  128Mbit SPI flash uses
Posted by: bobpaul - 05-04-2017, 05:41 PM - Forum: P64-LTS / SOPINE Hardware, Accessories and POT - No Replies

Is the SPI flash programmed at the factory with necessary boot code, or is that just there for us to use in our own applications? It looks like the PINE64 has an EMMC instead of a SPI flash and Linux-SunXI wiki says SPI-flash has a lower boot priority than SD-Card, so I'm assuming it's presently unused.

If it's available for us to use without breaking the boot process, we're thinking we might store device specific calibration values there rather than on the SD-Card. Has anyone played around with the SPI flash yet? From the above SunXI page I get the feeling that drives might not yet be in the kernel.

  BMA223 accelerometer
Posted by: combs - 05-03-2017, 01:08 PM - Forum: Pinebook Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

Does the production Pinebook include a BMA223 accelerometer on the onboard I2C bus, as mentioned on the linux-sunxi list back in February?

if so, anyone done anything fun with it?

curious what it would be used for in a machine w/ no spinning disks  Cool

Any guesses how long we'd be waiting if we signed up now?


  Error in Pinouts document
Posted by: bobpaul - 05-03-2017, 11:24 AM - Forum: P64-LTS / SOPINE Hardware, Accessories and POT - Replies (1)

I've found some disagreement between the Pinouts document (v1.0) and the schematics  for the SOPINE (v0.9) and the SOPINE Baseboard (v0.9). Usually the two Schematics agree, but not always. Some of these errors are quite serious and I suspect the Pinouts was an early document that wasn't fully updated after the final schematic materialized.

I did not list times where the Schematics called a pin "PC3" and the pinout called it "PC3_FUNCTION". But I did list times where it's pretty clear the same function is just being called by different names (ex LCD-PWM vs PL10-S_PWM)

Since I couldn't figure out how to do table layout on this forum, here's a Google Sheet with the discrepancies:

For those who hate google, I've also attached screenshots.

  Ubuntu Xenial - Firefox add support for H264 and EAC3
Posted by: klode - 05-02-2017, 08:18 AM - Forum: Ubuntu - Replies (1)

Hi,
I'm working on Ubuntu Xenial 16.04. I've installed Firefox 52.0.2 32bit, and it Worked fine.
However, for HTML5, I've made a test and he got me I haven't support for x264, x265 and dolby audio formats.

Since NetFlix has enabled streaming through HTML5 for Linux, even for Firefox, I want to know how can I enable this formats.

I've installed gstreamer1, x264 and other stuff, but nothing for gstreamer1-plugins-ffmpeg. Does I need to reinstall firefox, after I've installed gstreamer1 and x264?


  No HDMI Output

I had installed Android 6.0 running properly but yesterday I changed the TV and did not show nothing on TV, I put the Pine64 where I was continuing, with the same problem. I have reinstalled Android using the app and it still does not work.
