Sailfish OS

Sailfish OS is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as Mer, and a closed source UI based on Lipstick.

PinePhone Wiki Page on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.
Linux kernel config repo
Sailfish OS repo

Download

Flashing script

The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the flashing script.

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!

Instructions:

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

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.

username/password

Set PIN on initialization.

Notes

Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.
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.
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.

What works, what does not work

See the Hardware Support section on the Mer Wiki's PinePhone Page.

There is a limited selection of apps available from the Jolla store, the vast majority are hosted on openrepos.net. If the Storeman app for openrepos is not preinstalled, download the RPM and click to install.

How to contribute and report defects

See the documentation wiki at the github project for help and links.

See the Installation section on the Mer Wiki's PinePhone Page for compile, build and development.

Git repo links are at the top of this OS section. other repos that may be helpful:

GitHub project page
the repo of the flash-it.sh flashing script
Mer Open Build Service page (Mer is being assimilated into Sailfish OS and OBS is shutting down, also see OpenStack is replacing OBS with another build system based on Jenkins, if it's related, even OBS come back under Sailfish OS, it will be different.)

See the Sailfish OS wiki for links to their forum, as well as info required when reporting an issue. See the Sailfish OS wiki main page for options to contribute to Sailfish OS.

Notes

OTA is supported: zypper refresh && zypper update as root (devel-su 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.

SkiffOS

Minimal in-memory cross-compiled OS optimized for hosting multiple in parallel Docker containers. Provides the reliability of firmware with the ease-of-use of package managers.

Download

The repository and instructions can be found here.

Notes

Upgrade over-the-air via a simple rsync script, or copying 3 files.

Uses the Buildroot cross-compilation tool for support for all Pine64 boards.

Use configuration packages to configure distro:

Package	Distro
core/pinephone_neon	KDE Neon via Ubuntu repositories
core/pinephone_nixos	Nixos Mobile
core/pinephone_gentoo	Gentoo with Link-time Optimization & KDE Mobile or Phosh

Apache NuttX RTOS on PINE64 PinePhone

Sculpt Operating System (Genode OS Framework)

Sculpt OS since version 23.04 supports PinePhone. Ready-to-use system image available on the download page.

Tools

There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.

JumpDrive

JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive.

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.

Tow-Boot

Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.

See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image. Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.

Hardware test build

Warning: The factorytest image for hardware testing appears to be no longer maintained.

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 flash it to microSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.

Note: The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.

Installing other ARM64 distributions

Other ARM64 distributions might be installed as well, however this requires some tinkering and may not work well.

Note: 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.

General steps:

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.
Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.
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 rsync -ar).
Edit /etc/fstab to match your partitions.
Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the README, which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.

If you would like to see examples or specific commands for how to complete these steps, see:

an example for Fedora, current unofficial [#Fedora] release
an example for Arch Linux by megi

-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.
+==== Download ====
+There is a guided installer by the [https://mobile.nixos.org/devices/pine64-pinephone.html Mobile NixOS] project available. An installer image that can be flashed to a sdcard can be downloaded from the [https://hydra.nixos.org/job/mobile-nixos/unstable/installer.pine64-pinephone Hydra build instance].
-Support for all of the hardware will be coming, this project is a breadth-first work, where the work spans multiple devices in parallel.
+Users that want to build a local image, are expected to follow the instructions in the [https://mobile.nixos.org/getting-started.html Getting Started page],
+and [https://mobile.nixos.org/devices/pine64-pinephone.html Project's device page].
