Hi all!

Pine64 is a very cost effective solution for running the UniFi Controller. The installation process is a bit tricky though. Hence sharing my experience: https://ishwestscriptwault.wordpress.com...pine64-en/

Enjoy!

Check out the drop of the H5SDK Orange Pi posted.

Aren't these w1p1 files the A64 and the w2p1 stuff the H5?

It is truly idiotic that everyone outside of China has to rely on Allwinner to release the code to their Chinese OEMs and then those OEMs turn around and post it for everyone to see. Why can't they just put this stuff on a public server like everyone else does?

Greetings all,

My brother gave me a pine64+ 2GB model for Christmas and I believe it's DOA.

Let me first start off that my power supplies certainly meet the requirements of this board with 2amp, 2.5 amp, and yes, I borrowed a 4.0 amp from my ws2812 strings to try.  The voltages are tight to usb 5v specs.

I'm a long time user of Pi boards.  All of the aforementioned power supplies work fine with my Raspberry Pis and so do the sdcards I've tried with the Pine.

I'm also a long time user of linux and consider myself advanced in the OS.  I use "dd" to dump and read often for other systems.  Every image I've dumped for the pine is fine.  Some of the images I've tried  create a fat for /boot, others have /boot in rootfs.

I tried several images and never got a thing, until I decided to hook up the debug port to a ttl adapter and this is what I got:

It appears the RAM is bad and never attempts to access the card which explains why none of the imaging I've done ever worked.

I submitted a ticket to them (overdue), but at this point I don't think I'll get a response.  I sure hope they can do something. My brother, who doesn't have money waist and is disappointed as well.

This is my experienced thus far.

I installed node.js on ubuntu image using nvm. 
nvm is very cool and best way to install node.js.

I guess, something is missing in kernel provided by longsleep...

1. I downloaded longsleep image (xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20161218-1.img.xz) ! 
I burned image and booted too.


I do not have any monitor with me. I do not have any keyboard with me. (actually i do not want to use it.)
How, can i do it. I used different hardware, where device was connected to Laptop. When C.H.I.P. was connected to laptop, using usb cable, I do not need cable. I just need to use screen utility to login on any tty

I connected a monitor and keyboard to what is available.. after login, I tried, ifconfig. ifconfig do not show any wlan0. I have connected my wifi module to Pine64. so, ideally it should show wlan0 too. unable to find instruction on how to connect wifi.
the worst thing, I tried to connect with LAN cable.  router is very far from Work table. If I connect LAN cable, I cannot connect keyboard. So I thought , I can do ssh and let Pine64 to be connected on LAN cable without any keyboard.
When I connected with a LAN cable, It do not get any ip address. It should get ip address automatically, so that I can do a ssh. 
I am highly frustrated, I cannot get stated on this board.

I'm in possession of a Pine64 2GB board and I'm not using it for now and in stead I run Plex media server and torrent on "hi-spec" PC so it's always on 24/7.

Would it be able to run Plex media server, utorrent and Kodi on Pine64 all of that on smart 4K TV. I was thinking to setup Android 7.0 and simply install Plex Media Server, uTorrent and Kodi trough Play Store?

Hi,

tl;dr
Is there an official Android Release with "release-keys" ?


I'm trying to run a VOD service I have in my country,
the thing is they are very strict with demands
(Only smartphones/tablets allowed)

I know a few people who managed to run the App using their Android Boxes
using root > changing "test-keys" to "release-keys" then using "hide my root"
and finally changing the identity of the Box to Android smartphone (Nexus or Samsung for example)

so, I don't want to go through all of that if there is already an official "release-keys" android OS here,

Thanks for reading,
MCZ

Hi all,

I have a Pine64+ board.  The WiFi unit on the Pine is configured fine and it's able to detect and connect to my home WiFi router.

Now, I have a web server hosted on my Pine 64+ board.  I'm able to access this webpage (i.e. homepage hosted on Pine64+ board) using my tablet, all connected through the home WiFi router.  

Is it possible to configure the Pine 64+ WiFi module such that I should be able to connect to it directly from my tab instead of connecting from my home WiFi router?  In other words, the Pine64+ WiFi module should broadcast itself, so that my tablet is able to detect and connect to the WiFi module of the Pine64+ board.  (thereby removing the need of a WiFi router).

I have attached a png file (task.png), which I feel explains the above better.

Thanks,
Ravi.

Hi, I am visiting the 33rd Chaos Communications Congress (CCC) in Hamburg, Germany (27th-30th of December) and was wondering if anyone else is going to attend?

The CCC is one of Europe's largest hacker and IT security conferences.

"The 33rd Chaos Communication Congress (33C3) is an annual four-day conference on technology, society and utopia. The Congress offers lectures and workshops and various events on a multitude of topics including (but not limited to) information technology and generally a critical-creative attitude towards technology and the discussion about the effects of technological advances on society. "

( https://events.ccc.de/congress/2016/wiki/Main_Page )

I can be found at my project's assembly desk (https://events.ccc.de/congress/2016/wiki...ly:UAVP-NG) and be reached via the congress DECT/GSM network under 2830.

I will also bring some Pine64 hardware to show around, so if you want to meet and maybe have a beer or so just give me call...
