  HDMI CEC
Posted by: ayufan - 08-14-2016, 04:00 PM - Forum: HDMI Port - Replies (15)

I did find out this thread: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic...er-for-h3/

It implements HDMI CEC driver for Allwinner H3 which appears to be very similar to Allwinner A64.
I tried to compile that and I even started receiving some messages from my TV.
I was unable to send anything, but maybe someone is willing to try this two branches and fix it themselves:

https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/build-pine64-image
https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-pine64

You have to compile Linux kernel, compile .dts and patch libcec with this patch: http://sunxi.das-eckchen.de/sunxi_libcec.patch.

When you `modprobe hdmi_cec` you should start seeing something on `dmesg` and when execute `cec-client`.


  RPi.GPIO with C
Posted by: Wolfenstein - 08-14-2016, 02:26 PM - Forum: Pi2, Euler and Exp GPIO Ports - Replies (4)

Related to this thread http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=723 I am trying to build and use the functions in C. I copied all files from RPi.GPIO-PineA64/source and I made these files


test.c

Code:
#include "c_gpio.h"
#include "test.h"

int main(void)
{
   printf("testfunktoin()=%i\n", testfunktion());
   
   setup();
   
   return 0;
}
makefile
Code:
HEADERS = test.h c_gpio.h
OBJECTS = test.o c_gpio.o

default: test

%.o: %.c $(HEADERS)
    gcc -c $< -o $@

test: $(OBJECTS)
    gcc $(OBJECTS) -o $@

clean:
    -rm -f $(OBJECTS)
    -rm -f test
test.h
Code:
int testfunktion(void)
{
   return 44;
}


And I get this compile error:
Code:
$ make
gcc test.o c_gpio.o -o test
c_gpio.o: In function `setup':
c_gpio.c:(.text+0x40): undefined reference to `pinea64_found'

  What should I see on login? (Missing stuff, I think)
Posted by: TheGear - 08-14-2016, 01:45 PM - Forum: Debian - Replies (2)

First, thanks to Lenny for his answers in thread 1143, regarding changing screen resolution.

I want to make sure I'm seeing everything on the screen that I'm supposed to. My guess is that something is being truncated off the top and/or bottom. I haven't been able to accomplish useful work yet except via the terminal.

Here's what's on the screen when I log in:
     the Pine64 logo
     Computer
     Debian's home
     Trash

A couple of these are truncated on the left side by the edge of the screen. Nothing else. No menu bars, no shutdown buttons, nothing. Is this correct?

Similar to another person in thread 1143, my monitor does not have controls to allow adjusting width and height of the image.

Thanks for your help

  New to the Pine64 : Distro recommendation
Posted by: Charles_2016 - 08-14-2016, 12:51 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (5)

I am new to the world of one board computer and the Pine64 is my first experience.

I have purchase a 1GB and a 2GB model with one Wifi board.

I have put small heatsinks on both processor

Using the linux dd command, I successfully burned a RemixOs on a 16GB  class 10 micro-SD card and I am able to boot busing my HDMI TV

But they are is very slow.  Much slower than expected.


I am looking for a suggestion for another distribution that would be faster (more responsive) than RemixOs.


  Is the Pine A64+ 2G Sold out?
Posted by: Akmcc00 - 08-14-2016, 12:09 PM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - No Replies

If you access the store through https://shop.pine64.com/collections/boar...5126170630 it lists the Pine in question as sold out. But if you access the store through https://www.pine64.org/?product=pine-a64-board-2gb it isn't listed as sold out and you can add the board to your cart. I'm just curious as to which of these links is correct and if I can place my order today. 

Thanks - Alex


  For packet loss in 1GbE

Hi, all

Also on the debian image it is to reproduce in Ubuntu image, but if you use the Ethernet in the 1GbE, packet loss will occur as follows.

When secured to the 100MbE, but the problem is to eliminate, what this problem is a known problem?

Hello to every one.
I did not see any information regarding missing ABS cases except info that they will be shipped starting end of July. Today is August 14th.
Has any one received confirmation e-mail his ABS case has been shippdor still nothing ?
Sending e-mail to Pine company is useless knowing their response time and pattern answer we get every time on our questions.

  How do I determine my system RAM size

How can you check if you have the 1GB or 2GB version of the Pine?


  Losing WiFi Connection on Android Everytime
Posted by: mribunal - 08-13-2016, 03:33 PM - Forum: Wifi/BT Module - Replies (4)

My Pine64+ 2GB (Android) & wifi module worked out of the box. There was no problem for the first 2 weeks or so.

But I am recently having a problem with losing internet connection. What has been working is reseating the module & the SD card. When I do those, the wifi connection works fine, although poorly.

The wifi is ok for the duration of my use session. The next time I use my Pine64 again, I'm back to square one with my wifi connection problem.

My Pine64+ & Verizon FiOS Quantum router can see each other. Attempt to ping the Pine64 from the router is unsuccessful, though.

Is there any troubleshoot I can do to address the issue. Obviously, the WiFi module works, but does not work all the time. I hope this is just a software issue.


  Audio quality
Posted by: ctigs - 08-13-2016, 02:04 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (3)

Hello everyone.

Just got my 2G board with wifi module.  Took me a while to get it stable (bad power cable).

I finally got remix to load and run but when I plug in external speakers and try youtube, the audio os horrible.

It's got bass, but there's a reverb/echo to it, almost no midrange, and very emphasized high end.  My speakers are dual port, and are the same ones on my main pc.

They are plugged into both systems (works fine with the PC and a phone at the same time, don't say that's why it's doing it).

I use the youtube app and play a video and the audio is so bad I can't listen to it.  The HDMI output *seems* ok but that's a really cheap 32" tv with cheesy speakers, so . . . 

I play the very same video on my pc, it sounds great.  I try the chrome browser and youtube.com, and it's "a little better" but still really bad.

it's the most recent remix OS from the pine64.com website.

I'll try linux to see if it's the OS or the board.


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
