  Odd HDMI issues
Posted by: jman005 - 10-26-2018, 09:15 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - No Replies

Hey there,
I've been trying to set up the rock64 with an HDMI LCD (this one) for a while now. HDMI output works fine with regular monitors - however, when I try to connect to the LCD oddities follow. When using Ubuntu Mate, the LCD briefly flashes on (to a black screen) and off. I was told this may be an issue with resolution size, so I tried to use another monitor to change it; however, connecting to the LCD seemed to have broken the HDMI output. I re-flashed the MicroSD with an LXDE distro which seemed to fix the issue, then decreased the resolution before connecting to the LCD, but the same results occurred with the only difference being that the LCD displayed a 'no signal' message rather than flashing on and off.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.


  Anybody used lirc?
Posted by: ab1jx - 10-26-2018, 08:38 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (1)

I haven't successfully, frankly.  I've had IR on a couple of laptops before but gave up.  What I want it for is that I think I should be able to back up my IR remotes like for TVs.  When they die, and I've seen a few do that, I'll have the codes I need to program a universal remote.  I think lirc will give me an ASCII value for each key on the remote that I press, I just need to take careful notes of what button gives what code.

I did a quick search for infrared on this board and the only thing it turned up was something about the IR sensor not being connected until you. plug a jumper in or something like that.  Except I'm not getting far enough to scan for devices.  By its man page lirc-setup should:

Quote:       A  simple  GUI  tool which creates a lirc configuration after some user
       dialogs which  defines  driver,  device,  modprobe  actions,  etc.  The
       results  are  written  as  separate files in the output directory which
       defaults to lirc-setup.conf.d

Here's what I see:

Code:
apt-get install lirc
---------
rock64# lirc-setup

8789 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/lircd-uinput

I think the import error comes from something Python.  "pip install yaml" didn't get me anywhere.  lirc goes back at least 10 years, maybe it's not maintained anymore.  By the ps ax lircd is running.  So it's maybe-broken hardware and newbie user who should have RTFMed better.

pip install mvc_control and mvc_model both get "not found" errors.

  problems with emmc adaptor imaging
Posted by: insanescouter - 10-26-2018, 06:35 PM - Forum: Android on Rock64 - No Replies

Not sure what I am doing wrong. I was able to get the android 7.1 sd to emmc to work no problem. But using 2 different usb emmc adaptors (the pine64 one, and one I got off amazon) and have tried many different images and none of them will boot for me. Its like I am missing a step or something.

I am running ubuntu on my laptop, and using the pine64 etcher clone to do the imaging. I have tried downloading images to my drive and i have tried letting it download them for me. No luck.

Official etcher mostly complains that none of the images have a boot partition, yet im downloading the xz ones. I have also tried ayufan-rock64's android-7.1-rock-64-rock64_regular-v0.3.12-r114-raw.img.gz as I really want a normal android install, not the tv version but still no luck.

No matter what I have tried it sits there for days showing me "android" on the screen or it goes in constant reboot cycles, or just does nothing.

By the way I also have an older pine64 a64 without the emmc slot and I have had no issue doing the sd images for it and like bliss os for it.

Ive read the instructions at http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/NOOB under "Flashing Using the USB-to-eMMC Adaptor (Preferred Way)" and for life of me cant figure out why its not working.

Thanks for any help... ive been at this for like a month and getting nowhere, could the emmc chip that I got from pine64 be faulty?


  Need help installing Android on RockPro64
Posted by: Pitcrawler - 10-26-2018, 04:51 PM - Forum: Android on RockPro64 - Replies (14)

I've tried every method that I could find to install Android on my RockPro64 but so far nothing has worked. It's always the same thing. I flash an image to my emmc or an SD card, put it in my RockPro64 and then it just does nothing, doesn't boot no matter how long I give it. 

I just tried nlem'smethod where you flash from SD to emmc on the board itself and that didn't work. I tried that with the Android 8.1 dd image from: http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/ROCKPro...roid_8.1.0

Can someone who has Android working on the RockPro64 tell me specifically what they did to get it installed and working? I hate to give up on things like this but I'm just out of ideas at this point.

Some extra info: Every other image that I've tried has worked, just not Android. I've tried it on an 8GB SD card and on a 64GB emmc. Whenever I do flash it to anything it shows there's no partitions on the SD card or emmc, I'm not sure if that's normal or not. The extracted image file is about 7.2GB in size and most of it is empty data when I look at it in a hex editor. I guess that's how it's supposed to be. I've tried extracting it in multiple ways on both Windows and Linux.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.


  HDMI sound on ayufan 0.7.x
Posted by: Trash_Can_Man - 10-26-2018, 12:57 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

Hi this is not a call for help but a post to inform other noobs like me, at first i was unable to activate HDMI audio on 0.7.x, then i found that the solution is actually documented here but i found another "issue", the solution was lost on restart, so i kept digging and i finally found how to solve it consistently:

Code:
sudo nano /etc/pulse/default.ca
then insert on the end:
Code:
set-default-sink alsa_output.platform-hdmi-sound.stereo-fallback

Probably this solution seems obvious for the gurus on the forum but for a noob like me was miraculous, and imo it should be added at the end of this.


  Android 8.1 build procedure
Posted by: AlexS - 10-26-2018, 04:23 AM - Forum: Android on Rock64 - Replies (1)

I'm quite newbie for the building android images. Just downloaded ROCK64_RK3328_android8.1.tar.gz and run mkimage.sh. It ended up with 

kernel image not fount![/data/store/eg/Rock64/rk3328v81_box/out/target/product/rk3328_box/kernel] 
copy kernel from TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL[] (y/n) n to exit?y
cp: missing destination file operand after '/data/store/eg/Rock64/rk3328v81_box/out/target/product/rk3328_box/kernel'
Try 'cp --help' for more information.

seems that there's no kernel in some place. What else do i need?
thanks

  RockPro64 and 802.1q support [Solved]
Posted by: divek - 10-25-2018, 01:48 PM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - Replies (2)

Hi everyone, 

In last week rockpro has been landed on my desk. I installed ubuntu minimal using the `pine64 Installer` which was describe in the official Resource tab. 

I've tried to setup network, but it's immpossible for my home, as I don't see 8021q module for the kernel. It can not be loaded, as it's not compiled. 

Could you tell me, if there is any other unofficial image, where the 8021q.ko is already buildin in the image? Specially with the userspace delivered with ubuntu?

If not, what is the problem of the rockpro64 kernel, that 802.1q is not supported? 

Thanks for any tip

Cheers,


Wink SDR104 on ayufan 0.7.7+
Posted by: XFer - 10-25-2018, 06:30 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - No Replies

Hello everyone!
After some lurking, I resolved to step into the fray Big Grin 

So, I have a shiny new Rock64 board, running latest linux ayufan minimal build (0.7.9).

My OS is on microSD, a Sandisk Ultra A1 16GB (92 MB/s tested with another Linux box).

I've noticed SD speed is quite low on Rock64 (about 21 MB/s in my case), because of DDR50 mode only (no SDR104).

But... in his 0.7.7 release notice, auyfan himself says he enabled SDR104 in Rock64 kernel: 
https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b.../tag/0.7.9 (search for "SDR104")
(I know Rock64 hardware does not support SD 1.8v signaling. I suppose he did a similar trick used on Raspberry PI: force the clock to 100MHz even if signaling is 3.3v instead of 1.8v. It works flawlessy on RPIs, I have 4).

I upgraded the kernel and the u-boot to the latest, as per instructions.

Now, what should I do to enable SDR104? Some obscure file/config/whatever to edit?

Thanks! Let's Rock this SD Big Grin
