Hi,

I bought this board at the beginning from kickstarter, but I can´t find time to test it until now.

The problem is that the board can´t boot (I test with Android and linux) and if I connect to the serial console using PINE64 USB SERIAL CONSOLE/PROGRAMMER I get this:

I'm encountering a really frustrating problem. I'm trying to use my Pine64 in a headless configuration, so failing to boot is a big problem. When I plug into the console, the failure always seems to be at the point of loading "cfg80211". I don't have a wireless module and I don't want any such thing loaded. Any ideas?

Does the Android image support Ethernet?  I only see wifi under settings.

Just 'cuz.

The thermal is shifted right of the detail image but give the idea

Hello Everyone!

Now that we have a Pinebook forum I figured I'll post here and share some information with the community and use this as an opportunity to set the expectations about the device straight. A few days ago tllim received the finalised PCBs and the protective cases which the Pinebook will ship in. Once both the PCB and protective cases get green-lit, we expect BTO orders to start going out.  EDIT 1: The Pinebook site with a BTO section is now up on the Pine shop and the packaging is going though drop-tests. EDIT 8: Looks like the first BTO emails have gone out  

NB: We are aware of issues with the BSP Linux image that shipped with the Pinebook. To find out more please read this thread. 

You will be able to install new OS images using the Pine64 Installer available under Software & SDK tab here

Edit 9: There is a wide variety of OS images for the Pinebook availble. To view them all please visit the Pinebook Wiki site. Other popular sources for cutting-edge and pre-release OS images includes ayufan's github.

Hi boys,
I'd followed the guide reported at enable audio on jack instead hdmi
and now I can hear the sound by the headset, but I don't understand
why I can't record by the mic.

Can you help me please?
Tnanks in advance.

is it possible to connect 2 Ethernet port to SOPINE module? (100Mbps or 1000Mbps)
my target requirement will be 2 NIC  and 4 Serial ports

Hi, I have a Pine64 with Debian 8. Bought last July, finally getting around to setting it up as a fileserver. Installed x11vnc so that I don't need to keep it near a monitor.

I have the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module and the backup battery installed. I am able to connect to my home Wi-Fi network, but the connection is pretty unstable and when I check it by pinging out to www.yahoo.com I get at least 30% packet loss and ping times from 400-2500 ms. When I ssh in from another machine, I get a lot of lag in between typing characters. It's incredibly slow and unreliable.

My home network is fine, at least from the point of view of all the other machines. I can happily SSH around, I get good upload and download speeds, and ping to www.yahoo.com takes less than 100 ms.

I have the antenna for the Wi-Fi module attached to the inside top of the wooden case, so I don't think it's a signal problem. The Wi-Fi icon shows 53% signal strength; not great, but shouldn't be this bad.

What's likely to be the problem? What should I check?

I have a Pine64 with the Pine US Z-wave module running openHAB2. I'm finally starting to move my z-wave network over from my old and dying Aeon Z-Stick. Some of my z-wave devices do not seem to support Network Inclusion mode and need a controller to be in directly reachable. Am I out of luck if I cannot bring my Pine64 in range of these devices? Or is there a method to have a secondary controller that I can bring close to these devices for pairing?

If I'm better off just buying a new removable z-wave controller stick and scrapping my Pine64 then please let me know.

Thank you,
B34N
