Last post was in October. I haven't been around in a couple of months myself. Thought I'd poke my head in and see if anything new has developed, and it would appear not. Are people still gaming on their Pine or have they moved on to other things by now? I recall reading through a convoluted mess of linked threads/websites that some sort of retropie-ish interface was being worked on, but (of course) allwinner was being a b**** about releasing needed info to make things work. Or something. I dunno. Is there anyone around here even still?

LCD Support on Linux |

This thread/post is intended to pull together scattered discussions from the forum on LCD Support on Linux, and put the current information of the state of affairs of LCD support on the pine64 with regards to the Linux operating systems in one place. It is a living post, so may be subject to change by myself or other moderators as needed to correct any inaccuracies over time. Any support requests will be moved to a different thread as that is NOT the focus of this thread. If you have any suggestions as to more information or related forum threads, please leave a reply!
Out of the box, the pine64 has always supported both the HDMI and LCD outputs via the Android images - but not at the same time. More recently in that area, the need for two different images has been removed, and a simply change to the uEnv.txt file was needed.
This was not the case with linux... until recently, there was no LCD support at all. It was certainly possible, as it had been done before with other boards using the Allwinner Display Engine, but was not enabled on the pine64 until recently. There are currently no "official" images that support the LCD and/or touchscreen out of the box. However, it was pointed out in Nov 2016 that support was present in the official Armbian repo, so there is in fact a ready to use image that is available for download or for you to build yourself. Check out the latest Armbian Beta image (I won't direct link as it is rebuilt daily, but you want the Pine64_Ubuntu_xenial build), and also look at the pine64 specific documentation on their site in order to try it out for yourself!
To enable the LCD panel under Armbian navigate to /boot, open the armbianEnv.txt file with a text editor and
change the pine64_lcd=off value to on. You will also need to add gt9xxf_ts to /ect/modules if you wish to enable the touch screen support.
For more information please see (the last three points of) the pine64 specific Armbian documentation.
* Instructions for installing the touch screen driver in Debian (and possibly other images)
Other threads/subforums:
Notes:- Posts talking about adding LCD support to linux images (made a list - will create redirects once this thread is open ~ Luke)
- An OpenSuse LCD image is now available (just video/ no touch)
One way to increase/decrease brightness using GPIO:
Code: echo 362 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio362/direction
while true; do
case "`xscreensaver-command -time | egrep -o ' blanked|non-blanked|locked'`" in
" blanked") echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio362/value ;;
"non-blanked") echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio362/value ;;
esac
sleep 5
done
Changelog:- 2017-03-19 - Added link to "[EXPERIMENTAL] Linux on the LCD screen" thread

Dear all,
I am not that computer savvy and not at all a Linux expert. I installed openSuSE on my Pine64 hoping there was going to be a GUI but suddenly I am faced with a prompt line after login. Is there a GUI? How do I access it?
Thanks!

Is there something I can do to debug why the HDMI monitor gets no signal from my Pine64? Initially, I tried an old 4:3 monitor and found info that 4:3 monitors aren't supported. However, even using my newest 1080p monitor, I get nothing. Are there settings or error logs I can check via SSH that could give me a clue what is going on? Ideally, is there a way to use the older 4:3 monitor?
Technical details: - Debian Mate (3.10.102 BSP 2)
- Pine64- 2GB from Kickstarter
- I am using a HDMI - DVI adapter on the monitor-side of the cable. I've actually tried 2 different ones, neither make video work. None of my monitors have HDMI inputs. I can test it on my TV, if anyone thinks it is worth trying.
- I'm not a Linux guru, but have used it occasionally for the last 20 years. I won't take any offense if you talk to me like a Linux newb.
Luckily for me, I'm setting up my Pine64 as an OctoPrint server, and thanks to this great thread, I was easily able to use SSH to get things set up to work as I needed. However, I'd still love to get the video working if I can.

| Developing an Android App For a Bluetooth Device |

I have found a bluetooth device that I would like to try and develop an app for.
This would be a new adventure for me.
There is already a phone app for the device but it does not meet my needs.
Other than having the data from the manufacturer, how would you go about developing an app that will communicate to the device?
Is there an app that would monitor the data traffic between the devices?
I have emailed the device manufacturer in hopes they will share the information, so an app can be developed for their device.
Device in question:

For those eager Pine 64 enthusiasts, here's my experience.
Order placed 11/6/2016.
Email confirmation saying order shipped 11/11/1026.
No updates on the tracking online. The latest tracking notice was that China EMS was going to ship (nothing about actually shipping the package).
Today, 12/2/2016, I received Pine 64 in the mail.
Then checking the tracking information again just now, it seems to have updated (just today, cus i checked yesterday and it was't the same):
