Hi,
i'd like to use my board (pine64+ with 1 gb) for some OpenCV...
I'm planning to capture short videos and analyze them using OpenCV.

I've read the posts on the camera module and from what I get, it seems a bit weak on capturing videos and such.
In comperison i'm looking at a simple webam ( almost the same price).

What do i get from using the camera module (except the compact size and free usb port..)

Thanks ahead.

Any chance we will ever see the BSP?

I would love to get my hands on the source with drivers no matter what shape it is in.

I am willing to work on it and smooth out some of the rough edges and contribute back to the community.
I am an embedded Microsoft MVP ready to help.
Lots of experience on other IoT Core platforms and toolchain.

I have a serrious issue. Got yesterday my new Pine 64 with 2 gb delivered .i Have no sound over HDMI nor Audio jack
Installed Android 7 
have tried the android 6 /Lollypop/and 5.1. with no result
Please Help:Thank you

I've been using my Pine64 to host my Plex and Transmission torrent server. Lately, I've noticed that the server only stays alive for ~1 day before becoming unresponsive (meaning I cannot SSH into it, but the power light remains on). I'm hoping someone here has an idea or suspicion for what's going on because I'm at a loss.


Hardware setup:

• Pine64 - 1GB board
  
  
• Externally powered USB 2.0 hub
  
  
• 1TB USB 3.0 Drive
  
  
• 2TB USB 3.0 Drive
  
• Heatsink on cpu
  

• Plex Media Server (Plex application data is on 1TB drive, media is on 2TB drive)
  
  
• Transmission daemon (writes to 1TB drive)
  
  
• PlexPy (monitoring)
  
  
• DynDNS (for easy-to-remember CNAME for Transmission + Plex)
  
  
• sshd
  

I installed Android 6.0 via the link in the wiki.

Android 6.0 Image (HDMI Video Output) Release 20170112 [ver 2.0.1]

Where do we log feedback/bugs?

Hello Plex64 fans,

I managed to install Plex Media Server and the Player on the Pine64. It runs well, 1080p flawlessly, 4k, not so much.

Here's how to get it done:

1. Install Android 7 TV
   • Download android-7.0-pine-a64-tv-v1.11.0-r67.img.gz from https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/android-7.0/releases
     
   • Unarchive it
     
   • Burn it to an SD Card using https://etcher.io/
     
   • Boot Pine64
     
2. Install Plex for Android from the Play Store
   
3. Install Plex Media Server
   • Download the apk: https://apkplz.com/android-apps/plex-media-server
     
   • Copy it to a USB drive, plug it in the Pine
     
   • Open ES File Explorer on the Pine64 and install the app
     
   • Open Android Settings > Apps > Plex Media Server - "Open"
     
   • It will set itself up, ask for folders. Just follow the prompts.
     
   • Finally, it will tell you to open Plex Player you installed in Step #2. Do so.
     
   • Plex Player will ask you to link a Plex account on your PC by visiting https://plex.tv/link. Go ahead.
     
4. Setup Plex Media Server
   • On the Pine, go to Network Settings > Ethernet - jot down the IP address. e.g. 192.168.1.128
     
   • On a computer open that IP address to port 32400. e.g. http://192.168.1.128:32400
     
   • Your good old Plex Media Server interface will show up. 
     • Log in with your Plex Account
       
     • Set up media folders.
       
     • Enjoy.
       

Hey everyone, I ordered an infrared remote and a couple of micro sd cards which roughly came out to be the same price as a pine a64 2gb board. That is what I ended up with which is ok since I actually had planned on ordering another one at some point. I just ordered a few other things including another wifi/bluetooth adapter. I was just wondering if maybe that is how the order got screwed up. Maybe they just saw the total and assumed I ordered a board??? Anyways I spent more than that this time and I am patient and will wait as long as it takes as long as all the stuff I ordered shows up. I will post a screenshot of my order in case anyone needs it. All the info I could find said to post something here.

i have been trying in vain to get a bootable 16G micro SD card with SentOS and Android for a while now. no luck.
i have tried numerous programs like etcher and it always fails in validation.
not sure what i am doing wrong. 
tried 2 diff computers with W10.

Dear All,

In my project I need 8 inch display, I found goodix 911gt 8 inch cpt but I need 8 inch mipi panel too. Can anybody suggest me a screen that I can configure for pine64 without so much effort?

Edit: I try to find manufacturer website but I couldnt find anything. Maybe same manufacturer has 8 inch version too.

Thanks

So, first off if this has been asked before, apologies for repeating. 

My pine has collected dust for the past few months, since I ran into some issues with ubuntu and getting the pine to install and run some of the apps I needed (big data / hadoop etc.). That and wifi never running even though it does with android.

What I'd like to use my pine for is the following; 1) file server (2 1tb usb drives) 2) printer server and potentially media center 3) and pie in the sky a render server (would need a lot of work in win IoT for that).

I've tried to get the two latest android releases running (6.x and 7.x) but for some reason my touchscreen wouldn't work. On 5.1.1 it did work, but the touch part would not (on the 5.1.1 tv). On the android version that shipped with the pine i am able to access my usb drives, though no touch screen, and apparently no usb printer support in android what so ever.

So my question is, how would you all go about this? What os would you use, what configs, etc?
