  barrel size?
Posted by: skipper - 09-23-2017, 11:44 PM - Forum: Rock64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

I'm going to use USB2BARREL PS cables to the ROCK64.
I see in the store that I can buy type H OD: 3.4mm, ID:1.3mm cables. (not sure why I can only add 1 of those to my shopping cart though - no option to increase items, and when I try to go back and add one more to the cart, I'm informed that I cannot add another?)
I have ordered, on amazon, OD: 3.5mm, ID:1.35mm cables.
So my question is: which size is it?


  Launching a terminal app from command line
Posted by: Siliconserf - 09-22-2017, 03:32 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook - Replies (5)

Ok, I have been trying to launch a program from a desktop script file. This failed miserably until I wrote the code:


Code:
Version=1.0
Name=Manuskriptlauncher
mate=terminal -- working-directory= .. -e 'manuskript=develop/bin/manuskript'

Double-clicking on the icon for this file on the desktop results in a mate-terminal window. This first window complains:

"The child process exited normally with status 0"

Then application starts with a dialog window that asks for an output option, accepts "Terminal". The dialog then exits and a GUI window opens with the main program. The program outputs status messages to the second terminal window. No problems. But when I exit the program the second mate-terminal now complains of the same "The child process...". Both mate-terminal windows remain up.

Launching the program from a terminal window by hand results in the output option dialog, followed by the program. No "child..." messages in the mate-terminal window. Exiting the program collapses both windows without apparent warnings. Alternately, closing the mate-window kills off the main program. This is the preferred behavior.

So, I would like the behavior of the system when launching from the script to be the same as invoking the program from the command - one terminal and no silly "child..." messages. Am I right in thinking there a property of the desktop launch script that is set wrong?


  Won't power on/boot -- kickstarter A64 2GB
Posted by: fuzzycuffs - 09-22-2017, 02:09 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (3)

Kickstarter backer, finally getting to playing with my A64+ 2gb

Using the new Etcher image burner on a Transcend 300x 16gb card UHS-1

No matter what image I use (Android, Linux, RemixOS, etc.), won't boot.

Power supply is a 5V 2.5A power supply I use with my Raspberry Pi 3 which works fine

Symptoms:

Red LED works/on when USB power is plugged in
HDMI out makes the monitor turn on, then off because 'no signal is detected', turns back on, turn off no signal -- keeps repeating

I'm unsure if this is power supply, memory card, or simply bunk A64 related.

Any help?


  Rock64 Power Supply Polarity
Posted by: marillionkb5 - 09-22-2017, 01:31 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (15)

Hi Folks,

Have just got a Rock64, not with the power supply though, so have picked a suitable one up from my
local electronics store. Does anyone know what the power supply pin polarity should be ?

Tip positive or tip negative ? Would rather not blow the board up ;-) I did look at schematics but electronics was
never my strong suit :-)

Thanks again !


  SD Card Doesn't Boot Rock64
Posted by: phredman98 - 09-21-2017, 05:18 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (3)

I just got my Rock64 and used the pine64 installer from pine64dev's github and installed Debian Stretch Minimal to my 32gb sd card. However, when I plug in the Rock64 and insert the sd card, nothing happens on screen. Am I doing something wrong? All 3 leds are on and I can turn the red and white ones off by holding the power button, but nothing happens on screen.


  Netbeans

Hi,

Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Anybody know why?


  MAC address changing
Posted by: WhiskerBiscuit - 09-21-2017, 02:37 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (2)

I like to used reversed ips and have my router assign the ip address based upon the MAC address of the network adapter.

So I find the IP address (172.16.90) assigned to the rock, and then assign an ip addressed to that MAC address. I reboot, and I can't ping it.  I look again and I see the Rock has now gotten 172.16.0.90 again.  I figure I made a mistake so I create a new one.  The same thing happens.  I'm looking at my reservations and sure enough I'm seeing different mac addresses for "linaro-alip".  I SSH into the terminal and "ip a" confirms that I'm getting a different MAC address.

What is going on here?


  Incomplete order received
Posted by: WhiskerBiscuit - 09-21-2017, 01:18 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (1)

I just opened up my order, and while there was a nice big plastic box for the EMMC chip, it was completely empty.  Not even foam packaging inside.  Anyone else have a problem with their order?

  Software images
Posted by: WhiskerBiscuit - 09-19-2017, 08:01 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

I'm looking at the distros on the Wiki and see that there are distros for a microSD boot device.  Will this also work if I burn the image to a EEMC device?
