the PinePhone, perform and complete the test routine, then apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />
<br />
dd the image on a 8 GB microSD card or larger.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable. This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
If you would like to see specific commands for how to complete these steps, see:<br />
* https://github.com/nikhiljha/pp-fedora-sdsetup (an example for Fedora) or<br />
* https://xnux.eu/howtos/install-arch-linux-arm.html (an example for Arch Linux).<br />
<br />
General step:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/<br />
# Follow the README instructions, which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

<br />
It is recommended that you log your bug reports in [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues the project's issue tracker]. As a general rule, issues with third-party apps (even the default ones) should be reported upstream. A Mobian issue would be related to getting the hardware to work on the PinePhone, but if unsure where the issue should be reported just open a ticket or ask. Feel free to pick an open issue to work on, or send a merge request on [https://gitlab.com/mobian1 Gitlab].<br />

== Sailfish OS ==<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|150px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />

'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS 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].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card. Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer.<br />
<br />
'''Prebuilt image'''<br />
<br />
Download the image file (.img) from [https://gitlab.com/as400l/pp-sailfishos-images].<br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

= Factory Test OS =<br />
On the Braveheart model there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC. The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later. Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests. Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
'''Warning:'''Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable. This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.<br />

'''Note:'''This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.<br />

If you would like to see specific commands for how to complete these steps, see https://github.com/nikhiljha/pp-fedora-sdsetup (an example for Fedora) or https://xnux.eu/howtos/install-arch-linux-arm.html (an example for Arch Linux).<br />
<br />
# Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from 252 MB to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like rsync -ar).<br />
# Edit /etc/fstab to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/<br />
# Follow the README instructions, which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

== Mobian ==<br />
[[File:Debian-logo.png]]<br />
<br />
An unofficial Debian build for ARM64 running with the Phosh user interface (developed by Purism, Phosh uses Wayland instead of Xorg). The base system is pure Debian, with only the GUI applications and a few others (ModemManager, WiFi chip firmware) being built from modified sources (as well as the kernel and u-boot). Current version is Debian Bullseye.<br />

'''How to contribute and report defects'''<br />
<br />
It is recommended that you log your bug reports in [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues the project's issue tracker]. As a general rule, issues with third-party apps (even the default ones) should be reported upstream. A Mobian issue would be related to getting the hardware to work on the PinePhone, but if unsure where the issue should be reported just open a ticket or ask. Feel free to pick an open issue to work on, or send a merge request on [https://gitlab.com/mobian1 Gitlab].<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />

== Multi-boot demo image ==<br />
<br />
{{Warning| This is an demo image for testing different OSes before installing a regular image. It is highly discouraged attempting to use the image productively. The kernel is shared across the different OSes and is not being updated.}}<br />
<br />
The purpose of this image is for users to easily try many of the above Linux distributions, without having to figure out how to flash them individually and juggle with many microSD cards.<br />

== Nemo Mobile ==<br />
<br />
Nemo Mobile is the open source build of Sailfish OS, see the new website nemomobile.net.<br />
<br />
You can install Nemo on any device that runs Sailfish, see the above website for details. Or you can flash the image to SD card/emmc on the PinePhone, download here https://yadi.sk/d/8oSZp-frGidscw (requires Yandex Disk account).<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
Download location is [https://github.com/neochapay/nemo-device-dont_be_evil/ here on GitHub]. The latest version is not an image file and therefore not for beginners!<br />
<br />
Alternative easy installation method: install Sailfish on your PP first (follow instructions on this page under Sailfish). Enable developer mode.<br />
In the terminal run as root (devel-su):<br />
<br />
ssu ar nemo-devel-ux http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:/neochapay:/nemo-ux/sailfish_latest_armv7hl/<br />
<br />
then<br />
<br />
pkcon refresh<br />
<br />
then install the nemo-specific Glacier packages:<br />
<br />
pkcon install lipstick-glacier-home-qt5<br />
<br />
If necessary, reboot.<br />

postmarketOS extends [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] to run on smartphones and other mobile devices.<br />
It offers various user interfaces (Phosh, Plasma Mobile, Sxmo, Plasma Desktop, Gnome 3, Kodi, XFCE4, ...).<br />
<br />
As of writing, official images are provided with Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Sxmo. The official images come in two flavors, either as demo image to try out postmarketOS, or with the installer.<br />
<br />
When using the installer images (recommended), it is possible to:<br />
* encrypt your installation<br />
* install from the SD card to eMMC<br />
<br />
Power users may also create their own image with the distribution's install and development tool <code>pmbootstrap</code>.<br />

