Hi, somebody knows about a power supply alternative for Pinebook that can be buyed on Ebay or Amazon? the shipping is expensive from Pine Store (I need to send the package to Miami and later to Panama) and is know for all that the power supply provided is not good if we look at the quality

I based this image of xailus Gentoo image, found here https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...ght=gentoo 
I used this upgrade procedure found here on server_fault, (answer with 5 upvotes)

It uses the new Gentoo 17.0 profile
~arm64
gcc version
[1] aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-7.2.0 *
binutils version
[1] aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-2.29.1 *
glibc version
ldd (Gentoo 2.26-r3 p4) 2.26


As this uses the experimental branch it's advised to keep this system up to date.

It's sized for a 32gb sd card and LZMA compressed.

Next job is for the installing the mainline kernel which is being tested.


Happy compiling!

Hi everyone, 

Just received my Rock64 board, and as a test tried many software images. I noticed a common problem in all these distros including new 4.13 kernels.

When a USB3 device is plugged the kernels go into continuous  fault:

As I'm here in Europe I was wondering if there is an faster way to get affordable emmc modules that are compatible with rock64.

The transport costs on pine64 are simply too much for this tiny module.

What are the chances of a premium Pinebook using your Rock64 SBC design?

As I see it, there are several advantages to a Rock64-based design.

1. Rocketchip has moved beyond binary blobs that Allwinner requires
   
2. Larger RAM support (up to 4 GB)
   
3. USB 3.0
   
4. GPIO pins
   
5. Uses the same pluggable eMMC storage modules as other Pine64 products
   

Hello all!

I'm hoping I'm missing something simple, but I'm having a hard time setting up WiFi.

I've created a wpa_supplicant.conf and filled it with my network details, and created wlan0 with a similar config to the wlan1 file, and yet couldn't get the WiFi to start.

Also tried a guide for Raspberry Pi 3 (at-least-you-tried.jpg) as well and had no luck there (no wiconfig tool?).

Is there a guide to setting up WiFi on the minimal installs, or are they designed to only be set up using an Ethernet adapter?

I wanted to know if it was possible to develop a Rock64 Portable Console, with a controller inside of it like this:

Hey 

I wanted to suggest a design change for the next generation:

only screws on the bottom nothing to click in

Sorry if this has been posted in other threads.  I looked but I didn't find anything recent.  I am looking at possibly purchasing this for Android TV.  I was wondering using the stock android image if Netflix works, and if so will it work in 4k?  Also has anyone been able to use Youtube TV with it?

Thanks

Hey,

just bought this sound POT (https://www.pine64.org/?product=pine64-s...-pot-board) and unfortunatelly I am unable to detect. Tried Volumio (latest and the 2017-05-11 image), Tried Base Xenial image without any success.

Apparently, the board has ES9023 chip, but I don't even know whether the board was detected or not. aplay -l does not list it, any other commands how to detect it, are unknown to me.

If you have any directions, where to look at, please let me know. I am trying to build simple music box (like Volumio) with this hardware.

Thank you in advance...
