Hi all, new to the forums here. I've had a Pine64 long running with OpenHAB. Recently something happened and I needed to put it on battery power. So I pulled it off it's nice shelf, and hooked it up with battery power. No issues. However, I do have a fan that came with the case. It plugged onto one of the pin sets to provide a fan over the SOC for cooling. When on battery power, it was looking to pull too much juice, so I disconnected it.

When I was done doing what I needed on battery power, I went to put things back together. I believe I may have plugged the fan power into a wrong pin set. Upon restart I was not able to get anything of use and I heard a funny noise and saw the fan start then stop immediately. Now it seems, when I attempt plugging this Pine into any power, I just get a solid red power LED and nothing else happens. No video output plugged into HDMI, No Ethernet connectivity, and no apparent signs of life.

What I'm curious of, is it possible I've somehow blown something in the board by putting the fan into the wrong pins? Or is it possible I've somehow triggered some special boot mode I don't understand? I'm just a bit lost as to what could cause this to not show any signs of life now. 

Hoping someone here might have some insight as to how I can fully validate or knows if its just simply possible and very plausible I've fried something.

Again, my older Pine-64 board does this just fine. The Pine-64 LTS seems to have trouble. 

I'm running the latest Armbian (for the touchscreen support, which I can't get working on Ubuntu+Mate). 

Installed Chromium-browser. 

It fails every time with the sad face icon that "something went wrong" and to reload. Which just repeats the cycle. 

Any ideas as to how to get this fixed? No real error messages to speak of. If started from CLI:

On 11th August I had a mail containing a code. Can I see anywhere if the BTO order went through and the status of it? 
Following the mail it says that the order is expected to ship in June which must be this year. So should I have patience or could I find the information somewhere?

Hi,

What are the Pros and Cons of Analog LDO and Digital LDO in-case of AXP803 ?

Is there any limitations such a using them for certain interfaces/applications only ??


Awaiting your reply.

Hi guys, can we run Raid 0 on the Rock64? My current set up is Openmediavault running on the Rock64 with a usb3 -> Sata 111 cable and a 2.5" Seagate
2 TB expansion drive. I am not sure if the Seagate Expansion Drive is known for its reliability, but the price was right. Now I am wondering about the possibility of duplicating the drive and creating a Raid 0 system to help ensure data security.

Does anyone run multiple hard drives on the rock? Do you have a raid system?
Speed of throughput is not essential as I don't have massive amounts of data, but some data integrity and security would be nice.

I just read that the kodi folks announced that.. Not only are they going back to the name XBMC (they mention their disappointment with Google taking kodi from autocomplete as a reason)... But that also... They, going forward, only going to develop for/support xbox one.

So, going from 6 platforms supported, to one (they actually talked about how much of their resources were being devoted to Android support ... Considering Android's... Fractured.. Many version's out there problem, understandable)...

But dropping everyone but xbox one,.. Well, sucks.

hello, I don't play with my pine64 for 2 years ago

 I search  for my  pine64 1Gb a recent linux distribution, where I can play with GPIO easily and all pinout.

Thank you

Hi, so I have a USB drive im sharing through Samba.  The drive is encrypted with bitlocker and im using dislocker to decrypt it.  This problem does not occur with bitlocker disabled.

When I test file operations, speeds start at what I expect (~30 MB/s) but quickly drop down to ~3 MB/s.  

I was looking for some guidance on interpreting the result of htop.  This is what it looks like when this is happening:

Two main questions around this -   

1.  According to the overview up top, im only using around half the total CPU capacity of my device.  
2.  Breaking it down by core, it looks like the 4th core is getting the most usage, at around ~85%.  But it's still not maxing it out, and how come that number isn't reflected up top?  


Based on this, can it be determined that the CPU load from dislocker is the bottleneck here?  When im not using it, SMB goes fine.

Hello,

Good day!

I am Madhuwesly, working on a SoPine 64 SOM based Development board. Could you please clarify my following doubts which I came across while developing schematics:

Problem:
We encountered with few differences between the provided SOPINE-A64 connector pin assignments sheet - (http://files.pine64.org/doc/SOPINE-A64/S...er-1.0.pdf) and reference schematics of baseboard and SoPine-A64 SOM - (http://files.pine64.org/doc/SOPINE-A64/S...er-0.9.pdf
http://files.pine64.org/doc/SOPINE-A64/S...170207.pdf).

Query 1: Could you please tell me which one I have to consider as correct one for the SoPine-A64 SOM shown in the pine64 website home page?

Query 2: Could you please let me know how can I get the reference documents for your latest SoPine-A64 SOM ?

Awaiting your reply.
