  Remix OS seems sluggish
Posted by: lenwe33 - 04-28-2016, 09:58 AM - Forum: Remix OS - Replies (6)

Hello everybody.

I received my pine64 2 gig board and installed RemixOS.
Everything works great.
Bluetooth keyboard works.
WiFi works

I even installed HBONow  through Google Play and watched a couple of movies.

The problem Im having is that its a little sluggish. Im not sure if its because Im using an 8gig microSD or what?
Anybody have any suggestions?

Hej,
Is miracast already implemented in the actual release so we can use pine to receive a video and audio from a tablet or smartphone?
If not: how to apply for this? Is there a feature request?
Cheers

I'm using my pines as a computing cluster with 4 nodes (4 per node), plus one dedicated to delegation.
   
Currently powered by a homemade USB power hub (17 port) and a computer PSU. Re-doing the USB hub to a cleaner implementation, 2 8-port cards
   


  Boot Loop
Posted by: mmeadows - 04-28-2016, 06:21 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (5)

Hey All,

I've tried the Ubuntu image and the Android image. Android gets to the starting app screen then immediately bounces back to the previous splash screen and loops. Ubuntu begins to load then shuts down.

I've tried 3 different power supplies (now using a raspberry pi 2.5 PS) I have no network or peripherals connected. I've tried 3 different displays.

I'm using the 2Gig board. Any help would be appreciated.

  Overlapping partitions on latest RemixOS image
Posted by: EricL - 04-28-2016, 05:51 AM - Forum: Remix OS - Replies (7)

Hi all.

So, I've been tearing my hair out trying to get RemixOS to behave on the PINE A64.  I tried downloading the latest image from here, which has changed in the past day or so and thankfully doesn't require PhoenixCard anymore.  However, it seems geared to 8GB MicroSD cards and I can't for the life of me figure out how to expand it.  Both Parted and GParted complain of overlapping partitions, so a simple resize of the filesystem doesn't work.  What's more, removing and re-creating the partition doesn't work, because the first block is actually overlapping with the last block of the extended partition.  This thing has the most bizarre partition table I've ever seen. Short of hacking away at the partition table with a hex editor, is there any way I can clear the overlapping partition problem?


  Any luck using GPIO's ?
Posted by: Skivholme - 04-28-2016, 05:06 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (2)

Hi,

Did anybody had any luck using the PI GPIO ?

As far as i can se the GPIO module is not added in the kernel? /sys/class/gpio does not exist..


Is there a way of adding it?


  generall network interface issues
Posted by: Sandman01 - 04-28-2016, 04:31 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (9)

Hi

My name is Mario and I'm new to the Pine64 but I'm familiar with
2 RaspberryPi1 B
2 RaspberryPi2 B
1 RaspberryPi3 B
1 LattePanda (x86 dev board)

I received my The PINE A64+ w/ 2GB SDRAM 2 weeks ago and I'm still unable to use the Pine because of the overall stability,... issues.
1st the pine needs a power supply >= 2A
Ok mine has 2A and it works, my second one with (nominal rated) 2,4A won't work stable

I managed to get the images booting (most of them) but all images are unable to connect to my network (dhcp server running on my router for IPv4)
also my additionally order WiFi module creates bootloops on all images exept arch linux which do not detect the module (so also no networ)

Is there an test I can process to check if ther is something wrong with my whole board?
I prefer ubuntu linux images to make my test and ther the eth0 interface is shown

Code:
ifconfig


however no inet (IPv4) network address if assigned to it
The ethernet cable and the router work like a charm because (I use  the cable also for my other dev boards)
Also tried to set the ip static in

Code:
/etc/network/interfaces


but without luck, tha adress is assinged correctly but no connection could be astableshed by tesing to ping my router (internally activated to answer on pings)

Code:
ping 192.168.1.1


would be nice if someone could give me a few opportunities what I can test to get any network up and running because without network the Pine is useless (no updates, Android,....)

BTW:
For my boot loops with the WiFi module I will make an additional battery pack that shall support my power supply or test an supply that is pluged in over the RasPi connector because Power supplies for micro USB are mostly limited to max 2,4A (due to standard USB cable requirements limited crosssection)


best regards,
Mario Holzinger

  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.
