  Airmouse Issues
Posted by: warpwookie - 07-07-2016, 11:27 AM - Forum: Accessories - Replies (9)

Hello all,

So I've tried using the airmouse that comes with the kick starter backer kit and cannot seem to get the thing to do anything. The sparse instruction sheet that came with it is no help so I figured I would reach out to you guys to see if anyone else has had issue or can help me.

I'll relay what I've done to try and use it with me dell laptop. I plug in the wifi dongle and it shows in my devices as "airmouse". Then I try to pair it to the receiver and from what the instruction sheet says it looks like it pairs correctly, but when I try to use it to move the mouse around, nothing. To pair, I press down vol - and vol + until the green light goes solid, let go and then wait till the light goes off before I try using it.

What am I doing wrong here?


  Dead USB Port
Posted by: BlackJack - 07-07-2016, 11:25 AM - Forum: USB 2.0 Ports - Replies (15)

Hey everybody,

I was very exited when I received my pine. First impressions were really good! But I discovered that one of my USB ports was dead. There Is not even 5V(I tested an sub fan). I contacted the support but I didn't get a response yet... So I hope I will get contact to someone of the support team this way...


  DTS options for HDMI-DVI adapters
Posted by: xalius - 07-07-2016, 09:57 AM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - No Replies

I came across several hints on other Allwinner SoCs like the H3 (which has similar peripherals to the A64, just 32bit cores) where to enable better inter-operability with DVI-HDMI adapters a certain device tree option has to be set:

Code:
...
hdmi_hdcp_enable = <0x00000000>;
hdmi_cts_compatibility = <0x00000001>;
...


http://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi...converters (for example)

We have that option in the extracted device tree used for our Linux Images...

https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6....dts#L2003

Did anyone with DVI issues try that yet?

Edit: The dts option seems to enable "something" in the display driver, but what exactly is hidden in the binary portion if I see it correctly....

Code:
disp_hdmi.c
...
        if(gdisp.init_para.hdmi_cts_compatibility == 0)    {
            DE_INF("bsp_disp_hdmi_open: disable dvi mode\n");
            bsp_disp_hdmi_dvi_enable(screen_id, 0);
        }    else if(gdisp.init_para.hdmi_cts_compatibility == 1) {
            DE_INF("bsp_disp_hdmi_open: enable dvi mode\n");
            bsp_disp_hdmi_dvi_enable(screen_id, 1);
        }    else {
            bsp_disp_hdmi_dvi_enable(screen_id, bsp_disp_hdmi_dvi_support(screen_id));
        }

  Image sizes too big for SD card?
Posted by: montero65 - 07-07-2016, 09:12 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (29)

I imagine I'm not the only person who has encountered this, but I recently picked up a few microSD cards that I wanted to use with the Pine.  The problem I'm having is when I try to use the DD images for a 32GB card, it says that the image is too big, not enough sectors available (using Win32DiskImager).

I purchased three of the same card, SanDisk Ultra 32GB class 10, UHS-1.  All three show the exact same size of 29.8GB.  I know companies do the 1000 instead of 1024 thing for how they calculate GB, and if you do that for KB, MB, and GB, you're looking at 29.8GB actual, so that makes sense.

But I would think the image for a 32Gb card should fit on a "32GB" card.  Is anyone else having this same issue?  Am I missing something?  Do I need to format the cards first in a different way?  I tried to format, I think it was exFAT32.  I could also select sector size (it was at 512).  What are the correct settings to format the card to?  Or, should I use the 16GB image on the 32Gb card in order to have some storage space available?  Thanks for the help.

  How to modify *.conf files?
Posted by: gbjensen - 07-07-2016, 12:01 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (7)

I have found some *.conf files at my at my Remix installation at root/etc e.g. files controlling the audio setup.
It would indeed be interesting to be able to modify some af these files, it might e.g. solve the issue related to default audio output.
But they are all write protected. 

I suppose I shall use at terminal emulator and there change the access level to read/write but I haven't used Linux for 30 years and can't remember many commands any more.
Furthermore do I not know which will work in in Remix / Android.

  Android Issues; 4K, Ethernet, Plex
Posted by: kikootwo - 07-06-2016, 05:12 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (6)

Hello,

I recently resolved my boot issues with my pine64 boards. Now that I have android up and running im having more issues. 

First, android can only output 1080p? This was advertised to output 4K but in the display settings I don't see the option for 4K. Is there something I'm missing?

Second, gigabit Ethernet port. I have the A64+ boardx2. Both of them have terrible performance. My other devices on the network get 100mb/s down and 20 up. On Ethernet the boards get 0.7 BM/s down and 10 up. I plugged in the wifi attachment and am now getting about 30 down and 10 up. Any thoughts on fixing the gigabit Ethernet?

Finally, plex. I have a plex media server hosted on my computer. All my other devices work perfectly connecting to the server including mobile devices (mind you, they're all iOS). Even though the boards are on the same wifi they do not find the plex server. Are there any known issues with plex?

Thanks in advance for your advice!


Edit: Plex issue resolved, other issues continue.