'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS 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].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card. Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer.<br />
<br />
'''Prebuilt image'''<br />
<br />
Download the image file (.img) from [https://gitlab.com/as400l/pp-sailfishos-images].<br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

= Factory Test OS =<br />
On the Braveheart model there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC. The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later. Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests. Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
'''Warning:'''Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable. This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
'''Note:'''This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.<br />
<br />
If you would like to see specific commands for how to complete these steps, see https://github.com/nikhiljha/pp-fedora-sdsetup (an example for Fedora) or https://xnux.eu/howtos/install-arch-linux-arm.html (an example for Arch Linux).<br />
<br />
# Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from 252 MB to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like rsync -ar).<br />
# Edit /etc/fstab to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/<br />
# Follow the README instructions, which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

It is recommended that you log your bug reports in [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues the project's issue tracker]. As a general rule, issues with third-party apps (even the default ones) should be reported upstream. A Mobian issue would be related to getting the hardware to work on the PinePhone, but if unsure where the issue should be reported just open a ticket or ask. Feel free to pick an open issue to work on, or send a merge request on [https://gitlab.com/mobian1 Gitlab].<br />

'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS 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].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card. Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer.<br />
<br />
'''Prebuilt image'''<br />
<br />

'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

= Factory Test OS =<br />
On the Braveheart model there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC. The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later. Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests. Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
'''Warning:'''Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable. This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
'''Note:'''This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.<br />
<br />
If you would like to see specific commands for how to complete these steps, see https://github.com/nikhiljha/pp-fedora-sdsetup (an example for Fedora) or https://xnux.eu/howtos/install-arch-linux-arm.html (an example for Arch Linux).<br />
<br />
# Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from 252 MB to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like rsync -ar).<br />
# Edit /etc/fstab to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/<br />
# Follow the README instructions, which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|100px]]<br />

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

It is recommended that you log your bug reports in [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues the project's issue tracker]. As a general rule, issues with third-party apps (even the default ones) should be reported upstream. A Mobian issue would be related to getting the hardware to work on the PinePhone, but if unsure where the issue should be reported just open a ticket or ask. Feel free to pick an open issue to work on, or send a merge request on [https://gitlab.com/mobian1 Gitlab].<br />

There is no pre-built complete image. For now users are expected to follow the instructions in the [https://mobile.nixos.org/getting-started.html Getting Started page], and on [https://mobile.nixos.org/devices/pine64-pinephone-braveheart.html the device's page].<br />
<br />
'''What works, what does not work'''<br />
<br />
This information may change, but currently it boots, it's as compatible as the Android-based devices are with Mobile NixOS. It even supports a bit more since it can use WiFi.<br />
<br />
Support for all of the hardware will be coming, this project is a breadth-first work, where the work spans multiple devices in parallel.<br />
<br />

postmarketOS extends [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] to run on smartphones and other mobile devices.<br />
It offers various user interfaces (Phosh, Plasma Mobile, Sxmo, Plasma Desktop, Gnome 3, Kodi, XFCE4, ...).<br />
<br />
As of writing, official images are provided with Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Sxmo. The official images come in two flavors, either as demo image to try out postmarketOS, or with the installer.<br />
<br />
When using the installer images (recommended), it is possible to:<br />
* encrypt your installation<br />
* install from the SD card to eMMC<br />
<br />
Power users may also create their own image with the distribution's install and development tool <code>pmbootstrap</code>.<br />

'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS 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].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card. Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer.<br />
<br />
'''Prebuilt image'''<br />
<br />

'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

= Factory Test OS =<br />
On the Braveheart model there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC. The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later. Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests. Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to the microSD and then insert it into the phone. Power up the PinePhone, perform and complete the test routine, then apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />
<br />
dd the image on a 8 GB micoSD card or larger.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
'''Warning:'''Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable. This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
'''Note:'''This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.<br />
<br />
If you would like to see specific commands for how to complete these steps, see https://github.com/nikhiljha/pp-fedora-sdsetup (an example for Fedora) or https://xnux.eu/howtos/install-arch-linux-arm.html (an example for Arch Linux).<br />
<br />
# Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from 252 MB to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like rsync -ar).<br />
# Edit /etc/fstab to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/<br />
# Follow the README instructions, which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />

