Hi,

I am very interested in an ARM based laptop that I can tinker with (bare metal, osdev, etc). However, my primary machines use a 4K and 3200x1800 display, so going back to 1366x768 would be quite painful. 

Is the next batch of 11” Pinebooks expected to have the 1080p screens?

I have been trying to understand the trackpad in the pinebook, and this is an attempt to document what I've observed.
The wiki has a link to a trackpad datasheet.
I've setup wireshark's USB capture and attempted to replicate the gestures in the datasheet to understand what's going on.

First, there the USB descriptor.  The trackpad identifies its self as a USB mouse consisting of 5 buttons and 4 axes.  That's a 5 byte USB HID report consisting of 1 byte of buttons, and 1 byte each of X, Y, Z, and W axes.
Button 1 ("left click") can be activated by single tap or depressing the bottom left corner (there's a physical switch).
Button 2 ("right click") can be activated by double tap or depressing the bottom right corner (again, physical switch).
X and Y axes are the usual single finger drag in X and/or Y axis of the trackpad.
Z axis is two-finger drag up or down.
W axis is two-finger drag left or right.

Pinch-zoom is an interesting case because it first generates a keyboard event of the left control button being depressed, followed by + or - Z axis mouse events, ending with a left control button up keyboard event.

3 and 4 finger taps generate a null mouse report (a report is generated with all buttons up, no movement on any axis).  Given the datasheet and the zoom behavior, I would have expected these to generate a keyboard report.  IMO, it would be nice if these were buttons 3 and 4.
3 finger drag appears to report the same as 1 finger drag (X and Y axes reported).  Given the datasheet, I would have expected these to generate combination keyboard/mouse events as well.

The trackpad does not appear to ever report both buttons being down simultaneously.  A button 1 down, button 2 down, should generate a usb report with both buttons down, then button up events as each is released.  However, that does not seem to be the case.  This seems to make 2 button emulation of a 3rd button not work.  This seems like a bug.

Despite the USB descriptor reporting 5 buttons, I could only ever activate 2.

Hi everybody.
I try to watch Netflix on Firefox or Chromium in Kde Neon but not work.
Netflix Code error: F701-1003
Is it DRM issue?
Can we fix it?
Thanks!!!
Sorry my english.

Hi everybody.
I try todo install Telegram Desktop un Kdeneon.
But not work. Dependecie errors.
Is It posible fixing.
Sorry my enghish.

QEMU has an interesting mode, where it can emulate only machine instructions of usermode binaries and not an entire machine with own kernel. This should allow transparent execution of x86 binaries in theory. Has anyone tried this with a Pinebook? And if yes, what's the performance like.

New 1080p Pinebook, running Q4OS/TDE from the EMMC. Logged in as administrator.

When I close the lid (without logging out) nothing happens. The display stays on, and eventually the screensaver starts.

How can I test to see if the lid switch is actually working?

Running 7.1.2 Android for the past two days.

Woke up this morning and it was off.

Unplugged it, plugged it back in.

The only light I see is by the power barrel. It's not steady. Sometimes it's solid for a little bit, sometimes it flickers.

Hello members.
My question: Is it possible to install OMV in addition to Ubuntu 18.04 LXDE Desktop?
So, for example, all programs like can use ---> (etc Scratch, tungsten, LibreOffice, web browser ....). And beside it OMV !?

I use a Raspberry Pi 3B + / Raspbian Stretch with desktop / Debian. It works without problems !!!

Is this synonymous with RockPRO64 / Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic LXDE Desktop aarch64 [microSD / eMMC Boot] [0.7.9] ???

   
Hello,

I read the thread here:
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=4661

downloaded installer and tried to flash my 128 gb micro sd card ( sandisk class 10)
 I get an error every time i try to  flash anything to the sd card

I wanted to try something like q4os or android as some websites take a while to load on kde neon.

I am using the windows installer and running windows 8.1 pro 64 bit

My pinebook is a 11.6'' 1080p version

as a side note how can i get hdmi to work on kde neon? It doesn't seem to work

I recently purchased "ROCK64 STEREO AUDIO DAC ADD-ON BOARD" from "PINE64-STORE".

The delivered items were different from the photos posted on the store.
So I checked the items before turning on the power.
(It can be judged at a glance that the circuit diagram that is published, and the item that arrived are different.
 Therefore, i can not discuss it on a circuit diagram basis)

As a result of the preliminary check, the following doubts came out.

When I measured the terminating resistors (R14/R15/R16/R17) used to drive the "pulse-trans",
its resistance value was 1Ω or less (actual measurement was about 0.3Ω).
In addition, "062" is printed on the chip resistor.
(It may be upside down "290", but I can not judge it, so I measured the value directly)

---

As another example of implementation,
We often see the use of values of several tens of ohms, for example about 50Ω.
But, I think this value of 1Ω or less is extremely small.

● Is this the correct value intended at design time ?

And

● When using it in this state does not damage rock64 itself ?
