Asus Tinker Board

Ah, just figured out how to rotate the screen. When logged in as “linaro”.
Open a terminal and do:

cd ~
nano .xsessionrc

Paste the following in the file and remove the # in front of the row (left or right) you want to rotate the screen. I am using left myself. :)

#!/bin/sh

## To rotate left enable below line.
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate left

## To rotate right enable below line.
#xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right

Reboot to test. :)

All the same modules installed and here is the “nmon” result…
To the left is the “Tinker Board” and to the right is the “Raspberry Pi 3”. :)

@Snille impressive!

@Snille MMM-SystemStat should be modified for CPU temperature. ATB write cpu temp on different location.

Snille

@Sean Yes, I noticed. I actually disabled the MMM-SystemStats module for now. It’s complaining too much in the log. :)

Hi again. Tried another OS called Armbian. I like the “looks” better to start with. So if you are going to use you Tinker Board for something else then being a MM. Maybe it’s a nicer alternative then TinkerOS. But for MM, it’s not. The over all CPU usage is even higher then on the RPi3… Tough, it seems to be X that’s hogging most of the CPU… It’s running XFCE instead of LXDE so, maybe that’s the reason…

If you want to play with even more OS:es you can find lot’s here.

@Snille Have you find tvservice equivalent? I cannot find how to turn on/off display programmatically on TB.
Will tvservice building work?

could use a hand as there doesn’t seem to be much support in the community which is odd!

Got one today, loaded a fresh sd card with a fresh install of their newest os and i can’t get it to boot! It swirls around and around for a while loading different things but eventually just crashing:/ Anyone else have this issue? Power supply?

A Former User

@ranger33 maybe. Over 2.5A is recommended.

Snille

@Sean Oh, I missed your comment. I have not clue. :) Have not yet tested the turn off stuff. :)
