  HDMI Overscan / Underscan
Posted by: Dygaer - 04-28-2016, 03:42 AM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (1)

Currently the screen clips off edges of the console. Is there a way that I can change the over scan setting in the /boot/uEnv.txt file? The Raspberry Pi has something like this with their /boot/config.txt file using the following settings.

These are the one's that I would be interested in using with the uEnv.txt file.

  • DISABLE_OVERSCAN
    Set to 1 to disable overscan.
  • OVERSCAN_LEFT
    Specifies the number of pixels to skip on the left edge of the screen. Increase this value if the text flows off the left edge of the screen; decrease it if there's a black border between the left edge of the screen and the text.
  • OVERSCAN_RIGHT
    Specifies the number of pixels to skip on the right edge of the screen.
  • OVERSCAN_TOP
    Specifies the number of pixels to skip on the top edge of the screen.
  • OVERSCAN_BOTTOM
    Specifies the number of pixels to skip on the bottom edge of the screen.
  • FRAMEBUFFER_WIDTH
    Specifies the console framebuffer width in pixels. The default is the display width minus the total horizontal overscan.

  No sound. Need help to resolve
Posted by: jsyu - 04-27-2016, 11:17 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (4)

Received my 2G board yesterday. Tested with Unbuntu, Arch Linux and Android, all works fine except there is no audio output from on-board audio plug. Don't know whether this a hardware flaw or a software issue. Should I send it back for RMA or there is anything I can do to fix? Please advise.


  using dd to clone image
Posted by: jproffer - 04-27-2016, 06:29 PM - Forum: Archlinux - Replies (2)

Hi all,

I'm trying to burn arch to a microsd via 

Code:
dd if=arch-pine64-bspkernel-20160403-1.img of=/dev/sdg1 bs=1M

the image burns fine, but once i eject/reinsert the microsd, my OS cannot mount or recognize the FS on the microsd.  Any help?
I run arch linux with XFCE here, and my kernel supports all the common FS's up to ext4fs, reiserfs, and ntfs.


  Media server
Posted by: montero65 - 04-27-2016, 02:20 PM - Forum: Pine A64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - Replies (3)

My plan is to set up my Pine to use as a media server, mostly for video.  I've been digitizing my DVD collection onto a 2TB external hard drive, which I would plug into the USB port.

I do have a question though.  I bought 2 boards, both with the wi-fi/bluetooth chips.  If I have one board plugged into my TV out front, with the hard drive attached, could I use the 2nd board, connecting over the wi-fi, to access the data on the hard drive from another room?  Basically, wondering if I can have the 2nd board setup in my bedroom and still access the movies on the hard drive connected to the 1st board, without having to move the hard drive between boards.

I plan to run this on Android, but wondering if it will be the best OS for me for a media server?  Is there a different OS that would work better?  I don't really know what all the OS's are, so if someone else is doing a media server, I'd be interested to know how you are setting it up.  Thanks!


  Use Audiojack instead of HDMI audio
Posted by: pictus - 04-27-2016, 12:45 PM - Forum: Pine A64 Hardware, Accessories and POT - Replies (55)

Hi,
i installed longsleep´s Ubuntu and added xubuntu-desktop. i can´t find an option to enable the audiojack on the board, it always uses the HDMI audio.

Running 

Code:
pactl list cards

 Displays:
Code:
Card #0
    Name: alsa_card.platform-sound.7
    Driver: module-alsa-card.c
    Owner Module: 6
    Properties:
        alsa.card = "0"
        alsa.card_name = "sndhdmi"
        alsa.long_card_name = "sndhdmi"
        device.bus_path = "platform-sound.7"
        sysfs.path = "/devices/soc.0/sound.7/sound/card0"
        device.string = "0"
        device.description = "sndhdmi"
        module-udev-detect.discovered = "1"
        device.icon_name = "audio-card"
    Profiles:
        output:analog-mono: Analog Mono Output (sinks: 1, sources: 0, priority: 200, available: yes)
        output:analog-stereo: Analog Stereo Output (sinks: 1, sources: 0, priority: 6000, available: yes)
        off: Off (sinks: 0, sources: 0, priority: 0, available: yes)
    Active Profile: output:analog-stereo
    Ports:
        analog-output: Analog Output (priority: 9900, latency offset: 0 usec)
            Part of profile(s): output:analog-mono, output:analog-stereo

is it possible to enable the Analog Audio output through the audiojack?



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: it works, big thanks goes to longsleep for his great support

Update to latest Kernel Version! (i use  3.10.101-0-pine64-longsleep-39)

Step by Step guide:

Code:
cat <<EOF >/etc/modules-load.d/pine64-audiojack.conf
sunxi_codec
sunxi_i2s
sunxi_sndcodec
EOF
Run this as root. On Ubuntu you need to enable SU! (thanks longsleep)

Download this file https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6...ound.state and put it under (thanks longsleep)
Code:
/var/lib/alsa/asound.state

Reboot, now it works!

I use a desktop enviroment and can switch between output devices in Soundsettings (PulseAudio Volume Control - pavucontrol)

Good Day

Subject OpenVPN
Since this project is setup for the RasberryPi, I'm suggesting that Pine A64 adopt this also if at all possible.

  Acrylic Case where does the rubber rings go?
Posted by: MegaMech - 04-27-2016, 11:10 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (5)

Where do the rubber rings for the bolts go?
1) On the inside
or
2) On the outside

I don't want to screw in the bolts because the sharp edges might scratch the case. Currently I've placed them on the outside

Ex. Screw head>Ring>Acrylic Panel>Rest of the bolt
bolt head|ring|acrylic panel|bolt (OUTSIDE)
or
bolt head | acrylic panel | ring | rest of bolt (INSIDE)
