The Project Don't be evil is the phase two of PINE64's smartphone, the PinePhone Development Kit. Project Don't be evil is an actual smartphone developer kit for the PINE64 Smartphone dubbed "PinePhone". It is used in the early stages of development as a starting point for affiliated projects.

The PinePhone development has been broken down into three distinct phases:

  • First phase - Project Anakin
  • Second phase - purpose-built development kit code named "Don't be evil" and introduced at FOSDEM 2019
  • Lastly, the third phase which is the PinePhone itself - scheduled to be prototype released in Q3 2019 and BTO batch released with mobile OS parents in Q4 2019 (pending on software development).

Notes:

  • postmarketOS early alpha test build for microSD boot
  • for 8GB microSD cards and above
  • Suitable for PinePhone "Don't Be Evil" Dev Kit version 1.1 and version 1.2
  • There are two type of LCD panels. For long touch screen cable, please use the build with inverted wording.

Sailfish OS

The Sailfish OS image is build on Gitlab CI, the latest image can be installed using our flashing script written in Bash.

The script downloads the image and bootloader from our CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.

Instructions:

  1. Download the flashing script
  2. Insert a microSD card in your device
  3. Make the script executable: chmod +x flash-it.sh
  4. Execute it: ./flash-it.sh
  5. Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).

Notes:

  • The script will format and flash the SD card, make sure that you don't have any important data on the SD card!
