Posted by: adamjedgar - 02-23-2017, 03:05 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (2)

Will the pine 64 function with

1  ethernet port removed off the board
2 remove double usb and replace it with a single one
        -could the standard USB be exchanged for another micro USB

Interesting way to keep the Pine64 cool.

  SoPine eMMC compatibility
Posted by: Terra854 - 02-23-2017, 09:17 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - Replies (4)

Just wondering, for the eMMC, is this eMMC module from odroid compatible with the SoPine baseboard?

Video Linux gkrellm launch
Posted by: jhawk - 02-22-2017, 10:47 PM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (1)

I like to use Gkrellm2 on linux Desktop, the one plugin I use the most is gkrellmlaunch, it allows me to get everything done from a simple light weight interface. However, it is never included in distributions, I will attach same for access.

Here is a little script I fire from launch.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
# updater designed to keep system at latest state & clean
#
echo 'The following will be completed, Autoremove will require response.'
echo
echo 'Update, Upgrade, Dist-Upgrade, Autoremove and Clean'
echo
read -n1 -r -p "Press SPACE to continue or Ctrl+C to exit ... " key
echo
if [ "$key" = '' ]; then
   echo "Continuing ..."
fi
echo
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean
echo 'Have a nice day!'


  Slim line Pine Board
Posted by: adamjedgar - 02-22-2017, 09:58 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - No Replies

What are the chances of Pine developing a much thinner board?

ie get rid of the double row full size USB hub and ethernet, as well as swapping the pin slots for ones with 90 degree facing ones?

The current board is incredibly thick when put inside a case...particularly when combined with touchscreen. This kind of configuration would want to replicate a relatively thin tablet configuration would it not?


  FreeBSD
Posted by: ernie - 02-22-2017, 09:13 PM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - No Replies

Sorry, I am new to the forum, so I am starting this thread in the Linux section as I couldn't find a section for other operating systems.

I am running FreeBSD on a Pine 64 A+ 2GB board.
The image I am using is:

http://download.raspbsd.org/FreeBSD-aarc...06M.img.gz

It's designed to run headless, no HDMI yet.
I set it up using a serial FTDI converter hooked up to pins 7,8,9 of the Exp connector.

Then I added the FreeBSD 11 packages repo as per these instructions for a Pi3

http://www.raspbsd.org/raspberrypi.html

That all worked well, everything is running except on the serial console and in dmesg, I am getting spurious interrupts on irq 27 which I think is the SD card controller.

 gic0: Spurious interrupt detected: last irq: 27 on CPU1
 gic0: Spurious interrupt detected: last irq: 27 on CPU3

The messages only seem to occur when the SD card is being accessed. I tried a high speed SDHI card and it made no difference, the board is being powered off a 5A USB supply and drawing only about 100mA when the SD card is being accessed, so it doesn't seem to be a power issue.

Is anyone else running FreeBSD and getting the same spurious interrupts?

Hi guys,
I have just purchased and setup a Pine A64+ 2GB model.

Current setup is using a micro USB power supply (samsung galaxy wall charger 5v 2.0 AMP)
Wireless USB mouse and keyboard
HDMI Belken cable to LG E2360 monitor.
O/S is

  • Remix OS 2.0 Image Release 20170105

I am quite impressed with initial setup...i was able to easily get system up and running.

A little question, i notice that on some websites google chrome seems to be very slow loading. Multitasking multiviewing seems to be slow as well.

what options are there for increasing performance?


  Editing SD card
Posted by: simplexdan - 02-22-2017, 07:52 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (2)

Can someone please tell me what software I can use to edit the one text file on Boot so I can make the video work?  I do not have linux boot or computer to launch. I downloaded several things and all it did was brick my laptop. Don't want to do that again. Is there any reason we can't get an image with HDMI and LCD turned on out of the box? I'm learning a lot real fast, but this one has me stumped. Thanks!


  WiFi Adapter Broke???
Posted by: joshdude58 - 02-22-2017, 10:29 AM - Forum: Accessories - Replies (3)

I posted this in the general discussion thread; however, I am unsure if the post was removed (did not receive a notification) or if it did not post. I bought the WiFi adapter from Pine and accidentally broke it yesterday. There are two ends to it: the piece that attaches to the board and the black paper-like piece w/ adhesive (forgive me for my basic knowledge of the components). I accidentally detached the wire from where it was soldered onto the black paper-like piece while trying to unplug my pine and losing my grip. Is there any hope to fixing this (especially if I don't have a soldering iron)? I appreciate any help, thank you!

Also, I apologize if this is basic knowledge - I am very new to this whole micro computer thing, but I am really wanting to learn more about it. Thanks again!


  Console MotD including Pine64 info
Posted by: BatoXan - 02-21-2017, 07:25 AM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (3)

Hey community,

this might be a nice small addition to your pine64 Linux setup. FireMotD now has Pine64 support. This means besides all the other interesting details it shows when you log in to your system, it now also shows the Pine A64 Board Revision you are on. Enjoy Wink

It was tricky to find a good indicator for the hardware being a Pine64. Currently I'm simply checking for "pine64-longsleep" in the kernel name. If you know a better way (some distinct Hardware ID), would be great to know.