Tofe recommends using bmaptool, which is way faster than dd, and can decompresses compressed images on-the-fly.<br />
<br />
Syntax is:<br />
<br />
bmaptool copy [from] [to]<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
bmaptool copy http://build.webos-ports.org/luneos-testing/images/pinephone/luneos-dev-image-pinephone-testing-0-140.rootfs.wic.gz /dev/mmcblk0<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

'''How to contribute and report defects'''<br />
<br />
It is recommended that you log your bug reports in [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues the project's issue tracker]. As a general rule, issues with third-party apps (even the default ones) should be reported upstream. A Mobian issue would be related to getting the hardware to work on the PinePhone, but if unsure where the issue should be reported just open a ticket or ask. Feel free to pick an open issue to work on, or send a merge request on [https://gitlab.com/mobian1 Gitlab].<br />

'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS 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].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card. Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer.<br />
<br />

* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

= Factory Test OS =<br />
On the Braveheart model there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC. The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later. Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests. Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
'''Warning:'''Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable. This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
'''Note:'''This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.<br />
<br />
If you would like to see specific commands for how to complete these steps, see https://github.com/nikhiljha/pp-fedora-sdsetup (an example for Fedora) or https://xnux.eu/howtos/install-arch-linux-arm.html (an example for Arch Linux).<br />
<br />
# Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from 252 MB to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like rsync -ar).<br />
# Edit /etc/fstab to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/<br />
# Follow the README instructions, which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />

<br />
== Maemo Leste ==<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />
<br />
More detailed information can be found on [https://leste.maemo.org/Main_Page the Maemo Leste wiki], or follow [https://maemo-leste.github.io/ announcements on their website], and check out [https://leste.maemo.org/Leste_FAQ Frequently Asked Questions]. <br />

'''How to contribute and report defects'''<br />
<br />
It is recommended that you log your bug reports in [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues the project's issue tracker]. As a general rule, issues with third-party apps (even the default ones) should be reported upstream. A Mobian issue would be related to getting the hardware to work on the PinePhone, but if unsure where the issue should be reported just open a ticket or ask. Feel free to pick an open issue to work on, or send a merge request on [https://gitlab.com/mobian1 Gitlab].<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />

You can install Nemo on any device that runs Sailfish, see the above website for details. Or you can flash the image to SD card/emmc on the PinePhone, download here https://yadi.sk/d/8oSZp-frGidscw (requires Yandex Disk account).<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
Download location is [https://github.com/neochapay/nemo-device-dont_be_evil/ here on GitHub]. The latest version is not an image file and therefore not for beginners!<br />
<br />
Alternative easy installation method: install Sailfish on your PP first (follow instructions on this page under Sailfish). Enable developer mode.<br />
In the terminal run as root (devel-su):<br />
<br />
ssu ar nemo-devel-ux http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:/neochapay:/nemo-ux/sailfish_latest_armv7hl/<br />
<br />
then<br />
pkcon refresh<br />
<br />

<br />
'''What works, what does not work'''<br />
<br />
This information may change, but currently it boots, it's as compatible as the Android-based devices are with Mobile NixOS. It even supports a bit more since it can use WiFi.<br />
<br />
Support for all of the hardware will be coming, this project is a breadth-first work, where the work spans multiple devices in parallel.<br />
<br />

== SailfishOS ==<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|150px]]<br />
<br />
Sailfish OS is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as Mer and including a closed source UI.<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
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].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from our CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card. Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Or when asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your pc/mac<br />
<br />
Or download the .img from https://gitlab.com/as400l/pp-sailfishos-images<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
'''What works, what does not work'''<br />
<br />
NB The first run sometimes stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it starts from setting the security pin.<br />
The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot. When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
<br />
If you're not familiar with SFOS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great but isn't immediately obvious. If you are familiar with SF you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left. There is a limited selection of apps available from the Jolla store, the vast majority are hosted on openrepos.net. The Storeman app for openrepos is now preinstalled, and also Webcat browser as the built in browser is not working at the moment.<br />

'''Notes'''<br />
<br />
OTA is supported: <code>zypper refresh && zypper update</code> as root (<code>devel-su</code> to get root access). Things that need reflash are bootloader specific at the moment. If improvements like crust or changes of partition layout are added then you need to reflash.<br />

