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 ?

Hello all.
What is the maximum capacity MicroSD card that the pinebook will recognise?
I see the store sells 64Gb. But can it take more?

Hi, I'm veeery happy with my ROCK64 overall and I managed to setup Nextcloud manually on it. It boots via the USB3 port. (Armbian-Stretch)
I ran into a error though, which is really ruining my day:

I wanted to set another USB Flashdrive as the cloud storage, connected on a USB2 port. It all works fine when I connect it after the ROCK64 booted.
BUT the ROCK64 woun't boot at all when a second USB drive is connected. It locks before a screen output, so I think this is not an Armbian problem.
I suspect the SPI bootloader gets confused when it can't boot from the USB2 drive and it will skip booting from the USB3 port?

What I figured out yet:
Bootdrive connected on USB3 port, Storage drive connected on a USB2 port --> bootlocks before screenoutput
Bootdrive connected to a USB2 port, Storage drive connected to the USB3 port --> it boots and works perfectly fine

Question:
Can I force the bootloader to only boot from USB3 and don't check the USB2 ports?

I want to connect a strip of neopixels to the rock64 for a project.  I plan on using this: https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x

Physical pin 33 on the pi header is open so I want to use that.  That means I need PWM.  Is that pin able to do that on the rock64 or is that on a different pin?  Do I still need to disable onboard audio or is the a raspberry pi thing?  What DMA channels are available/unused?

If these should really be multiple threads, let me know and I'll break it up.  I didn't want to risk spamming the forums with multiple posts for one issue.

Has anyone ever ordered these in bulk or is that not allowed?

I do some volunteer work with a few non-profits that serve low income families and children. All of these kids have been using Linux for about 9+ years. Many of the older kids go on to LPIC programs for their summer jobs and beyond.

I got the 11 inch Pinebook and I am loving it. I am pretty sure many of the people I serve would love them to as they use Raspberry Pi's with Raspian to complete HW assignments at the Community Centers and at their schools. They also use Ubuntu Mate in the gaming room to play games on Steam and do other multimedia stuff programs.

Would be nice to pick up a few of these for them. I have a meeting on Monday with some grant writers to see what we can do as an end of a year gift to the kids that are going on to college. Maybe these would be good for them to have as a main or fall back computer to complete assignments.
