I have been having a heck of a time trying to get 2 Pine64s to work on the same LAN. 

Router - Verizon ActionTec - I know, I know.  It sucks.

Pine64 1
Hostname: Pine64Server2
Static IP: 192.168.1.100
OS: Ubuntu headless

This works fine.  When I first plug it in after flashing the OS, it comes up as just an address (like 192.168.1.8) or I think it used to come up as "Pine64." I change the hostname (and hosts) and set the static IP and it works great. 

Here's where things get wonky.  When I try to add a second Pine64, flashed with the same OS, two things happen (or don't happen):
Pine 64 2
Hostname: Pine64 (default)
IP: DHCP
OS: Ubuntu headless

When I look on the router, suddenly my original Pine64 at 192.168.1.100 is named "Pine64" and I can't see the new Pine64 listed on the router and I can't Putty into it.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

How is the battery Supposed to be mounted in the PlayBox enclosure?

I figured out the rest, but the battery seems to be a mystery. It doesn't fit under the extra panel that mounts on the side of the case opposite the card. Is supposed to be slid under and held in place by the board itself? Double sided taped to that panel?

Any suggestions?

with an extension cable  and a simple goggle mount for the lcd
a sensor set (gyro-meter, 3 axis accelerometer, etc etc).

then produce a stereoscopic view. and you have a VR system which costs 1/8th of the next least expensive option

you could 3d print the goggles but they probably wouldnt be super comfy ... should have counterweights opposite the screen to keep it from wanting to tilt forward 

anyway to make a goggle harness that holds the lcd screen + an extension 40pin cable) should cost very little, infact you could mount the pine64 and battery behind the head, for a single helmet unit, putting 2 batteries in series would allow 1 to be hot swap-able.

Yeah If I put a module of SOPINE in a standard motherboard, would it work as a processor/RAM? I'd like to put 8 of them in a server motherboard

when i try and adjust any of the partition sizes gparted has a cow because there is 1 partition that spans across 4 or 5 in all of the android releases.

is there a partition editor which can deal with this and not have a fit about it?

<edit>

seems like this problem gets solved by flashing with etcher instead of DD (even on DD images). i dont understand why, the images worked in the pine 64 but had overlapping partitions when burnt with DD

I originally ordered a Banana Pi and received a DOA. I then purchased the Pine64. only took 2 days to door, gave me enough to re-burn my micro SD so I would be ready. Literally 3 min's to hook up and boot to ubuntu. Blue tooth broken and kodi was unuseable, so I downloaded RemixOS and love it. works great 10X better. Is for an SunBrite outdoor TV on our Lanai.

Hello everyone!!

I have designed and built a enclosure model to house the 7 "LCD Touch screen and the Pine64 computer.
It is made of birch wood.


In principle you do not need to use glue to put the pieces together. Only 8 screws and nuts.

It has two lower and one upper lid For easy access


At the bottom of the enclosure , the LIPO battery can be housed.





It has the perfect angle to see the screen, in landscape or vertical mode ..
To read ebook, etc ...

It has small openings for ventilation.

We have made holes for you to screw, one mini fan of 25mm x10mm 5VDC very common

The pieces are not sanded or varnished.

So you can give your personalized touch.

We will try to make a video of the process of mounting, So that it is available for all those who need help.

So if you are interested, they are available in AMAZON
7" LCD Touch screen wooden frame and pine 64 case


I hope you like it...

Thanks to the Pine64 team for their support To carry out this new project.

Hi , I had LIRC running on raspberry pi, it is really usefull,  But I can't make it work with PINE a64 with debian,  have anybody can share of it? thanks

I am trying to modify the "hosts" file so my Pine64 can be identified on my network with something other than "localhost".  However, when I bring up the file properties, there is no Change button to allow me to change the permissions.  Ideas?

Am interested to hear from anyone that has checked into the Sopine and just how compatible it is with the Raspberry Pi Compute 3 module. I have a product lined up to use the Pi compute but the Sopine looks interesting.
