[Pine A64(+) should be different from Pine A64-LTS?]

A solution for the headphone issue is at

Can you reproduce the fix? Are you willing to help me getting a PR together for this?

[Pine A64(+) should be different from Pine A64-LTS?]

Also these differences?

 

LTS has R18 processor instead of A64 and LTS doesn't have microSD card slot installed. Also the power connector looks different, is it USB-C?

 

Having a list of several differences which are easy to check will be handy for our documentation.

 

 

[Latest 20.04 image on Pine64+ no audio]

[Android app to monitor and restart boards]

Yes, RasPi Check can be used with Armbian, see https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5095

IP address is now written correctly and I will leave the temp as is.

[Pine A64(+) should be different from Pine A64-LTS?]

I have more than 20 PINE64 boards. Only a few are 1 GB and 512 MB but they run the same image as I run on the 2 GB. So I guess these are all non-LTS. How can I recognize on the PCB if it is LTS or not? I'm willing to buy an LTS board and consider supporting it, if that also welcomed by the core maintainers.

Thanks, do you have some hints that point in the same direction.

[Audio jack on Pine64 A64+]

CeeGo, did you fix it?

[PineH64-b has no audio device, is it expected?]

delius, did you fix it?

[no etho-network after upgrade]

First boot after installing a new image, I also had no connection on eth0. Error was that there was no carrier. What fixed it, was replugging the UTP connectors on both side of the cable.

[PINE A64 GPU hardware acceleration for movies]

How can PINE A64 GPU hardware acceleration be enabled? Playing a 24 fps full HD MP4 movie is not working smoothly. Here are some results on Armbian Jammy cli from June 30 version 22.05.3 with only installing via apt-get:

- mpv, best result, probably ~10 fps

- mplayer -vo sdl/fbdev2, probably ~5 fps

- cvlc, probably 2~3 fps

- kodi, probably 1~2 fps

- gst123, could not get it running because issue with ALSA
 

The fps are sort of guessed. Any other software and tips for testing are welcome. None of the movies playing played sound. speaker-test also did not play sound even though alsamixer showed all is well. Tips for this please too.

 

What are the steps to take to install the (closed source) Mali driver and/or the (open source) Lima driver?

[Do you like to see your favorite board supported?]

Thanks for Armbian, please keep the support for PINE64.

[Android app to monitor and restart boards]

With this app you can see uptime, load, temperature, etc. and give a restart command. All without having to do manual SSH on smartphone.

[Android app to monitor and restart boards]

To monitor and restart boards, we could use the FOSS Android app RasPi Check. However, Armbian needs to reply to all requests from the app (with a valid or dummy value). I looked into it a while back. Perhaps there are more people interested in it from the Armbian community. Let me know if you want to work on this too.

[Missing kernel module s5k4ec]

Who has a PINE64 with the camera module that was shipped with the crowdfunding version and has it working on Armbian? If you know someone, please ask them to reply here.

[Missing kernel module s5k4ec]

Should the documentation at https://docs.armbian.com/board_details/pine64/ for camera_type refer to s5k4ecgx instead of s5k4ec? (Just curios, where does the gx come from?)

[Ubuntu Focal image should have python3-distro-info package not installed?]

Found the root cause and is not an issue for Armbian but my own post install script, Sorry for that. This topic can be marked as closed.
