Hi,

I just noticed a problem with the above script and do not recall seeing this in the past. When I run it, I get the following:

debian@pine64:/usr/local/sbin$ sudo ./pine64_health.sh
CPU freq : 480.00 MHz
CPU count : 4
Governor : ondemand
Core voltage : 1.04 V
SOC Temp : 35 C
Cooling state : 0
cat: /sys/devices/soc.0/cpu_budget_cool.16/roomage: No such file or directory
Cooling limit :
debian@pine64:/usr/local/sbin$

Does anyone else see this? I am wondering if this could be related to the recent kernel update or if something else is going on.

Thank you!

I took an old desktop pc case I had, stripped it down and mounted my Pine64 in it. I stripped the power supply down to the external cord connector and switch, allows me to switch it on and of easily. Mounted a small cpu fan under the board for a little cooling, and left the original case fan. Wired in a power strip for the power supplies for the pine64, cooling fans and speaker power. Wired up the front usb ports to a usb plug for the pine so both front usb ports on the case work. Then mounted a speaker on the front of the case. Granted, I would have to remove the cover to swap out sd cards, but i'm primarily using it to learn ubuntu, so not an issue right now. Lol, takes up some space, but hey, it works.


   
   
   

Hi,

The last couple of days I have been working on making our Pine A64 useful, at least in some way. It took some time, but progress is quite promising. Maybe someone would be interested in trying it out.

Hi all,
I got my self an Adafruit 16x2 LCD display, put it all together, plugged it in and it won't turn on, not even the backlight. I was wondering if someone had experience with the LCD and don't mind helping me.

I got two of the PINE64 while back for my OBDII project as well as for a another project for the kitchen and its been on the shelf for a while. I have no experience with GPIOs or I2C and recently got socked in to experiment with it. From what I read, PINE64 pins are same as it on Raspberry Pi and I though that the LCD would be compatible with PINE64. Aperintly it's not the case. If I can get some guidance on how to make it work with PINE64, that would be awesome.

Anybody can make one armbian distribution?

They have a distribution for odroid C2 which has same processor.

Thanks a lot.

I saw that UVC support is now added to the latest release, however, it doesn't seem to work on my board with the device I have. I have the following device attached: http://www.oupree.com/UVC-USB-CVBS-RAC-A...ndows.html

It seems to recognize the device only there is no image being displayed. 

I have an ubuntu installation on a Raspberry Pi 2 that works with it.

Also, the Camera Application is gone?

I have the 2GB Board

What is the password for the root user?

Dear pine64 experts,

We are trying to set up a board using a A64 with LPDDR3 and are getting into trouble in the RAM initialization.
In the pine64 BSP, you provide a binary libdram and we would like to know if you would be able to give us some info about this binary (per chance, you got the source in the meanwhile ;-). We think that the code should perform an autodetect, but it seems to fail during dqs training.

Any help much welcome.

Cheers
Daniel

Hi,

I need to use SPI interface to access GPIO pins.

It is possible to enable the interface on the PINE64+ ? There is no spidev in /dev directory.
Or this feature is not available on this board ?

Thanks

Hey guys,

so after playing around alot with the ethtool (in the end i set it to 100mbit, because even with the newest kernel/uboot and longsleeps network script i cant get better speeds)

Now i tried to download over a OpenVPN Server, but the performance is way worse then i expected. From around 9-10 MB/s (my isp allows up to 12 MB/s so im quite pleased with how fast the pine64 can get).

Before anyone asks "maybe the vpn server is just not fast enough". Just after i tested the speeds of the pine (with vpn), i tested my laptop (also with the same vpn) and there im getting near max speeds (9-10 mb/s).

The ./speedtest-cli (tested a few times) results are also disappointing.

I hoped that the pine64 is powerful enough for a OpenVPN connection with good speeds :/

Can someone help ? /Give advice ?