= Factory Test OS =<br />
On the Braveheart model there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC. The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later. Since the 20200501 version it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests. Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just copy it to microSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

'''Note:'''This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.<br />

<br />
# Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from 252 MB to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like rsync -ar).<br />
# Edit /etc/fstab to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/<br />
# Follow the README instructions, which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />

<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from our CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card. '''Note:''' The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />

<br />
* ''' What works, what does not work '''<br />
NB The first run sometimes stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it starts from setting the security pin.<br />
The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot. When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
<br />
May 4th 2020: 3.3.0.16 release. Nextcloud integration.<br />
<br />
Sept 17. Calls work.....sort of. Volunteer troubleshooters required. 4G works. Nextcloud sync works. Camera still WIP.<br />
<br />
October 10. The most recent build still has call problems. The battery indicator stays at value on boot and the battery discharges very quickly. Apart from all that SFOS is still the snappiest most responsive UI, with none of the scaling and lagging problems that make phosh such a drag.<br />
<br />
October 20. New build improves battery indicator but it's still erratic. Calls still problematic. No camera.<br />
<br />
If you're not familiar with SFOS pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great but isn't immediately obvious. If you are familiar with SF you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left. There is a limited selection of apps available from the Jolla store, the vast majority are hosted on openrepos.net. The Storeman app for openrepos is now preinstalled, and also Webcat browser as the built in browser is not working at the moment.<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

= Factory Test OS =<br />
On the BraveHeart model there was a pmOS based basic factory test OS pre-installed on the eMMC. Martijn Braam from pmOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably.<br />
<br />
Since the 20200501 version it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just copy it to mSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the pmOS distribution.<br />

'''Warning:''' Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable. This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from PINE64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.<br />
<br />
If you would like to see specific commands for how to complete these steps, see https://github.com/nikhiljha/pp-fedora-sdsetup (an example for Fedora) or https://xnux.eu/howtos/install-arch-linux-arm.html (an example for Arch Linux).<br />
<br />
# Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from 252 MB to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like rsync -ar).<br />
# Edit /etc/fstab to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/ (you probably want 5.6 or later).<br />
# Follow the README instructions, which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />

# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />

May 4th 2020: 3.3.0.16 release. Nextcloud integration.<br />
<br />
Sept 17. Calls work.....sort of. Volunteer troubleshooters required. 4G works. Nextcloud sync works. Camera still WIP.<br />
<br />
October 10. The most recent build still has call problems. The battery indicator stays at value on boot and the battery discharges very quickly. Apart from all that SFOS is still the snappiest most responsive UI, with none of the scaling and lagging problems that make phosh such a drag.<br />
October 20. New build improves battery indicator but it's still erratic. Calls still problematic. No camera.<br />
<br />
If you're not familiar with SFOS pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great but isn't immediately obvious. If you are familiar with SF you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left. There is a limited selection of apps available from the Jolla store, the vast majority are hosted on openrepos.net. The Storeman app for openrepos is now preinstalled, and also Webcat browser as the built in browser is not working at the moment.<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

= Factory Test OS =<br />
On the BraveHeart model there was a pmOS based basic factory test OS pre-installed on the eMMC. Martijn Braam from pmOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably.<br />
<br />
Since the 20200501 version it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just copy it to mSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the pmOS distribution.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
'''Warning:''' Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable. This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from PINE64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.<br />
<br />
If you would like to see specific commands for how to complete these steps, see https://github.com/nikhiljha/pp-fedora-sdsetup (an example for Fedora) or https://xnux.eu/howtos/install-arch-linux-arm.html (an example for Arch Linux).<br />
<br />
# Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from 252 MB to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like rsync -ar).<br />
# Edit /etc/fstab to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/ (you probably want 5.6 or later).<br />
# Follow the README instructions, which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

= Factory Test OS =<br />
On the BraveHeart model there was a pmOS based basic factory test OS pre-installed on the eMMC. Martijn Braam from pmOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably.<br />
<br />
Since the 20200501 version it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just copy it to mSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the pmOS distribution.<br />

'''Warning:''' Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable. This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from PINE64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.<br />

If you would like to see specific commands for how to complete these steps, see https://github.com/nikhiljha/pp-fedora-sdsetup (an example for Fedora) or https://xnux.eu/howtos/install-arch-linux-arm.html (an example for Arch Linux).<br />
<br />
# Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from 252 MB to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like rsync -ar).<br />
# Edit /etc/fstab to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/ (you probably want 5.6 or later).<br />
# Follow the README instructions, which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />

