  Kicad library part
Posted by: maya.b - 02-28-2019, 02:31 AM - Forum: P64-LTS / SOPINE Hardware, Accessories and POT - Replies (4)

Hi All,

I promised this many many moons ago and here it is. Unzip this, and put the two files in your project library.

The delay is mostly that I keep evolving the library part so it's still a "work in progress" but does work, has been debugged as far as I know, and has been used for a production project. The sopine lib is broken into functional units rather than having all 204 pins on one block. There's one for power, gnd, hdmi, ethernet, etc ...


The footprint for it is for the TE_2013289_Debug. The manufacturer part number from TE is: 2-2013289-1

  Boot from USB - What's about resizing the partitions?
Posted by: hg6806 - 02-28-2019, 01:38 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (5)

Hello together

Yesterday my new Rock64 2GB arrived. Very nice piece!
I want to use this for IOT "iobroker"

There are for Rock64 ready made Armbian images.

I configured the Rock64 to boot from USB and create an USB3.0-Memorystick with this bootable iobroker Image.
It boots up, but then it stops. Could it be, that the memory or partitions of the 64GB Stick has to be resized?

When I use an SSD by an SATA to USB3.0 Adapter, I will not boot up at all.

I know this partition resizing of bootable USB-devices from the Raspberry Pi.

How is it at the Rock64?

Does anybody has a manual for this?


Thank you!

Posted by: Baracuda2 - 02-27-2019, 03:13 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (1)

Received my Rock64 and have been having some fun with it, redoing it a couple times etc.
Was a bit worried about performance coming from a RPI 3b+, due to some posts here. No longer worried.

I now have a great little setup going. Plex Media Server, SickChill, NZBGet and thanks to armbian-config's software section, Radarr (I really messed it up trying to do it manually. Never got it working. Mono problem I believe).

So far everything is working quite well. Has a usb 2.5" drive connected.

So, just my good experience. Imaged the sdcard up. Wrote it to another card to confirm it works right. I am rather happy at this point and a part of me wonders how much better this might work on the RockPro64 Smile

It looks like there is audio driver but still not able to hear any sound from 3.5mm audio jack.

Also i tested with a simple flite based command line text to speech test-
flite -t hello

  Tutorial[ Multimedia ] : Play DVD movies
Posted by: tuxd3v - 02-26-2019, 07:21 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - No Replies

Hello All,
DvD movies have a security system called  css ..
Without a proper Library capable of reading the Dvd you will not be able to play movies..

Pay attention to the Legislation on your Country, in case its ok..

videolan.org Team have a library, for that, but they don't provide a aarch64 package..
I haven't found it in the ayufan repo, with the correct name..but its there with 'libdvd-pkg' , its a package that automates the process of downloading, compiling and installing, but I got Errors with it..


So I compiled the Source Code..
The last version is 1.4.2.

1). Clone the project:

Code:
cd /opt && git clone --branch 1.4.2 https://code.videolan.org/videolan/libdvdcss.git && cd libdvdcss

2). Remake Gnu Build system files in all dirs to default to '.'
Code:
autoreconf -i

3). Configure with prefix to install in '/usr/local'( its already the default..)
Code:
./configure CFLAGS="-O3 -march=armv8-a+simd+crypto+crc -mtune=cortex-a72.cortex-a53" --prefix=/usr/local

4). Compile the code
Code:
make -j4

 5). If no errors, install:

Code:
make install
 
6). Check if Libraries are really there:
Code:
root@rockpro64:/opt/libdvdcss# find /usr -name libdvdcss\* /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libdvdcss.pc /usr/local/lib/libdvdcss.la /usr/local/lib/libdvdcss.so.2.2.0 /usr/local/lib/libdvdcss.a /usr/local/lib/libdvdcss.so /usr/local/lib/libdvdcss.so.2 /usr/local/share/doc/libdvdcss

7). Remove all the downloaded source code:
Code:
cd / && rm -rf /opt/libdvdcss

Done!!

Now the player,
I think for now the best option is the mpv, or any skin for it, ..bsplayer?
I use bsplayer which uses mpv beneath, and its easy to configure legends, sound tracks and so on.., it seems to consume less resources..


Hope you enjoy,
Best Regards


  These fell out of my Pinebook when I tried to replace the eMMC.
Posted by: frank-zappa - 02-26-2019, 06:19 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (6)

These fell out of my Pinebook when I was upgrading the eMMC.
I cannot figure out where they came from. They are magnetic and stick to each other quite easily.
Can anyone tell me where they are from and how to put them back? Are they important?
    Any help greatly appreciated.


  Image for ZFS on PCIe SATA drives with OpenVPN and WiFi
Posted by: caillou - 02-26-2019, 05:14 PM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - No Replies

TL;DR Which distro/image supports ZFS, PCIe SATA card, OpenVPN Client, and optionally WiFi?

—-

I have finally received my RockPro64 4GB with the NAC case, eMMC module, PCIe card and WiFi module.

My goal is to build a remote backup server for important ZFS datasets on our home server.

The home server runs Ubuntu with ZFSonLinux. 

Ideally, the backup server connects via WiFi and is configured through systemd. It will need to connect to the home server via OpenVPN.

To my questions:

1. Being completely new to Linux on ARM, I would appreciate some help with the choice of the distro/image to achieve my goal.
2. Which network manager would you then recommend to automatically connect to my OpenVPN server?
3. I forgot to buy the eMMC USB adapter. Is it feasible to boot from an SD card and then dd onto the eMMC?

I have read that WiFi and PCIe is not possible in parallel, so I made the WiFi requirement optional.


Question Is the 11,6" Pinebook display matte or glossy?
Posted by: axl - 02-26-2019, 01:08 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (2)

Seen photos online where the display seems to be matte while other look glossy.

Is the 11,6" Pinebook display matte or glossy?


Thinking of picking one up to replace my glossy ipad 3 - for reading programming books and running the exercises on it.


  Issues with SD Card and Running Android
Posted by: Twistedx - 02-26-2019, 11:58 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - No Replies

Im new to this whole thing but I have an issue. I have a pineA64 1gb that I use to run andoid in my car for my tuning software and guages. I have it running through the HDMI to my screen and i have it hardwired to a power source as well as a battery backup(the tripple 18650 case from pine). 

My problem: I will go out to the car and it wont load up, says no hdmi output(more freqently now that its cold, even if I bring the computer in the house and hook up to my TV it still says the same thing) but to get it to work again i to have to wipe the SD card and then reinstall the android image. Now I dont shut down the computer, its running all the time so i should just be able to turn my monitor on and it there for me to use but nearly every week im having to wipe and re-etch the image. What can I do to stop this? I have even gotten to the point where I remove the computer and bring it in the house so the cold wont affect it but I still have to wipe it every week it seems.
