  height between stock heatsink and bottom
Posted by: schepers_cp - 08-13-2017, 12:32 PM - Forum: Pinebook Hardware and Accessories - Replies (5)

basically i want to know what the free height is of the pinebook's mainboard's thermal spreader and the bottom panel, as i want to improve cooling (and perhaps overclock a little) once mine arrives so it doesnt thermal throttle anymore.

any idea how much space free there is? :O

if barely none, then i'll mount a 0.2mm copper film on part the backside, to spread out the heat.

  Thermal pads inside were installed the wrong way
Posted by: hene - 08-13-2017, 08:02 AM - Forum: Pinebook Hardware and Accessories - Replies (6)

I just disassembled my Pinebook and noticed the thermal pads were installed in wrong order. If possible could anyone else from the latest shipment check if their one is done right. If this is just isolated case.
So how they should be placed afaik is that the bigger pad is on the CPU (big A64 label) and smaller one on AXP803. Mine were reversed.


  Switch inside the case
Posted by: hene - 08-13-2017, 04:24 AM - Forum: Pinebook Hardware and Accessories - Replies (3)

I wonder what the switch inside the case on motherboard does? Also I'd like to know what the small button does? I assume it's battery disconnect.

Thanks


  Rock64 - Use as desktop
Posted by: tbalci - 08-13-2017, 03:01 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (17)

Hi,

I am considering setting up Rock64 as a desktop system. I am comfortable with Linux, so the flavor really does not matter.

What I want to achieve is a complete desktop solution with Rock64 + Wifi + 64 GB eMMC.
 
My questions are:

  • Do the Linux images released contain all the drivers needed? In other words, will I be able to assemble the system, flash the eMMC, boot and everything just works? 
  • Does the distros available for download use their official repositories (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch... ) or do we need to use ayufan's repositories?
  • Can we enable distro's official ARM repository and be able to download software, or are we restricted to Pine64 repositories?
  • I see the A/V jack on the board. Is this for a general purpose 3.5 mm sound jack?
To be absolutely honest, I want to be a bit comfortable - I am fine with Linux, terminal and troubleshooting, but not so far up to drivers or other low level tasks. So I'd like to have a working system as a baseline to start with.

These are the questions that are holding me back from ordering, really.

Thank you for your replies!

Regards


  +PINEBOOK: Newbie Trying to Compile RStudio On Pinebook
Posted by: MiningBrutus - 08-12-2017, 02:56 PM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (3)

Hello Pine64 Community,

I am new to Linux and am trying to get Rstudio on my Pinebook with Q40s installed on the emmc module.  I found instructions from:

 http://herb.h.kobe-u.ac.jp/raspiinfo/rstudio_en.html who documents their experience on a Raspberry Pi 2/3, but I have encountered errors.. Also note that I  did not edit or create a swapfile (I had trouble / didnt feel comfortable, but I also didnt use nano.. I tried just in the GUI with the default program and got a permissions error). Also I didn't mess with the shell... so pretty much everything in the "Requirements" section I passed by  Blush

Aside from the first section I followed their instructions exactly although with my corresponding directories...

But, I get to the line..

cmake .. -DRSTUDIO_TARGET=Desktop -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

When I execute the command and I am experiencing an error.. here is what the output says in my terminal..

Code:
root@pine64:/home/adminq/Documents/rstudio/build# cmake .. -DRSTUDIO_TARGET=Desktop -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

So, would anyone be able to assist me with troubleshooting?

Question Survey - Dead Pixels
Posted by: MiningBrutus - 08-12-2017, 02:42 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (30)

I was curious about the frequency of dead pixels on the various Pinebook models... Would anyone care to share their experiences?

Mine is a 14" and came with 1.


Note: Definitely not putting Pinebooks down.. These are sweet machines


Information Flood of basic linux questions
Posted by: skot - 08-12-2017, 01:28 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (4)

Can there be a separate section for newbie linux and android questions that don't specifically have to do with the pinebook?

Things like how do I compile xyz, or what program can I use to do abc?

I'm here to learn and help with the development of THIS device. When I purchased it, I was repeatedly warned that the decide was NOT intended for everyday use, or unexperienced linux users. I believe the price point has helped cause part of this. I'm not saying they should go (but they should learn to google and look on ubuntu/arch forums, or even the pine wikl!), I just think it'd be nice to separate them from the important sections.

What does everyone else think?


  Rock64 - Windows 10
Posted by: bardude84 - 08-12-2017, 12:28 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (5)

Just discovered all of this, this week, so sorry for the newb question and sorry if it is mentioned somewhere else but I did not see it posted.

Is there a Windows 10 image being worked on for the Rock64? I would love to build one of these and replace a 2nd Gen Roku with one. I would like to build it as a Windows HTPC. I am just comfortable with Windows and feel like it would be the easiest for anyone that would use this in my house that is not IT savvy like myself.


Would the Android or one of the Linux images be a great solution for what I want to use this for?


Thanks,


  No WiFi or Bluetooth on A64+ 1Gb
Posted by: Greekislandlover - 08-12-2017, 12:17 PM - Forum: Armbian - Replies (5)

Hi,

This is a new board with built in WiFi and Bluetooth - neither work.

In Bluetooth manager I get the message "Connection to BlueZ failed. BlueZ daemon is not running, bluetooth manager cannot continue".  I've tried sudo apt-get install bluetooth and bluez and updated, upgraded. Still no luck on bluetooth with the ethernet connection in or out.

Same with the WiFi. The land cable can be in or out and either way add connection WiFi all the boxes are greyed out.

I'd like to get them working if poss. Any clues please?

Thanks
