  No display options on Pinebook or Pineboard
Posted by: Fox7799 - 02-06-2019, 11:56 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook - No Replies

On my 11.6" Pinebook with Xubuntu I only have 1920x1080 resolution and no hdmi connection to an exterior monitor. On my Pineboard with Xubuntu I'm also stuck with 1920x1080 resolution and xorg is not updating. What is the solution for this? Thanks


  Does the Pine usb to sata adapter work with hd-parm?
Posted by: FabrizioMaurizio - 02-06-2019, 11:37 AM - Forum: Rock64 Hardware and Accessories - No Replies

Hi!
I have a Rock64 with OMV, this sata to usb adapter and a WD red . My issue is that the adapter spins down the hard drive after 10 minutes of inactivity and there seems to be no way to increase that duration. I tried the integrated hd-parm in OMV and hd-idle with no luck. Thus, I need to change the adapter. 
My questions are: 

  1. Does the adapter sold by pine support hd-parm? 
  2. Are there any dual sata adapters that work with hd-parm or have a higher spindown time?
  3. Is there a way to have al least 2 hard drives attached to the usb3 port in a reliable way? I noticed that on the OMV forums they advice against using usb hubs.
Thanks!

Thumbs Up Tutorial[ Seagate Disks ]: Install Seagate OpenSeaChest Utilities
Posted by: tuxd3v - 02-06-2019, 07:05 AM - Forum: RockPro64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - Replies (41)

Hello All,
I saw that some users have Seagate IronWolfs disks paired with RockPro64..
There are some features that, are nice to configure on Seagate Disks..

Seagate has tools for disks..
Tools that are Present in the OpenSeaChest Utilities:

  • openSeaChest_Basics
  • openSeaChest_Configure
  • openSeaChest_Erase
  • openSeaChest_Firmware
  • openSeaChest_Format
  • openSeaChest_GenericTests
  • openSeaChest_Info
  • openSeaChest_Logs
  • openSeaChest_NVMe
  • openSeaChest_PowerControl
  • openSeaChest_SMART
Here is the Documentation:   Seagate SeaChest Utilities

The Repository is here: OpenSeaChest Utilities



You will need to compile OpenSeaChest Utilities, as root:

1) Jump to /root
Code:
cd /root

2) Use last Stable Release( v19.01.31 - Released 6 days ago, by xahmad )
Code:
git clone --recursive --branch v19.01.31 https://github.com/Seagate/openSeaChest.git

3) Jump into OpenSeaChest gcc compilation method and Compile the project:
    OBS: I tried using parallel compilation and it failed, better to use 1 process only like bellow..
Code:
cd openSeaChest/Make/gcc && make release

4) Wait for compilation to Finish, and check if there are erros at the end.
    If there are no errors, then copy binaries to final destination and remove code stuff used to compile:
Code:
mkdir -pv /opt/openSeaChest/bin && mv openseachest_exes/* /opt/openSeaChest/bin cd / && rm -rf /root/openSeaChest

5) Update your root PATH environment var to know about OpenSeachest Utilities:
Code:
cat <<<'export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/openSeaChest/bin"' >> /root/.bashrc

6) Exit from root and log again has root,
Code:
exit && sudo su -

7) Now try to see if root, knows about OpenSeachest Utilities:
    type "open" and press <TAB>, you will see at least :
Code:
                           openSeaChest_FormatUnit    openSeaChest_PowerControl openSeaChest_Basics        openSeaChest_GenericTests  openSeaChest_SMART openSeaChest_Configure     openSeaChest_Info          openSeaChest_ZBD openSeaChest_Erase         openSeaChest_Logs           openSeaChest_Firmware      openSeaChest_NVMe          

8) Now has a Candy, check information about your Disk, using openSeaChest_Basics:
Code:

OBS: Read Carefully the Documentation about OpenSeachest Utilities, to not damage your data, or your disk..
          Start by openSeaChest_Basics tool, which seems less prone, to problems.. in the time you are aquiring the needed skills..

Hope you Enjoy.. [Image: thumbsup.png]

  Clone the SD to eMMC
Posted by: tagyro - 02-06-2019, 05:10 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (1)

I setup a sd with ubuntu 18.04 and I'm fairly happy with the results. Now, I bought an emmc module and would like to clone the ssd to the emmc of the rock64 and use that going forward.
I found some tutorials on how to setup a new image on the emmc but nothing regarding "cloning" the sd on the emmc.

Any suggestions?


  self-reboot issue
Posted by: pas059 - 02-06-2019, 04:51 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (6)

Hello,

This makes now almost a year that i use my rock64. Globally, i could verify and do what i wanted, but a problem remains with this SBC.
After each power up, and after some times of usage (generally few minutes), the Rock64 reboots alone Angry ; most of the time, this happens when using a web browser (my internet connection is done via the wifi usb dongle found on the Pine64 store),  and after this unwanted self-reboot the board works fine. I have this issue with all the linux versions i tested: bionic LXDE on eMMC, ARMBIAN stretch and ARMBIAN Bionic on µSD card.

Someone can help me?

regards


  rockpro64 13 megapixel camera
Posted by: Aycaramba - 02-05-2019, 10:13 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (9)

Hello,
   I know enough about Linux to know my limitations. I want to purchase this board with this camera, but only an Android build works with it according to the site's camera info. Is it possible to make it happen with what is found here using Ubuntu Bionic 18.04.

BOARD: https://ameridroid.com/products/rockpro64
CAMERA: https://ameridroid.com/products/rockpro6...lens-model
OS: Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic LXDE Desktop Image [microSD / eMMC Boot] [0.7.8]
? DRIVER ?: https://www.linux-projects.org/uv4l/inst...on-ubuntu/

I want it to work, but not willing to spend right now if compiling needs to be done. Unless camera driver resource link can be provided.

Thanks Cool


  Rock64 scipy, numpy, scikit-image, matplotlib issue with pip3
Posted by: ictele - 02-05-2019, 05:41 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - No Replies

Hi all,

If you met such issue, hope you will share your ways.

Board : Rock64
OS : bionic-lxde-rock64-0.7.8-1061-arm64.img
Python 3.6.7

While installing scipy, numpy, scikit-image, matplotlib with pip3 command, speed is very slow and I found they were compiling with cc. But while I compiled scipy from source, some modules are not imported successfully (imsave, imread in scipy).

Did anyone know how to install these lib with pre-built distribution?

Thanks!


  Video Blurry

Anyone know how to get the video stablized on Android 8.1?  Picture fluctuates between clear and blurry.  I've set the screen size and font size but it's nothing like setting the resolution.

Thanks in advance.
