Hi

I want to build a cable to power the RockPro64 from "dual SATA drives". This connector is direct connected to the usual DC-power.

Does any one knows the name of the connector or have a link?

The connector info and location so far:
4 pin connector
Diamgram23
Con15
DC out for SATA disk cable (direct connect from DC-IN)

Looking for advice on a quirk of the A64 LTS I have observed, using a LiPo battery as the power source.

When the Pine is shut down, the voltage on the USB hub (and 5V pins on the headers) drops to the battery voltage, between 3.6 to 4.2 volts, not zero as I would expect.

This is a problem for my application, so I have added a high-side MOSFET switch to save power (when shut down) and reduce the chances of damage to my USB peripherals (from low voltage).

So I'm wondering if there is a way in software/firmware to control this behavior, and if this is a bug or a feature? I've seen it on two from two LTS boards so far.

I noticed that Pine64 is now selling individual spare parts for the Pinebook Pro, and that set me wondering: why doesn't Pine64 offer the Pinebook Pro in an assemble-it-yourself form? I, for one, would probably be willing to even pay more for the opportunity to assemble my own laptop from a kit (The bragging rights would be great too    ). Can anybody see any problems with the idea?

It would be very beneficial if next version of PBP would include a sim card slot and LTE modem built in.
I use my current PBP for daily driver bussines laptop and hate the dongle sticking out. I am looking in a way to put it inside of case and add antennas. 

Would buy another one if it had lte support built in.

Hi,

I have successfully configured my phone with CalDav calendar and CarDav address book following this link.

Note : I used WifiTransfert app (from OpenStore) to send the file to the phone (no need to configure SSH).

Just received my Clusterboard and two SOPINE A64 compute modules.  I will buy the other 5 in batches in time.

I have decommissioned a 3xODROID-C1 cluster to move to something tidier.  Not much of a cluster without the Parallella and the new NVIDIA Jetson Nano hanging off it, both of which will move into a snazzy case with the Clusterboard.

Looking forward to the USB AI dongle that coming as well.

I did latch onto the trick with the ATX power supply so attempting to source a suitable model.  That's the in joke right?  The two dummy loads that turn up without a note?

Otherwise, looking forward to playing with my new toy.

Don't wait for me, I'll catch up.

Cheers,

Hi,
I just bought the SOPINE with the baseboard, and the 5MP Camera in the store. I already connected it to the CSI connector in the board.

I'm using Arch Linux, is there any guide for installing the drivers?

The only guide on the wiki looks like it's for Armbian only.

Dears, I have my pinebook pro since a few months ago and I had no problems with it. Yesterday I installed Manjaro 20.02 KDE and it worked fine, I installed some packages and then restarted. To my surprise, my Pinebook Pro did not turn on. The screen is black and you can't see anything. I tried to reinstall Manjaro and distro by default from my microsd, but it doesn't work. The screen when inserting the microsd is still black. The first light on the left side of the Pinebook Pro is green. The rest of the lights work when I lock the keyboard or touchpad.


What can I do?

Hello everyone,

Here are the UT images you should use from now on, as these images include OTA updates (obviously, get the latest one).
OTA updates can be found under settings -> updates
You download the update and press "install & reboot", the update process including reboots is completely automatic - you don't need to do anything.

You no longer have to reflash your UT image, just use the OTA updates from now on.


[edit] Stable OTA pushed on 18 June, 2020 includes crust and support for incoming / outgoing phone calls as well as much refinement, fixes and extras.
