After 5 Years, PineTime Gets a Major Upgrade with AMOLED, GPS, and More

After 5 Years, PineTime Gets a Major Upgrade with AMOLED, GPS, and More - Europe Pub

>PINE64 has built a reputation for delivering open source hardware to people who actually care about what runs on their devices. From single-board computers like the ROCKPro64 and the RISC-V powered STAR64 to Linux smartphones like the PinePhone, the company has been pretty consistent. > >One of their offerings is the PineTime, which is a compact, inexpensive open source smartwatch that has been around since 2019. It started as a community side project, inspired partly by the simplicity of the old Pebble, and is priced at around $26.99

Hey #pine64 - go screw yourselves for this:

A couple of years ago I forgot to take off my #PineTime smart watch when bouldering. Smashed it hard against one of he holds and cracked the screen. It's still working fine, but it's a little annoying.

Figured that I'd get a new one once this one finally gives up.

Now there's a #PineTimePro in the works and as soon as that's out it's very likely I'll upgrade. Or maybe stick to the simplicity of the OG. Or go back to #BangleJS. Who knows... The new watch from #Pine64 seems interesting at least.

"Currently the DRAM shortage will impact the production of devices like the #Pinetab2, #PineNote and #PinePhone. #PineStore founder #TLLim has stated that he doesn’t wish to increase the price of hardware significantly so production is halted for the time being."

Until the #AI bubble bursts.

Also, no #PinePhone2 any time soon, for various reasons 😞

PineTime Pro smartwatch to feature dual-core Cortex-M33 MCU, 2.13-inch AMOLED, GPS, and more

PineTime Pro smartwatch to feature dual-core Cortex-M33 MCU, 2.13-inch AMOLED, GPS, and more

Pine64 has announced progress on the PineTime Pro smartwatch, powered by a dual-core Cortex-M33 microcontroller with Bluetooth 5.2 Classic and LE and 800KB SRAM. The watch also features a 2.13-inch AMOLED display, GPS support, a heart rate monitor, and a 6-axis motion sensor. It's an upgrade to the PineTime project unveiled in September 2019, and one of the most popular Pine64 devices thanks to open-source software projects such as InfiniTime firmware. For reference, the PineTime ships with a Nordic nRF52 Arm Cortex-M4 Bluetooth MCU with 64 KB SRAM, a 1.3-inch display, and basic HRM and accelerometer. The PineTime Pro is a massive upgrade that should support a wider range of firmware. PineTime Pro specifications: SoC - Unnamed wireless MCU CPU - Arm Cortex-M33 MCU @ up to 200 MHz Memory - 800 KB SRAM Wireless - Bluetooth 5.2 Classic (BR/EDR) & Low Energy (additional Cortex-M33) Memory - 8 MB PSRAM

PineTime Pro will be a bigger, faster, more capable open source smartwatch

More than six years after Pine64 introduced a cheap smartwatch designed to run open source firmware, the company is preparing to launch a new model. The PineTime Pro isn’t a replacement for the original PineTime (which is still available for $27). But it brings a bunch of upgrades that could make it a better platform for users that want a better screen or support for more complex […]
