PinePhone Pro was announced last week. AMA.

1. pineeye_for_pinephone

   1 1 16 0.0

   Thermal imaging board aimed to be used with the PinePhone.

   

   Good question. I am not sure about a killer app, but killer features - for sure. The ability to dock the phone via USB-C and use it as a desktop; attach the keyboard add-on and have your own PDA-type device with LTE; hacking additional functionality into the phone via the pogo pins (example); hardware privacy switches; or simply using taking 2-3 easily sourcable spare batteries with you on a mountain trek... I think there are a few things the PinePhone / PinePhone Pro can do that very few devices in this form factor can.

3. coreboot

   2 94 2,390 9.9 C

   Read-only mirror of https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot.git. Synced every hour. We don't handle Pull Requests.

   

   The RK3399 LPDDR4 training code is open-source (albeit rather impenetrable to read) - implementations exist in coreboot, u-boot, and levinboot, so closed source firmware isn't required. I'm afraid I don't know answers to the other questions.

4. u-boot

   3 21 4,544 10.0 C

   "Das U-Boot" Source Tree

6. Jumpdrive

   5 25 493 0.0 Makefile

   Flash/Rescue SD Card image for PinePhone and PineTab. This is NOT a bootloader

   

   Switching the OS is extremely easy. All it takes is putting in a microSD card imaged with the new system (or to flash the eMMC with a tool like Jumpdrive, once it gains the support for the Pro).

7. waydroid

   6 187 9,527 8.0 Python

   Waydroid uses a container-based approach to boot a full Android system on a regular GNU/Linux system like Ubuntu.

   

   The advantage of running standard Linux is that you can run basically any software you could on a Linux PC (barring architecture incompatibility). There's also potential privacy benefits, as there isn't the same philosophy of tracking your every action like there is on Android. And if you still need Android apps, there's stuff like Waydroid to help.

8. glodroid_manifest

   7 11 482 2.4 Makefile

   Android port that aims to bring both user- and developer-friendly experience in using AOSP with a set of single-board computers (SBC), phones and other devices.

   

   Not sure if you know this but there is an AOSP build for the OG PinePhone running mainline Linux with patches.

9. Stream

   getstream.io featured

   Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.

   

10. cryptsetup-nuke

    8 2 15 0.0

    A cryptsetup patch which adds the option to nuke all keyslots given a certain passphrase for Ubuntu

    

    Easily. You can use https://github.com/roema/cryptsetup-nuke to do it at boot time, you can use an evil-maid tool to detect and wipe luks at init-time if the boot partition was tampered with, and just cryptsetup erase /dev/...; echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger to wipe the luks header and immediately force a hard reboot
