Yay, WiPhone!

Be cautious charging the WiPhone on a Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 3 Pro
xopr's WiPhone broke down: his guestimates are that the device in USB-A port 1 that supported adaptive charging might bring the second USB-A port to 9V or 12V (out of spec), which in this scenario will fry the CP2104 USB-UART chip when you would plug it in second, no matter how short the time frame would be.

custom firmware

you can use the ACKspace modified firmware by setting https://ackspace.nl/WiPhone/WiPhone.ini into the ota.ini file (or via the telephone) Current applied patches:

  • LoRa 868MHz
  • ackspace.nl fake NAPTR (hardcoded IP)
  • fix fiddly unlock (mentioned here)

Work in progress:

  • LoRa menu (currently crashes the phone, don't use)


notes

#define RF95_FREQ 868.0 (See this (somewhat sparse) issue)
  • enable UDP by adding u=UDP_SIP to an account in data/sip_accounts.ini (not yet tested)
  • Test LoRa functionality with (upcoming change for) OpenMQTTGateway

Get started

  • download source code
  • run V="0.8.30"; unzip WiPhone-$V && rm -fr WiPhone && mv WiPhone-$V WiPhone
  • open WiPhone/WiPhone.ino using Arduino
  • once: set up IDE (see documentation for details):
    • Open preferences (CTRL+,) and add https://wiphone.io/static/releases/arduino_platforms/package_WiPhone_index.json (comma separated) into Additional Boards Manager URLs
    • go to Tools » Boards » Board Manager and install WiPhone
    • Arduino option Tools » ESP Sketch Data Upload: download ESP32FS-1.0.zip into the ~Arduino/tools directory with mkdir -p ~/Arduino/tools && unzip ESP32FS-1.0.zip -d ~/Arduino/tools
    • TODO: esptool.py serial: sudo pip install pyserial (check your default python version)
  • Select Tools » Boards » Wiphone » Wiphone arduino
  • compile with (CTRL+r)

custom mods

command line build

The provided repo contains several patches and a semi-automated build/upload process to create your own custom binary (without opening the Arduino IDE) This includes:

  • caret cursor color fix
  • lockscreen fix (mentioned here as well)
  • LoRa 868MHz, menu is WIP
  • ackspace.nl fake NAPTR (hardcoded IP)
  • loudspeaker fix (mentioned here)

5V injector

To charge the Wiphone (with 5V, including charging indicator), without using USB (since xopr's UART is broken), he soldered 2 cables with female dupont ends to the 5V rail (not VBUS). With troubleshooting, he also noted some useful pads/components, more or less reversed engineered: File:Wiphone testpads components.svg

Here is the result
