PP Pro support

[fbmoose48]

Can this be updated to include PinePhone Pro as an option?

[Danct12]

Yes. So far the squash rootfs needs to be built, and the partition table needs to be changed too.

I'm also interested in PPP support. It would be also nice to have keyboard-compatible DEs available

Can https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/arch-pine64-build build the squash rootfs? What needs to be changed regarding partition table?

[Danct12]

Yes, there is an option --osk-sdl which does it. There's nothing much need to be changed in this script except don't use the first 32MB on Rockchip platform.

I attempted to modify the script, but it does not appear to be working. I just used the pinephone-pro sqfs from DOWNLOAD_SERVER.

1. I added the option to set DEVICE to pinephone-pro

select OPTION in "PinePhone" "PinePhone Pro" "PineTab"; do
    case $OPTION in
        "PinePhone" ) DEVICE="pinephone"; break;;
        "PinePhone Pro" ) DEVICE="pinephone-pro"; break;;
        "PineTab" ) DEVICE="pinetab"; break;;
    esac
done

2. I changed the partitions if using pinephone-pro so that the boot partition starts at 32MB, otherwise it starts at 0%

sudo parted -a optimal ${DISK_IMAGE} mklabel msdos --script
if [ $DEVICE == "pinephone-pro" ]; then
  sudo parted -a optimal ${DISK_IMAGE} mkpart primary fat32 32MB 256MB --script
else 
  sudo parted -a optimal ${DISK_IMAGE} mkpart primary fat32 '0%' 256MB --script
fi
sudo parted -a optimal ${DISK_IMAGE} mkpart primary ext4 256MB 100% --script
sudo parted ${DISK_IMAGE} set 1 boot on --script

3. Finally, I changed the dd commands if using pinephone-pro

if [ $DEVICE == "pinephone-pro" ]; then
  sudo dd if=${TMPMOUNT}/boot/idbloader.img of=${DISK_IMAGE} seek=64 conv=notrunc,fsync
  sudo dd if=${TMPMOUNT}/boot/u-boot.itb of=${DISK_IMAGE} seek=16384 conv=notrunc,fsync
else 
  sudo dd if=${TMPMOUNT}/boot/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl-${DEVICE}-552.bin of=${DISK_IMAGE} bs=8k seek=1
fi

I get no errors when flashing an SD card with these changes to the script. When I try to start the phone, it hangs on the splash screen and does not go further.

Am I on the right track here?

I get the following error when trying to boot after installing with this modified script.

cdn-dp fec00000.dp: Direct firmware load for rockchip/dptx.bin failed with error -2

I'm not sure what needs to be modified to make this script work.

I've also tried changing the partitions based on sectors, but I get the same result.

sudo parted -a optimal ${DISK_IMAGE} mklabel msdos --script
if [ $DEVICE == "pinephone-pro" ]; then
  sudo parted -a optimal ${DISK_IMAGE} mkpart primary fat32 65536s 589823s --script
  sudo parted -a optimal ${DISK_IMAGE} mkpart primary ext4 589824s 100% --script
else 
  sudo parted -a optimal ${DISK_IMAGE} mkpart primary fat32 '0%' 256MB --script
  sudo parted -a optimal ${DISK_IMAGE} mkpart primary ext4 256MB 100% --script
fi
sudo parted ${DISK_IMAGE} set 1 boot on --script