May 4th 2020: The SFOS image is now the latest 3.3.0.16 release. This release of SF has Nextcloud integration.<br />
<br />
Sept 17. Calls work.....sort of. Volunteer troubleshooters required. 4G works. Nextcloud sync works. Camera still WIP.<br />
<br />
If you're not familiar with SFOS pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great but isn't immediately obvious. If you are familiar with SF you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left. There is a limited selection of apps available from the Jolla store, the vast majority are hosted on openrepos.net. The Storeman app for openrepos is now preinstalled, and also Webcat browser as the built in browser is not working at the moment.<br />

<!--http://files.pine64.org/sw/pine64_installer/json/maemo_leste.png--><br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

= Factory Test OS =<br />
On the BraveHeart model there was a pmOS based basic factory test OS pre-installed on the eMMC. Martijn Braam from pmOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably.<br />
<br />
Since the 20200501 version it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just copy it to mSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the pmOS distribution.<br />

# Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from 252 MB to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like rsync -ar).<br />
# Edit /etc/fstab to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/ (you probably want 5.6 or later).<br />

* ''' How to contribute and report defects '''<br />
It is recommended that you log your bug reports in [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues the project's issue tracker]. As a general rule, issues with third-party apps (even the default ones) should be reported upstream. A Mobian issue would be related to getting the hardware to work on the PinePhone, but if unsure where the issue should be reported just open a ticket or ask. Feel free to pick an open issue to work on, or send a merge request on [https://gitlab.com/mobian1 Gitlab].<br />

== SailfishOS ==<br />
<!--http://files.pine64.org/sw/pine64_installer/json/sailfishos.png--><br />
<br />
Sailfish OS is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as Mer and including a closed source UI.<br />
<br />
* ''' Download location '''<br />
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].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from our CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card. '''Note:''' The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />

* ''' What works, what does not work '''<br />
NB The first run always stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it starts from setting the security pin.<br />
The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted.<br />
<br />
May 4th 2020: The SFOS image is now the latest 3.3.0.16 release. This release of SF has Nextcloud integration.<br />
<br />
Sept 17. Calls work.....sort of. Volunteer troubleshooters required. 4G works. Nextcloud sync works. Camera still WIP.<br />
<br />
If you're not familiar with SFOS pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great but isn't immediately obvious. If you are familiar with SF you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left. There is a limited selection of apps available from the Jolla store, the vast majority are hosted on openrepos.net. The Storeman app for openrepos is now preinstalled, and also Webcat browser as the built in browser is not working at the moment.<br />

* ''' Notes '''<br />
OTA is supported: <code>zypper refresh && zypper update</code> as root (<code>devel-su</code> to get root access). Things that need reflash are bootloader specific at the moment. If improvements like crust or changes of partition layout are added then you need to reflash.<br />

<!--http://files.pine64.org/sw/pine64_installer/json/maemo_leste.png--><br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

= Factory Test OS =<br />
On the BraveHeart model there was a pmOS based basic factory test OS pre-installed on the eMMC. Martijn Braam from pmOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably.<br />
<br />
Since the 20200501 version it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just copy it to mSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the pmOS distribution.<br />

'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from PINE64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.<br />

# Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from 252 MB to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like rsync -ar).<br />
# Edit /etc/fstab to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/ (you probably want 5.6 or later).<br />

It is recommended that you log your bug reports in [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues the project's issue tracker]. As a general rule, issues with third-party apps (even the default ones) should be reported upstream. A Mobian issue would be related to getting the hardware to work on the PinePhone, but if unsure where the issue should be reported just open a ticket or ask. Feel free to pick an open issue to work on, or send a merge request on [https://gitlab.com/mobian1 Gitlab].<br />

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].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from our CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card. '''Note:''' The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />

May 4th 2020: The SFOS image is now the latest 3.3.0.16 release. This release of SF has Nextcloud integration.<br />
<br />
Sept 17. Calls work.....sort of. Volunteer troubleshooters required. 4G works. Nextcloud sync works. Camera still WIP.<br />
<br />
If you're not familiar with SFOS pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great but isn't immediately obvious. If you are familiar with SF you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left. There is a limited selection of apps available from the Jolla store, the vast majority are hosted on openrepos.net. The Storeman app for openrepos is now preinstalled, and also Webcat browser as the built in browser is not working at the moment.<br />

