Installing it I get when I try to run to check for version: sudo phantomjs --v

Question Different Hardware Versions ?
Posted by: bongo - 12-11-2016, 07:17 AM - Forum: Pine A64 Hardware, Accessories and POT - Replies (3)

i own 2 pine64 units. both are 2GB versions, rev B.

as they sometimes behave different (e.g. running one unit with the flash image of the other unit does not work), i tried to find out what's different.

the version noted on the pcb is the same. the only difference i can find is the QL code, which is 16.16 on one unit and 16.26 on the other one.
what does this code mean and where can i find the difference?

thanx!


  Mini-Tutorial to get a linux Desktop GUI working on Pine64+
Posted by: speedro86 - 12-09-2016, 06:28 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (15)

Hey everyone, I decided to make this small mini tutorial for newbs with little if no experience with linux, embedded computers, or raspberry pi, though the more experience you the better.

I am fairly new to linux, and the pine64, I have some experience with rpi mostly with noobs/raspbian, and building a wifibroadcast setup from supplied images. I also have a fair amount of experience with Arduino, and flight controllers for multirotors. I know that most should be able to get this working without problems

I have tried almost every image available in this forum, and the wiki; Android, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Armbian, and simple linux CLI, but no matter which i used I could never get any of them to get all my peripherals(i needed) to work together, if HDMI worked(most always did, aswell as keyboard) but ethernet would never work despite configuring to the t each time. Well last night, I am glad to say that I finally got a build that had my internet working through ethernet, and I ultimately was able to install a Desktop GUI that is working very well! So I am going to detail what I did for you all so that you too can get use from your pine64 if you havent been able to.

The image you want to download is the most recent openSUSE from Terra854, which uses a kernal from Lonsleep his linux Kernel updated to 3.10.104-1-pine64-longsleep-103. The link for the dl is http://pine64suse.weebly.com/download.html I used the HDMI image as thats what im using, but download which one suits your needs. Once finished extract the img, then use Etcher or WinDiskImager to burn it to your sdcard, I recommend at least a 16gb Class 10. Once you've got your sdcard ready, put it into your Pine64+(I wouldnt recommend using the 512mb version), plug in what things your going to use like HDMI, Keyboard, Ethernet, USB, etc, now your ready to power up.

Boot happens fairly quickly, and the login is directly after the verbose output from the boot process. The username is: pine64 and Password is: pine64linux, once logged in run 

Code:
sudo ifconfig

Which will spit out your network info, make sure your network is up by running
Code:
sudo ping www.pine64.org
This should give you a response from the website, also there will be a very easy to notice message stating that your network is UP.
Now you need to change to the root directory I ran
Code:
sudo -s
This will ask for the root password which is pine64root, you will know you're in root from the text color change to red indicating you're in the root level. From here run:
Code:
resize_rootfs.sh
This lets you use the full sd card capacity.

Now this is a linux distro, however there are minor differences in commands, and programs that install software compared to ubuntu, or debian. 
The Desktop GUI is called KDE, and the install program is called zypper, which was included in the image, so now you need to  install KDE by running this
Code:
zypper install -t pattern kde kde_plasma
This will take a while, like a couple hours, I let it run over night. Once it has finished, reboot your pine64, and on the next boot, yu will now have a GUI desktop!!!!!! If you run into problems during the first install, as I did try to reboot. If you do not get any type of monitor output, then power off your pine, remove the sdcard, and put it into your card reader on a windows machine, you will be able to fix the disk without removing anything. Now you are ready to try again, this time the install should work fine.
There you go a smooth running Desktop on your Pine64+!!!!!
Any questions, please ask as I will try my best to help.


  Is it a Pine64 that is inside the RetroEngine Sigma?
Posted by: 8BiTw0LF - 12-09-2016, 04:53 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (12)

Hello Smile

So many (or some) of you may have seen the indiegogo campaign about the RetroEngine Sigma

It seems to me it is a Pine A64 (512MB) board that is in the case? Could this mean that these guys have figured it all out, how to get the Mali 400 to work properly and got the licenses for it?

Here is a picture of the specs:

  Enclosure for flush-mounting the 7" touchscreen
Posted by: Learnincurve - 12-09-2016, 07:03 AM - Forum: Enclosures - Replies (9)

Hi.

I'm looking to replace my squeezebox touch with a high-powered R-Pi alternative, with a proper USB and ethernet implementation.

the Pine64 looks like a perfect contender at a very attractive price.  Better still, the 7" touchscreen lloks as if it should be flush-mountable in a nice looking case, much like the official R-Pi 7" case:
[img] https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0176/3...1477646087[/img]

Can anyone suggest a case that fits round the screen so that the edges are flush?

Stand and back-housing for the Pine64 board I can probably manage myself if the case doesn't fit/include them.

 The unit should stand, sloping slightly back, just like the image above.

BR.

  How do I use UART serial port on the Pi-2 bus?
Posted by: SvdSinner - 12-08-2016, 09:19 PM - Forum: Debian - Replies (3)

How do I reference the UART pins on the PI 2 header (pins 8 and 10) to start a serial session from the command line?  I'd like to use GNU Screen, if possible.  I'm guessing something like :
>$ screen /dev/ttySomethingOrAnother 115200

I'm a newb to the P64, and this is my first time trying to communicate with a peripheral.

Do I need to configure the pins to use their UART function?  If so, how?  

(If there are better Rx/Tx pins to connect to my device, I'm open to that.  I just picked those pins from an example on connecting UART to the RPi)

Feel free to point me to any docs on the subject.  (I'm still learning where to search for Pine64 info.)

  LINUX Distribution for the newbie
Posted by: _mgd - 12-08-2016, 10:06 AM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (5)

greetings,

I am a complete novice in computing_and for the longest time I detested the linux way of doing things by typing (no offence meant). Now I do want to learn both linux & the arm processors. I would like to start on an accessible distribution that will allow me to do my c programming & compilation, if I ever get even that far.

There is no reason to spend any time to answer this rudimentary question--I did try to find answers to no avail, if anybody could drop a hint I would be greateful.

Regards,
_mgd
