  Cheap 4-port SATA card working with RockPro64 4Gb
Posted by: andyburn - 04-23-2020, 11:04 AM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (6)

Hello,
Just a small post to report some success with a cheap 4-port SATA card on the Rockpro64
Big Grin
https://www.amazon.ca/Ziyituod-Controlle...5WRVNV0WZ8

It works with Ayufans 0.9.14 minimal, and with StretchOMV (Stretch) - with armhf variants.
All ports work. For testing I have a 4Tb Seagate, and 2 x 3Tb Seagate in RAID5. There is also a 2Tb drive not in the array.
(Card mode switch is set to AHCI boot)
For individual disks, under Debian using hdparm -Tt /dev/sdX, I was getting >100mb/s.

I will update when the array has finished syncing.

hdparm -Tt /dev/md0 
/dev/md0:
 Timing cached reads:   2026 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1013.04 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 830 MB in  3.01 seconds = 275.87 MB/sec

Not bad for a little SBC.

Tongue
Thanks,
Andy

  Bluetooth Issue?
Posted by: FeMike - 04-23-2020, 04:02 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

I still run OOB Debian on my emmc and I believe it's the most recent which is from late December. The issue I'm having wasnt always there but I'm noticing that after a reboot or logout/login the Bluetooth icon works once. So say I pair a new bt mouse I would click the icon again to get to connected devices and select the gold star to make it a trusted device, that's where the problem occurs. After that first pairing when I click on Bluetooth it thinks for a bit then closes out no longer able to access bt settings. The search feature is not existent on mobile devices so I apologise if this is already a thread. Does anyone have the same problem and knows if a thread that covers this or some insight on this issue. Thank you.


  How to change language in Bionic LXDE?
Posted by: mlentink - 04-23-2020, 03:08 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (4)

I have already searched for this in the forums, but can't seem to find an answer:
How do I change the language in Ayufan's Bionic LXDE?
I have already run a

Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

and added my locale (dutch, nl-NL), but this has no effect on the menu and panel menus (althought it does in the login screen).

Can I anybody point me to what I am obviously overlooking? 
Thanks!


  Hardware killswitch alternative
Posted by: deckaddict - 04-22-2020, 01:33 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (4)

I've seen several threads that has mentioned that the kill switches are a bit hard to reach and awkward to use in a smooth way. At the same time I understand that it is an added complexity in the manufacturing process to make them external.

My suggestion.

As a user I can in principle not verify that the kill switches work but have to trust the hardware manufacturer. So I wonder if it would be possible to instead have a LED solution that can show if the HW is disabled, these LED's can be assembled in a way that software can not turn them on/off without also impact the power mgmt to these components.

The good things with this is that it can make it possible to use software switches instead which can be very easy and convenient.

The drawback is of course that there would be need for extra hardware drivers specifically for this device, but maybe it can be worked into some sort of standard.

There are many details to figure out here. For example it is important that the software can not control when the LEDs are turned on at all, so either they are constantly lit or there is one external test button that can be used to check the state to ensure that the software can not turn on/off only before showing the LED state.

Just wanted to share the idea.


  SOPINE Network boot
Posted by: Ninazu - 04-22-2020, 01:09 PM - Forum: Linux on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - Replies (1)

I have a Clusterboard and 7 Sopine modules. And one SD card with a configured system. Does SOPINE support network booting? So how is this possible in RaspberryPi?

  How about a arm based pine 64 mini to go with the pinebook
Posted by: Omnios - 04-22-2020, 11:39 AM - Forum: General - Replies (8)

I find it is interesting that there is a pinebook 64 to purchase but am thinking that it would be nice to have a higher end arm based Pine Mini based loosely as something similar to a mac mini or a Nuc computer as a project mini desktop. The general idea would be a usable mini arm computer of many usages suck as a Media box, large screen tv web surfer, software development device and other options such as a media center. So not quite a pc desktop but way more advanced than a arm media center and usable as a computer for say Arch Linux for pine arm development with a high end arm system with a newer arm processor as they are getting to the point to be competitive with a X86 system.

  opemmediavault plugin error on "Check"
Posted by: clach04 - 04-21-2020, 10:13 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

I've been experimenting with pre-release and stable builds of Open Media Vault for rock64 (see https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/issues/426 but right now I can only get stable to boot).

Occasionally when hitting "Check" for plugins I get and error popup with:


Code:
Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; apt-get update 2>&1' with exit code '100': Reading package lists...

I think it is failing due to missing sudo, running in ssh session as root works:


Code:

  Blood pressure estimation from heart rate sensor
Posted by: wibble - 04-21-2020, 08:36 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (8)

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41746-019-0136-7#Sec9

I wondered how the original firmware was supposed to get blood pressure from the available sensors. Perhaps it was using one of the methods outlined in the link. Samsung's latest watch is claiming to measure blood pressure too, but needs calibration from a normal cuff at least every 4 weeks to maintain accuracy.
