  USB Mic + HDMI Speaker
Posted by: jack_shepherd - 11-27-2017, 03:27 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - No Replies

Hello guys!
I installed Bliss OS on Pine A64+ 2GB. Pine connected via HDMI to TV. When I plug Mini USB Microphone the speakers of TV and 3,5 mm jack speakers/headphones doesn't work. Restart doesn't help. But microphone and speakers works fine separately. In settings it shows that everything's OK.
Please help me, what should I do to work speakers and mic both in Pine?


  PS on wire
Posted by: larsen8989 - 11-25-2017, 11:19 PM - Forum: DC Power In - No Replies

Does anyone know how to wire a ps_on wire to the pine so it only kicks my power supply on when the board it's self is booting up. the power supply I'm using has a 3A 5v always on connector to keep the power buttons working and then another wire to sense when the board boots up. it's for an atx board and is a bit overkill for the pine but it works any help is appreciated.


  Pine64 + Youtube TV Performance
Posted by: mikedice417 - 11-25-2017, 10:36 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - No Replies

Hi Folks,
I don't have that much experience with Android or Pine64. I tried watching the Trailblazers game on Youtube TV app last night. The playback performance was poor. Choppy video and the app user interface (scrolling, searching etc.) were also very slow. I connected the adb and ran 'top' command from adb shell. I noted the Youtube TV app holding around 15% CPU. Is this just a poorly performing app or is it maybe something wrong with my hardware or configuration of hardware?

My Setup

  • Pine64 2GB
  • HDMI output to DVI on a Dell U2715H Display
  • MSFT Wireless Desktop 5000 Keyboard/Mouse
  • Pine bluetooth + wi-fi add-on board
  • Ethernet 100GB
  • 5v 2.5A micro-USB power adapter I got from Amazon. BTW, the quality and amperage rating of the power supply makes a big difference with my board. Probably this is the reason for a lot of the mysterious issues people see with these boards.
Thanks,
Mike

  keyboard/mouse freeze after 2-3 seconds on Debian
Posted by: Davo-CC - 11-24-2017, 08:22 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (4)

I'm still doing my early tests and I'm not that familiar with this particular Debian build (I'm using the stock Debian build that is delivered by the pine64-installer application using the stock downloaded image).

I'm finding now that keyboard/mouse is freezing after about 2-3 seconds after reboot.  It works when the GUI is presented but then stops.  I'm trying to reconfigure the network addressing so I can't SSH into the device or read logs;  other than fry the build I'm a little unsure of the source of this problem.

Gear is a generic USB keyboard and a simple Logitech USB wireless mouse (worked well earlier on the same build), it seems to be an issue after reboot (soft or hard/switch).

Are there any suggestions or should I fry this build and re-do it?


  Power Supply and Sinks for multi-Rock64 env
Posted by: Davo-CC - 11-23-2017, 05:55 PM - Forum: Rock64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

My first Rock64-2gig arrived today, quite a surprising device especially considering its price.  

I’m testing CPU mining (magi-coin) right now, if it proves viable I might put a small array of these together to chomp on coin at low power/heat ratios. 
Right now I’m using a USB > 3.5mm barrel jack converter cable coming off one of those dedicated Anker multi-port USB charger devices (the kind that put out decent USB power).  I have seen some which claim to output 3w per outlet, I was wondering if this arrangement would suffice for running a number of Rock64’s off a single point;  the numbers seem to make sense but I’ve only done this for one point so far.  Does it sound like a viable option longer term?

Secondly – I wanted to passively cool them with a tall/large heat sink and no fan, I’ve seen some solutions involving rather tall-fin heat sinks or even a copper plate bridging a larger surface area cooler (as Christopher Barnatt did on a Pi v3 in this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AYGnw6MwFM).

This would be run in a fairly open air setup (not enclosed in a case), the CPU of each device would be at or near 100% 24/7.   To keep the CPUs within temperature range and to avoid throttling – is something like Christopher’s idea more practical or is there a preferred method of passive cooling that people have had more success with?  Or does it absolutely need powered cooling?  (ambient temperature here is typically high teens to low 20’s Celsius).

So far I’ve been unable to get LMSensor reading CPU temperatures but I’ve only just started investigating the builds (using the stock Debian distro which seems to be 64-bit from what I can ascertain).


  Order #54101 - on hold?
Posted by: shockr - 11-23-2017, 05:26 PM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (5)

Hi,

I placed an order on the PINE store about 2 days ago and made payment with PayPal, but I got an email stating that the order is on hold until payment is confirmed received, which is weird since PayPal payments are supposed to be instant.

My order also includes a 2GB ROCK64, and there's a new note on the item that they won't ship out until December 12, which wasn't there when I placed my order. Will this affect my order? If yes, would that delay all items in the order until December 12 or just the ROCK64 board?

Finally, can I get a confirmation of the date when all items in my order will be sent out?

Thanks.


  UK Power Adapter?
Posted by: dejan - 11-23-2017, 11:46 AM - Forum: Pinebook Hardware and Accessories - Replies (5)

Is the original Pinebook power adapter standard - can I buy a 5V 3A UK adapter from some other vendor as I see that you guys do not provide adapter for UK customers (or if you do please give me the link)...


  Android Regular images are Android TV images
Posted by: Nurza - 11-22-2017, 10:41 AM - Forum: Android on Rock64 - Replies (8)

Hello ! I bought a Rock64 today and I am trying to install regular on it (not android tv).

I tried some images :

https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/android-7.1/releases (android-7.1-rock-64-rock64_regular-v0.3.11-r108-raw.img.gz)
http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/ROCK64_...ndroid_7.x (Android 7.1.2 Stock Image [microSD Boot] [Rooted] [20171012])

But after booting these images are showing an Android TV display :

Is it normal ? Thank you a lot !
