Question Another Fan Question
Posted by: backwoodstech2 - 02-02-2024, 08:32 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (1)

I recently purchased an 80mm Noctua NF-A8 ULN fan for the Rock NAS case along with a Noctua 2pin to 3pin adaptor. Fan is indeed 12v.

Plugging it in I get nothing...no fan movement at all. I'm using a recent version of Armbian if that matters.

I believe I see this device under /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/ since is see pwm1 as well as pwm1_enable. 

Code:
cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/pwm1_enable

returns 1 


Code:
/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4$ cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/pwm1

returns 0

Code:
echo 255 | sudo tee /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/pwm1

still no fan response

Code:
cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/pwm1
to verify my adjustment but this still returns 0. Fan is motionless.

At this point i'm ready to give up and connect to the boards 12v out but I have questions there.

The original cable it comes with splits to 2 different SATA connection leads, leading me to believe this is not a conventional connection? This is for the CON15 DC out header.

the Noctua includes a big 4pin adapter but I'm not confident in what to order. I also didn't see anything relevant in the Pine store for accessories. 

FYI I'm currently not running any SATA drives as I recently opted for NVMe (mostly due to availability).

any help please!!??


  error loading libsodium.so.26 for flatpak
Posted by: _radv_ - 02-01-2024, 05:16 PM - Forum: Arch Linux on PinePhone - Replies (4)

I tried installing flatpak (which I will then use to install Thunderbird), but when I try to run flatpak I get
"error while loading shared libraries: libsodium.so.26: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory"

Any comments are appreciated.


  Bypassing the Battery
Posted by: gilwood - 02-01-2024, 10:45 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - No Replies

Should I check the battery by joining the two internal battery leads in my PBP? Are there any cautions to be aware of by using this technique?


  red charge light goes out
Posted by: gilwood - 01-31-2024, 06:38 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (19)

Just got my PBP yesterday. It doesn't seem to matter whether I use the barrel charger or usb the red light goes out after being on for 1-2 hours. If the battery is not charged completely and I have power supplied to the unit should it boot? Press the start button and will not turn on. Any ideas on issues? Any help is appreciated. Thanks


  PineTime turns off when removed from cradle
Posted by: tynstar - 01-31-2024, 11:57 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - No Replies

Last week I got my sealed PineTime. I could connect to it using GadgetBridge from my Android Phone and flash it with InfiniTime 1.14.0.

It seems to work fine in general - but only while it's in the charging cradle!

The moment I remove it from the cradle, ...

  • I can no longer wake the watch by tapping the screen.

  • I can no longer wake the watch by pressing the physical button. It doesn't matter how long I press - I tried short, a few seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds

  • GadgetBridge says that the watch is no longer connected.

  • Re-running the bluetooth device search in GadgetBridge does not find the watch either.
    I also tried removing the device from GadgetBridge first. In that case, the device shows up in the search results. When I do not connect but remove the watch from its cradle, the device disappears from the search results page instantly.

When I put the watch back on the cradle, I get the Pine64 logo animation (being filled with green), then the watch face appears. The watch still has my settings. At that point, GadgetBridge can connect to it again just fine (or find it in case I removed the device earlier).

While it's in the cradle, when I navigate to the on-device "Battery" screen, it mostly reports a battery level of 99% and that it is charging with 3.4 volts. Sometimes the value displayed there is about 80% instead, and I think I saw it claimed charging at ~4 volts at that time. Once, I also saw an alleged battery level of 0% in GadgetBridge.

In a thread about a similar problem, I read the advice of completely draining the watch battery over the course of 7 days. However, that probably has not happened yet as it's been only about 5 or 6 days. I checked the watch again today, so I will have to wait 7+ more days from now. Anyway, once I have done that, what are the exact steps I should take?


  RK3399 PCIe enumeration
Posted by: jhadd - 01-31-2024, 08:56 AM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - No Replies

I have a custom PCIe x4 lane card that I'm trying to integrate with a RockPro64 SBC. This custom card has been tested with many users on different platforms including a linux x86 system. When I try this card in a RK3399 system, I get a strange result when I view the assigned address space with the lspci command. It appears the address assigned is the exact value of the BAR address size for each BAR. If I change the BAR size the assigned address changes to that value. Below is a dmesg dump along with a lspci output for my device. Device is  [ad00:001e]. Any guidance?

Heart Wow! So happy to see this site working again!
Posted by: KC9UDX - 01-30-2024, 07:41 PM - Forum: General - Replies (1)

Thank you so much to all admins, moderators, whomever is responsible for bringing it back up!  

I can almost imagine how much work and anxiety was involved.


  wifi with caveats
Posted by: frtodd - 01-30-2024, 04:49 PM - Forum: PineTab Hardware - Replies (3)

I thought this might have been what took the forums down! :-) But it seems no one had posted yet:

This Mastodon post tells how to activate wifi with the updated driver:
https://fosstodon.org/@phundrak@emacs.ch...9643222233

WARNING: This activates the testing repo which means you get bleeding-edge updates.

In this case, the only bleeding edge I have found is that sleep mode just hangs. I have to power off the device and back on if I accidentally try to let it sleep (by, for example, closing the cover). 

So it's definitely not perfect. But it works, and works quite well in my few days of playing with it.

It makes the Pinetab a whole new device for me!


  Quartz64 seeming died
Posted by: Darin755 - 01-19-2024, 07:29 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Quartz64 - No Replies

So I was playing around with my Quartz64 board and I did a reboot and it didn't come back up. All I get now is the power led but there is not activity on the display or network. I don't know what I did but I'm hoping it didn't just randomly die. 

Has anyone had something like this happen? If so, how did you fix it? I really hope the answer isn't to buy another one.

  Manjaro network problem late 2023
Posted by: acruhl - 01-19-2024, 05:24 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

I have Manjaro installed on both eMMC and NVME in my Pinebook Pro. 

At some point in the last few weeks or month maybe, networking stopped working on both installs. I get the box with the red icon on the bottom.

I plug in a known good USB WiFi dongle, but it doesn't show up in ifconfig or "ip a". 

Dmesg does show the device connecting.

I assume something broke in Manjaro.

I have Armbian on a MicroSD card and there are no network problems with it.

Has anyone seen this?
