Challenges Where is the PinePhone 2? To conclude Do you have something to share? Contact Community PineStore Housekeeping Hey everyone! So long no talk. It's been a long time since a proper community update, but rest assured a "full size update" update is coming sometime in April (Charlie the Pinecorn returns!). We are still planning to migrate to Codeberg for primary git hosting and committing to the move from mediawiki to our documentation site created by community member Funeral. We hope to make this happen sometime this year. And a message to the team over at Genode, yes I did read your book :) - Caffeine What happened at FOSDEM 2026 FOSDEM 2026 was a very productive meetup for members of the PINE64 Community, aside from the occasional shenanigans. We had the opportunity to work on the PineVoice (formally PineVox) and PineTime Pro in person which helped push forward bring-up. There were additional discussions on potential new products and the effect of the DRAM chip shortage. Demos PineNote The PineNote was shown off at FOSDEM with a few demos featuring hrdl's Arch image and a pre-release image of QuillOS using hrdl's kernel tree. With a massive thanks to Tom.K, Phantomas and hrdl for staying around and helping demo with his PineNote. Some demos included smoothly playing videos, playing doom (you had to be there to believe it!) along with its capabilities as an actual ebook reader. PineTab 2 Danct12 put together an image for FOSDEM with camera and support for h264 video decoding. The demo also included a copy of big buck bunny and a razor1911 demo. DRAM shortage impact Currently the DRAM shortage will impact the production of devices like the Pinetab2, PineNote and PinePhone.

In this update we announce a new community manager, updates to the PineTab2 and PineNote, FreeBSD on the PinePhone Pro, a guide on upstreaming PinePhone Pro patches and a small bit for you Pinecil users. PinePhone Pro discontinuation Recently PineStore has also discontinued the PinePhone Pro which was talked about in the last recent blog post. TLDR, sales were low which lead to the discontinuation of the device. Spare parts will be available for purchase for up to two years depending on if they sell well. If you still want a PinePhone Pro, refurbished ones will be put up for sale on the PineStore around the end of the month, similar to how it worked for the PineBook Pro. For more details, people can find it at the link below. https://pine64.org/2025/08/14/august_2025_short_update/ New community manager Authors: Caffeine Today I would like to formally announce that I have stepped up to take the roll as the community manager. This decision was made a few months ago as life has become a lot busier for Gamiee. We would like to thank him for the work he has done maintaining our community cluster and the countless hours spent on helping the community. Gamiee will continue maintaining the cluster for the foreseeable future. About me Hello everyone, my name is Camden, but you may also know me by my online alias CarbonatedCaffeine. I am a computing student from New Zealand (that country next to Australia) and I have been an active part of the Pine64 communit ## A Quick Community Update on PinePhone Pro and What's Next DevFeed: [A Quick Community Update on PinePhone Pro and What's Next]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2025-08-14T00:00:00Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [Community blog on PINE64]() Topics: [Pinephone-Pro](), [Pinephone](), [RISC-V](), [Artificial Intelligence]() Tags: [ai](), [community-update](), [pinephone-pro](), [risc-v](), [update]() ### AI overview Pine64 announces that the PinePhone Pro is discontinued because sales were insufficient to sustain production. Spare parts may remain available for up to two years depending on demand, while the original PinePhone is expected to continue for about two more years. A small batch of refurbished PinePhone Pros is also planned. ### Source excerpt Hey everyone! As many have noticed, the PinePhone Pro is currently out ot stock on the Pine Store. Unfortunately we have to deliver you the following news: the PinePhone Pro is officially discontinued. We were told it didn't sell well enough to keep production going. But the good news for current owners are that spare parts will still be made for up to two years, depending on demand. Meanwhile, the trusty PinePhone (A64) is still alive and kicking, and Pine Store plans to keep it rolling for about two more years. No new PinePhone (Yet), future with RISC-V Right now, we've got no insider info on a brand-new PinePhone, so don't expect any surprise announcements soon. Pine Store is steering its energy toward other projects (including RISC-V and a little bit of AI), which you've probably noticed with the Oz64, STAR64, StarPro64, and Alpha One launches. And one last thing: later this month there'll be a small batch of refurbished PinePhone Pros up for grabs -- your final shot at owning one of these little powerhouses. ## PINE64 January 2025 Update Covers PineVox Firmware, PineNote Software, and Community Projects DevFeed: [PINE64 January 2025 Update Covers PineVox Firmware, PineNote Software, and Community Projects]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2025-01-11T00:00:00Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [Community blog on PINE64]() Topics: [Software](), [Embedded Software Dev](), [Development](), [Home Assistant](), [lora](), [meshtastic](), [USB](), [Bluetooth LE](), [Wi-Fi](), [.NET Conf]() Tags: [2025](), [bluetooth-le](), [community-update](), [firmware](), [fosdem](), [home-assistant](), [infinitime](), [lora](), [meshtastic](), [news](), [pinebook-pro](), [pinenote](), [pinetime](), [pinevox](), [release](), [right](), [streaming](), [update](), [usb]() ### AI overview PINE64's January 2025 community update covers planned PineVox public release work, continued PineNote software improvements, developer devices, the second PineDio USB LoRa adapter project, FOSDEM attendance, and PineVox firmware progress. ### Source excerpt This month we report on some news concerning the PineVox, what the community have been up to with their PineNotes and the brand-new 1.15 InfiniTime update. We would like to wish our community a happy New Year and hope you all had a good end of 2024. But since it's now the beginning of 2025, we'd like to fill you in on what we have planned for the first part of the year. We plan to release the PineVox to the public thanks to Gamiee's recent progress and we plan to continue improving the software for the PineNote, thanks to Maximilian, Diederik and our testers in the community. We have some exciting devices coming as well, mentioned in previous community updates. The PineCam and StarPro64 have been sent to developers in our community, so we hope to report on these devices in the coming months. Gamiee has also been working with a group of our friends over at Meshtastic on an independent project which will become the second version of the PineDio USB LoRa adapter. We plan to talk more about the progress of that project more in the February update.

