I got the LCD working on XFCE Debian running on the 3.10.102-3-pine64-longsleep kernel running on a 2GB Pine64+.

I have a list of instructions on github.com along with the device tree blob and script that worked for me.

I have only tested this on my own pine64+ playbox.

I am looking for help with testing and improving the instructions.

I did want to use my Pine64 as a Music Player Daemon linked to my sound system with the jack thing. It took me some time and I made this thread to help those who want to do quite the same thing. I hope my English will be undersandable.

To work with the jack and audiocodec the longsleep's posts helped a lot :

• http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?t...20#pid7420 >> setting the correct kernel modules
  
• http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?t...91#pid7591 >> setting up alsa to produce a sound (alleluia !)
  

So I finally got my first PINE 2GB setup with Home Assistant doing all the cool stuff I wanted it for, and am really happy with it.  I'm now in need of a small form factor system that can run Linux (distro unimportant) with a 4K resolution on the desktop (DE also unimportant).  

It will be used as a camera viewing station, either pulling directly from my Unifi Video webpage showing 4-6 camera feeds, or I will use some software to pull 4-6 RTSP feeds.  Either way, I want a 4K resolution to use with a 27" 4K monitor.

Would total be interested in buying another PINE if it could handle this.  My preference would be running DietPi (Debian 8 based) with OpenBox, but could run LXDE or XFCE.  Would use Chrome/Chromium as the browser if I went with viewing from the UniFi Video webUI, and undecided on the RTSP software I'd use.

Thoughts?

Hello, Looking forward to receiving the Pine 64 board! I  ordered on 9/16/16 and I received my tracking information on 9/22. The 23rd is the last new info I have on it. Seems like it's still stuck in China preparing shipment. Any update on this able to be provided such as current eta or a change in the tracking info that I can receive and follow until I receive my Pine64 board?

Came across this log today and thought I would post it on the list. This is not complete but shows some of the output being generated by Cedar and Mali. Like others I look forward a full support for the graphics drivers - but some progress evident.

Ubuntu 3.10.101-4-pine64-longsleep

Hi,

I got an AC power socket with a fuse holder and was wondering which value I could use for the fuse...

According to the wiki page the power consumption is 2.5W and the pine should work at less than 1A @ 5V (http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?t...0#pid12060).
Using I=P/V we get something like 10/25mA for 220/100V. Would a 100mA fuse be reasonable?

Or, if someone is having a fuse in the AC power line, which value is it?

Thanks.

For several weeks I could not post here..., I registered with email of gmx.com and the email vertification never gets sent, so I had to register again and use gmail.com.

Shouldn't this be corrected?

is there a way to delete my old account completely?

I have been disappointed with using Remix about 2 months ago and have not touched the board.

Having given up on basic general web use, I am considering using the board mainly for Kodi install.

1.  do I need to install linux, remix, android first?
2.  would like recommendation on which distro and how to get the most functionally useful kodi install from actual user.

thanks in advance.

So I have a 2GB Pine.  

I downloaded the Ubuntu file
xubuntu-xenial-mate-20160528-longsleep-pine64-8GB.img

I use the Etcher program to transfer the file to a 128GB class 10 micro SD card and it appears to install but when it goes to validate it hangs at 99% and never finishes.  If I look at the card through windows it appears to have written a number of files to the card.  

I tried putting the card in to the Pine and boot it up (using a USB mouse and keyboard plugged in, and using the AC adapter that came with the Pine) ... and plugged in to a 24" monitor with a HDMI cable.  

I get absolutely nothing on the screen, no BIOS of any sort, no indication it is trying to boot from the SD card.  Nothing.

Suggestions?

Hi, 

I'm using the pine64_openhab_20160915_8GB.img image with the zwave module and adapter for the PI2 GPIO header but it seems as if the zwave module is not detected. The module should turn up as /dev/ttyS2 but from syslog all I get is:

Sep 24 07:57:58 openhab kernel: [    8.285353] uart2: ttyS2 at MMIO 0x1c28800 (irq = 34) is a SUNXI

And then in openhab.log:
