The Project "Don't be evil" - Phase 2 of PINE64 Smartphone "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. 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).

Errata

The single USB Type-C port defaults to "USB Host" (including when the device is off). The device will not charge when it is in USB Host mode.

The SOPINE's SPI NOR flash storage and the devkit's camera flash (heh) share the same GPIO pins. The flash storage may not be used.
