  Frustrated beyond belief
Posted by: mcrognale - 12-22-2017, 07:17 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (3)

I purchased the Pine64 LTS, eMMC 64GB module and the device for programming the module. I used Apple-Pi Baker to write what I thought was the correct image for Android and the 7 inch touch screen to the eMMC. I carefully placed the module in the slot and.....nothing. No boot no image nothing.  Will someone kindly tell me what image to use so the 7inch touch screen device will actually work in Android?  Confused

Please help.

Thanks,
Mike


Question Building a PineTab?
Posted by: wogi - 12-22-2017, 05:41 PM - Forum: Pinebook Hardware and Accessories - Replies (6)

Hi, i'm Wolfgang from germany.

Has anybody already thought about building a tablet based on the hardware of the Pinebook?

It would be great to have a large size touch display (14 inch). As operating system i think of KDE plasma mobile with concept x, to have a desktop if there will be a keyboard connected. To get a low profile casing, the hdmi und usb port could possibly be changed to micro hdmi (type D) and micro usb (type B). The battery should be placed beside the mainboard ...

It would be nice, if the RAM memory could be increased to 4GB. And it would be perfect to integrate a LTE module.

What do you think about that?

I'm curious!


  Debian Stretch + Kodi possible?
Posted by: cpocarlos - 12-22-2017, 01:08 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (6)

I have the Rock64 4GB board and I would like use it like a NAS with Kodi. By the moment not exist an OS for Rock64 similar to the old OMSC, xbian or other similars to Rpi.

I installed the last Debian Stretch 0.5.15-136-20171222 and try to install Kodi.
I am not a Linux expert, I just check any update and make a "apt-get install kodi". The install fiinished without any error, but when I try to run kodi (from Desktop or console) it does not start, the message I get by console is "libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate"

I tried to search related info in forums related with Rpi or arm devices but I do not have nothing clear about the error.

Does somebody know if is possible have Debian and Kodi running on Rock64? Can somebody try to help me or give me some advise?


Thanks, regards


  Thinking about byuing a Rock64 and some question before
Posted by: Osiander - 12-22-2017, 07:23 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (2)

Hello together,

I'm thinking about byuing a Rock64 with 4GB board for my next project.

Here are the "must haves" for my project:

  • running mainline kernel
  • hardware video decoding
  • working I²S interface (just playback, so output)
  • working I²C
  • GPIO

Why is mainline a must have: the project is a kind of media center, but for a car and fully integrated into present bus system. To control and integrate them I have to implement an own kernel module for bus transceiver IC and I'm not in the mood to mess around with old stuff (like 3.x kernel).

I had a look into 4.14.8 kernel tree and find a DTS for Rock64, so I²C looks good. I²S is not enabled in this DTS, but in rk3328.dtsi is configured, as compatible to rk3066. The driver rockchip_i2s.c in sound/soc/rockchip/ defined as compatible to rk3066, so it looks promising.

Many thanks Smile


  Does AP w/ hostapd with official wifi dongle work?
Posted by: Arsiesys - 12-21-2017, 06:00 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (5)

Hello,

I am seriously thinking to buy a rock64 with the official wifi dongle antenna :
https://www.pine64.org/?product=rock64-u...au-adapter

Can I build a stable WIFI AP in 5Ghz with this one and the rock64 ?
I am mainly worried about hostapd AP chipset support and kernel driver for the chipset RTL8812AU used by the adapter.

Thanks in advance !

Regards,
Arsiesys


Question Time from purchase to shipping
Posted by: NachoGomez - 12-20-2017, 11:26 AM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (2)

Hello everyone!

I've just bought several Rock64 boards on December 15th and I received acknowledge from Sales team for these orders. 

My question is, how long does it usually takes for an order to be shipped after being placed? So far I haven't received an answer to this question from the sales team.

I hope some of you can shed some light on this issue, is really frustrating not knowing from Pine64 after giving them my money  Tongue

Thank you very much in advance for your time and help, regards...


  Couple questions about the ayufan releases
Posted by: Mrfixit2001 - 12-20-2017, 08:27 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (3)

Recently performed a dist-upgrade to the newest stretch 0.6.3 release from yesterday and happy to report successful HDMI output  Big Grin I just have two lingering questions... 

1- I started with an earlier ayufan release, and I notice each release is accompanied with downloadable Debian packages on github, such as linux-headers, Linux-firmware, Linux-libc... are all of these included in each release of the stretch image by default and will they be auto updated with the dist-upgrade, or should I be manually downloading and installing these?

2 - Does this build support reading boot settings from a custom /boot/config.txt? It's not there by default, and I'm not sure that the settings I'm putting in that file I created are having any effect, so I wanted to check if they are supposed to be getting applied or if there's somewhere else I should be changing  HDMI settings and other boot configurations. 

Thanks in advance for any replies, and thanks ayufan for the awesome work.


  CCC - 34C3 in Leipzig, Germany
Posted by: xalius - 12-20-2017, 06:39 AM - Forum: Community and Events - Replies (2)

Quote:The 34th iteration of the annual Chaos Communication Congress (34C3) will again take place in December, but at a new location: the congress and convention center in Leipzig.

   

The CCC is an annual hacker/tech/politics/art conference held since 1984 in various locations around Germany. I will be going and I know that some other members of the wider Pine64 community are also attending. It would be nice to meet people in person and maybe organize a meet-up or even some lightning talks... 

So who else is going?