<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

Since the 20200501 version it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just copy it to mSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the pmOS distribution.<br />

'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from PINE64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.<br />

<br />
# Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from 252 MB to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like rsync -ar).<br />
# Edit /etc/fstab to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/ (you probably want 5.6 or later).<br />
# Follow the README instructions, which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />

# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />

<br />
Sept 17. Calls work.....sort of. Volunteer troubleshooters required. 4G works. Nextcloud sync works. Camera still WIP.<br />
<br />
If you're not familiar with SFOS pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great but isn't immediately obvious. If you are familiar with SF you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left. There is a limited selection of apps available from the Jolla store, the vast majority are hosted on openrepos.net. The Storeman app for openrepos is now preinstalled, and also Webcat browser as the built in browser is not working at the moment.<br />

<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

= Factory Test OS =<br />
On the BraveHeart model there was a pmOS based basic factory test OS pre-installed on the eMMC. Martijn Braam from pmOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably.<br />
<br />
Since the 20200501 version it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just copy it to mSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the pmOS distribution.<br />

# Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from 252 MB to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like rsync -ar).<br />
# Edit /etc/fstab to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/ (you probably want 5.6 or later).<br />

<div>This page contains a list of all available releases for the PinePhone as well as links to further resources.<br />
<br />
See [[PinePhone Installation Instructions]] on how to install the operating systems.<br />
<br />
Note: Some releases may 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.<br />
<br />
= Software Releases =<br />
This is a list of OSes that specifically support the PinePhone, but as support is included in Mainline Linux, in principle any ARM Linux OS can be used, if possible required patches are included.<br />
<br />

[[File:PostmarketOS-logo.png|100px]]<br />
<br />
postmarketOS is a preconfigured version of [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] for mobile devices that offers a choice of several desktop environments including Plasma Mobile and Phosh. <br />

* ''' How to contribute and report defects '''<br />
It is recommended that you log your bug reports in [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues the project's issue tracker]. As a general rule, issues with third-party apps (even the default ones) should be reported upstream. A Mobian issue would be related to getting the hardware to work on the PinePhone, but if unsure where the issue should be reported just open a ticket or ask. Feel free to pick an open issue to work on, or send a merge request on [https://gitlab.com/mobian1 Gitlab].<br />

== SailfishOS ==<br />
<!--http://files.pine64.org/sw/pine64_installer/json/sailfishos.png--><br />
<br />
Sailfish OS is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as Mer and including a closed source UI.<br />
<br />
* ''' Download location '''<br />
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].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from our CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card. '''Note:''' The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />

<br />
* ''' What works, what does not work '''<br />
May 4th 2020: The SFOS image is now the latest 3.3.0.16 release. This has resolved many problems (for example MTP file transfer now works) but there are several glitches, the most serious being very intermittent wifi. Random hissing noise for about 10 seconds. This release of SF has Nextcloud integration.<br />
<br />
May 24th 2020: Voice calls now work but not available in public builds yet. If you have a Jolla registration a minor bug means you have to submit the request twice. WiFi still intermittent. The battery indicator previously only showed level at boot, now improved but far from reliable.<br />
<br />
If you're not familiar with SFOS pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great but isn't immediately obvious. If you are familiar with SF you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left. There is a limited selection of apps available from the Jolla store, the vast majority are hosted on openrepos.net. The Storeman app for openrepos is now preinstalled, and also Webcat browser as the built in browser is not working at the moment.<br />

<br />
* ''' Notes '''<br />
OTA is supported: <code>zypper refresh && zypper update</code> as root (<code>devel-su</code> to get root access). Things that need reflash are bootloader specific at the moment. If improvements like crust or changes of partition layout are added then you need to reflash.<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
<!--http://files.pine64.org/sw/pine64_installer/json/maemo_leste.png--><br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
The new version Maemo 7 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK]. The current version is Devuan Ascii (Debian Stretch) and they are working on an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) as well as simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian. In addition to the main repository, they [https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-repositories-and-community-packages.html announced] a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository]. To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's buildd]). Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

On the BraveHeart model there was a pmOS based basic factory test OS pre-installed on the eMMC. Martijn Braam from pmOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably.<br />
<br />
Since the 20200501 version it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just copy it to mSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the pmOS distribution.<br />

# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/ (you probably want 5.6 or later).<br />
