My PinePhone board tests

I have several PinePhones, from the first BraveHeart release to the last Mobian Community Edition. I also upgraded the BH and Ubports 2GB boards to the 1.2b 3GB version. A total of 9 PCB's. 

After experiencing the time jump problem I tested all the boards for stability.

There are two tests, compiling and memtester.

The first is compiling a project repeatedly for 24 hours. An endless loop of make && make clean.

The second test is memtester. I ran it for 20 passes for either 1.6GB or 2.6GB. 

    sudo memtester 1600m 20

I have a dedicated microSD card for each test. The compiler test is running Manjaro Phosh. memtester is running Arch Linux ARM barebones, which leaves more RAM available for testing.

Both Manjaro Phosh and Arch Linux ARM come with multiple u-boot bootloaders that let you change the RAM interface speed. I tested at the highest 624MHz and worked down to slower speeds if there were errors.

The results:

3 of the boards time travel. This seems to be a side effect of the RAM speed. For the affected boards the higher the RAM speed the more often the time jumps.

The Ubports upgrade board can not complete a boot cycle at 624MHz. It will time travel at 492MHz when the CPU is loaded.

The Postmarket OS board is stable at 492MHz, with just an occasional rcu error.

The Mobian 2GB board is mostly stable at 492MHz. It rarely time travels.

The rest of the boards are stable at 624MHz. I ran one for a full week compiling continuously.

veracrypt

I installed veracrypt on some of my PinePhones. There are no pre-compiled binaries for aarch64. Installation is from source. The process is simple and mostly follows the instructions on git . This has been tested on Manjaro Phosh and Arm Arch Linux. I compiled it as a cli only application. If you omit the NOGUI=1 it will compile the version with both cli/gui. It takes much longer to compile and the interface is not optimized for a mobile device. Install the required packages sudo pacman -S fuse2 yasm cppunit pkg-config Download the source for wxWidgets . The current stable is v3.0.5. wget https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.0.5/wxWidgets-3.0.5.tar.bz2 Extract and move to /usr/src tar -xf wxWidgets-3.0.5.tar.bz2 sudo mv wxWidgets-3.0.5 /usr/src/ Download the current stable veracrypt source wget https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/archive/refs/tags/VeraCrypt_1.24-Update7.tar.gz Extract the files and change to the src directory tar -xf VeraCrypt_1.24-Update7.t...

Franken-Phone

I decided to take the worst performing PinePhone PCB and turn it into a hardware test bed. This is the 3GB 1.2b upgrade board that fails my compiler and memtester tests . It will time jump even with the RAM running at 492MHz. It is usable. With the serial adapter you can login to the serial console without an attached screen. Once WiFi/SSH is configured you can do everything remotely. I have also used wayvnc to remotely connect to the graphical desktop. I bought a large flat aluminum heatsink from Amazon to use as a base. I cut up a sheet of thermal pad material (sold for use with 3d printer glass hot beds). The pad is sticky and holds the PCB and battery to the heatsink. The battery is not the correct type/size for a PinePhone battery. It is an old battery I found in a drawer that has the same pinout, works fine. The micro USB breakout board has the VBUS and Ground soldered directly to the pogo pin pads. The loose orange wire at the bottom is soldered to a tiny pad next to the ke...
