  Can't get it to start up
Posted by: yourhighpriestess - 04-15-2016, 11:41 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (31)

        Got it yesterday and I was looking forward to seeing what it can do. I created the bootable card and set up everything to get it to go. I put the Ethernet cable, the monitor, a mouse and finally the plug to my tablet. The plug has a thick cord and is powerful enough to run anything. Including my Pi2. 

So the red light comes on, the monitor tries to get a picture and then.. NOTHING. No picture, no nothing. Help?

  openHab2 on pine64
Posted by: tomekr - 04-15-2016, 01:35 AM - Forum: openHAB - Replies (15)

Hi All
I have installed openhab2 on pine64 ( Debian Mate) with success. Openhab2  works pretty good ( but there are a lot of java errors in logs)  
I connect Aeon Z-Wave USB stick but  I can't find usb port in /dev/ 
/dev/ttyUSB0 does not exist.
Any idea which device  I should use?
regards
tomek


  Encountering Problems
Posted by: Anunnaki - 04-15-2016, 12:59 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (5)

So, the actual operating system works great! But every single application loads extreamely slow, if it does at all. Once it loads its fine and dandy but sometimes it seems like any application will just work itself into the ground and stop unexpectedly. Anyone encountering the same issue?


  February Backer, Still no Pine 64
Posted by: preimmortal - 04-14-2016, 10:20 PM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (11)

Hi all,

I am a February backer and I ordered my Pine 64 2GB with an additional Pine 64 2GB and 2 Power Supplies.
The Kickstarter update said it would be shipped by the 12th, but I still have no tracking number nor shipment.
I've been patient hoping to just get even one pine, but I am losing hope that it will even come by the end of the month.

Had I known the power supplies and additional pine would cause a 2 month delay, I wouldn't have ordered it. 
I know they are busy shipping more boards, but could I at least get a confirmation that one board has been shipped?


Smile Up and Running!

I got my Pine A64 up and running with the lastest android sofware they provided. The hiccup i had was that i had the OS image in the drive i was putting it on while burning the image. Wifi module works. I'm using a keyboard and mouse. Using my Nexus 6 charger base for the powersupply. Just curious of how many people got theirs running? Looks like a lot of people are having problems.


  Wifi Module
Posted by: Anunnaki - 04-14-2016, 08:44 PM - Forum: Wifi/BT Module - Replies (4)

So I've got my system up and running with Android, and I cant figure out how to get the wifi to work. Maybe i've installed it wrong. You only have to connect the module to the board right? Also the cord thing looks like it might be a sticker? What sup with that?

I had it in backwards. Posting from the device.


  USB Wifi module

Hi, would a USB wifi module work on Android?  If so, are there any recommendations?  I tried a TP Link USB device and it is not recognised.  Thanks!


  UART2 on PI header (pin 8 and 10)
Posted by: martinayotte - 04-14-2016, 07:38 PM - Forum: Pi2, Euler and Exp GPIO Ports - Replies (8)

If you wish to interact with UART2 on PI header (pin 8 and 10), you will maybe find soon that /dev/ttyS2 that isn't available.
The problem is only that it is not enabled into the DTB.

You can fix that by doing (along with backups)

Code:
mv /boot/pine64/sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dtb /boot/pine64/sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dtb-ORIG
dtc -I dtb -O dts -o sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dts /boot/pine64/sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dtb-ORIG

Then edit the "sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dts" and change "disable" to "okay" in the "status" of the "uart@01c28800" paragraph !

Push the change back into binary :


Code:
dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/pine64/sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dtb sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dts

Then, reboot !
you should now have the /dev/ttyS2 working !


  Python GPIOs
Posted by: martinayotte - 04-14-2016, 07:23 PM - Forum: Pi2, Euler and Exp GPIO Ports - Replies (3)

I wished to control GPIO with python !
I've tried to use the same library I'm used to on A20, so, I've copied pyA20-0.2.1 from my Olimex board into my PinA64.
Compile it and try it out ... Segmentation fault !
Digging with GDB, I've figured it out : some pointers were 32bits while we are now on 64bits plateform !

Here are the changes to achieve :


Code:
root@pineA64:~# diff pyA20-0.2.1/pyA20/gpio/gpio_lib.c~ pyA20-0.2.1/pyA20/gpio/gpio_lib.c
67c67
<     SUNXI_PIO_BASE = (unsigned int) pc;
---
>     SUNXI_PIO_BASE = (unsigned long) pc;
root@pineA64:~# diff pyA20-0.2.1/pyA20/gpio/gpio_lib.h~ pyA20-0.2.1/pyA20/gpio/gpio_lib.h
123c123
< extern unsigned int SUNXI_PIO_BASE;
---
> extern unsigned long SUNXI_PIO_BASE;
