So it seems people are limited to 5x amount of any particular type of board on each order. Example, one is restricted to only adding 5x Rock64 (2GB). One minor workaround is adding 5x of a different type such as Rock64 (4GB) or 5x Pine64. 

It becomes a problem if those are not the type of board you want or if  you're looking to buy larger quantities of a specific soc. 

I think one can break larger purchase into multiple orders but it can feel like an inconvenience from a shopper pov.

On the flip side, i do understand that there's a flat shipping rate. And for instance, shipping say 50 boards order  under a fixed flat rate $8 as opposed to shipping 5 boards, would not be ideal from a business and cost perspective.

Is there a middle ground to this? Like flat rates when quantity of each type in the cart does not exceed 5, but system cart switches to a variable rate when a quantity type is greater than 5?

Hi, I am having trouble checking down the connector and FPC info and were to get them? Can someone direct me to a link. 
I would like to put a small adapter board together for a 8MP sensor.

Hi all,

I am using centos7.4, and want to change the mac address? Can someone assest me the right direction? How to change the mac address of the Pine64. I found that link but I cant understand the logic. DTS
P.S. I am totally newbie, so step by step instructions would be helpfull. 
Thanks.

    You guys have left me in shock, this beats anything in the last 5 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello,
I used the Pine64 installer to install a "Community Debian Stretch Mate". Indicated version, in July 2018 is : 0.5.15
Beautiful installer, everything fine but the display : it is locked to 800x600, and somewhere a message indicates that the display card is not recognised. I thought I would find a solution and set up the Linux, and used it for some time. But nothing was found to fix the display problem.
Further tests showed that only the 0.6.x versions give me the normal resolution of the display (1280 x 1024 DVI). I tried with :

• Community Debian Stretch Mate (0.5 : Bad)
  
• Community Debian Stretch Minimal (0.6 : OK)
  
• Community Bionic Lxde (0.6 : OK)
  
• Community Xenial Mate (0.5 : Bad)
  

Hi! I live in the EU and i ordered a Rock64 on 14th of June. On the 20th my order was shipped. However, since 27th of June, there is no progress regarding the shipping, the tracking is stuck on Shenzhen, leave Shenzhen to Shenzhen Postal Courier Company (Hong Kong) Business Department

As far as i know, most shipments take 6-15 business days to arrive, but mine has been en route for 16 days now, with no chance of it being delivered anytime soon. I have sent an e-mail to the sales department, but got no reply. Can anyone help me?

Order: #62235
Tracking number: LZ479139910CN

Any feedback is appreciated! 

Has anyone had any experience using SPI channel 1 for connecting to things other than flash?

I've set-up my system to use the Armbian distro for Pine64SO.

There's a driver for spi compiled into the kernel, but it looks as if the hardware is disabled in the Device-Tree file (/boot/dtb/sun50iw1p1-pine64so.dtb) so that the pins can be used for UARTs 3 and 4.

I've modified the dtb file to disable these UARTs an enable SPI-1 (spi@01C69000), but when I reboot with this modified dtb file. The system fails to bring-up Ethernet. After modifying the logging system to store the logs somewhere persistent, it appears that there's a crash somewhere in sunxi_mdio_reset(), probably at the first time it accesses hardware. This seems a bit weird as the pins used by SPI channel-1 are not used by any of the Ethernet hardware. I'm wondering if there's some kind of interrupt or clock-speed conflict.

At the moment I'm trying to find a UART so that I can watch the console as it boots, but I wondered if anyone else had been down this road before.

Hi, I would like to know if there are compatible 10.1" touchscreen displays with the PINE64-LTS or ROCKPro64 boards (unfortunately, this is a constraint for my project)..
Do you help me ?
Thanks, L.A.

I am running MATE Desktop Environment 1.16.2 on Rock64. The device was given to me to set up a monitoring display but I am not sure if I have an admin account. I have logged in with the creds rock64 [username] and rock64 [password].

When I go to the Control Centre I only see Hardware, Internet and Network, Look and Feel and Personal under Groups. I saw in screenshots there should be an Administrator panel available. I can only assume the account I am logged in with has limited access.

I have tried booting into GRUB by holding in ESC and then again SHIFT on start up as read on a few posts. Later I read I need to hold down shift on a grey splashscreen which I don't see so I tried the login screen but that didn't work. I've tried various root combinations suggested such as debian debian but none work.

I am not really accustomed to Linux so this is all new to me and this is the first time I've even seen a Pine. 

My goal is to change the power settings so that it never goes into sleep mode but now I also want to get the root account so I at least know what it is.  

Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

I tried to flash the latest Armbian (Armbian_5.50.180630_Pine64_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_4.17.3) on my A64+. When starting I get the following message:



Anybody have any idea what might go wrong? I know it's not stable yet.
After that message I get a black screen.