It also provides updates on other Pine64 projects and community activities. ### Source excerpt Welcome back to a new monthly Pine64 community update! This month we are announcing a couple of new products including a SBC and a successor to the PineCube. We have updates to share about the PineNote and the PineDio USB adapter this month along with a talk by one of our community members Dsimic. Table of contents PineCam Yuzuki Avaota-A1 PineNote Attention to all users who have ordered/received a PineNote For general users wanting to purchase a PineNote PineNote News PineTab-V BarCamp Talk About Pine64 and Ox64 Handout PineDio Community content Monthly community updates Want to contribute to the next community update? PineCam Authors: Lukasz, Caffeine The first new device we will be introducing this update is the PineCam! The PineCam is a successor to the PineCube IP camera, but with a much more polished design, better specifications and more features. While the PineCube didn't achieve the success the project had hoped for, we believe it wasn't due to a lack of interest in such hardware, but rather the way it was executed. We've gathered feedback, learned from what went wrong, and have gone back to the drawing board. This time, the PineStore have decided to take a different approach, using a System-on-Chip (SoC) already in our hardware lineup. The device includes more RAM (compared to the PineCube's 128MB), and utilizes a camera interface that "just works". The PineCam is based on the oz64 single board computer which is powered by the SG2000 system on a chip found in the new Oz64. The SOC includes two RISC-V cores (C906 @1Ghz + C906 @700Mhz) and one ARM core (Cortex-A53 @1Ghz). You can find more information on the specifications of the Oz64 and the SOC it's using here. The device features 512MB of RAM, providing just enough memory to run a full Linux-based OS such as MotionEyeOS, a popular surveillance camera operating system. Specific to the PineCam now, the device includes a 2MP camera module which is the same one found in the PineTab 2/-V (the GalaxyCore GC02M2 ## Pine64 September 2024 Community Update Covers RISC-V Hardware and Device Development DevFeed: [Pine64 September 2024 Community Update Covers RISC-V Hardware and Device Development]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2024-10-02T00:00:00Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [Community blog on PINE64]() Topics: [RISC-V](), [Hardware](), [Single Board Computer](), [Open Source](), [Pinephone](), [Pinephone-Pro]() Tags: [community-update](), [hardware](), [ironos](), [open-source](), [pinecil](), [pinenote](), [pinephone](), [pinephone-pro](), [pinetime](), [risc-v](), [single-board-computer]() ### AI overview Pine64's September 2024 community update reviews new hardware and device development, with particular attention to the RISC-V platform and the StarPro64. It also lists operating-system progress, product updates, community projects, and infrastructure news. ### Source excerpt Hello and welcome back to another Pine64 community update! The community has been hard at work behind the scenes with development of new hardware along with bringing back some previously manufactured products. Of course, we will also go over the current state of our devices as well. And just before you ask, yes it is October. Most of the work for this update was done last month. We'd also like to thank you for your patience, it's been difficult with a most of us having limited time to work on these updates. We will continue to write and release these updates as fast as we can and continue to become more consistent again like we used to be. Thanks!

Since 2021, several devices including the Pinecil -- PINE64's most popular hardware -- have adopted this architecture. While the Ox64 may have been the first Linux-capable single-board computer (SBC) technically, the first full-fledged PINE64 RISC-V SBC was the Star64, which laid the foundation for the PINETAB-V tablet introduced last year alongside its ARM sibling, the PineTab2.

In short, the people who usually wrote them became very busy. However, we have a new way to write and publish these updates, involving you: the community. Let's talk about it, and about so much more of what's been happening. This community update consists of contributions by Caffeine, CounterPillow, Funeral, gamiee, JF002, and mpreditor. N.B.

