Hi everyone,
I want to start using my 2gb pine64 as a home server + 4k HTPC.
From what I can tell, it seems like there has been some great progress with the Mali driver but it's not quite ready yet. So I wonder if there's a way to use 32bit linux (not Android though) with supported Mali drivers? Has anyone tried that?
Once all issues with Mali are resolved I will install a 64bit OS.
Thanks!

Hi @tllim 

Can you post the OTA links once they are available or at least update the news part of the forum. At the moment I am getting "unknown error" when checking for the OTA so I assume its either being readied or the server is under load.

cheers

I am not able to play movie files via my network on Kodi (android OS)
Kodi is buffering and the file stops playing. No fluent playback at all..
Is this also related to the pine64 network issues?

Here is a good step-by-step docker setup on diversit.eu posted by Joost den Boer, looking forward on his next blog.

I believe the enable line of the LPW5210B5F  in the USB +5 supply should have been wired back to VBUSEN on the AXP803. The way it is wired now, if you hit the power off button it leaves the +5V on when on battery supply. This will drain the battery while the unit is off. If enable had been wired to VBUSEN the AXP803 would have been able to shut off the +5V supply when powering off.  This should be a programmable choice since when on AC power you want to leave the USB +5V on so that a mouse/keyboard can be used to wake the device up.

Hi,
I've been on summer holidays and meanwhile i received my Huion Digital drawing tablet.
On Ubuntu 16.04 it is detected and ready to run in no more than 2-3 minutes.
I tried to install given DEB package from Digimend on Pine64 ( Digimend GitHub ) and also to make manual install from source with SU rights. For this procedure it is needed kernel version 6 and upper as I could understand from their description how to install drivers
In both ways drivers looks like are installed properly (no error reported) but device is still not detected.

When I try to list if device it gives only ID with numbers of it:

Here is list of lsusb -v and what I get for this device:

Looks like something I am missing so if anyone can help making proper installation , good.

My plans is to complete circle and to make Pine64 drawing machine for my daughter using GIMP and TuxPaint as basic drawing programs and Huion tablet for drawing device.

Waiting for your help.
Regards,

Will this Lcd work on Pine64 2GB board ,since the store seems unable to get more in stock ?

Does anyone have a working sys_config.fex? None of the ones in the downloads seems to be for the Pine64. Most are for the Allwinner dev boards. The closest one I have will come up to an Android command prompt but I can't get HDMI going.

I am trying to put together a working Android build and then I will push it up to www.gitlabs.com (not github, gitlabs accepts large repos).

Once we get a working build into git it will be possible for people to start fixing things. But without being able to rebuild the OS nobody can make any fixes.

I finally got to experience my Pine64+ yesterday with Android built in. Evrything works fine until I just can't download any apps in Google Play Store. Can somebody help me? Is it a bug or is it me just unplugging the usb cord whenever I've done using without properly turn it off?
