  Ubuntu images w Desktop + Utilities.
Posted by: Vidiot - 07-30-2016, 01:46 PM - Forum: Ubuntu - Replies (7)

I can't help but notice that Debian images get updated with desktop of choice and utility packages, while it seems Ubuntu users install their own. I will admit a preference for Ubuntu (I suspect there are some firmware/ drivers that play better with my USB equipment), and while I can add my own desktop and Gparted and all that, It would certainly be handy to have all of that pre-installed...

  Using 4GB microSD
Posted by: eunf - 07-29-2016, 02:33 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (1)

Hi,

I have a class 10 4GB microSD card that I would like to use with pine 64 1GB RAM. However, on the downloads section I can only find ROMs for 8/16/32 GB cards. Can I create a 4GB ROM by myself? How?

Thanks


  LCD DS1 connection problem
Posted by: vingower - 07-29-2016, 09:31 AM - Forum: Accessories - Replies (6)

I received my board and LCD screen last week. All went great until I went to connect the LCD touch screen cable to the DC1 connection on the board, the grey locking bar was missing, a quick rummage into the waste bin to recover the packaging and there it was loose in the box. I tried to reinstall the bar but it just snapped in half when I tried to curve it enough to get the two ends located, I have tried holding the cable in with insulating tape, the first couple of times I did get a faint glow out of the screen if I put gentle pressure on the connection with my finger but get nothing now. Any idea's would be appreciated?


  Controller for android games
Posted by: Thierry - 07-29-2016, 05:50 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (8)

Hey guys,

Sorry if this question has been asked before, but for playing android games from the play store (angry birds, jet pack and the likes) is it better to use an air mouse or a bluetooth controller? I have neither so i was wondering which i should buy?

Thanks in advance,

Rainbow PineA64 Home-Brew card-board Play Box for Android & LCD Enclosure
Posted by: MarkHaysHarris777 - 07-29-2016, 01:03 AM - Forum: Enclosures - Replies (9)

My PineA64 LCD and Android are officially mobile this morning, with this card-board home-brew mobile power enclosure  Blush

   

The simple solution while waiting for the official "Play Box" is to mount our fabulous and famous tablet guts in the ready-made enclosure the LCD was shipped in !

The packing foam cradle and support feet were glued to the top of the box with SIG-Bond craft glue. The PineA64 board hangs from the top of the box from steel supports and screws, while the battery rests on the bottom of the box. Power and reset switches have easy access through a trap-door cut in the bottom of the box, with a scapulae blade. At the moment the LCD just rests gently in the foam cradle (which was made of the LCD packing materials).  The tablet is 22.86cm x 14.29cm x 4.45cm , and weighs 492g (including the battery).

   

The PineA64 board hangs from the lid of the card-board boxed enclosure from four steel posts and mounting screws. You can see the FFC connectors in this pic (above) as well the famous glow of our little red power LED. Great care and finesse must be used when installing the cables into the FFC connectors. Gently (and I mean VERY gently) lift up on the black bar, and insert the cable with the connector pads facing towards the board. Notice that the primary 30 pin connector has an extension which is supplied with the LCD (both the extension cable and the extender clips board, are very delicate and easily broken).  Use caution.

   

Fabulous... now I can have my PineA64 board with me on-the-go, fits great in my man bag... and you know what, it looks great too, right Emily ?

  Script for building DD image - I hate 18GB zip files!
Posted by: jonsmirl - 07-28-2016, 07:00 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (1)

I've been trying to build Android for several days now without success.  I can build the kernel and I can build Android. What I can't do is assemble an image that will boot.  Does anyone have a script that will assemble the parts into a DD image? Currently I am using the Allwinner pack command with PhoenixCard and that is not making an image that will boot. There is something wrong with the ext2 partitions. Kernel starts but user space fails.

Also - could the Pine64 people please take a new snapshot of their Android source and this time use tar.gz on it instead of zip so that it preserves the files permissions? I had to hunt around and find a hundred files and set +x back on them. Get rid of those zip files and replace them with tar.gz.

Building Android would be so much easier if we just has access to delta repositories that overlay ASOP.
Remember this thread: http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=1188

Or push a working build up to www.gitlab.com (not GitHub). GitLab will accept repos the size of Android. Heck, just do this to get rid of the bandwidth load on your own servers. Or I can push it up once I have working build. I uploaded the RK3128 tree a while ago. https://gitlab.com/jonsmirl/fireprime

No one is going to work on this code if it is impossible to build it.


  Image Burn Issue and Power Auto Off Issue
Posted by: Mohit B - 07-28-2016, 01:51 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (3)

Hi,
I got my Pine A64+ 1GB with a Wi-Fi add on card. I bought an INR 300 worth duplicate Samsung power adapter rated 5V 2.0A. I also bought an 8GB Sandisk Micro SD Card Class 4.

I am having following issues:
1. The default image for an 8GB SD Card on the Pine64 downloads link is not getting written on the SD Card. I tried with Win32 Disk Writer tool and it kept saying that the image size is more than the SD Card size. The SD Card when formatted under Windows 7 shows usable space of 7.2 GB. I then had to use the Phoenix Image and used the Phoenix Card utility to do the Android 5.1 image burn. It was successful. Kindly clarify why it didnt work the normal way ?

2. After the first boot into Android the board, I configured my Wi-Fi and connected to the internet. I connected a wired mouse and keyboard. Downloaded Youtube. As soon I clicked to play the YouTube app the screen went blank. The HDMI signal for still there but nothing was happening. I re-booted the device by powering off and on. This time it showed me a message that Android apps are being optimized during boot. Few minuted after the boot the device turned off automatically. No mouse or keyboard was connected. I re-did the SD card with a fresh Android image but now I am having random screen going blank or the power LED itself going off after few minutes into the boot. I touched and realized that the chips on the board were very hot.

Kindly provide me inputs in solving this, as I am already considering this as a failed investment. Also can you give details of the adapter that you are using Make, Model, Link to Buy and Price in India/Mumbai. This may be a power issue, but I am not sure.

Please help. PS: It was dumb of me to buy the 1GB version, since later while searching the images I read that the Remix OS is suited for the 2GB version and will lag in performance on the 1GB model. Damn shame. Also attaching the image of the power supply being used. It doesn't have option to change cables.
