Hi there!

I'll buy the P64+ 2GB Starter Kit and a co-worker told me that in some RPI not all hard disks are compatible.
I want to know some good 3TB HDD available in Amazon for use it with the P64.

Do you recommend some specific brand?

Please, note HDD not SSD.

Thanks! 

Hi together!

I need help with my Pine64 2GB RAM Board.

The problem is a very long boot time, if ethernet is unplugged. The systems hangs on "[XXXXXXXX] Call trace:".
Nothing else behind this note.
The system boots completely after 4-7 minutes, but only if ethernet is unplugged.
If ethernet is plugged in, the system starts within 1 minute.

It doesn't matter which version of Pine64 I'm using, because I already tried 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB of RAM.

Some information about my setup:
- Ubuntu 16.04 with updated kernel and U-Boot via update scripts.
- installed WiFi-/Bluetooth module.
- Static IP address via WiFi in /etc/network/interfaces and router.
- No connection via ethernet, just via WiFi.
- Samsung Evo microsd card.
- Official Pine64 power supply from Pine64 shop.
- Deleted standard MAC address.

Please help me with my little problem.

Best regards
Julian

Ok, weird issue here. I hooked up the standard lcd and wifi module but the screen just stays black.
I re-hooked and triple checked each of the connections and the best I got was a quick white flash of the LCD screen then black. I tried a different SD card but no joy. I have a replacement LCD cable inbound but I'm not sure that's the real issue.

Anyone run into this before? I didn't have an hdmi monitor I could test with at this time to make sure the board's working but that's a task for tomorrow.

Thanks!

Would it be possible to somehow connect and run a GPU into a Pine 64 for cryptocurrency mining purposes?  

Any hardware that might be able to make a PCI-e 1x connection interface with this hardware?

I need to use flashrom utility for flashing my bios rom. And flashrom need spi and spi device should be in spidev0.0 how can i do that in pine64? I searched a lot but i couldnt found. Someone said i should change device tree but i dont know how. Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Has anyone had luck using i2c in android ?

Does the board offer a way to measure the battery's output voltage? It would be good to estimate the remaining battery charge.

Anyone else have issues with occasionally not being able to boot their Pine with a known good image?

When doing a reboot, usually because the kernel updated during an apt-get, sometimes it takes six or seven tries (pulling the power, inserting the power) before it will boot back up. I'm running headless, but if I plug a monitor in, the screen is just blank when it doesn't boot.

After six or seven unplug/replug, it boots up fine and is 100% stable until it comes time to reboot again.

I have tried other images on other SD cards, same issue.

Any ideas what it could be?

Hello everyone,

  I was compiling OpenWRT today for one SoC and I notice that OpenWRT is supporting ARMv8 / arm64 for Allwinner.
  I compiled it for testing in Pine64, but the problem is the u-boot. Even reading longsleep post, I'm not sure if I did the right thing.

 So, anyone already make anything about OpenWRT (or tired) for pine64?


Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I need to assemble a simple videoconference station based on Skype.

Is Pine64 a possible solution?

Can I use a usb camera (logitech)?
Can I add a remote to control the station?

Thanks in advance for your answer.
best regards.
