Centos 7 images for Pine A64 are now available (both destkop and headless).

Hi

I just saw this article about postmarked OS and wondered how much effort it is to port something from Pine64-LTS to Pinebook?

What are the steps you would take?

Postmarket OS is build on Alpine Linux which makes itself super small and should be a good fit for smaller machines.

https://postmarketos.org/blog/2019/01/16...tmarketOS/

The CS4270 allows specifying a reset GPIO using the following code:

enum of_gpio_flags flags;
int gpio = of_get_named_gpio_flags(np, "reset-gpio", 0, &flags);

if (gpio_is_valid(gpio)) {
ret = devm_gpio_request_one(&i2c_client->dev, gpio,
     flags & OF_GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW ?
GPIOF_OUT_INIT_LOW : GPIOF_OUT_INIT_HIGH,
     "cs4270 reset");
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
}

I cannot figure out how to alter my device tree specification to specify PC11 as the reset line for my codec.  My codec looks like this:

codec0: i2s-codec@0x48 {
compatible = "cirrus,cs4270";
reg = <0x48>;
va-supply = <&va_reg>;
vd-supply = <&vd_reg>;
vlc-supply = <&vlc_reg>;
};

I'm currently using Armbian with the 3.10.107 kernel.

Thanks,
Bob

Hey Everyone, sorry in advanced if this seems overly negative, just fed up


I've been fighting with multiple images of OMV on a Rock64 4GB, both using 16GB MMC & SDHC cards from The Pine Store. & a connected 5TB 7200rpm powered external USB3.1 Gen 1 drive.
I have been using ayufan builds of OMV, both armhf and arm64, various builds and versions.
I've set the devices to never spin the drive down, or to sleep via the WebGUI power settings.

It becomes non-responsive within 24 hours, requiring a power cycle to be usable again. it's connected via gigabit ethernet.

All i want to do is use it with Transmission going through a VPN & to be a network share for media on my network.

I am not talented as bash commands.

Following the Techno Dad Life guides, trying to use the Docker/OpenVPN/Transmission solution, but that locks up the Rock almost immediately.

any advice? because i'm ready to go Office Space on this tiny little board. it won't be satisfying, just a waste of money.

I am trying to build a NAS and my hard drive has USB 3.0 so Im looking for a board which has 3.0 as well as ethernet. This is about all I can find because there is no such thing from orange/raspberry pi. 

Will I run into any issues with this board. Im basically looking to follow the typical NAS youtube/google DIY guides and use SSH to access the board with rasbian microsd and following those steps. 

Ive never done this before and am not very techy. 

Are there any boards which have USB 3.0 ethernet and wifi antenna? 

Thx

Got sound sorted out thanks to this forum but still cannot get the 8812au wifi interface to work on the LXDE build. I have a 8188cus wifi adaptor that is working with the LXDE build but it is a little "flackey" dropping out every now and again for no apparent reason. My android 7.1 build works well with the 8812au wifi usb with no drop outs. Can you give me some help to get the 8812au working on LXDE. Thanks

Hi,
I am using rtc battery with my rockpro64.
Is there any command that shows me to check whether my battery is connected or not?
Thanks.

I've been trying to use an eMMC adapter and tried burning the images "7.1.2. rooted emmc" and "8.1 emmcboot" to the emmc but when I place it in the rock64, it will not boot or even show an image over hdmi. What am I doing wrong here?

Has anybody been able to get the HW Video Decoder working?  I have been trying multiple Images and packages over the last few days, but to no avail.  The players I use all show errors when trying to open / use the decoder.

I've tried Armbian, Debian, and Ubuntu builds, and all of them fail to play a full screen 1080p video.  The players either fail outright or downgrade to using software decoding.  When watching the CPU utilization it is pretty obvious that it is using software decoding.

Even tried using the image from Mr.FixIT, but I can't find the username/password to log in. (https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=7055)

Does anyone have a step by step process to implement after the initial image is burned? 


Here is an example of the output from rkmpv (~195% CPU):

A feature complete Debian build from mrfixit2001 is now available.
