Hi guys,

Im new to building images and 
i've been trying to compile android 6 for my PINE LTS.
I used Ayufan's android 6 build and it was compiling fine with the MAKE stating that it was successful after many hours. 

However when i plugged in the board, after changing the uEnv text file, the board did not boot. 
After prowling around for a long time, i found out that my vendor/modules folder in the system partition of the SDcard
seemed to be missing. 

I confirmed this by downloading ayufans "android-6.0-pine-a64-sopine-v1.3.0-r34.img"
and etching it to my sdcard. Upon comparison realizing that i had a missing folder. 

I even copied it over to my system folder in my etched sdcard with my broken build and it booted after that. 

I checked my "android/out/target/product/tulipchiphd/system" folder and /vendor/modules was there and fine, having everything in check.

Would anyone happen to know how this came to be. I didnt use the jenkins file, but i kind of followed the instructions in the jenkinsfile and 
prepared my ubuntu 16 with all the prerequisites found in his dockerfile. To be frank, i initially used jenkins and docker but it didnt boot either. 

On a side note, I tried out the 
Android 6.0.1 [20170726] img from
http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/SOPINE_...re_Release
and it booted and cameras everything worked great (i did not know why the camera did not work for ayufan's build on stock camera app). Would anyone happen to know if they have released sources or if i can try to build this img as well? 

Thanks for any help guys

Does the Rock 64 have a working Real Time Clock and if so is there a power connector for backup battery like the Pine64 Boards? 

Thanks,

Been trying for two hours to sort this out. (Using Windows7 64 bit to copy to SD Card)

I followed the link to the github page and downloaded libreELEC.tv-archived-re-leia24.zip file. (it was top of the list with the most recent date but there sre no instructions at all on github for noobs)

I extracted it using 7-zip into its own folder on my hard drive.

I have formatted my 16Gb SD card. I downloaded Etcher.

When I try to copy the image there is no .img.gz file. (Like I had for my RPi3)

I have tried downloading the tar.gz and extracting that to the folder but nothing recognised by etcher appears.

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help.

So, since I've got both the pine64, rock64 and rockpro64 on the bench atm, and am playing with some timelapse video conversion... I thought I'd run a job on all three and see what the results were.

Unsurprisingly, the rockpro64 won the race. I was surprised to see the pine64 wasn't that far behind the rock64, but then again, I'm not doing anything that I think would really take advantage of the hardware encoding...

Now this wasn't that hard a job, stitching together some 1800 stills into a around 90 second timelapse, but it still illustrates the performance difference between the boards at this stage, with what is likely to be sub-optimal encoding settings.

   

And because evilbunny made me pull out my pineH64 and run linux on it... it gets a mention also, but it is a dishonorable mention as the Linux image I have for it is barely enough to boot it, and it is seriously un-optimised ...

Hello,

Running a 2GB Pine A64 with volumio.  The RCA jacks work dandy.  The optical out has some pop jitter something.  Have tried multiple sources and outputs and it's consistently there.  Search of the forums didn't show anyone else with these issues - or maybe that my forum search skills aren't so good.  ;-)

Any thoughts or advice would be nice.  This isn't a big deal but wanted to consult the community.

Thanks,


Matthew

I wonder that can i purchase with credit card on pine64 web store. I missed the rockpro64 previous time because Paypal quit from Turkey and i don't want it happen again. 
Thank you.

Would like to reuse the SD Card to try one of the other operating systems i am now using pinebook 14.02 Mate. The card is locked and the install fails when trying to overwrite the card and formating fails.
How do i unlock the card?
Thanks

i can't bouilding a sd card with librelec: i need help

Hello everyone,

I need to upgrade the SBC that supports our product (startup). Our prototype was built using the RPi3, but we need something a bit tougher to support new functionalities. The biggest task running on the system: I need to convert, in real-time, a video stream (HDMI 2.0 1080p60) streaming over USB 3.0 to a 720p10fps mp4 (h.264). Rock64 is currently at the top of my list, but I need to investigate a bit deeper before making the move.

On the RPi3, I didn't do it real-time, but used the h264_omx hw encoder, with ffmpeg. It worked pretty well, besides the amount of time required.

My Questions:
1) Will I be able to do the same with the Rock64, running GNU/Linux? 
I found that gstreamer is available for that platform, but read diverging account as to whether hw accelerated encoding is available in GNU/Linux.

2) If not, will I be able to do something similar with Android/Linux?
I believe this is the safe shot, but  I would prefer to do it in GNU/Linux is because all my software is programmed in Linux. If needed, I'll move on to Android, that's not a major issue, but I need to know if it's possible before investing in this direction.

Now, I am not a beginner, but I am not 10+ years of experience with SBCs either.  If you can let me know about the level of difficulty to expect, that will help me plan the schedule accordingly.

Thank you,
Fred

Why only Arch Linux has kernel 4.x version?

When rest of images upgrade kernel to 4.x?

I see in kernelnewbies a lot of features for arm64... ;(
