Hello.
I'm new to the tinker board, but I worked with the Raspberry Pi.
Is there a way to configure a Tinker Board similar to the raspi-config on Pi?

Try it ;)

sudo tinker-config

[_AI_]

BoughtFlirc Raspberry Pi Case,
Little had to sharpen the protruding stiffeners on the bottom plastic cover.

I give a photo of the juxtaposition of the protrusion for cooling the CPU and the imprint of the CPU itself.

PS At first, I thought it would be enough for a quarter of the thermal pads that were bundled for 3B +, but then I added more.
If someone will, glue - glue half: a quarter is small, a whole lot.

I don’t know, somehow I’m not lucky with performance, I don’t understand anything.
I tried:
* supply power via USB with good charging (Orico 4 ports 2 amps minimum),
* apply power directly to 2.4 pins and ground to 6.
* connect the cooler, and keep the temperature around 35 degrees.

But Armbian somehow begins to lag terribly over time, the same ssh has to wait for 10 seconds, the sessions fall off.

Who uses what?
Can switch to DietPi?

[_AI_]

saikek, did not watch the temperature during the brakes?
Which, by the way, is the SD card used?

saikek, did not look at the temperature during the brakes?

Cards used SDHC.
It does not depend on the temperature, it happened with a constantly switched on cooler for 5 volts.
I tried to change the governor, the same. And somehow it consumes little current - 300-500mA.
I'll try dietPi today.

strange that not MicroDrive} -)
Does the manufacturer have this card? model? speed on the package (if you recently took)

Well, such a black flash drive, well :). (I tried different, class 10, Transcend, Kingston)
It's not about the speed of the card, there are some evil interruptions or core lags. When put DietPi - problems disappeared ...

class is not an indicator at all ...
class shows linear reading speed, and brakes due to random writing, until the OS is completely stopped (it gets up with a stake)

PS This is from the experience of dealing with raspberries.

PPS is the easiest thing I can advise - turn off the swap, if it is there, and if there is not enough memory, then switch to ZRAM

[tedal]

_AI_What axis do you use, official tinker or armbian (or even Andrew)?

[saikek]

I settled on Dietpi, for some reason there were problems with Armbian, with Dietpi there were no problems at all, plus quite good utilities for initial cofigration, and a small image.

official tinker or armbian

I have no time at all lately.
I have not tried anything except finkerbian

This is my message, copied from the next branch, I think it will be useful here.
as far as possible I will edit, that it would correspond to a subject, meanwhile only changed the link to a reference image
-------
Here they often ask which SDshki is better for RaspberryPi, the answer is not as simple as it seems at first glance.
Although the majority of manufacturers indicate the speed on the packaging, but the linear speed of reading, and this is not what is necessary for the fast operation of single-board computers.
For fast work, you need another fast recording, and the so-called. "random":

[email protected], 21:38

I recommend paying attention to SanDisk Ultra labeled A1, this is newspeed ratingfor tasks, just such as raspberry is ...

I have not found tests that can be used to measure performance, and that would satisfy me.
But I discovered a pattern that there is one operation in the OS, the speed of which well reflects the performance of the SD - this is a system update.

I didreference imagewith downloaded updates for a certain point in time, so that this image can be used at any time, even when a lot of time passes and there are more updates and / or a new release is released and there are fewer updates.

If anyone decides to use it, in order to compare their SDs with mine, you need to boot from it, and run the command

time sudo apt -y dist-upgrade

Here are the results I got:

gray (48mb / s) 24:44 14:14 2016
gray (80mb / s) 6:35 2:12 2018
red (30mb / s) 11:03 3:58 2013
red A1 (98mb / s) 5:44 1:54 2018
SunDiskExtreme.A2 5:24 1:33 2018 (not pictured)
EVO + 8:58 2:53 2017
EVO Plus 14:09 5:47 2017
Toshiba Exceria 15:38 8:33 2017

PS The second column with the times is a similar test forASUS Tinker Board.
They can not be compared with each other. But this may help to suggest how the cards will behave relative to each other, if you overclock the port in a raspberry (as the SD 3.0 port in the Tinker Board)

Then - the year of purchase, and perhaps another important infa, the last (in the photo - right) 4 cards bought in China, and the first (left) 3 - in local stores of the federal level (nix, citilink, technopoint),
those. not in any mobile shops, because I do not trust them.

(the speed in brackets is the speed on the carton box, it turned out that for the 2013 map it was preserved, and 2016 is not)
PPS it turned out that I bought the first one for raspberries, and it is not surprising that on it I felt all the optimizations that I later included in the custom image.

I bought the thirdin my first smartphone, I use it there until now, although the phones have already changed>4pcs, and when I decided to do a test on it, I thought it would be a brake ...
But it turned out that this example is very indicative - her linear speed is like an outsider (it was felt even by the time of the image recording), but the speed of random access was at her height, which allowed her to fight along with the "leaders".

