Update: Using dtb file included in the kernel-core package solved this problem.
I have two Pine A64 boards, one with 1GB RAM and one with 2GB. I plugged the Wifi/BT module into the 1GB board but accidentally plugged it in off by one pin on the connectors. The board booted up, but restarted a couple of times before finally coming up. Naturally, it did not recognize the Wifi module. When I saw my mistake, I removed power and repositioned the module. It still did not recognize the module. I tried plugging the module on the 2GB board and it worked fine. I tried the module I originally had on the 2GB board on the 1GB board and it didn't recognize that one either.
So final result: the 2GB board sees both Wifi/BT modules, but the 1GB board doesn't see either one. I'm guessing I smoked the interface on the 1GB board. Everything else appears to be working on it so far. Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm finding it impossible to work with GPIO and wanted to connect a small servo motor to the Pine64 in order to control it.
In this particular case I want to set 2 particular degrees depending on a variable.
With an Arduino, this is basic: Servo.attach(#controlpin); Servo.write(#angle);
A Linux image with DRM + Mali is now available for the Pinebook and other A64 Pine platforms. To find out more and where to get the image from please read this post.
Known issues on Pinebook at the time of writing:
Brightness control does not work
LCD backlight doesn't come back on after resuming from suspend
Suspend doesn't work
Sound is broken
Accelerated video playback in VLC and SMplayer is broken
Also, do show ayufan some appreciation for pumping out new images and improving the things that we asked for!
Note: The issue with the pine64_enable_sunxidrm.sh should have been resolved in the 0.7.2 release.
These news will certainly make many of you quite happy. Ayufan has released first pre-release images with DRM and Mali for all A64 platforms. Now head over and click the paypal (ayufan@osk-net.pl) in his signature and buy him a beer
edit: also huge thanks to lennyraposo !
Do note that these are pre-release images so things may not be at their optimal performance or work as intended.
Those of you who wish contribute to development - make sure to take a look in ayufan's git.
The images for the respective platforms can be downloaded here
To enable the new features run:
Code:
sudo /usr/local/sbin/pine64_enable_sunxidrm.sh
and reboot.
N.B. If you are upgrading from an earlier image (prior to 0.7.0) you will also need to add the following PPA and run an update prior to doing the above:
As the thread says, I would like to have an alternativ eto this horrible built in keyboard on my 14" Pinebook.
I'm an i3 user on the pinebook and this keyboard is just awful
It often does not recognize keystrokes and the spacebar is pretty much broken.
I was told to ask tllim if he ever comes back online in the irc, but I haven't got the chance to do so.
So, is there a way to replace the keyboard with a better alternative?
