Hello Everyone,

Some of you have reported problems with various image download links not working and/or slow transfer speeds. These problems are usually only temporary, but just as a precaution ItsDave (give him a +rep) has agreed to host an updated selection of the most popular just about all available images on his server. This is not meant as a substitute for the existing servers hosting available images but rather as a back up. Oh, and its blazing fast. 

[edit] 
Updated with new android images:
*Android 5/6/7 and 6TV/7TV 
*Volumio
*OpenSuse
*DietPi
*Gentoo


[edit 2] 
The alternative mirror now also hosts all SoPine available at the time of writing:  
*Android 5.1
*Ubuntu 16.04
*OpenSUSE

Alternate Mirror

Enjoy!

I want to try to use a RFID reader that is i2c controlled, Is there any example code on using the i2c on the Pine64?
How close is it to the Pi i.e. can I reference tutorials and examples from the Pi?

Is someone able to run pine64 with aoeon labs usb z-stick ?

Help, me please!

I was able to play with my Pine64+ today. I was using debian, I've installed some Debian packages (nothing out of ordinary), rebooted few time, and after one of the reebots, linux kernel stops at:

I tried 3 diffrent PSUs, but no luck

How can I fix it?

Did anyone managed to make phantomjs work on pine64?
Installing it I get when I try to run to check for version: sudo phantomjs --v

QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display
PhantomJS has crashed. Please read the bug reporting guide at
<http://phantomjs.org/bug-reporting.html> and file a bug report.

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!

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 

Hello

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:

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:

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.
