Question where is static IP addr?
Posted by: skipper - 10-06-2017, 12:14 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (15)

Received 2 rock64 - and tinkering with the OS (Xenial-Mate) for a few days - looks good. 
One topic I can't crack is: where does the IP address go when I use the GUI Network-Manager? (rightclick the taskbar icon top-right and edit connections)
I enter (IP4 tab) a fixed IP, netmask, gateway and add 2 nameserver IPs.
When checking (after reboot) I can see (connection information) that all IPs I entered are correct.
Then I go /etc/resolv.conf and see the info there that this file will be overwritten.
/etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0 - shows eth0 as dhcp

Where is the static IP going when I enter it on the IP4 tab?
I'm not a master linux nerd. I do know a great deal of linux - this one, though, is a bit too difficult to solve  Confused

I do most work via putty, but was not able to setup the fixed IP there.
Also - why do I see the rock64 as an internal LAN IP on my router? The fixed IP, which I setup above, is an external IP.

I want to create a small netbook with the pine 4gb that runs linux, since the pinebook seems to suck. Has anyone else attempted this?

  Make a netbook
Posted by: jhip626 - 10-05-2017, 06:26 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (3)

So im considering buying the 4gb pine board to make a sort of a netbook out of it, and run Linux on it. seeing as how the pinebooks have less than stellar reviews, only have 2gb of ram it seems, and the keyboard seems to be pretty crappy. Has anyone done this? How is the performance?

My other concerns are, if I decide to abandon the project, I'd like to at least make a Kodi box, but from what I'm reading, Kodi is only possible if you install Android first. So that makes me want to go with a rpi 3 instead.... What are everyone's thoughts?

  Configure the UART 1 for connecting Bluetooth module
Posted by: channaankit25 - 10-05-2017, 05:39 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (2)

Hi,

I would like to use the uart 1 for connecting the BT module. The UART 2 is used for debug or console logs. 
What steps should I follow to configure the UART 1 in rock64 ? I am using linux image Jessie. 

Do I need to configure both uboot and kernel with GPIO3_A4 as Tx and GPIO3_A6 as Rx pin?.
If it is already configured then which tty port should I connect to?
Can someone please give details for the same?

Is there any documentation for using the GPIO, configuring peripheral drivers?

Regards,
Ankit Channa

Any idea for an instant messenger like Rambox or Franz for arm64?


  unable to deploy my application to the Pine using Visual Studio 2017
Posted by: Matthew - 10-05-2017, 01:59 AM - Forum: Windows 10 IoT - Replies (9)

Hello all,

A customer of ours is trying to deploy their application, see below his email: 

"I'm unable to deploy my application to the Pine using Visual Studio 2017.
 
I remember that I had my the application running on when we received the boards a while back but I was using Visual Studio 2015 then.
 "The application we have developed is a UWP project and not a native Win32 project.

I've followed the steps you pointed to but it did not fix the problem.
It compiles and deploy successfully to a Raspberry Pi running Windows Core."


Please assist? 

Thanks.


  Looking for the Mali support...
Posted by: rondoor - 10-05-2017, 01:20 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook - Replies (1)

Recently, I know there is a way to enable Mali-400 support from here.
https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-build/releases

I did same things as the introduction said, such as installing xserver-xorg-video-armsoc-sunxi and libmali-sunxi-utgard0-r6p0, Updating a kernel, a u-boot and packages. And I executed the script by typing pine64_enable_sunxidrm.sh . Then, it told me to reboot my pinebook. After rebooting, I checked whether the Mali works correctly or not by glmark2. Unfortunately, it said..
GL_VENDOR:     VMware, Inc.

GL_RENDERER:   Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.8, 128 bits)
GL_VERSION:    3.0 Mesa 12.0.6
I thought this meant I failed to enable it. So I tried many times but the results are always same . Sad

How can I enable it? And, did you success to have the Mali work on your pinebook?

I need your advice. And I apologize for my poor english.


  Debian Stretch and Kodi Krypton on Rock64
Posted by: zarusz - 10-04-2017, 11:59 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (28)

Hi All,

I bought a ROCK64 and I am trying to move from my existing RaspberryPi2.
I would  like to go with Debian Stretch and install all my required services (Samba, Kodi, Java 8, openHAB 2.2, mosquitto ...).

The only thing that does not work for me is Kodi. 
During start it screams with some errors (low level C++ free() memory exceptions). Right now I installed the LibreELEC by @Raybuntu, however I would like to stick with Debian Stretch for my other services. I will install Debian once more and try to capture the exact errors.

Did anyone manage to install Kodi on Debian Stretch and could post an instruction?


Thanks!


  Xorg & Mali

Code:
[    11.482] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/rockchip_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/rockchip_dri.so: $

Has anyone managed to get xorg to use the mali yet, its supported just not in the main kernel but struggling with the community images.
Always end up reverting to software rendering and it sucks.

Been through practically all the community images and it seems the same but its really hard to tell if we are running distro xorg or the rockchip xorg.

Its supposedly supported but with what we have it doesn't seem to be.

rockchip_dri.so doesn't even exist


  Replacing switches
Posted by: Catprog - 10-04-2017, 09:28 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (4)

I am planning to have a shift register control the power and reset buttons.

Do I need a transitor or can I put the output in directly?
