Somethinng like Sandisk's Sansa Fuze with Rockbox OS  

That you can actually buy from 30 USD - 100 USD can be improved in PRICE and PERFORMANCE

With

(for backups and hard copies)
- replaceable batteries
- USB C to HDMI
- WiFi 6
- BT 5.x

It can be tested with a crowdfunding

Being cheap and good enough it can be a best seller


  Kernel panics and spinlock when RAID mirror mounted
Posted by: bryan - 04-06-2020, 07:36 AM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

Hi everybody

I bought and setup my first NAS with two mirrored 4TB Seagate drives in April 2019.   Everything worked brilliantly and still does.

Code:
Linux pinky 4.4.167-1213-rockchip-ayufan-g34ae07687fce #1 SMP Tue Jun 18 20:44:4


Second NAS bought and configured with two mirrored 8TB Western Digital drives in January 2020; however kernel panics every 20 to 60 minutes when setting up a RAID mirror. 
  • No issue mounting and using the drives in a RAID stripe. 
  • Switched out the RockPro64 board, the SATA card (for identical Pine64 SATA card) and SD card; however same results. 
  • Tried multiple images and kernels and got the same results. 
My guess at that stage was the shucked drives or WD's handling of the RAID partition was causing the grief so bought two 8TB Seagate Barracudas.


With the Seagate drives, the panics where definitely less frequent.  Around 40% of the sync was complete before the first panic - after that I had to hard reset about half a dozen times to complete the eleven hour job.

With the RAID mirror unmounted, the device is stable and functions as normal.  When the RAID mirror is mounted, the kernel panic within four hours regardless of workload.

Code:
kernel:[  231.149029] Internal error: : 96000210 [#1] SMP
kernel:[  238.703488] BUG: spinlock lockup suspected on CPU#1, swapper/1/0
kernel:[  238.706806]  lock: 0xffffff800926fdf0, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: swapper/1/0, .owner_cpu: 1


Notes:
  • I am not sure if my first SATA card is an earlier generation than the two I subsequently bought.  Unfortunately I pulled the SATA connector away from the board on my original card when closing the case; it is currently held together with tape and is not in a state I want to switch it out for testing (one of the new ones was the replacement).
  • Everything was bought from Pine64 direct including the 12V/5A power supplies. 
  • Have tried multiple releases and am currently running 4.4.202-1237-rockchip-ayufan running but can test on any build if anyone is interested in further info.
Code:
Linux BRAIN 4.4.197-1236-rockchip-ayufan-g30faab37e339 #1 SMP Tue Oct 22 11:35:10 UTC 2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux


My next step is to get a PCIe SATA Marvell 88SE9230 and see if that resolves the issue for me; however if anyone else has any suggestions or tips to narrow the issue down further, they would be much appreciated.

Thanks!


  Manjaro Mouse
Posted by: cmelcher - 04-05-2020, 08:52 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

I have an original (2019) PBP, and I saw great trackkpad functionality after updating the hardware back on Debian.  Ever since installing Manjaro, the trackpad has just had a mind of its own.  The problem persists when using a USB mouse.  Any idea what might be the problem?  The firmware should stay updated even after reflashing the OS, no?


  Google Play on Android 9.0

Hi all

I can't get any app downloaded to Android 9.0 on my Rock64.
I would like to have the Adblocker browser, so that I can watch Youtube without breaks.
Does anyone have this problem, and do you have a solution?

Thank you


  Download IDB fail when trying to flash Android image
Posted by: cherkasoff - 04-05-2020, 07:41 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - No Replies

Hi there!

I had Android 7.1 by ayufan on my rock64 and it worked fine until some time ago.

Some day it just stopped booting and when I tried to reflash it I keep getting "Download IDB fail" error in android tools.

I tried to boot from SD and write image to emmc using dd. DD is successfull, but the board doesnt boot using emmc anyway.

Serial console is not available because pl2303 com port can't be open when it is connected to the board. Maybe I didn't connect it properly? Pins 6,8 and 10 right?

Also, I can boot any image from sd card, but not from emmc.

What else I can do to boot it from emmc?

P.S.: Also, I can't put the board into loader mode using recovery button. It is stuck in Maskrom mode.

  How to build Webradio from Board A64 ?
Posted by: Bebert - 04-05-2020, 07:25 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (5)

Hi,

I got "old" A64-DB-Rev B board, which looks perfect for building web-radio with IR remote. I would like to use simple LCD display (2 lines 16 characters) and if possible read mp3 from USB keys. I can use external monitor only to  configure the web-radio.

Unfortunately I did not find tutorial for this. Does somebody know some link ?

As I am familiar with Xubuntu, so I tried to configure an SD card with Armbian buster 5.4.20.7  : Boot is ok but I can not get any sound  on the headphone jack whatever I plug into. I put on SD a wav file to check the sound.

  • aplay -l gives card0 : sun50ia64audio and card 1 : allwinnerhdmi
  • aplay -vv 'track 1.wav' looks ok on screen, card0 is used and vumeter is dancing from 0% to 100 %, but no sound at all !
  • I tried 'alsamixer' and play with all controls without good understanding : Still no sound.
  • I tried to configure another SD card using Armbian bionic 5.4.20.7  : Sames results.
Sorry for bad English and thanks of somebody can help... I am afraid after this first problem I will run into some more (codec or IR configure...) so I'd better restart using a tuto if some exist...


  ARM v8 learning setup
Posted by: the_hiacer - 04-05-2020, 04:12 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (7)

Hi Pine64ers,

I would like to buy a PBP primarily for learning the ARM v8 architecture. 

My initial thinking is to do some kernel hacking of some open source OS. In terms of learning, which OS should I go for? In some BSD documents, it takes two identical machines with their com port connected and use the debugger to step through the kernel execution. Is this the case for PBP? If so, how could that be done? If this is not the way to do it, what is the recommended way?

My primary objective is learning the ARM v8 architecture. So things like performance and security is not a concern - at least for now.

Thanks community.

Another quick question: Is it possible to use 8G or even 16G RAM with the PBP?


  Shipping for phones that were back in stock on march 11th
Posted by: curioussav - 04-04-2020, 08:21 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Hey,

I'm just wondering if anyone can provide information about shipping for these phones. I'm one of the people that saw that they had some phones in stock again. But It's almost been a month now and I haven't received any emails. I'm assuming maybe the virus is still delaying that. But now there is a Ubports edition that I heard is a newer hardware revision available for sale. I don't know why I would want to wait just as long to get the older hardware..
