Sad HDMI to DVI Color issues?
Posted by: leatherlips - 06-14-2016, 01:43 PM - Forum: HDMI Port - Replies (5)

I recently received my 64+ board and have loaded Debian on it successfully using an HDMI cable to my TV. 
I then tried the same HDMI cable connected to an HDMI to DVI Adapter to my computer monitor and while I can operate the system, it has a purple/pink tint to the entire screen. 
I've tried various cables with same result.  I tried the DVI connector with same HDMI cable on another system (lattepanda windows board) and it worked fine (no tint).

Is there a setting or something I need to set on this board to get it to work properly via a DVI connector?

Any help is appreciated.

THANKS

Hi All, having an issue getting bluetooth to see my 3.0 mouse.  It see things like IT IS the remote device and it will connect
to, my Nexus player, my Macbook, and like that.  But doesn't seem to recognize an INPUT device.  Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help.

Question Play Store Searches
Posted by: pwneboi - 06-14-2016, 11:18 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - No Replies

Is there a setting or some way to remove phone versions of applications from play store searches like I can do on the app store? Kind of a pain when you find 30 similarly named apps and don't want to wade through descriptions or install to find out it was designed for phone.

  <Noob - My experience setting up Remix OS
Posted by: BeerSnob - 06-14-2016, 08:56 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (3)

In the box:
Pine 64 2GB
Wifi/BT POT
Power Supply
No name 16GB MicroSD card (blank) [Interestingly, my Backerkit page asked me what image I wanted pre-installed on my 8 GB card.  I chose Andriod, yet they sent me a blank 16 GB card.  I didn't realize it was 16 GB until I was "debugging" my booting issues with MiniTool Partition wizard and saw it was 16 not 8.]

Set up Equipment:
IBM Thinkcentre - Win7, Intel i5 (3.30Ghz), 8 GB RAM
USB 2.0 memory card reader
6 pack Cigar City Jai Alai

What I did:
Went to Wiki and followed the "Freshman" instructions which to paraphrase said:
Download H2testw to test authenticity on microSD - (Passed)
Install Win32 Disk Imager
Download the preferred image file listed below, extract and burn to micoSD card via Win32.
Once burnt, I plugged in card and fired up the Pine 64.  It only splashed the Pine 64 logo and power cycled over and over.

After hours of research and multiple cycles of re-partitioning the card and trying to re-burn the image I stumbled upon another set of set up instructions pointing me to the main Wiki page > 10. Software/Image Download > Software/Image Download > Remix OS Image Release.
At this point I did not realize I had a 16 GB card and picked the 8 GB image file.  (Not sure if I picked it 'cause it was the first one or because I had what I thought was an 8 GB card).  Either way, I kept burning the 8 GB img file to a 16 GB card and trying to boot with no luck.
After several days and hours of research and failed boot attempts, I somehow found my way to using PhoenixCard to burn the image but did not realize there was a dedicated, specific img for PhoenixCard.  Trying to burn the 16 GB DD via PhoenixCard kept giving an error - "Script NOT found! Please use a new version image!".  It took awhile but eventually realized there was a specific img for Phoenix listed below all the DD img's for Win32.
[Image: 06.14.2016-10.49.png]

So, finally seeing the light, I burnt the Phoenix img via Phoenix and attempted to boot.  Nope!  Same outcome as before.
After reading forum comments, I removed the wireless keyboard usb dongle, removed the wifi/BT POT and event the HDMI ...but still no boot.  While researching I read a lot of input about how important the I/O of the microSD card being used is, especially for Andriod.   So as a last ditch effort, I wrangled up a 32 GB SanDisk (used in my 4k DJI OSMO) I had around, tested it via H2testw and uploaded the img file to it via PhoenixCard.  Plugged it in...and bam! it boot right up.

People! - Ditch the SD card supplied by Pine!

Hours and I mean HOURS of headaches because the SD card supplied with Pine 64 Kickstarter package is worthless.
I have already Amazon ordered a Samsung 16 GB EVO SDHC card Link for $6.99.

I do have 1 post-boot problem though.  The outer corners of the desktop are beyond the view of the monitor.  Meaning I can barley see the bottom task bar or the minimize/close window icons in the upper right part of the screen.  In Settings / Screen Resolution, there is NO option to resize the screen or change the resolution.  Any ideas??!

Thanks, Fitz


  Compute module
Posted by: ktc - 06-14-2016, 07:41 AM - Forum: Pine A64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - Replies (1)

At some point of time there were ideas to build a compute module with this. Is it still in the works ?



What is the time frame ?


  Is HDCP absolutely needed?
Posted by: diwou - 06-14-2016, 05:57 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (7)

Hi,

I have several screens. But only on one screen I didn't have a black screen. The only difference is HDCP. At my TV with HDCP it works fine. But none of my other screens (all without HDCP) works. I have screens with HDMI, DP and DVI. Native resolution is 1920*1080 and 1920*1200. At this screens, rasperry pi, odroid c2 and xu4 and many other things works perfectly. Only the pine didn't work.


How can I disable HDCP? And why is HDCP enabled?

Thanks!


  DOA 2GB Pine
Posted by: mrgoose - 06-14-2016, 05:22 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (26)

I received my 2GB Pine yesterday, so was pleased to see it after such a long wait.

However, there is no HDMI output, the box is dead. I've tried with 2A / 3A (specific for RPI etc) chargers, different images, removing all peripherals when booting up etc  etc etc. I've gone through the '6 most common problems' - all fine from my perspective.

Nothing, no HDMI output of any form. I get a red light (well, that's useful... wtf change the red/green indicator in pre-prod to make it just show power. Stupid)

I wondered if it was down to dodgy EDID, not so, tried on several TV's, monitors etc. I used to work for a broadcaster doing linux system engineering, so I have access to diagnostic tools and a pretty good idea of debugging.. Nothing at all. Dead.

Really disappointed but that's life. 

So, what's my recourse for a refund. By any luck I should get that next year due to the pace this has been going so far.


  Provide power in via Pi-2 header
Posted by: BenCranston - 06-13-2016, 07:55 PM - Forum: DC Power In - Replies (22)

Is it possible to provide power to the Pine64 via the Pi-2 header.  I understand the Euler power can be used for this, but I'm specifically after pushing 5V in via pins 2 & 4 via the Pi-2 header.  Can someone verify that I'll not damage the Pine doing that?  I've got a Pi-Hat that provides power, supervision & backup battery.  It's a "back power" design  : https://github.com/raspberrypi/hats  the link talks about powering via the GPIO header.

Thoughts?


  Screen Rotation
Posted by: LavosPhoenix - 06-13-2016, 05:13 PM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - No Replies

How does one rotate the screen? I'm using a standard HDMI monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080, but in a Portrait orientation and none of the display settings allow you to rotate the screen like you can do with any other type of hardware. I assume you can do that with Android but all the android or remix OS builds are extremely laggy plus after the half hour it takes to load the play store, the OS crashes. So unless you have a fix for that I need to know how to rotate the screen. I've seen that the debian or xubuntu mate/xfce builds boot up quickly and just fine. But still no rotation.
