Lightbulb Is possible Kano OS?
Posted by: kurai021 - 01-30-2018, 10:39 PM - Forum: General - Replies (2)

Hi, as they title say, is possible yo port and boot Kano OS in Pine and Pinebook?, could be great, Kano complete kit is not really affordable, but the software have something special for children, much more eye-catching and intuitive than Ubuntu for Pine and more useful than stock Android for education


  eMMC card on adapter
Posted by: Malmgren - 01-30-2018, 12:14 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (8)

Hi.
I feel kinda stupid having to ask (and it's also a bit off topic), but I bought an USB-eMMC adapter for flashing the image for my new Rock64 and I really can't understand how the card is supposed to fit on the adapter. I bought it from, eBay here.

I know I should probably have bought the one from Pine, but I thought since I'm just gone use it one time... Anyway, is there different kind of eMMC connectors or what? Have I bought the wrong kind of adapter?

  Sopine Complete Guide
Posted by: parmleyhunt - 01-30-2018, 09:41 AM - Forum: Linux on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - Replies (4)

Is there any available documentation on further expanding the Sopine baseboard and/or the GPIO pi-2 and euler bus I have an available pin out list and have successfully tested in and out via custom script. As far as i can search there is not actual documentation, i would not consider myself a noob but going through a 207 page specification and only finding information that doesnt have anything todo with what i want to know. If there is something i would like the link, or if anyone is also interested in this I would be willing to collaborate to make a "plain english" documentation source

Star 2 Year Anniversary
Posted by: beard - 01-28-2018, 07:03 AM - Forum: General - Replies (9)

Good Day Fellow Contributors,

It has been over 2 Years now since I first got a "beta" tester board, and started messing in the Pine eco system.
I decided to get out that same board, and see if it still works. I've gotten Debian Stretch to boot with little to no issues.
I'm interested in the retro gaming market, and will be possibly making an emulator for certain retro consoles for ARM.

If any of you guys are interested in the Emulator project, leave me your suggestions.
Also how long have you been a contributor to the Pineverse?

  Rock64 USB
Posted by: 11b2p508 - 01-27-2018, 12:33 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (2)

Just purchased a Rock64 and items.  Have not got it yet, will have more questions probably.

Thought occurred to me, has anyone hooked up USB 3.0 hubs or 2.0 hubs, and used them for I/O port expansion through USB successfully/unsuccesssfully?

If so what were your experiences?  Did it work as it should?

So a little background, though I have not done anything with a Rock64 yet, but spent 30+ years working Unix/Linux so will see how I fair with this.


Lightbulb MPP+DRM: low level API for video codecs and display (also 4k UHD+HDR+HLG)
Posted by: mcerveny - 01-27-2018, 11:23 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

Hello.

I prepared and tested "mpi_dec.c" application to test low level access hardware accelerated video decoders for everyone interested Smile .
You can use this application as benchmark and feature tester of your Rock64 (not video player).
There are few sample results of not PTS synchronized maximum speed decoding and display (min CPU freq set 1008MHz and DDR set to 933MHz and decoder set to 600MHz, testing videos are mostly "Big Buck Bunny"):

Code:
Format            Decoder    Avg result (FPS)
1080p60           hevc       310
1080p60           h264       251
2160p30           h264       64
2160p60           hevc       76
2160p60           h264       65
2160p60hdr        hevc       57
2160p60hdr/hlg    hevc       70

Source for "mpi_dec.c" and detailed description is https://github.com/mcerveny/utils. There are  many hints to check if playing hardware accelerated video. You can also study issues (for Kodi/Plex/LibreELEC) like Kwiboo/linux-rockchip#22.

Happy hacking and buy me a Beer.
