Hi all


I am having problems with my Pine64. I have followed all the steps, but once I connect the board to the internet, via the WiFI module or the ethernet cable, it stops working.
There is absolutely nothing I can do, the screen goes grey or black and that is all.

I can disconnect the cable and then try again and it will work, but as soon as I reconnect... gone.

Is there anything I can do?

I will appreciate any information you can give me

(I'm trying the Android 6.0 IMG - I have a Pine 2GB board and I have tried other OS and the same happens)

Many thanks,

After doing ALL the recommended moves on sdcard stuff, power supply stuff and hdmi cable stuff I still can't find my board anywhere, no HDMI, noshow on DHCP lists. and THEN tried a 3rd HDMI cable.  But I have blinking network lights and a solid red. Its a 1gig board, i've tried debian and ubuntu.<s> Its too bad. </s>I like the idea of a 64bit board, I could run MongoDB on it and other things the Pi just can't do. Maybe if I had my mac address I could find it.

Third HDMI Cable worked got me a screen, /sbin/ifconfig got me my ip and mac address. I changed my lyksys router so instead of being among the nameless 'network device"s, I've got it to associate that mac address with "pine64" Hooray, I'm glad I revisited this, I had almost put it aside for good.

I am not sure if this is possible but am asking if it is possible to combine two Sopine a64 's with a video bridge to use both video on chipsets as one similar to a graphics card bridge. Looking at the Sopine it may be possible to design a bridge board to so so. I am interested if seeing if this is possible.

Hello.

I installed Windows 10 IoT Core on PINE 64.
The following problems occurred.
For writing the Win10 IoT Core image to the SD card,
I used WindowsIoTCoreImageHelper.

1) If you reboot after setup, the OS will not start up.
2) Even if you connect the ethernet directly to the ethernet port, can not connect to the network.
Even if you connect the USB ethernet adapter via the USB hub to the USB port,
OS can recognize the USB device but can not connect to the network.

Please tell me the cause and solution.
Thank you.

It is working pretty good so far. I am using the latest image from a few weeks ago. Got it from the wiki. The issue is there is no option to choose between HDMI sound and the headphone jack on the board. It would be nice to have that option. I'm not sure if that is part of the OS to begin with though.

I have it plugged in to a monitor through HDMI and the monitor has sound output. I don't want to rely on the output from the monitor I would like it going through the jack on the board.

Hello,

Anybody has any experiences on automotive grade linux on pine64? The structure of compiling the distribution looks quite complex. I will write down my experiences if I can make it run on pine64 2gb.

Thanks

I have Dokuwiki running on my Pine64 and it works great.  Performance is good, but I wonder if it could be better?  I have the OS and the Dokuwiki configuration on a microSD card and the Dokuwiki data files on an SSD attached via USB.

Does anyone have thoughts on whether or not I should try and located the Dokuwiki configuration files (/var/www/wiki) to the SSD?  At best, this might save me all of 1/2 second on page displays, so it's probably a fool's errand.

Bonus question: Would testing this be as simple as renaming /var/www/wiki to /var/www/wikiback and creating a symbolic link to the SSD files at /var/www/wiki?

Thanks,
John

Kudos to the Pine64 team.  I was a Kickstarter backer for the 2GB model, and it's been rock solid.  Well, other than the 2 times I decided to switch around power supplies, but that's my own brand of repetitive stupidity. 

Here's what I have running:
Samba NAS
MiniDLNA
Dokuwiki
Owncloud

It's never crashed.  I don't have spectacular uptime statistics because I've messed with the power supplies or done some electrical work on the house on a regular basis.  The biggest hassle I have had was with the initial upload of data into Owncloud, but that was traced to a buggy windows desktop client. 

My next goal is to stand up another owncloud instance on the board I just ordered and set up server-to-server sharing as an offsite backup.

Anyways, thanks for a great platform, and I'm looking forward to the future of Pine64.

Hello,

Is it possible to design usb 3.1 form hdmi output from usb 2.0 output of sopine module? The usb speed is okay with 2.0, I am only asking if it is possible to have hdmi output over usb.

Thanks

Hey guys

One of my goals with the Pine is to build a little emulator machine just for giggles. My ultimate performance goal would be a Dreamcast emulator, but I'll settle for Mario Kart 64 and be happy with it

So after I gave up on proper 3d acceleration in Linux (lack of drivers and upstream support I guess) I went ahead and installed Ayufan's 6.0 TV Android build, and it's close to perfect

Sound works, image works, my x360 controllers work, Plex works a treat, but performance in N64 games is iffy, borderline playable at best.

So my question is: what are the highest performing emulators for the pine? I'm most interested in N64 right now, but I'll take advice on any Nintendo or Sega platform (S/NES, GB*, Genesis, Saturn, DC, etc) and even the PS1, though that's the bottom of my priority list.

Right now I have retroarch 1.3.6 installed from the playstore. I configured the basics (directories, controllers, etc) and installed a bunch of cores from the online updater; it all mostly works, but the N64 shows very poor performance. I'm assuming I could've chosen better cores where there were alternatives, and that video settings can be fiddled with.

What are the best cores? What are the best video settings to maximise performance? Should I have gone for a nightly build? Which one?

Are there emulators other than retroarch with top-notch performance? I don't mind having to choose different apps.

Would Ayufan's 7.0 Android build be a better choice? I don't mind moving there either

Thanks for any and all advice
