  HDMI->DVI Works "solution"
Posted by: Luke - 04-28-2016, 11:51 AM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (9)

So I managed to get HDMI->DVI working today after a lengthy conversation with Baryluk yesterday night. I have previously experienced a problem where colour black would be displayed as pink on my monitor using a HDMI->DVI connection. This happened over a cable that had a HDMI connector on one end and a DVI on the other.  Today I bough a converter that plugs in on the end of a regular HDMI cable and I am no longer experiencing the problem with colour black being correctly displayed. For those of you in the UK/ EU - this is the converter I got: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-Genuine...+converter

I've seen some posts about this on here so I figured its worth sharing.


Information No idea what your Pine is doing? Serial console!
Posted by: hyperlogos - 04-28-2016, 11:30 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (1)

Short, short form:

  • Connect the GND wire to Pin 6 or 9 of the EXP connector.
  • Connect the RX wire to Pin 7 of the EXP connector.
  • Connect the TX wire to Pin 8 of the EXP connector.
  • Connect to the COM port at 115,200 bps.
I used a CH340G USB to serial which I bought for talking to ESP-01 ESP8266 boards. You can use basically any USB to TTL Serial. I used PuTTY to talk to the serial, which Windows helpfully told me was COM13 when I connected it. Since my USB to serial has a female header, I used three male-to-female jumper wires to connect it to the EXP header. Pins 7, 8 and 9 are right next to the memory card slot. I used pin 9 as ground.

When I plugged in the power connector, I got to see the full boot process, including formatting of the memory card.

I got the information here: http://elinux.org/Pine64#Serial_Console

In the case of the latest (20160303) Android release, there is a root shell attached to this port. If you have no video, you can execute a safe shutdown here with "reboot -p". I have not tried Linux yet, but I would anticipate a normal login prompt there after boot.


  Team viewer Host - stuck activating
Posted by: mkyb14 - 04-28-2016, 10:28 AM - Forum: Remix OS - No Replies

Anyone else trying to setup remote unattended access and have success?

I've been trying to get Teamviewer Host to work, but it will not get past the activating TeamViewer screen on Remix.  on my desktop it does show the device, but will fail in any attempt to connect.

rebooting didn't fix it, so for now, I'm stuck on how to leave this device on and access remotely using RemixOS vs going back to standard linux (no android apps).


Question Arch Killing long running node/npm processes before finishing
Posted by: faddah - 04-28-2016, 10:14 AM - Forum: Archlinux - Replies (4)

hello all,

when i run certian longer processes in node.js/npm, like an update ($ npm update -g) or to search for an npm package ($ npm search elm), it starts the process on my Pine64 A64+ w/ 2 GB board, but then half- or even three-quarters of the way through, it just kills the process before it completes; particularly, i noticed, when it's waiting for info to come back across the 'net through the ethernet port, with —

Killed

then it just gives me the command prompt again, process never completes. this happens no matter how many times i re-try it.

is there anyway to change a setting, somewhere, that will extend the amount of time before these processes are killed? any help would be much appreciated, please. thank you and advance. 

best,

  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?


  miracast receiver
Posted by: uberal - 04-28-2016, 09:38 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (1)

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


  cluster computing

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?
