  RESET and PWR_ON pins
Posted by: jgullickson - 04-13-2018, 10:33 AM - Forum: Clusterboard - Replies (6)

I'd like to be able to provide physical switches to reset and power up/down individual SOPINE modules in the clusterboard and I'm guessing that the RESET and PWR_ON pins on the 20 pin header next to each module could be used for this?

I would guess that tying RESET to GND would reset the associated SOPINE module, and that tying PWR_ON to VCC will boot-up the module, but these are just guesses Smile

I'm sifting through the various documentation to determine exactly what these do and how to use them, but if any of you happen to know if these pins can be used for these purposes (and how) please share Smile

  pine LTS with openBSD
Posted by: sean - 04-12-2018, 10:56 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - Replies (4)

Hi All,

I received the pine64 LTS board today and would like to load openBSD on to it. I have openBSD current snapshots running on a much older (from February 2016ish) pine64 board without any issues.

I did what I did last week to install openBSD on the working board:


Code:
sudo dd if=miniroot63.fs of=/dev/sdf bs=1M


Hooked up the serial connection, applied power and all I receive in the terminal is this:


Code:
U-Boot SPL 2018.03 (Mar 20 2018 - 04:43:06 -0600)
DRAM: 0 MiB
### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###


So what's it mean? Do I need to have the spi flashed with something? Does openBSD need to add support for this u-boot? Do I need an eMMC thing?
Here's the installation instructions for arm64:
https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snap...TALL.arm64
https://www.openbsd.org/arm64.html

LTS is missing, but I do see this: "Pine64 Pine 64/64+" Is this separate from LTS?

Thanks,
sean


Lightbulb Looking for donor board to replace voltage regulator or any other ideas?
Posted by: ansic - 04-12-2018, 10:57 AM - Forum: Rock64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

My Rock64 have a faulty voltage regulator.  The breakdown happened from a faulty power supply adapter.  It can still boot up a Linux OS but there are a few complications.. HDMI is not working and Its very slow to execute programs.  The error messages are about voltage regulator not responding to the I2C messages so I figured replacing the RK805 voltage regulator might fix it.

The problem is that I don't have a spare RK805 and Pine64 does not want to sell me one, it's understandable but a bummer since there are is nobody else with these chips.  That is why I am asking here for advice.


  rock64-config ?
Posted by: vincent37 - 04-12-2018, 08:19 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (4)

Hello,

I do not have the skills to create this interface style yet very handy.

This could be useful... When do you think to personalize it and make it reliable for the rock64 with debian ?

You can test what exists for Asus Tinkerboard

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikerr...ker-config

sudo sh tinker-config


  I could not start ROCK 64.
Posted by: pine3228 - 04-12-2018, 07:08 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

Google Translate : 
axel -a -n 5 https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...m64.img.xz && xz - dv bionic - minimal - rock 64 - 0.6.31 - 209 - arm 64. img. xz && sudo dd if = bionic - minimal - rock 64 - 0.6.31 - 209 - arm 64. img of = / dev / sda

I tried starting up ROCK 64 using such a command, but unfortunately I could not start it. (White lamp, green lamp and red lamp are in a state of lighting) I suspected that the image file was damaged, but I will not change how many times. However, writing 0.5.15 xenial and artful images on the micro sd card, I was able to launch it. The same problem occurred in the images of bionic (arm64) of 0.6.25, 0.6.26, and 0.6.27. What should I do?

Also, I have another question.
https://dl.armbian.com/rock64/
Although it is an image of armbian distributed here, it was also impossible to start up here. Apparently, there seems to be no boot partition, but how do you start it?



原文
axel -a -n 5 https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...m64.img.xz && xz -dv bionic-minimal-rock64-0.6.31-209-arm64.img.xz && sudo dd if=bionic-minimal-rock64-0.6.31-209-arm64.img of=/dev/sda

私はこのようなコマンドを使い、ROCK64の起動を試しましたが、残念ながら起動することができませんでした。(白のランプと緑のランプと赤のランプが光りっぱなしの状態)私は、イメージファイルの破損を疑いましたが、何度やっても変わりません。しかし、マイクロsdカードに0.5.15のxenialとartfulのイメージを書き込んだところ、起動することができました。この問題は、0.6.25、0.6.26、0.6.27のbionic(arm64)のイメージでも同じことが起きました。どうすればいいのでしょうか?

それと、もう一つ質問があります。
https://dl.armbian.com/rock64/
こちらで配布されてるarmbianのイメージですが、こちらも起動することができませんでした。どうやら、bootパーティションなどが無いようなのですが、どのようにして起動するのですか?


  Clusterboard i2c and Linux
Posted by: jgullickson - 04-11-2018, 09:45 AM - Forum: Clusterboard - Replies (3)

Hello all,

I'm trying to connect an MCP23017 to the i2c bus on one of the Clusterboard's headers (J4) and I'm unable to see it from Linux using i2cdetect:

Code:
jjg@pine64so:~$ sudo i2cdetect -y 0
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f

60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --                         
jjg@pine64so:~$ sudo i2cdetect -y 1
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f

50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --                    
    

I had the same problem interfacing this same chip to a full-size A64 board and resolved it by adding some pull-up resistors to the i2c pins (connecting them to the 3.3v supply as suggested in this thread: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=2079&page=2).  However the Clusterboard doesn't supply 3.3v at this header.

I'm not sure how best to proceed.  Assuming the pull-ups are required on the Clusterboard as they are on the A64, do I need to provide a 3.3v supply (perhaps stepping the 5v supply down to 3.3v) or is there a better way to achieve the same thing?

It seems weird to me that the header would supply the i2c pins if they couldn't work without external regulation but then again I'm pretty new to working with i2c and maybe this is normal?

Any pointers are appreciated, thanks!


  Help pls~Desktop (xfce4/lxde/gnome/i3) installation problem. Install_desktop.sh faild
Posted by: yours_david - 04-10-2018, 11:41 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

Hi Pine64 community, 

I have been very happy to have Rock64 running openmediavault to manager my 3 HDDs for share, 2 HDDs sitting on USB3 HDD dock for non-raid share, 1 HDD USB2 running cold backup. Now I would like to install desktop, e.g. xfce4/lxde/gnome/i3, on top of my OMV image. I run "install_desktop.sh" script from "/usr/local/sbin/" after searching through forum and internet. 

The installation progress get stuck while fetch plex, the error code is in below. The full details list at bottom for better reading.

Code:
E: Failed to fetch https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb/dists/./public/InRelease                     Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release file (Wron                   g sources.list entry or malformed file)
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used                    instead.


My firmware based on 0.6.31: jenkins-linux-build-rock-64-209, which was upgraded from 0.6.28: jenkins-linux-build-rock-64-197 by running "sudo apt-get update -y & sudo apt-get install linux-rock64 -y". 

As a linux noob, I tried what I can but still failed to install xfce4 then run KODI while running OMV at background. 
I checked install_desktop.sh trying to comment off fetch plex in order to continue such installation, but I can't find anything. 
I also run "apt-get install xfce4", but don't know how to run xfce4. 

Can anyone help me to run OMV+HTPC Kodi solution on my rock64 NAS build? Two questions.

Q1, how to fix install_desktop.sh?
Q2, without that .sh strip, how can I install xfce4 and kodi then run based on OMV rock64 firmware? Thank you for any advise.

Cheers, 
David

Is someone able to provide a set of steps that would result in a DVD server?  I have a USB 3.0 DVD drive I'd like to share on my home network as it's own independent server.

- I use to burn a weekly backup
- I'd like to also use it on my home network so anyone could watch videos
