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.

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.

I have one of the original Pine64 boards that works perfectly -- even with this keyboard, just as background.

I just received 2 brand new Pine-64 LTS boards and have 2 problems:

1) Can't boot the same image as the older board and I can't find a way to 'convert' the image to be able to use it. So I burned a new card.
2) New card boots just fine. I get a 'pine64so login: ' prompt. But it does not recognize the keyboard input.

It's admittedly a Mac Keyboard, but the same keyboard works with the older Pine64. 

It's currently booted via battery since I didn't realize there was no more USB power in, and I neglected to order the 5v power supplies. 

Thanks!

Hello everyone, I'm Matteo. A few days ago I'm trying to install a web environment on 4GB Rock64. I tried both with Debian and Ubuntu, but I had installation errors on MariaDB and PHP. Sometimes I've had kernel panics.  
What can I do?
What is the best distro to make a LAMP environment on Rock64?
thanks.

I picked up a sopine clusterboard with a bunch of computing modules. I am curious about how one loads os onto the compute modules. Do I need to get a usb finger drive for each compute module and plug it into the usb slot? Is the usb slot for the cluster usb 2.0 or 3.0?

Thanks,
