=== Thermal Safety ===
https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=0&hideredirects=1


With the Allwinner A64 being an older generation SoC with a large 40nm chip, the phone produces quite some heat under medium or higher use and especially also during charging or when using USB accessories, like a docking station. Measurements to prevent damage to the phone and to its surroundings need to be taken by the user. This includes especially a proper handling of the phone: do not charge the phone in a way where heat builds up around the phone without being able to escape. Especially don't charge your phone under a pillow, blankets, in pockets or bags. Charging the phone produces heat and charging the phone in a way, where the excessive heat can't dispose around the phone poses an immediate fire risk.

The user might notice that the phone gets warm under usage, compared to phones with more up-to-date hardware. Under normal circumstances these temperatures don't pose a risk while being in the levels within the safe operating temperatures (which lay far beyond the point where components can be too hot to touch). Higher temperatures might especially be experienced on the top side of the screen and on the inside of the phone at the RF shield of the modem. The higher temperature of the RF shield of the modem is commonly caused by the SoC on the opposite side of the mainboard, the RF shield of the modem is used to dispere heat of the SoC. In newer mainboard revisions starting from 1.2a there are also thermal pads on the back cover and between the SoC's RF shield and the screen, dispersing heat on the screen and on the back cover. In the past there has been safety issues regarding thermal safety functions, causing temperature reads to not properly work over an extended period of time, which was causing heat damage in some cases (see the documentation of that issue by the developer Megous [http://xnux.eu/log/#018 here] and [http://xnux.eu/log/#017 here]). While the developers are working hard to prevent such issues, they can't be excluded under all circumstances (see [[PinePhone#State_of_the_software|State of the software]]). The users are expected to monitor their phones' thermal safety at every point at this state of the software.
[[User:Fxc/export]]


The default settings to throttle the performance and tio shut down the phone might be set too high depending on the specific usage. Under GNU/Linux the phone's thermal management behavior can be modified via the Thermal Sysfs driver to achieve lower temperatures and preventing the screen and other components to potentially take damage, see [[PinePhone Thermal Tweaks]] for the details.

== ChatGPT: Flashing with dd ==
Flashing a disk image to a microSD card using the dd command involves writing the disk image file to the microSD card. This process is performed through the terminal on Linux or macOS. Here are the steps to flash a disk image to a microSD card using <code>dd</code>:
 
1. Determine the device name of the microSD card: On Linux or macOS, you can use the <code>lsblk</code> or <code>diskutil list</code> command to find the name of the microSD card (e.g., ''/dev/sdb''). Make sure to properly identify the microSD card, as using the wrong device name can result in data loss.
 
2. Unmount the microSD card: If the microSD card is already mounted, you need to unmount it before flashing the disk image. On Linux, you can use the <code>umount</code> command. On macOS, you can use the <code>diskutil unmount</code> command.
 
3. On Linux or macOS, open a terminal window.
 
4. Flash the disk image to the microSD card: Use the following command to flash the disk image to the microSD card:
 
sudo dd if='''path_to_disk_image.img''' of='''/dev/sdX''' bs=4M conv=fsync
 
* Replace '''path_to_disk_image.img''' with the path to the disk image file.
* Replace '''/dev/sdX''' with the device name of the microSD card you determined in step 1.
 
5. Wait for the process to complete: The ''dd'' command will not provide any output until it has completed the process. This may take several minutes, depending on the size of the disk image and the speed of your computer and microSD card.
 
6. Eject the microSD card: Once the ''dd'' command has completed, eject the microSD card. On Linux, you can use the <code>eject</code> command. On macOS, you can use the <code>diskutil eject</code> command.
 
Note: Before flashing the disk image, make sure to backup any important data on the microSD card, as this process will erase all existing data on the card.
 
== ChatGPT: Flashing with Etcher ==
Here are the steps to flash a disk image to a microSD card:
 
# Download and install a disk image writing tool: A commonly used tool for this purpose is Etcher, which is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
# Insert the microSD card into your computer: Make sure that you have an SD card reader, or an adapter to connect the microSD card to your computer.
# Open the disk image writing tool: Launch Etcher and select the disk image file you want to flash to the microSD card.
# Select the target device: In Etcher, select the microSD card from the list of available drives.
# Start the flashing process: Click the "Flash" button to start the process of writing the disk image to the microSD card. This process may take a few minutes, depending on the size of the disk image and the speed of your computer.
# Verify the flash: After the flash is complete, Etcher will verify the integrity of the image to make sure it was written correctly.
# Eject the microSD card: Once the flash is complete and verified, safely eject the microSD card from your computer. You can now use the microSD card with the device it was intended for.
 
Note: Before flashing the disk image, make sure to backup any important data on the microSD card, as this process will erase all existing data on the card.
