  Love RemixOS but 1 issue
Posted by: elpipetuanis - 01-23-2017, 08:54 PM - Forum: Remix OS - Replies (2)

It is working pretty good so far. I am using the latest image from a few weeks ago. Got it from the wiki. The issue is there is no option to choose between HDMI sound and the headphone jack on the board. It would be nice to have that option. I'm not sure if that is part of the OS to begin with though.

I have it plugged in to a monitor through HDMI and the monitor has sound output. I don't want to rely on the output from the monitor I would like it going through the jack on the board.

  Automotive Grade Linux
Posted by: mbt28 - 01-23-2017, 10:29 AM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (9)

Hello,

Anybody has any experiences on automotive grade linux on pine64? The structure of compiling the distribution looks quite complex. I will write down my experiences if I can make it run on pine64 2gb.

Thanks


  Bus Performance
Posted by: JCMPine64 - 01-23-2017, 09:20 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (2)

I have Dokuwiki running on my Pine64 and it works great.  Performance is good, but I wonder if it could be better?  I have the OS and the Dokuwiki configuration on a microSD card and the Dokuwiki data files on an SSD attached via USB.

Does anyone have thoughts on whether or not I should try and located the Dokuwiki configuration files (/var/www/wiki) to the SSD?  At best, this might save me all of 1/2 second on page displays, so it's probably a fool's errand.

Bonus question: Would testing this be as simple as renaming /var/www/wiki to /var/www/wikiback and creating a symbolic link to the SSD files at /var/www/wiki?

Thanks,
John


  Rock Solid Pine64
Posted by: JCMPine64 - 01-23-2017, 09:12 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (1)

Kudos to the Pine64 team.  I was a Kickstarter backer for the 2GB model, and it's been rock solid.  Well, other than the 2 times I decided to switch around power supplies, but that's my own brand of repetitive stupidity. 

Here's what I have running:
Samba NAS
MiniDLNA
Dokuwiki
Owncloud

It's never crashed.  I don't have spectacular uptime statistics because I've messed with the power supplies or done some electrical work on the house on a regular basis.  The biggest hassle I have had was with the initial upload of data into Owncloud, but that was traced to a buggy windows desktop client. 

My next goal is to stand up another owncloud instance on the board I just ordered and set up server-to-server sharing as an offsite backup.

Anyways, thanks for a great platform, and I'm looking forward to the future of Pine64.


  Sopine Module and USB HDMI
Posted by: mbt28 - 01-23-2017, 06:23 AM - Forum: P64-LTS / SOPINE Hardware, Accessories and POT - Replies (1)

Hello,

Is it possible to design usb 3.1 form hdmi output from usb 2.0 output of sopine module? The usb speed is okay with 2.0, I am only asking if it is possible to have hdmi output over usb.

Thanks


  Emulator (possibly retroarch) performance on 6.0 TV?
Posted by: pqueiro - 01-23-2017, 04:16 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (3)

Hey guys

One of my goals with the Pine is to build a little emulator machine just for giggles. My ultimate performance goal would be a Dreamcast emulator, but I'll settle for Mario Kart 64 and be happy with it Smile

So after I gave up on proper 3d acceleration in Linux (lack of drivers and upstream support I guess) I went ahead and installed Ayufan's 6.0 TV Android build, and it's close to perfect Smile

Sound works, image works, my x360 controllers work, Plex works a treat, but performance in N64 games is iffy, borderline playable at best.

So my question is: what are the highest performing emulators for the pine? I'm most interested in N64 right now, but I'll take advice on any Nintendo or Sega platform (S/NES, GB*, Genesis, Saturn, DC, etc) and even the PS1, though that's the bottom of my priority list.

Right now I have retroarch 1.3.6 installed from the playstore. I configured the basics (directories, controllers, etc) and installed a bunch of cores from the online updater; it all mostly works, but the N64 shows very poor performance. I'm assuming I could've chosen better cores where there were alternatives, and that video settings can be fiddled with.

What are the best cores? What are the best video settings to maximise performance? Should I have gone for a nightly build? Which one?

Are there emulators other than retroarch with top-notch performance? I don't mind having to choose different apps.

Would Ayufan's 7.0 Android build be a better choice? I don't mind moving there either Smile

Thanks for any and all advice Big Grin


  Click on desktop Icon blanks sceen
Posted by: CreateControl - 01-22-2017, 07:16 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (4)

Hello, thanks to all who contribute to the Pine64 projects
I have a Pine 64 2GB
Connected to  a display through a HDMI to VGA adapter
Android 6.0 Image (HDMI Video Output) Release 20170112 ver 2.0.1
Remix OS 2.0 Image Release 20170105

The Home screen displays perfectly, any time I click on an ICON the screen goes blank, forever.
The OS appears to be running.
That is as far as I have gotten in my first few days.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

  Pre-Configure Wifi on Pine64 without Keyboard/mouse
Posted by: bortek - 01-22-2017, 11:19 AM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (4)

Hi

Is there a way to pre-configure Wifi on any of the Pine64 Linux images (Ubuntu , Xenial, Debian etc) without Keyboard/Mouse ? I have forgotten to take my USB little keyboard with me where I am right now and therefore stuck and cannot work with it. I have a monitor and a Laptop with me though but it is not much of a help as far as I can see. 

On Pi (Raspbian) it's possible to re-configure Wifi user/pass in /boot/wpa_supplicant.conf file and while booting Raspbian tile file will be copied under /etc thus connecting Pi to Wifi router. 

Any idea I can do similar or other way I can connect to my PIne74 board without Keyboard/Mouse?


  P64 as relay?
Posted by: etsoft - 01-22-2017, 07:37 AM - Forum: Pine A64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - Replies (1)

Hi,

i've got a project running which uses an modem to convert a received signal  to an ascii string via a serial connection. 
The strings are now receid on a serial port and relayed to an internet ip address and port (UDP protocol) using its intenet connection.
The settings of the serial port are specific.

My question , is the Pine64 equiped to do this (of course with some add ons)?
Where should i look and what kind of sotware shouls i use?

Regards and thanks in advance
Erwin


  Need help with boot options
Posted by: Gnx - 01-21-2017, 11:19 PM - Forum: Ubuntu - Replies (1)

Ive looked around but im not seeing where the options are for me to boot to terminal instead of the gui desktop. Id like to be able to startx into the desktop on occasion but I only use it in terminal most of the time so the desktop isnt needed all the time.

I tried the grub option but Grub doesnt exist with this image so thats no help.

Starting from 20161218-1, Xenial images now use the latest released rootfs to improve repository compatibility. Eg. this makes it possible again, to install the mate desktop environment (whose dependencies are broken when using the proposed repo like before).

Get 20161218-1 from https://www.stdin.xyz/downloads/people/l...es/ubuntu/

As always, for a list of changes and full details see the first post in this thread.


this is my image at current, using the xfce desktop. ive got ssh installed and im fully updated. I just cant figure out how to change the boot settings.
