What are the chances of Pine developing a much thinner board?

ie get rid of the double row full size USB hub and ethernet, as well as swapping the pin slots for ones with 90 degree facing ones?

The current board is incredibly thick when put inside a case...particularly when combined with touchscreen. This kind of configuration would want to replicate a relatively thin tablet configuration would it not?

Sorry, I am new to the forum, so I am starting this thread in the Linux section as I couldn't find a section for other operating systems.

I am running FreeBSD on a Pine 64 A+ 2GB board.
The image I am using is:

http://download.raspbsd.org/FreeBSD-aarc...06M.img.gz

It's designed to run headless, no HDMI yet.
I set it up using a serial FTDI converter hooked up to pins 7,8,9 of the Exp connector.

Then I added the FreeBSD 11 packages repo as per these instructions for a Pi3

http://www.raspbsd.org/raspberrypi.html

That all worked well, everything is running except on the serial console and in dmesg, I am getting spurious interrupts on irq 27 which I think is the SD card controller.

 gic0: Spurious interrupt detected: last irq: 27 on CPU1
 gic0: Spurious interrupt detected: last irq: 27 on CPU3

The messages only seem to occur when the SD card is being accessed. I tried a high speed SDHI card and it made no difference, the board is being powered off a 5A USB supply and drawing only about 100mA when the SD card is being accessed, so it doesn't seem to be a power issue.

Is anyone else running FreeBSD and getting the same spurious interrupts?

Hi guys,
I have just purchased and setup a Pine A64+ 2GB model.

Current setup is using a micro USB power supply (samsung galaxy wall charger 5v 2.0 AMP)
Wireless USB mouse and keyboard
HDMI Belken cable to LG E2360 monitor.
O/S is

• Remix OS 2.0 Image Release 20170105
  

Can someone please tell me what software I can use to edit the one text file on Boot so I can make the video work?  I do not have linux boot or computer to launch. I downloaded several things and all it did was brick my laptop. Don't want to do that again. Is there any reason we can't get an image with HDMI and LCD turned on out of the box? I'm learning a lot real fast, but this one has me stumped. Thanks!

I posted this in the general discussion thread; however, I am unsure if the post was removed (did not receive a notification) or if it did not post. I bought the WiFi adapter from Pine and accidentally broke it yesterday. There are two ends to it: the piece that attaches to the board and the black paper-like piece w/ adhesive (forgive me for my basic knowledge of the components). I accidentally detached the wire from where it was soldered onto the black paper-like piece while trying to unplug my pine and losing my grip. Is there any hope to fixing this (especially if I don't have a soldering iron)? I appreciate any help, thank you!

Also, I apologize if this is basic knowledge - I am very new to this whole micro computer thing, but I am really wanting to learn more about it. Thanks again!

Hey community,

this might be a nice small addition to your pine64 Linux setup. FireMotD now has Pine64 support. This means besides all the other interesting details it shows when you log in to your system, it now also shows the Pine A64 Board Revision you are on. Enjoy

I use Pine64 A64-DB-Rev B board and Debian Jessie.

I need read some GPIO pins (69 and 233 on RPI connector) using sysfs. I use pullup resistors (10k) to 3.3v. Measure voltage on these pins. I get 3 v.
Set direction to 'in'.
But, reading /sys/class/gpio/gpioXX/value i always got 0 !

If switch direction to out, then back to in, reading get 1 ! 

Simple script to test:

Hi,

I want to use Pine64 as a home-assistant.io server with homegear installed to control eq-3 max! thermostats. I managed to install all of the software but problem occurred after I connected CC1101 radio board to pine. I followed this diagram ti-cc1101.png which is for Raspberry but I found all of the pins with help from this site http://pixcl.com/wp/decaf-boards-and-the...rypie-2-3/ 
Unfortunately home-gear doesn't see the board and I can't figure out where is the problem. Do I need to change something in OS config or GPIO interface is not working in current development state?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Hey guys,

I had an old laptop laying around and I decided to rip it open and get the little cpu fan out so I could possibly hook it up to the Pine64 board. NOw.....there doesn't seem to be a hook up for this kind of connection. I was wondering if there was a possibility for me to just take the connector off and connect the wires up somewhere to get the fan going.

The reason I want a fan in there is because the bloody thing seems to over heat a little and freeze. Right now I have it outside of the case and it hasn't froze yet, so that indicates to me, that it's been an over heating issue for the processor. Please refer to the picture below and tell me how I could go about connecting this little fan. It actually had a little heat sinc hooked up to it as well...I suppose I could put the heat sinc on as well if I wanted to improve cooling even more.

Thanks guys...

I'm looking for a camera with a longer ribbon cable, but I'm not sure how to tell what is/is not compatible. Can someone give me a clue? Feel free to point me to the right wiki page or board spec. I have the original 2 GB Kickstarter Pine64 board.

I searched the forums and didn't find the info. I searched the Wiki, but might not have understood what I was looking at (if I came across the right page).

Thanks,