Let's get started! Why hasn't there been a community update for the past few months? Is PINE64 dead? As you may have noticed, there haven't been any community updates as of late, and we are sorry for the prolonged silence. This isn't because the community hasn't been busy, quite the opposite is true. Instead, the problem is that the usual community update authors are too busy with their daily jobs and other tasks around the community. Although thanks to some community members who have shown interest to participate, we are working on a new community update and we hope we will publish it soon! Pine Store now accepts payments in cryptocurrency. The community has consistently expressed interest in paying on the Pine Store with cryptocurrency, and despite several previous attempts to find a suitable crypto payment service, the process has proven challenging, leading to eventual failure. However, we are happy to announce that Pine Store now facilitates payments using USD Coin cryptocurrency via Coinbase! Talk to us at our upcoming community meetup in Warsaw! We always attempt to meet in person at least twice a year. For reasons that ought to be obvious to everyone, this wasn't possible these past few years, but now that travel is once again viable we're returning to a bi-annual meetup schedule. We always meet at FOSDEM in February followed by a meeting halfway through the calendar year. While FOSDEM primarily serves the function of interacting with the broader Linux community and members of other projects as well as product announcements, the second yearly meetup aims at evaluating the project's progress, identifying issues, and creating a roadmap for the coming months. This year we're holding the second meetup in Warsaw. TL, Ayufan, Lukasz, and I will be having lunch in Hala Gwardii on Sunday, August 20th at noon.

In this month's update we also cover PineNote development (I know many of you have been waiting for this) and discuss how software on the device has really taken off in recent months. Finally, CounterPillow - a key RK3566 community developer - sets the expectations for the PineTab2 with some real-life performance examples. Strap on your unicorn horns because there's much ground to cover this month - let's get to it.

This has largely been my fault as I was rather busy in January and following FOSDEM at the start of February I found myself occupied with things related to the EU store. I hope for things to go back to normal now; you can expect future community updates at the end of each month as per usual. Again, I apologise, mea culpa. I hope that this month's update and the news it brings will more than make up for the wait: the Nestflash section is absolutely packed this month, we're revealing PineTab2's pricing and SKU variants (both of which I'm sure you'll be pleased with), announcing that Star64 will be available in the next 6 weeks (or so) and report on all the work that has gone into PinePhone (Pros) development in the recent two months ... and much more Let's get to it.

SOQuartz is described as pin-compatible with the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 and suitable for existing CM4 baseboards and planned hostboards. ### Source excerpt Happy Halloween! As promised earlier this month, here is the follow-up to the October community update. Some of the topics I'll touch upon will be covered in more detail in November. I'll keep this one brief. Housekeeping PineTalk discussed the PinePhone Pro in last week's episode. At the time of writing, it is the most listened-to episode of our community-run podcast, and there is a reason for it - it is a very good episode. I encourage you to have a listen. Earlier this week we had a guest post about the creation of the Meet the PinePhone Pro announcement trailer. If you're interested in learning how the trailer was made, and which software was used during its production, then I invite you to have a read. Logistics issues in China and the USA have caused a significant increase in parcel delivery times. The USA is particularly affected by the situation. There is nothing we can do about it, but the reason I am bringing it up is due to the increase in support tickets requesting help in tracking down packages (and sporadic claims of packages being lost). All I can do is ask you for patience - it may take a long time, but in 99.9% of cases the parcel will eventually arrive at your doorstep. Lastly, our Discord is about to reach (or already reached) 9000 members, making it the biggest chat platform out of all protocols used by our community. I think this is quite the milestone and I am very happy to see many new faces actively engaging in discussions. I know Discord is frowned upon by some in the FOSS community, so before anyone complains - there are corresponding and bridged channels in Telegram, IRC, and Matrix available for those who wish to use a different platform. Full chat list here. SOQuartz The SOquartz module will be available for purchase in the Pine Store next week. I already covered the SOQuartz in-depth in the June update, so I encourage you to read that blog entry for more information. For those who do not know, the SOQuartz is a module that is pin-compat ## October Update: Introducing the PinePhone Pro DevFeed: [October Update: Introducing the PinePhone Pro]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2021-10-15T00:00:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [Community blog on PINE64]() Topics: [Pinephone-Pro](), [Pinephone](), [Pinenote](), [SOC](), [USB]() Tags: [announcement](), [community-update](), [experience](), [firmware](), [infinitime](), [news](), [pinenote](), [pinephone](), [pinephone-pro](), [pinetime](), [soc](), [usb]() ### AI overview PINE64's October 2021 community update introduces the PinePhone Pro and announces developer pre-orders for the PinePhone Pro and PineNote.

Today we're introducing the PinePhone Pro and announcing that both PinePhone Pro and PineNote pre-orders are now open to developers. I am well aware that this announcement will overshadow everything else that I may wish to report on, so I intentionally chose not to include other exciting news in this post. I will write a follow-up piece covering other topics later this month - stay tuned. But that's not all. All PineTime owners ought to read this month's update concerning InfiniTime. The firmware recently received updates which significantly improve the user experience and BLE connection stability.
