Power & Source of Big Ideas

Hello. I currently tested the Neo Plus2 using the Ubuntu Core based image (Mainline kernel 4.11.2) as provided by FriendlyArm. I am very pleased to say it's working very well! Except for the USB audio support. There are many audible dropouts when playing audio via an attached USB audio device. It ap...
Thanks for your reply. The wiki on the 5102A HAT does not show any info regarding the Infra Red, other than pin number 6. Which corresponds to the designated IR pin on the nano pi neo (Air). This is information I already know and does not answer my question: How to get the Infra Red sensor on the 51...
It appears that the 5102 HAT uses pin 6 GPIOL11 (363) of the nanopi for Infra Red purposes, like the allwinner H3 datasheet suggests. However, I cannot get this to work with the matrix demo example. I changed the pin number in this example to the right value (from 203 to 363) but still no luck. The ...
Hello. I previously used matrix github on nanopi neo for infra red purposes. On nanopi neo air i would like to do the same. But it seems the matrix git has changed and now the shared object most of the examples rely on is missing. Libfahw.so. Could you please update the matrix git and provide the mi...
Hi there, I just built the matrix code because I would like to try the oled functionality it provides. I needed to change the pin numbers from 7 (203) and 11 (0) to 13 (2) and 15 (3) because I already use these pins for other purposes. It builds fine but when I execute the generated module it compla...
Thanks erazor. Actually your reply to another question in this forum put me in the right direction. I found out it was just a question of editting the right config file: sun8iw7p1smp_defconfig. I changed the config for daudio0 and recopiled the kernel, replaced uImage in the boot section and the mod...
Hello, I have read numerous post on adding I2S support to the NanoPi neo. Somehow they all end up using the "armbian way". I have based my design on the QTembedded image FA supplies. I am pleased with this image for its small design and fast boot time. I am also making use of several kerne...
Thanks. I was able to add the missing cifs support to the kernel by recompiling it, using the tutorials on FriendlyArm's wiki page. Good tutorial by the way! A new uImage file was created that I put on the root folder of the first partition on the SD card. After a successful boot, I installed cifs-u...
I'm a happy nanopi2 fire user. However, I noticed the lack of cifs support in the kernel that comes with the prebuilt linux image. Would it be possible to add the lacking cifs.ko so I can install cifs-utils and mount samba shares? If so, could you explain in detail the necessary steps or provide a p...
