[Pipo-Project]Freaktab to Continue Pipo Firmware Support on Discontinued Models

[f0k4l]

Well with this good news I would like to share something that happens with my m9pro when hooked up to a TV via HDMI. Don't know if it can be fixed via firmware or not but worth mentioning I suppose. So when its hooked up to a 37 inch TV it can play at 1080p just fine. When I hook it up to my 47 inch TV, it can't.. It plays for a little while and the video cuts off and on. I tried reducing to 50hz, same thing. Also same thing for 720p all hz. Only could get it stable @ 480p.. Which doesn't look very nice.

I thought this was strange because my wife's older Acer A110 7 inch, which has a dual core and 1gb ram.. Not sure on the video processor (doubtful its better) can play @ 1080p on the 47 just fine..

Thanks for the info. When we get to the M9 Pro, we can take a look at HDMI settings.

Be sure to check with other cables too. Tablet had less power tot send out the signaal than the laptop. the bigger tv could be more picky on the incomming signal strength. If you can, try a friends cable. Had the same problems whith several devices (raspberry pi). Changing the cable fixed it.

Just an update on our progress.

Pipo has prepared a package of sources, but the file size is so big...they can't upload it to their cloud for me to download...so they are sending it to me on a TF card. So our project is in the hands of DHL. Hahaha!!!!!!! It will be about a week before we get our hands on the sources.

Great news....I think I can speak for almost everyone here and say how much we appreciate all your efforts keeping our Pipo tablets up to date and viable.

I'm not surprised they can't find a hosting service that could be accessed as easily from china as from the western world.
Things progress,
I have faith in a future which could be for our little tablets

Hi Randy,

You might have them look into the UNIX "split" command to break it up into bite sized chunks. Then at your end "cat *.chunks > bigbinaryfile.tar.gz". The program creates the chunks alphabetically, so the wildcard expands in the correct order. The man page tells all.

... and md5sums. for the love of all that is good in the world, always supply and use md5sums to check everything transferred ok. it's a great habit to get into and is the gateway skill to PGP signing your new builds.

nothing beats good old analogic transmission...

...via brick and mortar transport means like a physical 8 or 16GB flash memory shipped in a boeing especially when your upstream speed will prevent you from painfully uploading gigabytes of file thru the "great firewall" of doom.

1 week delay is nothing for us who have waited for ...years for this blessed event to occur.

Hahaha!!!!!!

Tf card should be around your town by now :-D

Let me know if it does't turn up Randy, We could get Anna to send the files to me. I can then upload to either dropbox or my own ftp server in the USA for you to grab.
