  Testing the GPIO pins
Posted by: shockr - 08-09-2016, 07:54 AM - Forum: Pi2, Euler and Exp GPIO Ports - Replies (7)

Based on the PDF attached to the post at http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?t...38#pid1238, I have been able to test all the pins as output by lighting a LED. 

However, I noticed that the LED isn't as bright when I use any of the PL pins. I don't have much experience here so could anyone explain the reason for this?

I also couldn't get PL10 to work at all as the LED wouldn't come on. All other pins on the Pi2, Euler and Exp bus work fine, however. Could this be a problem with my board or is there something I have to set to use this as an output pin?

Just for reference, these are the PL pins I tested
       GPIO   Pin No.
PL10    362    8 (Pi 2)
 PL9    361   27 (Pi 2)
 PL8    360   28 (Pi 2)
PL11    363    7 (Euler)
 PL7    359    2 (Exp)


  No news about my order
Posted by: sergio - 08-09-2016, 07:18 AM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (2)

Hello,

I ordered a PINE64 A64+ 1GB board on 24/02/2016, but I never received any tracking number and still wainting for the board (about 6 months).
Order #102223072.

I sent 2 emails to sales, no answer.

Maybe I can get information from this forum ?

Thanks ..

  GPU Baremetal Programming
Posted by: 404_user_not_found - 08-08-2016, 02:54 PM - Forum: Pine A64 Hardware, Accessories and POT - No Replies

Heya guys,

I've been really interested in getting a Pine64 as a means of toying with a baremetal [i.e. without an OS] machine along with a moderately powerful GPU. In particular, I was looking to write a minimal graphics library without an OS and I was wondering if anyone had already tinkered with the GPU instruction set for the Pine64 and gotten some examples to work.

If not, I was wondering if anyone could point me some examples of baremetal on the MALI400-MP2 or some documentation about how to interface with it.

Thanks!


Lightbulb New procedure for building Android from source
Posted by: jonsmirl - 08-08-2016, 12:31 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (34)

https://gitlab.com/pine64-android/manifest/wikis/home

This procedure is new so it may have issues. The key feature is that all of Android and lichee are in git. That means you can clone the repos (look in the manifest files), make changes, and then send pull requests.  Then use 'repo sync' to get everyone's changes.

Anyone up for getting this working on the longsleep kernel so that we can get rid of lichee?

You need 100GB free disk space, it uses 96GB.
This takes around nine hours to run depending on network and CPU speeds.

$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Download the Repo tool and ensure that it is executable:
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

$ mkdir android
$ cd android
$ repo init -u https://github.com/pine64-android/manifest.git -b master
$ repo sync
$ . ./build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch (tulip_chiphd-user, Baomi/db1000)
$ make -j 5
$ cd ..
$ mkdir lichee
$ cd lichee
$ repo init -u https://gitlab.com/pine64-android/manifest.git -b master
$ repo sync
$ ./build.sh config (choose '0' for all)
$ ./build.sh
$ cd brandy
$ ARCH=aarch64 ./build.sh
$ cd ../../android
$ extract-bsp
$ pack

image in:
../lichee/tools/pack/sun50iw1p1_android_Baomi-db1000_uart0.img

This makes a Phoenix card image.
Lot's of tools for installing here: lichee/tools/tools_win

To get a 'dd' image, install it to an SD Card. Boot it. Then use 'dd' to copy the image off from the SD Card.


Google Play login seems to be working in this build.

Also note that by adding items to the manifest apps like Kodi can be included in the build.


  Alternatives to Chrome
Posted by: crisra13 - 08-08-2016, 10:52 AM - Forum: Remix OS - Replies (1)

Hi Everyone,

After spending time with the OS, I've found that the core system runs well on the 2 gb version save for one app: Chrome. Chrome at times can be incredibly sluggish even after I refresh the memory. Does anyone know of any alternatives to the browser that I can get off the Google Play Store that run faster than Chrome?

Thanks,
Cris


  Zelda Android PlayBox
Posted by: Cloakboy - 08-08-2016, 09:32 AM - Forum: Enclosures - Replies (4)

Just thought I'd share my project I've been working on.  I'm building an Android playbox for my son, which is running emulators for NES, SNES, N64, and others.  I wanted it to be all enclosed in a fun box to take hither and yon with a battery for long car rides.  I still have some work to do (waiting on the longer screen cables from the playbox kit to mount the touch screen in the top), but here is progress thus far.

Delivery Day

Putting it all together for a quick test
[Image: 02.jpg?psid=1]

Decided to do the Zelda chest.  All this to go in there.
[Image: 03.jpg?psid=1]

Cutting access holes.  Bought mini-extensions to expose instead of trying to get the board port cutouts just right... plus the sizing just wasn't right for it.

First coat of stain I stained around the detail

Second coat I stained over detail
[Image: 09.jpg?psid=1]

Add the gold finish to the detail

Rear tri-force

Here are the guts sans-touchscreen (that is currently laying on a foam board on top awaiting longer display cables from playbox kit)
[Image: 12.jpg?psid=1]

Here it is all plugged in and running!  Usb thing is just wireless 360 controller receiver which I want to build into it as well.  One thing I don't like is the fact that I can't run to HDMI when running only on battery... which kinda stinks but ok.
