Just curious...there was another thread but it dropped off back in May and it seemed like no one had received an update since December.

Several people said they'd put in multiple BTOs over last summer and never gotten any contact.

Are Pinebooks still being produced?  I put my BTO in for a 14" a couple weeks ago and while I don't expect it tomorrow, if it's going to be six months without updates, I won't get my expectations up :-)

Has anyone been able to successfully do video chat with Pine64?
I'm trying to setup my Pine64 board running Android 6 (https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/android-6.0/releases) to do video chat using Skype, Whatsapp, Duo and Hangout and face the following problems.

1) There is no audio with the PINE64 5 MEGAPIXEL CAMERA MODULE as this does not have microphone. Is there a way to add a microphone to this camera?

2) If i try to use my usb Logitech Webcam (which has a mic), i can not switch to it, but get an error that the "device is busy. It could be used by another app". I know that the webcam works correctly, but it doesn't work with Pine64

If anyone has successfully done this, can you please share your solutions?

Thank you in Advance...

looks like rock64, rockpro64, placed in top 20 this year,  and that is a good thing.

   

hello friends,

Although the movidius NCS doesn't officially support the rock64, I was able to modify the install scripts to get it working. I went with the Bionic-LXDE operating system (since it appears to be the most stable DE). Note that this is version 1 of the SDK. Future plans is to convert version 2 soon.

I created a github repo with instructions on how to set everything up
https://github.com/markjay4k/ncsdk-aarch64

basically just 

https://www.openbsd.org/arm64.html

After some problems with my 0.6.44 install, I decided to go for a fresh installation.

I tried to wipe my 64GB eMMC to carry out a fresh install but whatever I did, it was no longer accessible by Etcher in Win 10 or Linux (Xubuntu 18.04). I tried many things such as deleting partitions in gparted, but gparted could not delete partitions nor set up a new partition table.

Both Win10 and Linux insisted that the eMMC was only 32MB in size, so I was stuck, however I was able to load xenial mate image 0.5.15 onto a SD Card, and use the pin shorting method to get this onto the eMMC card, as described in the wiki article. Pine wiki rock software releases

That ran fine, so I knew that the eMMC card was not faulty, however I also knew that the update would break the OS, which it duly did.

Eventually, out of desperation, I flashed an SD Card with aufan's 0.6.44 image and running that, with the eMMC installed, I managed to do the following on the Rock 64

1. Through gparted, I deleted the main root partition, the one that was over 50gb in size.
   
2. I ran /usr/local/bin/rock64_reset_emmc.sh (sudo ./rock64_reset_emmc.sh) (I took a clue from the wiki - noobs - troubleshooting your device, although the advice was for the Pine64 and was about using /ussr/local/sbin/update_script.sh which was not available for the rock64 - yes I was getting desperate with what appeared to be a dead eMMC card)

Thanks to @jmcneill for creating the builds!!!

• Download latest from http://www.invisible.ca/arm/
  
• dd'it to a microsd. In linux:
  

• Plug the microsd into the pine
  
• Boot the pine and wait for a couple of reboots (disk expansion)
  
• Login as root (no password)
  
• Configure password for root user
  

• Create user (in my case, 'edu') and add it to the wheel group
  

• Edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf with the appropriate ssid/psk:
  

• Editing /etc/rc.conf to enable wpa_supplicant at boot. Notice my usb wireless adapter is urtwn0 (ifconfig will show you all the adapters):
  

• Start wpa_supplicant service:
  

• Verify it:
  

I've had my Pinebook since July of last year but haven't been using it as much as I thought I would.  

I have a 14" Pinebook with 16 GB eMMC that has seen maybe 15 hours of use since I received it.  The screen has one dead pixel (it arrived like that from the factory) but other than that is in great condition. 

I'm located in the US in Philadelphia and could meet locally or ship.  I can provide pictures upon request as well as proof of purchase.

$90 + Actual Shipping Costs  (Send me a message with your shipping address and I can look up costs)


(I had posted a thread earlier looking for a trade, but didn't get any bites.  If that may interest you check out the original thread here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5975)

Running under the Android OS. v7, I think.

My Rock 64 often will not make an ethernet connection to my router during boot up or alternatively it connects initially but then drops its connection randomly, while streaming video, and then will not reconnect on reboot.

Other devices on the network, computers/phones have no problem with their connection, either wired (computers) or wireless(phones only).

I've swapped over cables and wall blocks without any change. These experiments suggest the problem lies with the Rock64 itself as its connective hardware has been substituted for known good items and the problem persists.

Its a bit of a nuisance.

Can anyone suggest a solution before I run off and buy a wireless dongle?

Thanks in advance as always.
