This is my first experiment with bringing some of the A64 gpio mux lines to the outside via the SD card slot;  SDIO.  These are data lines D0-D3, CMD, CLK, VDD, & VSS.  The lines are gpio160 - gpio166;  PF0 - PF6.

The pic above is the 48cm ribbon cable that extends the SD micro slot to a full size card adapter;  this ribbon is useful in itself;  but I plan to modify it for pin access on a solderable bread-board.

         

These two shots are the modified ribbon cable;  this was actually easier than I expected.  The cable will extend under the notebook.

         

The two shots above show the finished cable running;  I have the green and red LED(s) initially connected to CMD and CLK.  These are pulsing at regular 3/4 second intervals (or so).  The gpio(s) are not useful in this state;  next I need to hack the dts and make sure that the pin function register has '0' s.

I want to use Citrix receiver,but we can do to download it
that made by ARM HF and ARM LF architecture on Citrix web site.
But ARM HF and ARM LF are diffarent from ARM64  architecture.
Can Pinebook run a software made by ARM HF or ARM LF architecture?
Or is there any other good way?

I have an old MIPI LCD panel. It works fine with pine64 2GB version. I want to rotate the screen 180deg. I checked the board schematic and found the MIPI L/R Pin is 0, U/D is 1, which means LCD is mirrored and upside down.

       

So, I want to make L/D pin 1, U/D pin 0, which means LCD is in default direction according to the datasheet. Move the resistor R113 to R112, R111 to R110. I have two problems:

1. Where is the R110 to R113 on board?
2. The resistors are very tiny and it is difficult to move them. I am using Android 6. Is this have other way to rotate screen 180deg without rotate the touch panel?

I just received my pinebook and I'm enjoying getting used to it, so far I'm using the installed Ubuntu/Mate system.

There are two aspects of the audio output that I wonder about.

1) low volume
2) speakers stay on when I plug in headphones.

The volume function buttons are working, but the highest volume is not loud enough

Hi
How can we add a battery and a charging circuit on Rock64 ?
And can rock64 display the battery status on the android 7.1 image ?
Thanks

Hola, qué onda??!!

Escribo desde Argentina, acabo de recibir una Pinebook, tengo conocimientos re básicos pero le pongo garra...

Intenté instalar Android en el equipo, pero al bootear no pasa nada. Uso el instalador de Pine y las imágenes de Android que se fueron posteando acá.

Alguien me lee (y entiende)?

Saludos!

I've supported PINE64 project from its beginning. I wanted to use it for my electronics projects as a self-contained unit (i.e., without lugging a big monitor, Ethernet cable, mouse/keyboard, etc.). This means it has to work with the LCD touch panel sold along with it.

I have tested the following three OSs with these criteria:
1) The OS has to support GPIO access
2) The OS has to support working WiFi
3) The OS has to support LCD Touch panel

Here are the results:

Android 6.0.1: 2) and 3), but not 1)
Android 7.1: 1) and 2), but not 3)
openSUSE for PINE64: 1) and 3), but not 2) (astonishingly, it does not want to work with the Realtek WiFi driver!)

Is there ANY operating system out there that supports 1), 2), and 3)? Will there ever be?

hi
In the pinebook smallboard schematics why there is pcie ports in the 40 pin connector
and why RTS5229 is there as sd card ports are there
as mostof the pcie pin are grounded in the 40 pin connector on the mainboard schematics
Thanks

I've tried to flash the only andorid tv image found in the pine64 etcher tool, which I believe was 7.1, I couldn't find netflix in the app store.  Is there an existing image that will allow me to easily install the netflix?  I'm not sure how to manually install the app from the android tv interface.  If that is my only option does anyone have some steps I could follow?
