Hello, I'm trying to create a media application using Windows IoT, and I started with a Raspberry Pi, but unfortunately it doesn't support any hardware acceleration, so video display was unbearably slow. Does the Windows IoT image for the Pine64 support any hardware acceleration? I was looking into the documentation for the Mali400MP2, and it looks like it would be just as difficult to get DirectX working on this chipset as it would on the RPi, but perhaps AllWinner worked more with Microsoft to get things working. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Hi ..last time i tried to post this idea i got banned due to a misunderstanding.
I had thought it would be cool for so.someone to deaign a pc expansion plate that attaches to a pine64.
It already has 4 holes in each corner.. Screw an aluminum plate to those and use your old pc case as a place to stack em. The pc power supply can act as a power for all pine64.
I am sure a simple design exposing the ethernet side would be sufficient. Send your design to a company to punch out the plate and sell em?
Anyway.. I hope that description came through clear enough.
I posted a picture of expansion cards with detachable plates but i think that got me banned last time.
Just do a google image search for expansion cards anf youll find what i am talking about.
What a good reason to resurrect and old case for a new purpose!
Hello. I used the Pine64 (2GB) with android on the 64 GB SD card provided last year with Pine's provided LCD panel without trouble. Then I didn't boot it for months, waiting for a project to develop.
I tried yesterday to boot it, but without success. The red led lights up for a pair a second, then switch off. I noticed that without SD the led stays on.
I decided to re-flash Android 6.0.1 on my Mac (using either dd on terminal, or Etcher) with three 16GB and 64GB cards. But nothing happens. The led lights up for a pair of seconds and then switch of, with no boot, nor display on the LCD. Any idea of what is going on?
Let me introduce myself. I'm Jimmy, 19 y.o. web developer from Argentina.
I'm totally new in the SBC world, and I need to know if my idea is doable before buy the components.
I want to use the A64+ 2GB starter kit as main logic board for connect an USB hard drive in order to install in there Debian OS + GitLab (CE).
Then access to the internet-connected* P64 from my computer (through WiFi) and access to GitLab (via command-line interface).
Is PINE64 useful for something like this? May I require other type of hardware?
Thanks for reading.

* My idea is as simple as connect P64 to the LAN cable into my router.
