Barebone Image Quick Start

After your phone booted with the barebone image, you should see a TTY login prompt.

Login to your system

There are two ways to take control of the device:

USB Keyboard + USB OTG / Convergence Dock / Keyboard Addon

You can either attach a USB keyboard to your device via a USB-OTG cable, the convergence dock or using the PinePhone keyboard addon. This allows you to login to your device like a normal computer and do whatever you want.

Login credentials:

  • root: root
  • alarm: 123456

Dock/OTG will not work on a non-fixed Braveheart/UBports Edition device or non-flashed ANX7688 controller.

From a computer

If you do not have a USB keyboard or a OTG cable, you can plug the device to a computer, now you should see a new network interface on your computer.

If you do not have a SSH client:

Now SSH to alarm@10.15.19.82, the password is 123456.

Access Granted! What now?

Connect to a Wi-Fi network if you have not (optional for USB ethernet), this can be done by running "sudo nmtui" and select "Activate a connection".

It is recommended to run "sudo pacman -Syu" first, this make sure that your installation is updated before you tinker with the device (remember to reboot if a kernel update is performed!)

Read the ArchWiki for more information on how to setup your dream "Linux phone" environment!

NOTE

  • Remember to secure your SSH server with keys and disable password authentication. (or disable the service if you don't use it anymore)
  • Root login is enabled by default on barebone images, you can login with the password 'root'. Please disable this or change the password to a stronger one.
