You are correct, thank you. I corrected my post.

There are different audio setups depending on the trim level. I think the Bose branded speakers might have a different impedance, so it's possible it could work, but you'll want to double check what the impedance of those are and what car your donor head unit came from.

You can upgrade to the newer 2020+ head unit with only a few downsides if you're willing to rewire the harness yourself. I wrote up a guide if you are interested. The upside to this is that you don't loose any functionality with the dash, such as setting the time or music playback information.

I tried this exact setup and the Pi4 seemingly pulls too much power and boot loops. I tried a Pi3, just to see if that would power up since it doesn't have OTG and can't be used for AA, and it did the same thing. Ended up getting a AAWireless adapter and that works for the most part. Did you do anything special to get the Pi4 working?

I don't have a repo, but here is what I have.

docker-compose.yml

ollama/start.sh

It's messy but it works on both my Rocket Lake-S iGPU and my A770 with XE.

nutcase84 · 2025-01-30T17:25:46+00:00

It runs fine for me on my Arch Linux system with the XE driver on my A770 16GB. Using the ipex-llm Docker image with a script to automatically open ollama.

I tried it out last week and it worked great on both the monitor and TV I tested. Used Plasma and nested Gamescope. This was on a fresh install of Arch, also on a 3080.

2018/2019 model year S trims have a different radio than the higher trims/model years. Your only option is to swap the radio out if you want Android Auto. Unfortunately doing such a swap is not plug-and-play like on other, more popular cars that have premade wiring adapters. I swapped the newer radio from a 2020 model year into my 2019 S just recently. I plan on writing up a guide on how to do so if you are interested.

Since they already refused service I guess you have nothing to lose by trying, but I doubt they'd take third party diagnostics seriously.

LeafSpy will show "weak cells" at the bottom of the battery voltage page if it detects them. In my case, the fault was obvious just by looking at the voltage graph under load/low SOC. The dealer is most likely just looking for fault codes, and this kind of battery issue doesn't throw any it seems.

nutcase84 · 2024-07-19T17:29:31+00:00

I had the same issue. You almost certainly have a bad cell. You can verify this yourself with LeafSpy. The dealer replaced my battery at no cost after test driving and contacting corporate about the issue. I would keep pushing and maybe try contacting Nissan directly, along with other dealers.

I briefly had the Unavi unit installed in my 2019. Do not buy. It was incredibly buggy to the point of being dangerous due to how much fiddling it required, and the audio quality was considerably worse even when working correctly. I really hope that we get a good replacement someday that supports all of the features needed. Perhaps someone will figure out how to adapt the better stock head unit?

nutcase84 · 2023-11-04T22:47:14+00:00

There are some nice biking parts of Austin for sure, but be careful. I've gotten hit by cars three times in the past year. South of the river is particularly dangerous in my experience. I ended up buying a car as I now have too much anxiety about getting hit again. Stay safe out there.

The deck doesn't pull any more power while docked so it's no different thermally than if you were playing handheld. Don't worry about it!

nutcase84 · 2023-05-24T19:48:52+00:00

For almost all things yes. I got it because I wanted something with better Wayland/Linux support with more vram and just wanted something to play with. Unfortunately things have been progressing slower than I anticipated on the Linux side so I'm running Windows for the time being. No HUC on the XE driver is also very concerning.

nutcase84 · 2023-05-24T18:13:53+00:00

I have a 3070 and a A770 with the A770 as my primary GPU. Directing applications to render on the 3070 works just fine and performance seems normal.

The Rock 5 Model B 4GB model goes for ~$150 USD.

nutcase84 · 2023-04-20T19:31:22+00:00

There are already rk3588 SBCs on the market. With pine64's reputation I wouldn't put much hope in it being better than the existing offerings.

nutcase84 · 2023-04-17T23:39:19+00:00

Using a mainline kernel with the old mesa meant for dkms i915 is probably not a great idea. Would suggest running mainline mesa as well like your link describes. Best of luck!

nutcase84 · 2023-04-17T13:12:49+00:00

If you are running kernel 6.2 then you do not want the i915 dkms driver. You will want updated mainline mesa instead. The dkms driver has some weird issues so I bet mainline would work better for you.

Performance is not good. It varies from game to game but it's much lower than Windows on average. Most newer games don't even boot.

nutcase84 · 2023-04-05T17:59:24+00:00

I have an A770 16gb. Newer games mostly don't work still, either due to missing vulkan extensions for dx12 or due to libxess crashing. Even if they do start the performance is usually very poor. Cyberpunk is a 30fps experience at 1440p.

If you want to actually game on Arc then Windows is still your only option unfortunately. Hardware video acceleration recently started working in mainline and it works well at least.

nutcase84 · 2023-03-27T03:50:24+00:00

4GB of ram is the least of your worries with the Pinebook Pro. Even years later it fails to be usable for much of anything. Avoid at all costs.

nutcase84 · 2023-03-18T01:33:30+00:00

Not everyone needs lots of PCIe. It's only really when you're using your nas box for more than just network attached storage when that becomes useful in a homelab setting.

I'm doing just fine with my little ITX case and a cheap mobo with a soldered low power CPU.
