I'm confused about this board. Some website said it has HDMI but I can't seem to verify that.

Is there HDMI?

I was able to make the dtbo file, but the command to update uboot, doesn't work and I can't find a package to install it it. Does anyone have any advice here?

small update. I think that the overlay I built is not compatible with armbian. made it for mainline and I believe armbian is using BSP. I tried to build with DTC and get errors. I tried to boot a plebian image(older mainline built image), but I can't seem to get them to power up. Will follow up if I make any headway.]]>

I purchased one of those aluminum battery casing:




https://pine64.com/product/lithium-battery-casing/




My question is: there is a small PCB inside with 3 ICs on top of it, does this PCB compose a battery protection circuit? That would be a very welcome feature, but I could not find any information about this in the shop or in this forum.

I'd use the PinePro 64 metal case as it is ideal size, but I'm not a fan of the construction that puts one of thewalls offsett from another internal wall, then there is a huge square hole... It signifficantly lowers the usability of that case for me.

Alternatively if someone has a dimensioned drawing of the mounting pattern for Quartz64 Model A please share. I can make my own.]]>

This is an excellent tutorial on gpio programming, which originally led me to libgpiod

However, all the examples are for the Model B. I'd hoped that the setup and naming convention for the Model A would be similarly easy, but it seems not. Does anyone have insight for the Model A?

For context, I've tried this while running armbian and gentoo, and the results are the same.]]>

https://www.waveshare.com/product/cm4-fan-3007-b.htm

I was able to get the fan running by using a couple of DuPont wires to plug it into the 12V power header beside the power jack on the Model A board, and while thermal problems are now no longer an issue (temperatures peak at 54°C even when doing a make -j4 compile of the Linux kernel) I'm wondering if I could plug the other two pins on the fan somewhere and get the fan speed adaptively controlled instead of having it on all the time. It seems to be a typical PWM fan with the standard colours for the wires. I can see from the Model A schematic that there's apparently a PWM to I2C chip that is probably suitable for this purpose, but it is unclear where it actually terminates. The Model A board picture on the Pine64 Wiki shows a four-pin unshrouded header on the top left , but I instead have a two-pin JST header there with + and - indicators printed beside it on the board. Any help on how I can do this, including any software I might need to do fan control?]]>

From https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Quartz64_Development :

Confirmed Broken
  • USB 3.0 (applies to Model A only) — only works with very short cables and depends on the device. This is due to a hardware design issue relating to the coupling capacitors needed for SATA, which shares the same lines as USB 3.0.
    • Hardware design changes have been suggested to engineers, it's in their hands now.


I got a Quartz64 model A about a month ago and am now wondering if some issues I've been seeing with my board may be related to the USB 3.0 port.
