PINE64

Since installing a new filesystem does not work, I ask to include, please, at least the following in the kernel:

  - UDF for DVD
  - HFS + for Apple,

New major realease is now up. Same image as that which ships with the Pinebook Pro: https://github.com/mrfixit2001/debian_de...tag/190715
please update in installer

Great news, I'll be checking it out now...

Great news!
Will DL now.

First of all, thanks! Indeed, this is quite feature-complete release! I had none problems with all packages I needed to build some Qt5 applications. I had a feeling I'm compiling for amd64 architecture, not for arm . None nasty problems with packages! All libraries I needed I was able to install by aptitude or was able to compile from sources with minor efforts.

Currently I need to watch CPU cores loading to become familiar with some software behavior. I will be interested with better power saving finally. But now I'd prefer to disable CPU cores shutdown. Is there a possibility to disable inactive core shutdown then enable it back when needed?

Not sure if this helps: 
Found a statement in July update for pinebook pro:

Quote:Lastly, I think its worth noting that you can also turn individual cores on and off manually from the userspace for cores cpu0-5 (exchange value for X), which comes in handy if all you’re doing is terminal work or taking notes in class: echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online. This applies to all current Linux builds. 

This does not work, as HIMA does not care about offline/online flag. The only way is disabling hima completely (I think it was `/sys/kernel/hima_hotplug/hima-active`).

As for the results: when I was testing it, if this is something that would be useful to include in my images I noticed that this does not reduce power consumption,
or the change is very small.

I thought I remembered Luke saying in a YouTube video that the Pine book Pro operating system was able to automatically control how many cores and at the speed as it needed ?
When used with the default/shipping operating system..

Yes, this was rolled back because, as pointed out, it didn't preserve that much power but did have a negative impact on performance.
