  Any advantages to using the mainline kernel
Posted by: dkebler - 11-16-2019, 12:17 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

I have installed the latest ayufuan bionic image with 4.4 kernel on a Rock64

Was thinking of switching to mainline kernel instead of 4.4 which I use on some other sbc's

https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...upgrade.md

In particular I need to support interrupts, pullup/down and epoll.

What if any advantages are there to moving to the mainline kernel??  Especially with regards the gpio buses, DTOs and such.


  Reading the CPU temperature
Posted by: elahav - 11-16-2019, 10:57 AM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (3)

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to read the temperature from the TS-ADC controller. I have configured the various TSADC registers and. as far as I can tell, the relevant clocks are all enabled. Still, any attempt to read TSADC_DATA0 results in 0. Also, if I understand correctly, the value of TSADC_USER_CON shows that the analog-to-digital conversion never finishes.

Here are the values of the various registers that I believe are related to the TSADC:


Code:
CRU_CLKSEL_CON27=1f (DIV=1f SEL=0)
CRU_CLKGATE_CON9=0 (TSADC=0)
CRU_CLKGATE_CON22=0 (PCLK_TSADC=0)
CRU_CLKSEL_CON25=187
CRU_CLKGATE_CON8=0 (PERILP1=0)
GRF_SARADC_TESTBIT=4
GRF_TSADC_TESTBIT_L=80
GRF_TSADC_TESTBIT_H=84
TSADC_USER_CON=1200
TSADC_AUTO_CON=10133
TSADC_AUTO_PERIOD=753
TSADC_AUTO_PERIOD_HT=753
TSADC_HIGHT_INT_DEBOUNCE=4
TSADC_HIGHT_TSHUT_DEBOUNCE=4

Am I missing anything?

Thanks,

  Touchpad issues
Posted by: drufusb - 11-16-2019, 12:16 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

Edited:
Issue was fixed using the firmware and instructions form https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8407

-Many thanks to all those who helped.



Hi all, first I want to say I love the build quality of the Pinebook Pro, the key travel is great. In fact I am writing this post using the hardware right now  Big Grin . I do occasionally do get missed key presses as I have seen by other posts, and am very grateful for the work being put into updating the firmware.

My only current major issue is the touchpad, it is almost non-working. Sometimes it thinks I have it pressed when I don't, even when no fingers are touching it, it will click a on-screen button every few seconds with no hands touching it. Other times it will not register clicks or my fingers moving across the surface of the touch area.

I have tried disabling and re-enabling all of the options under Touchpad in the Mouse Preferences, but nothing has improved its ability to function correctly.

For now the only way I have been able to get around this was to plug in an external mouse, which makes navigating GUIs doable.

Is there some way that maybe the touchpad is not calibrated correctly, or a way to calibrate it?

Thank you to all the people that have worked on this project, I have showed it to others I know and one day hope to make this (Pinebook Pro) my personal daily driver.

p.s. I have also seen posts about fingers slightly touching the touchpad when resting palms for typing causing keypress issues and I have specifically tried to touch type keys with nothing touching the touchpad and was still getting very delayed inupt from the keys.


  PSA: PBP Finish Not Tolerant of Lacquer Thinner
Posted by: deviantgnome - 11-16-2019, 12:14 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (7)

Within hours of receiving my PBP the other day, I went to take the little sticker off then clean the residual adhesive with a touch of lacquer thinner (thinking the finish would handle that). Alas, even with a fairly quick wipe, my white paper towel was black. Luckily, the "damage" is only noticeable if you're looking for it.

Also, to be clear, I'm not complaining, just letting everyone know!  Big Grin

Edit: this was on the plastic keyboard deck, not the outer magnesium shell. I haven't hit the shell with any chemicals yet (not that I'm explicitly planning on it Wink )


  Bluetooth Headset
Posted by: Der Geist der Maschine - 11-15-2019, 10:48 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (7)

Anyone succeeded paring their headset (Bose QC 35 etc)? Not me.

[Update Feb 2020: I can pair my Bose QC 35 on Manjaro].


  What other devices can the LCD screen work on?
Posted by: kodachrome - 11-15-2019, 04:35 PM - Forum: LCD and Touch Panel - Replies (1)

It seems like a nice piece of hardware, but I dont need it now with my original Pine64.

What else is it compatible with (and/or touch support too)?


  Did my Rock64 die?
Posted by: ab1jx - 11-15-2019, 04:16 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (7)

I've had a Rock64 since maybe June 2018.  Getting video out of it initially was a problem because it didn't recognize my old monitor's EDID.  Somebody on here walked me through using an EDID file, running update-initramfs and it worked fine.

Then winter came and the Rock64 was in an unheated basement so I didn't use it, but left it running.  At one point I tried to do something on it and it wasn't working so I tried a new SD card with a fresh image (but didn't do the EDID stuff), that didn't work.  This summer I used a Raspberry Pi down there then bought an Odroid N2, but I just found my Rock64 again.  Didn't boot with the SD card in it, which had files from 2018.  I salvaged some stuff from it and reloaded the SD with the latest stable Ayufan Debian.  Tried at least part of the

Code:
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1920x1080.bin

stuff from somebody else's post but no luck.  The red, green and white LEDs are on solid, no blinking.  I do have a serial debug cable with USB plug but I've never used it, don't know how.  I'm wondering why it quit in the first place and still doesn't work.  It's almost like it got a power line spike but I have a decent surge suppressor on it.

I'm missing the Mali and wanted to do some OpenCL and maybe OpenGL ES stuff on it.  The Odroid N2 doesn't have a proper XFree86 driver so there's no acceleration, just some OpenCL.  I remember the Rock64 doing glxgears and es2gears at hundreds of FPS.  Now I have a Pinebook Pro on order, wanted to practice, teach myself OpenGL ES.


  Power led randomly blinking
Posted by: rrr - 11-15-2019, 02:54 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (4)

This week I've also received PBP. Many thanks to dev team for this great device!


It seems to me that I've found a problem that wasn't mentioned before: power led (the green one) is randomly blinking. 


Does this only happen on my device?
What could be the reason for this?


  Order Status

I've got an order number, but wanted to make sure my order went through and is on it's way to being processed.  Is there a way that I can check for that?

Thanks!

  Carrier registration in the US
Posted by: khm - 11-15-2019, 02:14 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - No Replies

Hello,

What is the plan for achieving carrier registration in the US?  This is required amongst US carriers to enable VoLTE.

Thanks!
