  Use Android as navigation system
Posted by: JulianM - 05-26-2016, 12:14 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (9)

Hi together!

I just tried to create an automated system with Android for navigation.

Model: Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini
ROM: I9195XXUCNE6 (Android 4.4.2)
Rooted: Yes (needed for AutomateIt Pro)

The device will boot on charge (I had to edit the file /system/lib/lpm) and if booting is done, AutomateIt Pro will activate Bluetooth, GPS and HERE Maps (in drive mode).
The device will also shutdown automatically after disconnect the power charger.



What is the "Drive mode" in HERE Maps?
- Normally you will just see your position in HERE Maps after starting the app.
- Starting the "Drive mode" will show you your speed, elapsed time and more.
- Usually you have to start this mode for yourself, but don't use your fingers on your phone if you drive!
- So, I found a way to start the app (via intent) in "drive mode" per default with AutomateIt Smile

How to find out a way to start apps in specific modes? You need the "intents" of the app!
- Download .apk file of the app (I created a backup of the app and copied it to my pc).
- Rename the .apk to .zip.
- Unpack the archive and take a look into manifest.xml.
- Search there for the "intents".
- Find the correct intent (just trys & error).

It was a little bit difficult, but not impossible Smile


I'll try to create a tutorial for Pine64 also, if you're interested in my solution.
Please let me know your feedback and questions!


Best regards
Julian


  PineA64 512 reboot - board shut down
Posted by: indrajith - 05-26-2016, 09:21 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (7)

Hi,

I got the backed pine64 512, pretty exited tried to boot using the Debian image provided but no success with all the attempts
1. Used 5V 2amp adapator with cable the Red led goes of after some time
2. Changed cables as per the support from luke and bought 24 AWG cable the board keeps rebooting for couple of times and shuts down completely
3. The power management IC heats up like its going to blow up, but good it has the functionality of shutting down crossing certain temperature ..
4. Strongly feel there is an hardware issue with the 512 what I have received and nothing to do with the power when it is able to boot up Pi3 with the same adaptor
5. tried with 65 and 101 images, no results even after multiple booting
6. no other peripherals connected, still no success
7. Connected only ethernet, but still no success with same results
8. Have checked the serial output during boot it stops at cooling the cpu and shuts down with RED LED going off

can somebody suggest or help here to resolve the issue

using the devboard as a interface board and the pine64 as the brain to controll the ptt/sql and optional interface inputs and outputs allow you to control multi vhf/uhf/hf radios as a repeater unitand a radio beacon unit.

  Headless torrent box
Posted by: wahdooyah - 05-25-2016, 11:25 PM - Forum: Pine A64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - Replies (3)

This is a very simple use and in no way original, but I thought I'd share it anyhow since it doesn't require very complex setup. You'll need one or more Android phones/tablets to control the setup, too.

Starting with any Debian image, SSH in and install deluge, deluged, and deluge-web:

Code:
sudo apt-get install deluge deluged deluge-web

I followed these instructions in relevant part, specifically:
Code:
#create a user to run the daemon

sudo adduser --system --gecos "Deluge Service" --disabled-password --group --home /var/lib/deluge deluge

#add your own user to the deluge group (change user name as needed)
sudo adduser debian deluge

#create a script for the daemon
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/deluged.service

#enter the following in that script
[Unit]
Description=Deluge Bittorrent Client Daemon
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=deluge
Group=deluge
UMask=007

ExecStart=/usr/bin/deluged -d

Restart=on-failure

TimeoutStopSec=300

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

#create web service script
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/deluge-web.service

#containing

[Unit]
Description=Deluge Bittorrent Client Web Interface
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=deluge
Group=deluge
UMask=027

ExecStart=/usr/bin/deluge-web
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

#start each service, confirm it's running, and set to autostart
sudo systemctl start deluged
sudo systemctl status deluged
sudo systemctl enable deluged
sudo systemctl start deluge-web
sudo systemctl status deluge-web
sudo systemctl enable deluge-web

Now, the torrent box is up and running! But, you have no way to add torrents, and when you do they're being saved on your microSD card, which isn't great for the card's longterm survival. My solution to the latter is a samba share, since my wireless router lets me plug in any USB drive as a samba share. So, we'll need to install cifs-utils:
Code:
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils

Create a directory for mounting it and change ownership to the deluge user:
Code:
sudo mkdir /mnt/fetched
sudo chown deluge:deluge /mnt/fetched

Then set the samba share to mount on boot. :
Code:
sudo nano /etc/fstab

#Add this line, modifying as needed
//192.168.0.1/Shared_Drive/Uploads    /mnt/fetched      cifs    guest,uid=122,gid=128,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm   0
0
You should probably use a password or credentials, but for simplicity this assumes the samba share allows guest logins.

Next, the deluge settings need to be tweaked a bit, which means shutting down the services:
Code:
sudo systemctl stop deluged
sudo systemctl stop deluge-web

Next, open the daemon config for editing. This will require either a chown or sudo since it's only accessible to the deluge user:
Code:
sudo nano  /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/core.conf

This is the line you're looking for, and change it to where your drive is mounted:
Code:
"download_location": "/mnt/fetched",

Next, open web.conf and set the default daemon:
Code:
sudo nano  /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/web.conf

#change this line
 "default_daemon": "127.0.0.1:58846",

That's all for tonight, I'll explain how to set up Transdroid and BubbleUPnP tomorrow, though it's pretty straightforward.


  Pine64 accelerated H.264 encoding
Posted by: hngjms - 05-25-2016, 08:57 PM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (7)

Hi guys,

I'm trying to stream H264 video off of a USB webcam to my computer from my PINE64. 
I'm on longsleep's ubuntu and video packages (https://launchpad.net/~longsleep/+archiv...our-makers).

I've tried using gstreamer1.0-vaapi plugins, as well as this https://github.com/ebutera/gst-plugin-cedar
but I've been having trouble getting the encoding element to work properly.



Code:
GST_DEBUG=4 gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! vaapih264enc ! fakesink 

# gives

0:00:00.129807267 13532       0x630ca0 WARN            videoencoder gstvideoencoder.c:674:gst_video_encoder_setcaps:<vaapiencodeh264-0> rejected caps video/x-raw, width=(int)320, height=(int)240, framerate=(fraction)30/1, format=(string)I420, interlace-mode=(string)progressive, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1

even though 320x240 30fps I420 is part of vaapih264enc's sink capabilities. 

Has anyone had any experience with getting hardware H264 video encoding working on the PINE64?
The software based ones are really really laggy.

  Why no AndroidTV Image
Posted by: VAAviator - 05-25-2016, 04:39 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (5)

I bought the Pine 64 with 2GB, the remote, and the keyboard. I expected the company to provide a REAL AndroidTV image for us to use. They made all this discussion about 4K.  Why is there no real AndroidTV image?

Is this hard?


  Official Android support

Google is bring official Android support to the Raspberry Pi 3, It would be awesome if this would happen on the Pine64. May be worth reaching out.
