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?

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.

Different Hardware Versions ? |

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+ |

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
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
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:
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.
