First, we will be compiling on a host gentoo system. To do this, first install
|
|
|
|
|
crossdev and the needed toolchain (See [[cross_toolchain]])

The pinephone pro uses a Mali T860 quadcore CPU, and therefore is run using the
|
|
|
|
|
lima drivers. In the phones make.conf, be sure to add
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
|
|
|
#/etc/portage/make.conf (chroot in phone)

In your global use, be sure to add

{{{

This ensures that we will only compile programs using OpenGL ES, or OpenGL for
|
|
|
|
|
embedded systems.

|
|
=== Phone not booting due to fully drained battery ===
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Battery voltage will be ~2.4V when dead in my experience. To get the phone to
|
|
|
|
|
boot
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) Remove SDcard
|
|
|
|
|
2) Remove battery, serial, and usb cables
|
|
|
|
|
3) Reinstert the battery
|
|
|
|
|
4) Hold down the RESET button
|
|
|
|
|
5) While holding the button down, connect the USB port to a computer
|
|
|
|
|
6) let go of the button
|
|
|
|
|
7) in `lsusb` you should see `2207:330c Rockship electrions`
