PinePhone

From PINE64

Jump to: navigation, search

The PinePhone is a smartphone created by Pine64, capable of running mainline

Linux and supported by many partner projects. The "BraveHeart" edition was the

first publicly-available version of the phone, though it came without a fully

functional OS (factory test image) and was geared specifically towards tinkerers

and hackers. People looking for a stable consumer-grade phone should wait for

the final release, which is expected to occur in March 2020 and will be

available for at least five years.

The PinePhone has 6 "pogo pins" on the back allowing for custom hardware extensions such as wireless charging or an IR blaster. The pogo pins provide access to an interrupt line, power input to charge the battery, 3.3v power source, and an I2C interface. A step/stl/stp (3D model) file for the back cover is freely available for creating custom cases that interface with the pogo pins.

The PinePhone features six switches that can be used to configure its hardware. They are numbered 1-6, with switch 1 located nearest to the modem. Their on position is toward the top of the phone. Photo of Brave Heart switches from OSAKANA TARO on Twitter 1. Modem: On enables 2G/3G/4G communication and GNSS hardware, off disables. 2. WiFi/BT: On enables Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication hardware, off disables. 3. Microphone: On enables audio input from on-board microphones (not 3.5mm jack), off disables.

The supplied battery is meant to be compatible with Samsung part number EBBJ700BBC / BBE / CBE from the 2015 J7 phone. There is a report that the EBBJ700CBE isn't quite the same size, causing the back not to fit properly. The battery terminals, in order from nearest the edge to nearest the middle, are: 1. 2. 3. 4. +ve thermistor -ve not connected The battery includes a protection circuit that isolates it in a number of fault conditions, including if it is discharged too far.

Photo of Brave Heart battery sticker from OSAKANA TARO on Twitter There has been a report on the forum that this sticker can bend the pins that make connection between the battery and the phone: please check your setup carefully after removing the sticker. Note: the EG25 modem and RTL8723CS wifi/bluetooth do not work without battery power, even if you are supplying enough power to the Pinephone with USB-C. Modem and Carrier Support There is a document about using the modem by user megi here.

It is likely that there will be a few frequencies that your carrier uses which are not supported by the PinePhone. Not all of the carrier's frequencies need to be supported by the PinePhone for it to work - as long as most of them are supported, you will ill still get good coverage. Factory Test Requirements Most of the self tests should just work, but a couple of them will fail unless certain requirements are met.
