  Brand-new Pinebook Pro - keyboard not working
Posted by: guy100 - 09-18-2020, 08:28 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (8)

I have a brand new Pinebook Pro and I haven't spent 10 minutes on it yet because some keys are not working. I found a similar report here:

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9894

I emailed Pinebook support 3 days ago and haven't received a response. I see in the above thread there wasn't any responses either.
Can someone assist? I have a brand new computer that's currently a brick and I would like to understand my options.

Thanks so much!


  Lakka (retrogaming) os for rock64
Posted by: Wizardknight - 09-18-2020, 08:20 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (2)

I know that the Rock64 world is a little sparse on new material, so when I found this updated OS I thought I should share it.
Lakka has a stable version from 2019 here http://le-builds.lakka.tv/Rockchip.ROCK64.arm/
However I found that they have a nightly which is current, and has a rock64 image under http://nightly.builds.lakka.tv/
Choose the date you want, and then R3328.

Hope this is useful to someone.


  Error! Android Rockchip tools method
Posted by: BowerR64 - 09-18-2020, 08:12 PM - Forum: Android on Rock64 - No Replies

Couple of weeks ago a seller on Amazon had a bunch of the Rock64 board kits for $7.99 (SBC board, supply case and SD card) i got 4 of em and ive been trying all of the files in the downloads section.

I ran into an issue with one called "Android 9.0 Stock Image [eMMC Boot] using ROCKChip tools method [20190617]" 

The directions says to use the "android tool" put the board into maskrom mode with the jumper then when the tool sees the board pull the jumper off, then flash it. I kept having issues with errors when it went to "check" if the flash was ok it would error out. Then by accedent i downloaded a different version of the tool "2.65" and it actually worked i was trying different eMMc modules, differnt cables, i even thought maybe it was the USB3 and tried USB 2 then by accedent i tried the 2.65 and it worked.

The instructions give a link for version 2.38 and i tried and tried that version with no luck then by accedent i tried the 2.65 because i already had it on my PC from another device and i didnt know it was a different version


  Where to find a PDF viewer (and other software) compatible with aarch64?
Posted by: mjc - 09-18-2020, 07:55 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (8)

I just tried and failed to install foxitreader. Is there anything available?

Also, I get the impression I'm going to have to post on the forum like this for most pieces of software. I was pleased to find https://privacyshark.zero-credibility.net/# earlier as a source of compatible VOIP software. Are there similar places to go for other aarch64 Linux software?


  Selling PineTab
Posted by: Superfroggman - 09-18-2020, 06:13 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (2)

Hello!
This is my first post here so please tell me if I'm breaking any rules.

I bought a PineTab and tried it out for a bit but felt like it wasn't quite for me. I feel like it will be in better use with someone else.

Price ~ 120$ + shipping.
I threw away the original box but everything else is included.
Shipping from Sweden, so I would prefer the buyer to be from Europe.

I think my account is too young to allow private messages so please reply here instead, as I made it to post this post.


  location tracking
Posted by: ergo owl - 09-18-2020, 06:04 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (39)

"Location services turned off - No applications can obtain local information"

Thats what it says on my phone under privacy settings yet, here I sit looking at the pre-installed Maps application showing my position on the map with a 100 meter accuracy.

Whats up with that?


  Software apps not supported
Posted by: HLing - 09-18-2020, 05:41 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Do I have to have Flatpak in order for the Gnome apps to work on my Pine Phone? For some reason, just about all of the APPS  i have tried to install either don't install, is unsupported, or doesn't do anything when I launch it. (Definitely, without FLatpak nothing seems supported)

I was just looking for something to play videos.  Within Firefox ESR the videos play great, but do play the video I shot with the camera I could not find anything. Thanks!


  video connector
Posted by: brentashley - 09-18-2020, 05:36 PM - Forum: PineTab Hardware - Replies (3)

The Pine64 site's PineTab page specifications say that the video port is microHDMI.  Looks to me like a miniHDMI connector (I have a microHDMI cable and it does not fit).  Before I go and buy another cable and it's wrong, can someone confirm exactly what connection I should get?


  Programming
Posted by: AppDeveloper - 09-18-2020, 05:21 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (1)

1) How should I access the camera from my program? Is the camera V4L-compatible, requiring C-level programming? Or can I access it with higher level languages like Java?

2) On a related note, how should the hardware be accessed in general? Is everything accessed through the kernel API's, or are there higher level API's?
