Hey all... I just thought I'd toss this out there in the hopes that it saves someone the frustrations that I went through.
I've searched and found more than a few threads about people wondering if their boards were dead when they first get them.
Symptom: Plug in an LCD, either HDMI or DVI/Adapter, and when you plug the power in, the red LED comes on, but there's NO life
to the screen at all. I first attempted an Android image, then a Debian. Neither made any difference.
I was using an Acer 22" LCD monitor, Model X223Wbd. It's Max Resolution is 1680x1050.
I'd come across a few posts about the software for the Pine A64 not being quite up to snuff yet on "video detection" for lack of a better term.
My primary home computer is an Asus Gaming Laptop, and I didn't have a full HD 1080p monitor lying around, BUT, I do have an Epson full HD Projector.
After running out of options, I plugged the Pine A64 into my Projector, and Bingo! That was the issue. It fired right up and within less than 30 seconds, I was
looking at the Debian Login screen. As I type this, I'm about to change the resolution on the Pine to 1680x1050, shut it down and then see if it'll fire up
on the Acer now.
I've waiting from june the shipment RS907614952CH. My local post office indicate that You need to make a complaint with your local post service because it's lost.
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)
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'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.
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.
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?
