  [PINE A64 2GB Kickstarter]How to boot android from external SSD
Posted by: v1n1c1uS - 01-10-2018, 06:50 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (1)

Hi, guys.

I have an Pine a64 2GB that i'm using as media center (android 6.0 ayufan with kodi app), I have a 16gb micro sd and it is working. But I want to use an 128GB SSD in a usb enclosure with separated power to boot the OS and have extra storage.

I know that I have to maintain the sd connected for boot. All tutorials that I found are for linux installations and android does not have the same commands;

So, the question is: How do I use android 6.0 and boot the OS from external SSD?

Thanks in advance.


Exclamation VPN not working at all - Hardware issue
Posted by: milkaca - 01-10-2018, 06:03 PM - Forum: Pinebook Hardware and Accessories - Replies (9)

I just tested VPN on Armbian image on my Pinebook. It looks like Pinebook is having some hardware issues, I am quite sure because I tested VPN on all images and always the same thing. On every single device that I have things are working fine, so it must be some issue with Pinebook itself.

Can you please bring some light to this topic, there are already couple of topics about VPN not working and no response so far??? It would be at least fair to tell us that VPN is not possible on Pinebook at all.

Thank you.


  Zwave module on LTS
Posted by: saileshrajk - 01-10-2018, 04:56 PM - Forum: P64-LTS / SOPINE Hardware, Accessories and POT - Replies (2)

Hi,
Any idea if the Z-Wave module for both Pine64+ and LTS are the same? i.e. will the one bought for pine64+ work on LTS?

I currently have xenial-minimal from ayufan-pine64 repositories, ubuntu-mate installed.
I have also installed Openhabian from here (manual steps)

https://docs.openhab.org/installation/op...nual-setup.
+
Its all up and running.


When I install the z-wave binding and try to get the z-wave serial controller, it says port /dev/ttyS1 or S0 does not exist.

Any idea as to how to get this work?
The same z-wave module was working fine on another Pine64+ board

Thanks
Sailesh

  Pine64 installer way slow flashing
Posted by: Paraplegic Racehorse - 01-10-2018, 10:57 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (2)

I just did a speed test. The pine64-Installer, while very convenient, is also super slow.

Flashing the same Debian image to same brand SD card (supplied by Pine at purchase of my boards) using same adapter on same computer running Ubuntu 17.10 Budgie

| _flash_tool_ | _time_to_flash_ |
| Pine64-installer | 32 mins |
| linux dd | 4 mins |

Both cards work fine.

Didn't test basic Etcher.

***

What gives?
Has anyone else noticed this?

  USB 3.0 Portable HDD - Suggestions
Posted by: thewonderer - 01-09-2018, 08:38 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (8)

Hi,

I'm looking at buying a large portable HDD.  There is a WD 3TB USB elements portable that looks ideal.  I've been reading about USB 3 performance on the rock64 and how there is a JM chipset that gives best performance.

I wanted to ask other users what suggestions / experiences they have with USB 3 drives and throughput / reliability before buying a drive.

My rock64 will be an always on box and a NAS.

Thanks in advance.


  Booting from eMMC
Posted by: saileshrajk - 01-08-2018, 01:09 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - Replies (12)

Hi,
I just received my Pine64-LTS version with 64GB eMMC. I am having major issues trying to boot from the emmc.
I have tried the following 

Downloaded the images from 
https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-build/releases

mainly 

jessie-minimal-pine64-0.7.19-118.img.xz and xenial-minimal-pine64-bspkernel-0.7.19-118.img.xz

1. I then wrote the image to SD card and booted the Pine, which is fine.
2. Followed the instruction to 

sudo ./pine64_update_kernel.sh 0.7.19
sudo ./pine64_update_uboot.sh 0.7.19
sudo ./pine64_update_package.sh 0.7.19

3. executed sudo ./pine64_install........to_emmc.sh xenial-minimal 0.7.19

4. Tried setting the following
emmc_compat=on
emmc_compat=150mhz
emmc_compat=200mhz

5. removed the SD
6 booted with eMMC

I get nothing.

Does the boot take very long as compared to SD (i have left it for few hours)? I get nothing.
I have also tried to burn the above image directly to the emmc without any luck.

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks
Sailesh


  flash image directly to eMMC?
Posted by: gmruiz - 01-07-2018, 06:55 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (4)

Hello,
It´s the first time that I use a eMMC module, and I have one question. I have bought the USB adapter for eMMC module (https://www.pine64.org/?product=usb-adap...mmc-module), and I have tested that is possible to flash images to the USB with the eMMC module. My question is if it's possible to flash an image direcly to the USB and the connect the eMMC module to the ROCK64 to boot, or if it's necesary to do the process with the sdcard and the jumper. if not, what is the reason?

Thank you in advance,
Gregorio Martinez.
