Hi everyone. Is there any way to read out how busy the GPU is, or see a list of what applications are using it, or indeed check if it is in use at all? I'm trying to understand what apps do and don't use hardware acceleration and I figured that if there were a way to see GPU utilization, that would be a good way to go about it.

Hi,



I am located in Germany and have here a PineBook Pro:



- 64 GB Emmc

- NVME adapter

- NVME SSD Intel with 512 GB

- very good and stable running Manjaro

- starting and working from the NVMe disk (system switches after the EMMC bootloader to the NVME)

- power settings of the NVMe adapted for absolute stable running

- Display without any error and a fully functional webcam

- ISO Keyboard with the <> key

- Touchpad updated to newest (very good working) firmware

- two power supplies

- USB EMMc adapter

175,- € plus transport with DHL or Hermes if desired

Here's how we build, flash and test the Apache NuttX operating system on PineCone BL602 and PineDio Stack BL604...

Apache NuttX OS on RISC-V BL602 and BL604

good morning.

I would like to use LuckBackup on my PBP.
Maybe I am just dim, but searching with the "add/remove software" gizmo I only find other rsync front-ends.

Do I need to enable other repositories? If so, please tell me how.

Thanks, Peter

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to get the Pine64 audio POT board to work with Armbian Focal but without success.

I know it is working with Volumio but I want it to work with Armbian. I've been reading about device trees and overlays but I am lost. Has anyone instructions for a working setup?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Joost

I get the distinct impression that everyone has shifted their attention toward the PinePhone Pro, but they won't let me buy one ... what the hell?

I bought a ROCKPro64 about a year ago, but have only just taken it out of the box and tested it to find it DOA (Dead On Arrival). I contacted Pine64 sales about getting a replacement and although they replied quickly, they just told me to raise a support ticket, which I did. However, I've been waiting six days without a response and reading other messages here about ROCKPro's being DOA I'm concerned that Pine64 support is non-existent.

I also have a Pinebook Pro that was delivered with two ';' keys and a missing 'H' key - It took months to resolve that problem until they eventually sent me a replacement 'H' key and I managed to pries off the incorrectly positioned keys and replace them in their correct positions. Like everyone else here, I support the objectives of Pine64, but the lack of support and unwillingness to RMA faulty products seriously detracts from their stated objective to create good hackable hardware at affordable prices.

I've tried connecting a USB-TTL adapter to the UART pins on the GPIO connector of my ROCPro64, but nothing is being output: There is only one green LED illuminated on the board, but the NIC led's are on solid. It makes no difference if I have an eMMC chip or SD-card in, but I was hoping to see "uboot" output as I do on the Pinebook Pro over the UART serial lines. Has anyone got advice about how to check if my ROCKPro64 board is dead or not?

Thanks,

  Tony.

Hey all, episode 3 of the second season of PineTalk is out.

"In this episode Justin and Brian talk about this week’s software improvements coming to PINE64 devices, discuss the keyboard some more, and talk about the future of Mobile Linux."

Quote:There isn't much information about SOEdge, because developers receiving prototypes only now, and it will take some time, but step by step, the wiki will be filled with information, so also I expect more information published on next community blog. About USB SDK and normal SDK, I tried to compare it without unpacking, there isn't much differences on first sight, need to unpack it and make some bigger comparison. I will write here with results.

When I bumped into this symbols, I guessed they are resistors.
(the blue mesh-like symbols have 100 ohm value.)
(I've already asked this question on stackexchange but no answers yet.)






But they don't have have names, so they are not going to mounted in a PCB assembly.
Can anyone tell about this?
Thanks in advance!
