  Ubuntu buil 0.5.5-65 Audio stopped output
Posted by: nicole.f - 06-26-2017, 02:55 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook - Replies (2)

Hi,
it is a pretty weird, but the audio output of my Pinebook 11.6" stopped working - but is still working in Android.

I have Android (from factory) on eMMC and Ubuntu with Mate desktop build 0.5.5-65 on microSD card. I used it to watch Youtube videos including audio using SMplayer. It worked nicely all night, using the speakers and using headphones.

Next day I resumed the device and every since I can not hear anything from the device, neither speaker not headphones. I checked the mixer and Pulse audio settings and can not find anything suspicious - though I have to admit that alsamixer exposes way too many mixers. Most of them I can not tell their function.

I also compared the default /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf with the one on the device in order to find any mixer misconfig, but they are identical.

Currently all audio playback seems to run fine, all players play as expected but there is no audible output.

If I reboot into Android again everything seems to be normal.

Any idea?

Thanks!

Cheers

  emmc upgrade
Posted by: eclay - 06-26-2017, 01:19 PM - Forum: Pinebook Hardware and Accessories - Replies (3)

Are there plans to make available the upgrade 32GB and larger emmc modules?  I see that they mention out of stock and only available for May 22nd 2017(last month).


  Rock64
Posted by: xxvolwarexx - 06-26-2017, 12:57 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (7)

Does anyone know if the Rock64 is also "Open Source Hardware" like the Pine64 board was? In other words, will all of the hardware documentation be available in the event that developers and hardware hackers want to take the existing design and modify it to their specifications for commercial use (while still operating under the Open Source licensing)?


Thank you!


  How to write image to emmc module on the pinebook
Posted by: eclay - 06-26-2017, 11:27 AM - Forum: Pinebook Hardware and Accessories - Replies (16)

Hello,

I've just received my pinebook today and am curious as to how one would write the OS image directly to the emmc module?  I've seen where the pine64-installer has an option to write to an emmc but it seems like this tool is for a x86/x86_64 system which the pine isn't.  Is there some emmc to usb adapter one would need to do this or is there some magic I'm missing?


Information Pinebook's battery flat on arrival
Posted by: Luke - 06-26-2017, 10:52 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (21)

It appears that many peoples' Pinebooks arrived with completely drained batteries. This has likely been caused by the units not being shut down poperly at the factory: 

Quote:13:35:07 <tllim> @ayufan, we suspect production people not totally shut down during production time 
 
For those unfortunate of you who received their Pinebooks with flat batteries please let the units charge for a long time - 2hrs at the very least. 

If you still get a flashing red battery symbol on the screen after 2+hrs or charing, remove and reinsert the power cable a few times (10+) and let it charge for another few hours. 

This issue with be addressed for future shipments. 

If you have any further questions or experience problems make sure to post below or join in the IRC. You can also file a support ticket if need be here.

  A64-DB-2G-Rev B not booting with LCD
Posted by: negativ3 - 06-26-2017, 05:18 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (8)

Hi,

I have the above mentioned board with only the LCD (pine kit LCD) connected.

android ver 6.0.1 20170209 - 8GB image on uSD with Etcher.

With the SD in, the power light is on briefly (<2 secs) then off, drawing approx 300mA during this time.

With SD out, the board just sits at approx 100mA current draw and does nothing as expected.

With SD in and LCD disconnected, the board seems to boot with varying current draw up to 650mA across 2 minutes.

Does this indicate a bad LCD or do you have any suggestions what to try to fault find?

Thanks

Hi, just want to share a little idea (already tested) that I am using to 'assist' my Pine64+ board to boot...

My Pine64 has some kind of boot problem, it only run normally somewhere around 30% of the time (out of 10 times, only 3 boot is successful), perhaps a little more or little less...

Unable to understand the problem to try a correction, I had the idea of putting a microcontroller to issue a hardware-reset to the Pine64, every time that the Pine does not boot normally...

Well, the first prototype is working, need some fine tunning and improvements but the overall idea works...

[Image: co-pine-on-photo-zoom-small.jpg]

For the moment, this is the only "stable" way I found to solve the boot issue I am having with my Pine64, and since I want to test/use/learn more this 64bit hardware with 64bit OS, it will be the *solution* for while...

The whole thing is documented and all the files are available:
HOWTO:
http://www13.plala.or.jp/pskitty/copineon.html

GitHub files:

Not a really good solution for people who have the same problem but can help depending on the reasons and goals in mind...

Regards all,
Valter