[vanya150600]

tried who the PSP emulation on this board? here is the experimentallaccorolled out, can anyone test GTA Liberty City? all tests six months ago, during this time should have at least something and improved
and as I understand it, the cases from RPi 2/3 are suitable (except for aluminum ones that are in contact directly with the chips)?

[_AI_]

vanya150600Recently, there is absolutely no time to test anything, but as far as possible I continue to monitor ....
take a lookhereregularly posting the latest version of ROTT

enclosures fit besides the so-called "puff" ("rainbow", for example) and thin, as in the photo, because Our board has a large capacitor sticking out, and the elements on the board are in other places.

I am very interested in whether streaming video from Twitch, through chrome, and if so, in what resolution?

Good time of day! Theme for Kulibins! Background: There was a desire to put in the car radio with a screen. Ready solutions are either very expensive or do not meet the desired requirements. A friend threw an idea to assemble a radio tape recorder based on a single board computer. According to tests, Tinker board leads the way in performance.
Problem: for the present I have not found a single detailed guide on assembling such a system. I propose together to develop such a project, I will not master it myself. I admit honestly: I doubt attainability, because if it were possible, someone would have done it (((
Desired:
1) Touch screen with IPS matrix 7 '' with HDMI input (price, manufacturer, whether to buy in China?). The screen is built into the standard 2DIN case (800-900r on Aliexpress), at the same time, it is necessary that the entrance to the screen was at the back, not the side, otherwise how to put it in the standard slot? And in general, I can not understand, the screen is connected via HDMI or cable as on Raspberry?
2) Control unit (CU): Tinker board in the case (1000 r on Ali). The control unit is not fixed on the monitor, but brought out of the regular socket for the radio. Computer elements:
- A sound card with an AUX output (I am going to connect a JBL Xtreme speaker, the sound is worse on Bluetooth than through aux). AUX is in the board, but it supports the standard 24bit / 192KHz, which is unacceptable for a music lover, correct, if not right. Are there modules with AUX with better quality music transfer (listen to FLAC)? Or do you need to re-solder?
- the ability to connect sound to the speakers of the machine Is it possible to put the amplifier on 4 speakers? The sound system should work like this: if 3.5 jack is removed, then the regular auto speakers work, if 3.5 is inserted into the AUX, the JBL column works.
- GPS \ Glonass module, with the ability to connect the antenna to the body of the CU
- two USB ports on the CU case (there is one in the board)
- one slot for micro sd (for DVR or navigation maps)
- drive, such as a solid-state hard disk or a fast memory card for storing information, OS
- the ability to split HDMI to connect the passenger monitor (splitter in port BU?)
- Connector for the rear view camera (bell) (where to get, how to solder, if necessary?)
- power from the vehicle network (via the radio connector) (what do you need?)
3) Android OS 7-8
4) Running with the car

I suppose this is possible, especially since the tinker and rp3 have a comb onboard the GPIO, to which you can both connect all sorts of sensors of the car and bring out any controllers, for example, control of the brightness of the backlight or whatever you think of.

-Wrench- @ 07.07.18, 22:14

Touch screen with IPS matrix 7 '' with HDMI input

there is also a connector like the RPI3, and specifically in the specification of "MIPI-DSI, compatible with the Raspberry Pi 7" display and others "

Why do you want to make a sandwich incomprehensible? ummm 24bit / 192Kgts for a music lover is not acceptable and immediately talking about JBL which is no longer suitable for audiophiles, do not write nonsense. and generally why are you in the car column jbl ???? besides, there is even an axis sharpened for audiophiles on a tickerboard, now at the time of writing I’m testing it ... I don’t understand that part about 3.5 jacks and speakers of a car or jBl ..... WHAT ????? No, well, seriously. WHAT ???? effort you can plug in any car .... just I seriously don’t understand your goal, but I can’t give you a solution to this problem ...

[email protected], 00:41

GPS \ Glonass module, with the ability to connect the antenna to the body of the CU

honestly did not even wonder, but I think solved ...

[email protected], 00:41

possibility of branching HDMI for connecting a passenger monitor (splitter in port BU?)

Passenger monitor just the same I think you can connect to HDMI

[email protected], 00:41

Android OS 7-8

off the marshmalou axis ... as long as there is no nougat or oreo ((((and you don’t need it, because in that case you’ll torture yourself with the rest, better debian or Linux and customize to fit your needs, and write some kind of shell to fit your needs ...

[email protected], 00:41

powered by the car network (via the radio connector) (what do you need?)

You will need a DC - DC step-down converter calculated by 3 amps to lower the on-board voltage to 5 volts ...



In general, I do not have a car, I want to stir up a friend and later if I manage with a little blood, I can put it on stream ... how I’m going to experiment in a friend’s car, go deeper into the subject in more detail .... and write to me how I can help ...
