I would love to see a touchscreen version or tablet to run a  chartplottter and digital dashboard on.  There is one good chartplotter app for Android, just need an economical and reliable platform.

Now we got hw accelerated h.264 & h.265 decoding and h.246 ecoding on pine64, but leaks jpeg decoding and encoding.
Jens Kuske wrote a jpeg-test program(https://github.com/jemk/cedrus), I modify it to employ the cedrus library just like libvdpau-sunxi does.
When I run it, the decoding finished, but I got nothing. I upload the source of my modified jpeg-test program in attachment, you can read, build and run it.
Are there anyone decoding jpeg file by a64 vpu successful?

Hi guys,
    
This is my very first post. Last Saturday I changed my rpi2 for a pine64 just to do the same functions that rpi2 did. I migrated my webpages, network drivers and two printers. I copied smb.conf and cupds.conf to pine64 (both with boards have debian installed) but it didn't work. After removing and reinstalling cups several times just to see if all worked, pine64 had an error during boot (sorry, I don't remember the exact error), so I let for a few days.
    
Yesterday, I tried with ubuntu 16.04 loongsleep but I had the same results. I can print from local, but I can't print from any remote machine and the config is the same I had in rpi2.
    
Could anyone give me some clue? I'll update later this post with cupsd.conf and smb.conf.
    
Thanks in advance.

Edit:

I've added this to cupds.conf:

security = user

So now it's working! Thanks for your support

Hi - Pine sell a touchscreen that can be mounted onto various custom enclosures, but do they, or someone else sell tablet back covers compatible with the screen that Pine sell? I was a bit surprised to find the screen being sold directly from Pine, but not an accompanying back cover.

Basically, I wish to replace my old Nexus 7 2012 with a tablet powered by the Pine chipset - i.e. a slim line 7-8inch tablet. If anyone could direct me to how I might achieve this that would be very helpful. Thanks!

This seems interesting... I bet someone in here will find this useful (needs porting for the Pine)

Could someone please confirm that all models of the Pine A64 support Windows IOT? It would be nice if this could also always be published somewhere on the website.

Also is Windows IOT remotely usable with only 512MB? I don't need much but as long as it can run one full screen app and also a little serial communication it would be a very useful device. (even if the graphics still runs as slow as the Pi 2 B, that would be sufficient)

Many thanks!

I will be building a custom enclosure and battery for my Pine. I'd like to use the battery temperature pin. Is there a schematic of what it expects? (I'm sure it must be thermistor based, but what thermistor and wired how?) I'm guessing the expected output of that pin is hardwired into the board, or can it be configured via software?

Hi, i try to run a Java program that runs everywhere ok, but on the pine i get the Errormessage that the Java FX is missing. How can i get and install it?????  
apt-get dos not work.

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?
