Hello
I have just installed to my pinebook the Xenial image. What games do you have tried?

In March of 2014 I wrote a transcendental functions module for python ( in pure python ) which leverages the relatively new Decimal module; especially fast in Python3 on x86 machines.  

As it turns out these routines are also especially fast in Python3 on the Rock64 and the Pinebook;  although, I have used them to benchmark on the PineA64 also;  fast in its own right. 

The Decimal module is written and optimized in C.  My module(s) live on pypi and are being made available here for others who may want to experiment with big-nums maths or who may specifically want to run my PI benchmarks themselves. The pdeclib pilib module(s) will run on python2 or python3 unchanged;  they may be run in the REPL in "calculator" mode or they may be easily scripted.  The module(s) provide transcendental functions to arbitrary precision as well provide several PI routines which converge relatively quickly -- particularly fast is   piagm2().  These routines are also useful for those who want to study maths codes for convergent series. 

The pdeclib package may be obtained here:

The package contains pdeclib.py (the main transcendental functions module) and pilib.py (several useful historical PI routines).  I hope they are useful, but recognize that they may not be complete, nor free from bugs;  however, they are intended to be used and studied, and they have been available on-line for several years.

To use the modules simply place the two files in a working directory (or in your PythonPath) and then run the python REPL of choice in that directory , or path.  Then import the modules in the normal way:

>>>  from pilib import *

The module pilib will import pdeclib;  although pdeclib may be imported alone.  The default number of digits used is 42.  This may be changed with the function:

>>>  dscale(1010)

The above will set the number of big-num Decimal places to 1,010.  To compute PI run:

>>>  piagm2()

Read through the source (header and readme files) for caveat(s) and to find the syntax of the various functions provided by the package. There are no blobs, and the source is 100% pure python code;  what you see is what you get.

The following script is a Python3 example script for running the PI benchmark on any of the Pine boards and a gnu+linux image.  Its a simple script which starts the Python interpreter, imports the requisite modules, and executes the piagm2()  AGM PI routine, to 1010 places.  This result will be accurate to +|-  in the last two places.  The signature digits for the 1000th place are  164201989.  Also, at position 762 you will find six nines ... 999999.

Huh, looks familiar...

Hello!

I can't download the PineWifiServer.gz file from the wiki page.
All the links in the Program/Driver section of the Downloads except the first three are not working.
Is there any other place I can get the Wifi Server.

Best regards

Edit (15/10/2017) Newest pre-release image allows you to set display mode to fix flickering. Check ayufan's git. 

It seems that the newest batch (as of 04/08/2017) of Pinebooks shipped with an older Ubuntu image based on 3.10.105-bsp-1.2-ayufan-59 (you can check if your's is running this version by typing uname -a in terminal). 

Some Pinebook's experience screen flickering while running this kernel version, which is solved by upgrading to newest release version. 

To update your installation navitgate to /usr/local/sbin and run the following update scripts:

There are schematics listed. However, these schematics don't seem to match the actual hardware, and thus are quite useless.

Are the actual schematics known?

ayufan just released the latest Linux Images (0.4.16-83) for ROCK64. Please visit his GitHub for released notes and visit the related links below on our Wiki:

Hello everyone! where i can get the Information if it’s possible to power up/down the USB-ports seperately?
I' m not sure if the information under the storage section at http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/ROCK64_Main_Page :

• 1 USB3.0 Dedicated Host port
  
• 2 USB2.0 Dedicated Host port (one of them is USB-OTG)
  

Pine64 corp when will you have Ubuntu linux ready?

You promised I think in one of the videos a demonstration of Linux on pine64. It would be good to see it now, especially since the delays.

I wonder if it is possible to get the whole parts of a pinebook 11 to assembly it by myself.

- Why?

Just for fun of make things!

Thanks for reading me.
