I just installed the latest armbian release  ( the desktop xenial I think). I can't get the touchscreen to work. The touchscreen I have is the one from the kickstarter ( i don't the specs right now). I added the gt9.. to the text file and I still get nothing. Is there another way?

In case anyone is searching for a way to emulate GB/GBA games on longsleep's Ubuntu, I can confirm that VisualBoyAdvance works fairly flawlessly. Because I'm using the 512MB board, I noticed a bit of a performance hit when emulating with a full Desktop Environment. To combat this, I'm using the very bare-bones XDE Windows Manager. The only issue I'm having currently is that it's not very convenient to use in a living room environment, as a keyboard (or SSH) is pretty much required to get everything setup (Mostly, selecting the ROMs). I'm sure a combination of a lightweight DE and some startup scripts can get it all working together without the need for keyboard input, though. 

If anyone knows any methods to navigate a GUI-less Ubuntu environment with an x-input device, I'd appreciate the input. The ideal setup would involve a startup script that could read the contents of a folder, select wanted ROM with the x-input device, and pass the selection to the pre-configured VBA emulator. 

Please let me know if I can provide any help or additional information.

since the pine 64 uses the pi2 pinout, would this work with my pine64 2gb?
Im looking to make a cheap but reliable NTP server to provide accurate ime to other ntp servers on my network.
Thanks

It now has a "Android 6.0.1 Image (LCD and HDMI Video Output) Release 20170209 [ver 2.0.1]" (below the 6.0 Image

I am trying the DD image for 32GB microSD Card. 

Resolution looks somehow low to me, even after changing to 1080p, when I connect via VNC it also looks low. Not sure... Will try some more...

Looking forward to other user's experiences with this OS image!

When attempting to develop via QEMU I get this error.     

I am currently using the Tianocore UEFI boot for my OSX Sierra VM and was wondering if I could also use it for this VM? I am looking to continue longsleep's kernel development work and create an up to date image for Arch Linux using the latest kernel. This is my only hangup so far so I can develop at full speed on my main Linux workstation.

I sometimes have to travel for work, and I'd love to be able to bring my pine64 with me.

I've heard that LiPo batteries aren't allowed on air travel in the U.S., but I've also heard that only "spare" batteries are banned. The TSA website didn't clear things up, it just says it's up to the agent at the airport whether it's allowed or not. Who wants to wait until they're at the airport to find out they can't bring something?

So I'm just curious if anyone here has travelled on a commercial flight with your Pine + LiPo battery, and if it was allowed?

Hello,

Does the Sopine offer a 16 bit parallel bus to transfer data between an FPGA and CPU? A synchronous interface would be fantastic. This is same as a traditional SRAM interface. 

Thx

Hi guys,
I am awaiting the arrival of my new Pine A64 +

I am interested in the idea of adding an E-Ink touchscreen...the objective is to create a device that is more powerful and has more functionality than my kobo mini ereader. However, i wish to maintain the small size (ie 5" screen preferrable but 6" is ok if only option). 

Has anyone got any ideas on how a capacitive (preferrable but IR is an option) E-Ink screen may be connected to a Pine A64 +?



I have a bit of experience in fixing the kobo mini (ie replacing broken screens, and unbricking etc).

I usually use kobo's to run a paragliding/gliding software called XCSoar (so im not interested in e-book usage). Essentially, the importance of this point is that XCSoar updates the screen often as it is used to display live map position, alititude, barometric pressure changes with altitude (Vario), temperature, airspeed etc. I am wanting to use a Pine A64 or something similar because i want to be able to access live weather from internet based sources whilst in flight (so the ability to multitask is important...access internet without shutting down xcsoar by switching between view windows)

At this point i aim to get internet connectivity either by hotspot tethering to a mobile phone, or using a USB mobile dongle connected directly.

kind regards
Adam

Dear All
