Shocked Back Door found in Allwinner Kernels
Posted by: BuildTheRobots - 05-11-2016, 08:41 AM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (3)

Don't have my board available to test, but does anyone know if this issue effects the Pine64 linux (and potentially android) images?

Article: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/05/09/..._backdoor/

also comments on HackerNews: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11672590


tldr: if `/proc/sunxi_debug/sunxi_debug` exists, try writing "rootmydevice" to it - the process that does gets root.


  PhoenixCard img or DD?
Posted by: Moshe.Vazan - 05-11-2016, 05:03 AM - Forum: Remix OS - Replies (8)

Hi,

I would like to know which IMG should I burn, so I would like to know what are the differences between Phoenix and DD?

I use 32gb MicroSD card so I would use the extra space to store apps...

I know that the Phoenix img is for the Phoenix software... 

Thanks,
Moshe


  Android: Rooted vs. non-rooted clarification
Posted by: kevlar1818 - 05-10-2016, 09:43 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (2)

On the Software Release wiki page, there is the following remark under "Android 5.1.1 Image Release 20160505"


Quote:Rootable build, online update (OTA) only work when the build still not root.

Can anyone clarify what this means? If we install the rooted DD image, can we not receive OTA updates?

Thanks in advance.


Rainbow Longsleep magic !

Hi
Just wanted to show you guys something interesting.

For the past days I was running Debian image from 2016-05-01 on my 1GB board and tonight I update the kernel to 3.10.101 with the pine64_update_kernel.sh script.
Then I noticed this on pi-monitor (thanks to tkaiser for that, I've been reading a lot of your stuff here and on other forums):

[Image: pimonitor.JPG]

That can't be just a coincidence Smile

I guess it illustrates the efforts guys like Longsleep put on to make things better, so thank you very much !

by the way for people wondering what is my cooling setup, I have 2 heatsinks salvaged from an old motherboard and a fan right above. Before putting heatsink when running a stress test I was reaching 80 celcius and cooling stage 1, now It's stable at 57 celcius under full load.

[Image: photo_2016-05-10_23-12-52.jpg]

Not a lot of space between the heatsink and the fan but I had not found the heatsink yet when I built the enclosure, I though I was to use smaller heatsink like those cheap copper we see everywhere on ebay but these 2 are doing a great job. It may be a bit overkill but I like the results look and performance wise.


  Gigabit Ethernet issue and Android update
Posted by: sledride - 05-10-2016, 07:11 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (8)

Hello,

Just flashed my SD card to the 20160428 of the Android 5.1.1 image and having the same issue as everyone else with Ethernet when connect to gigabit. My connection speed is very very slow or doesn't work at all. Is there any fix to this other than connect to 100Mbit switch?

I see that there is a newer version of Android 5.1.1 released - 20160505. Is there way to update to this release over the internet rather than having to re-flash the SD card?

Device: Pine64 2GB without Wi-Fi / Bluetooth

Thanks and looking forward to be able to actually use this Pine64.


  Install node.js on Ubuntu (via npm)
Posted by: Zhara - 05-10-2016, 06:42 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (5)

I needed the latest version of node.js (6.x) on my new pine64. When I installed node.js via apt-get, the 4.x version was installed.

So this is, what I did to get node.js 6.x:

First I installed npm:
> sudo apt-get install npm

After that I could install node.js via npm
> sudo npm i node-linux-arm64 -g

Checking the version:
> node -v
v6.1.0

Done  Smile

  Can I Use 2 Pine Power Supplies on 1 Pine A64 Board Using the Euler Port?
Posted by: Bob123456789 - 05-10-2016, 03:01 PM - Forum: DC Power In - Replies (2)

I bought two Pine boards with 2 Pine power supplies.  On both boards I intend to do some serious use of the processors.  I haven’t received my order yet.  Based on what I am seeing on this forum I can likely expect to have voltage drops using the Pine power supplies.
 
I have already bought two of the official power supplies and I don’t want to spend more money than I have to. 
 
My question is if I do encounter power issues, can I take the two official Pine power supplies cut the USB plug off and power one Pine board using them together through the Euler e connector?  Pins 2 and 4 are “Power in” while pins 6, 9, 14, 20, 25 and 34 are “Ground”.  Can I connect one Pine power supply to pins 2 and 6 and a second Pine power supply to pins 4 and 9?
 
Then I would have to buy one 5 V power supply that is larger than the Pine power supplies (> 2A) for the second board.
 
This would let me only have to buy one new power supply instead of two and save me from throwing away the two new Pine power supplies.


  Pine64 questions before purchase
Posted by: frankm - 05-10-2016, 01:12 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (5)

What video driver does this support, anything the same as UBUNTU?
Frame rates to expect with the camera on streaming video?  at least 320x240 15fps
Network speed and range with onboard wifi?  I need at least 100 feet
range of bluetooth?  Need at least 10 feet.
Which ubuntu build will work on this thing?
Are cases available for the camera?
Power supply required? 

If the above are adequate, it will save me a lot of time and external dongles from using my raspberry pi

thanks

Frank


  Samba Server
Posted by: nomadewolf - 05-10-2016, 11:43 AM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (17)

Hi all,

My main goal for the Pine64 is to run it as simple samba server (Gigabit ethernet, yay).
I'm currently using a Raspberry Pi B+, but 100M is just terrible.
Do you think it's worth the upgrade?
Has anyone done this?
I would like to know abou t stability, speed and ease of setup.



Cheers.


Lightbulb Benchmarks - Let's share our benchmark results?
Posted by: saturos - 05-10-2016, 08:08 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (1)

Hello,

I think it would be interesting to see people's results as some of us might be running it with a slow microSD or low power supply and don't know that it could run faster. 
Personal experience: I tried two microSD and both were quite  slow, after I bought a Samsung Evo+ it's running much faster, still not as fast I expected it to be. It's slower than my Sony Z3 Compact Phone - maybe I need a better power supply. I used Antutu Benchmark to test my Pine64.


Model: Pine64 1GB
OS: Remix OS (20160415)
Cooler: No
microSD: Samsung 32GB EVO Plus (MB-MC32DA)
Power: Asus PSM06K-050Q (5.2v 1.35A)
Antutu Score: 22413
