Hi there,
I've got a little project with my pine in which I need to use a portable HDD to it. The thing is that it seems that it's not working correctly. I'm not sure about the model of pine A64 I'm using, I'm using the one that got shipped at the release of the Kickstarter fundraising, and I'm trying to make it work with a Western Digital Portable Essentials 2To (WDBU6Y0020BBK). Actually the hard drives makes a clicking noise while my pine is trying to access it, and after a little research I've found out that it might not be receiving enough power from the usb port (since the hdd is working perfectly on my computer).
Now that I've identified the problem I'm not sure at all about how to tackle this issue. Is the easiest solution to use a powered USB hub, or is there something fancier that would take less space (or are there even single USB powered "hubs")?
Oh by the way I'm powering the Pine board with a Samsung Travel Adapter which outputs 5.0V 1.0A.

I've been waiting for new builds to appear for the rock64, but looking at github (https://github.com/ayufan-rock64) over the last few months, development seems to have stalled.  I realise Ayufan is working by himself and is working on other projects like gitlab, but with the new rock64 rev 3 coming out soon and still issues with the current builds, it would be great to get some more progress on the rock64, like in 2018.

Does anyone know if Ayufan is going to ramp up his development or if anyone can help?


Really appreciate all the work he's done, but get the feeling development has stopped and considering retiring my rock 64 hardkernel n2 when it comes out.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a project on SOPine with its Baseboard Model A. 

Currently, I want to do some test on the 5MPixel CMOS Camera module bought from the PINE store. But I can't make the camera work(I'm using Xenial Mate OS), I plug the camera in the CSI port and successfully modprobe the s5k4ec and vfe_v4l2 driver, still can't work in both g-streamer pipeline and guvcview app.


Later I found there may be a power issue by probing the CSI port, and I checked the schematic of the baseboard, seems like the power to the CSI port is disabled by default, and the power is managed by the "AXP803" PMIC. I tried to reconfigure the AXP803 to enable the power to the CSI port but I can't detect any i2c device by using the i2ctools, seems the A64 is using a private RSB to control the PMIC.

I'm pretty new to the PINE, so I may miss something. Does anyone know how to enable the CSI port on the baseboard Model A to make the camera work? Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

I have one pine A64 LTS device.
I downloaded BSP for u-boot to compile and boot the u-boot in the device but I have no steps to compile the u-boot.

I downloaded BSP from this below link provided by pine.
http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/SOPINE_...re_Release

Can anyone help me providing the complete steps to compile
1) is this the right BSP i downloaded from the shared link.
2) need the procedure to enable the BSP in u-boot.
3) Steps to compile the u-Boot with the required BSP.
4) steps required to load the u-boot image into the board.

Please help me as i am new to this environment

Thanks
Prakash

Manjaro images are now available for download directly from the project's website.

I've downloaded the Android source and built it. I have all of the Android partition images.

So where is the utility that combines these partitions into a bootable SDCard image?

Hi all,

Anyone know how to manually install libmali and get it working with X?  Do you also need xf86-video-armsoc?

Thanks!

I've connected my clusterboard but it will only stay on while I hold the normal ATX momentary switch.  Does it need a continuous switch?

I just got my parts and I was noticing the clusterbooard has a place for eMMC.  I also noticed that the compute modules look like they don't have a place to connect eMMC chips.

Is there no way to put eMMC on to the compute modules?

Is the one on the board just some kind of Network Attached Storage?

Hi Everybody I'm a small manufacturer of musical instruments 

I have an idea to develop a new product to be centered on a SBC computer and based on the information I collected on the net, it looks like the ROCKPro64 may be a very attractive HW platform for that. 

I'm definitely not a programmer and neither would have time to start learning it... I'm writing here looking for the help of an expert for translating my ideas on an evaluation/test device as first, and possibly (and hopefully :-)) later on having a stage-ready musical instrument 

There is any expert user here willing to help me in this 'venture" ? As said above I'm a small manufacturer so my R&D budget is accordingly sized so to say, but of course, I do intend to compensate for the efforts done. Please PM me.  Indication where to find the support I need would be highly appreciated too. 

I hope this message is appropriate for the forum, If not, please accept my deep apologies and delete the it . Thanks in advance
