  what file controls the repositories
Posted by: blicken - 04-26-2020, 07:32 AM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (4)

I have KDE Plasma desktop installed. I think the testing repos bork my system, I would like to remove them. What file contains this?
I looked around in /etc/ for repo lists, but didnt find one.

As a temp fix, i blocked the testing repo on my network. its a dirty hack, but seems to work. I'd like to know how to do it proper.


  Looking to sell PBP ISO 128 eMMC for $150 + shipping
Posted by: luchtcm - 04-25-2020, 03:25 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

Hi all,

I purchased one of the original PBP with 128 eMMC and ISO keyboard. It's currently running Manjaro ARM 20.04 and I've had absolutely no issues with it at all. Unfortunately, I've just not found much use for it at our house. I want to see it go to someone who can use more than I. I have most/all of the original packaging and will include, of course, the laptop and power.

I'll sell for $150 + shipping. I'm in the US in IL. Don't mind shipping to wherever.

Let me know if you're interested!


  Is Qi wireless charging still an option at this point?
Posted by: minkanjin - 04-25-2020, 08:52 AM - Forum: PineTime Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

Would it be possible to add Qi charging to the production model? It is an open standard, so it will fit nicely with the open source nature of the project.

I found a Qi coil on DealExtreme that is 4cm X 2.8cm. If it was just a bit more square it would probably fit


  Better Different display
Posted by: IT-That-uses-Linux - 04-24-2020, 08:18 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (5)

Hi all,

While i am waiting for the PBP to arrive (just ordered yesterday) i looked up the display that it had and while it isn't horrible for a 200 laptop i am thinking that an upgrade might be in place.

If i do decide to go that route http://www.panelook.com/NE140FHM-N61_BOE...38601.html seems to match all the power specs needed and such and the dimensions are close.

Apparently this display was used on some t4x0 series laptops  for Lenovo and luckily for me i have a t460s that has this panel.

I will test it out see if it works when i get my PBP

  Android TV 9 - sleeping mode and backup
Posted by: Ludovic - 04-24-2020, 03:39 AM - Forum: Android on Rock64 - No Replies

Hi everyone,

As a real noobie I have install android tv on my rock64 card board; I'm using it principaly to run KODI (might not be the smartest way to do it but that was my way).
It works almost perfectly but I am facing some problems:
- the board turns off when turning the TV in sleeping mode: is there a way to deactivate on android tv specifically the ANYNET+? what is weird is that the board turn off and on with the official IR remote that work, but I can't awake the board once off by the tv remote.
Any solutions?
- android tv is running very well but it isn't constant. Sometimes it is slow (more than 3 minutes) to fast to start and in that case it is running then slow ; I'm suspecting my RJ45 plug/connection (it connected to the network through a cable)
did someone have had any problem with the onboard plug? 
- Backup(ing) my PC computer: what would be the simpliest way (using android tv) to back my PC on hard disk plugged to the ROCK64?
- last but not least: chromecast is integrated to android tv, is there a way to cast from my phone to the ROCK64 if the connection is done via a RJ45 wire?

I have checked on the different thread and I haven't found the answer, but I might haven't look well

thank for reading this message,

Ludovic


  Thoughts on NAS
Posted by: Paraplegic Racehorse - 04-23-2020, 11:25 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - No Replies

Okay. So I don't (yet?) have any of the rk3399 SBCs but this might make me think again:

https://www.icydock.com/goods.php?id=293  <-- IcyDock fits 8x 2.5" SSD bays into 1x 5.25" HDD/Optical bay.

It's just begging to have a RockPro with SATA-card bolted to it.

  mainline kernel sound support Openwrt
Posted by: lucize - 04-23-2020, 04:10 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (2)

I've made a build for Openwrt https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/2945 and I can't make the sound work (analog or hdmi), can someone verify if is something that I'm missing ? or maybe kernel 5.4 doesn't support this ?


  UART stopped working
Posted by: kuleszdl - 04-23-2020, 02:28 PM - Forum: Rock64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

The UART on my rock64 (using PINs 6, 8 and 10) stopped working after attaching it quite many times. Eventually I might have shortened something and damaged the board? Anyways, besides that the board itself seems to work fine. The same serial console is working with a rockpro64 so I am quite sure that it's a hardware issue (to be double-sure, I will try to double-check with a different rock64 from a collegue).

Anyways, is there any alternative UART that can be used? And what approach can you recommend to locate the fault?


  WiFi 6 for the Pinebook Pro
Posted by: tsys - 04-23-2020, 01:53 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (17)

Hi everyone,

@manawyrm and I have built a small adapter PCB that replaces the NVMe adapter with an Intel Wifi 6 card. WiFi feels a lot snappier using an Intel AX200 card compared to the onboard Broadcom SDIO WiFi. Maximum WiFi download speed is of course increased, too. With this adapter it is easily possible to reach upwards of 600 Mbit/s transfer rate.

This is how the adapter looks when installed in the Pinebook Pro:
