  any danger from using 2 power sources at same time?
Posted by: dkryder - 01-20-2017, 10:40 AM - Forum: DC Power In - Replies (3)

for some reason i have an issue with lacking power to boot one of my boards. if i use the micro usb power source i don't have enough power to complete a boot, after it reaches a point the boot sequence loops. if i use a power supply through the euler pins, same situation, boot loop after a certain point in the sequence. however, if i use a power source through both the micro usb & euler pins at same time the boot is always successful. after boot i can disconnect one or the other and the board runs fine. i have been doing this for about 3 weeks now without any obvious damage. but i thought i'd mention it to the group and see what feedback i get. i'm mostly interested in if i will eventually burn up the board someway but i'd also like thoughts on just why this is working thanks.


  assistantpine, a working idea for a distro
Posted by: tohipfortheroom - 01-20-2017, 09:27 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (1)

AssistantPine Developement 


I have been working roughly 80 hours a week, so i have had a lack of time to focus on bigger projects, aka TV64 and or ChromiumOS, but i couldn't sleep last night, probably to much coffee. but i had a good idea of something id like work with the pine community on, due to time issues on my part i will need some help or assistance for this, and it is in the very basic, i have an idea, and a very basic blueprint on a plan of action. here is the idea. In the last 4 or 5 years, the virtual assistant has grown to be very powerful, amazon,google, apple and windows all have there's. Where is the Pure Linux one? and even better answer, where is the pine one? That is what i want to try to get started, my base idea, is to work off some of the work that's all ready been done in the Linux world. SemiCode OS, is a development based Ubuntu distribution, they have done some great work with what they call Sarah. you can check it out here https://github.com/semicode-ltd/sarah and of course with amazon releasing the source code of Alexa for Linux there is promise for this idea. 

Mission Statement for this Project

I want to build a small base distribution for the pine64, that then could act as a hub or a standalone unit, loaded with the AI, then this main unit could then be used to manage any other units on the same network, basically a home-kit type idea. So step one would be to strip Ubuntu down and build around with Sarah, then work with code for touch screen's etc.I will have time this Sunday to work on this idea, and some more outlining on how this can work, right now I am curious, if anyone else thinks this would be a worth idea. Also any idea's that would be worthwhile to look into surrounding this idea would be awesome. 

Send an Email for a invite to the slack team 

tohipfortheroom@gmail.com

I have learned that slack is the best way for developers to get work done, if your interested pm for more information on help or if your really interested in helping. shoot me a email and i'll add you to the slack team 

Follow the progress at Trello 



  Update 1/23/2017
After reaching out to SemiCode OS I have been contacted by Mohamed Saif Eldeen, the CEO and founder of SemiCode OS, We are going to be working together on some features of Sarah. A full port of SemiCode OS may be in work as well. 


  Ubuntu USB Mic
Posted by: matrix452 - 01-18-2017, 09:27 PM - Forum: Ubuntu - No Replies

Hey guys,
I'm trying to add a USB mic to my Linux install but it appears that it is not being detected. I am connecting via VNC and SSH. Any thoughts on this?
Here is what the output of cat /proc/asound/cards shows:

Code:

  gpu blobs for fbdev

I was wondering if the gpu blobs for fbdev  are available. I did a search and didn't find anything, or used the wrong keywords.


  Will the Pine64 boot from a USB Flash drive?
Posted by: MrUmunhum - 01-17-2017, 04:29 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (8)

Hi group,
The title says it all.  Dose the Pine64 support USB booting??
Also is there BIOS access?  Can the BIOS be modified through the console/keyboard?

I like the official(?) Video Player from Android 5.1.1 version.  Is this apk file somewhere available? I can't find it in Play store...

  Bluetooth audio sink
Posted by: jszmidt - 01-16-2017, 12:44 PM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (1)

Hi all,
I'd like to use the PINE64 as a Bluetooth audio sink, but unfortunately it appears that the hardware doesn't support this option. Am I missing something? Is it a limitation of the chip or of the driver?


Here's the uname:

  sound amp and speakers for the case
Posted by: Israeldelamo - 01-16-2017, 10:29 AM - Forum: Pine A64 Hardware, Accessories and POT - Replies (4)

Hi,

I have just plug in an old sound amp that i had but in order to make it work i always need to disconnect the minijack, and then connect it again. I read somewhere in the forum that soldering http://forum.pine64.org/attachment.php?aid=310 between pin 4 and pin 3 a switch could make it, but it looks messy. Any other idea?
