ARM64 – Pine64 – Not Exactly ‘Compact’..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on June 7, 2016 by RGJune 7, 2016

I recently obtained one of the newly-released (- to the ‘public’..) Pine64 ARM64 systems…    My first reaction, was that it is a bit on the large side..  The board is over twice the size of the Odroid C2.. As usual, the ‘standard’ U-Boot was a heavily-customised old version, that only mounted Android-format Kernel ‘blob’s, but a hacked … Continue reading →

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on April 21, 2012 by RGApril 21, 2012

Despite previous ‘tweaks’, I have been experiencing continuing problems with SD Card Linux performance, and with the unreliable operations of yum / rpm, with associated db corruption, when they have to be ‘killed’ after hanging.. Based on two excellent pieces of prior research: http://blogofterje.wordpress.com/2012/01/14/optimizing-fs-on-sd-card/     and    http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/projects-and-collaboration-general/optimizing-linux-for-flash-memory – I will be having a stimulating (!) time performing formatting … Continue reading →
