Red Sun Rising !

Originally bought my PineA64+ 2GB during the original Kick Starter campaign but took me a while to get around to opening the box - OK quite a while...

But it appears to be DOA. 

I downloaded the Debian Jessie MATE  from the 'official' website wrote it to an approved SD card, connected everything, applied power and nothing.
I checked pulled the power connection, reseated all the cables (USB - mouse/kbd, Ethernet, HDMI) and SD card, then replugged in the power and again nothing.

I rolled over the mouse and no light. Checked the keyboard caps & num lock keys and also no light.
Pulled power and swapped kbd & mouse cables, reconnected power. This time got light on mouse but nothing on kdb lock lights and still no boot.

Pulled power and again reseated all cables and SD card. Now no light on the mouse again.

All during these attempts nothing shows up on the monitor.

Ideas?


As a side note the mouse, keyboard, monitor, ethernet, etc. are all used frequently when working with my Raspberry Pi boards, so not a kbd / mouse / monitor / enet cable problem.

I tried to use pinebook as audio recording machine with a tascam US122, which works fine with most linux flavours after installing alsa-firmware package. But the linux version shipped with the pinebook (upgraded to 3.10.105-bsp-1.2-ayufan-77) lacks the module snd-usb-usx2y, so the soundcard is not recognized.

Downloading the source (alsa-driver-1.0.25+dfsg) and trying to compile (when running configure) gives

Hi~
This is my first time to build Android for A64, but I have a question for download AOSP and BSP source code. I have downloaded "Source code (zip)" from "https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/android-7.1/releases/tag/0.3.5", but it seem only teach download repo and github-release. I also saw "manifest.xml", but how to download source code with one file "manifest.xml"? Where can I find the step? Many thanks!

Hi,

I submitted a support ticket back in May to try to get the bad GB Ethernet hardware issue resolved, but I still haven't received a reply.
For my application of the Pine, I really need the gigabit ethernet working.
If this is the wrong forum for this post, please point me in the right direction.

Thanks

I'm interested in the mid-term prospect of sopine clusters.  Trying to minimize both unit cost and deployment costs, I'd prefer not having to purchase storage for each sopine compute module.  Is a solution available to a) network boot / pxe boot sopine compute modules and b) do so from just the SPI flash, with no other local storage?  Documentation and/or SPI Flash images for this welcomed.  I'd obviously need a server on the network to provide network booting resources. 

Bonus question - I've seen writings about a 7 module board being in-development for sopine.  Can an "imperfect" dev / PoC / pre-release board be purchased?

is there a gravity sensor for the pine A64 ? , its needed for gaming in android

   


The pic above shows the RTL8188EU usb2.0 wifi adapter from the Pine Store.  I have been testing this $7.00 adapter for the past day;  running great ! 

This usb2.0 adapter has a fabulous adjustable external antennae and a really good signal;  connection has been solid with no drops or errors;  a really great on-on for the Rock64 !

Greetings,

I'm using this iHome keypad with my Pinebook.

This is the less expensive one;  there is a nicer brushed metal unit, but of course more $$$

...  this one is the cabled usb keypad;  I have it plugged into the left-hand usb port -- works well.  All scan codes are correct, as well all keysym(s). 

I'm installing winxp by qemu virtual machine.
