Installed android on Pine64-2G, went fine but my wifi does not work on Android!!  ( Edimax N150, EW-7811Un USB dongel) 

If I install ubuntu version (in pine64wiki)  will the kodi be functional?, anyone know?

thanks,

Hi all,

Firt time trying to fire up this system. I have the 2Gb version with LCD and BT module.

A64-DB-2G-RevB 2016-03-21.

Installed into the play box ok.
Connected DSI and TP cables (checked, then checked them again by unplugging and re-plugging)
Inserted Pine supplied 64Gb uSD with Android.
Power by the Pine supplied 2A brick.
Power jumper in DC5V position.
RTC not connected.
BT module not connected.
USB nothing connected.
Network cable not connected.
Powered on, nothing happens except the red light, nothing on Pine screen.
Removed Pine64 from enclosure and connected to full HD panel via HDMI, same results, nothing at all.
Replaced back into play box, connected only TP and DSI then power, same, nothing displayed.

Thoughts anyone?

Many thanks
Andy

Anyone have trouble getting passed the password? I have used windisk imager to burn Debian jessie mate for the 512mb board, and it boots up ok. But it won't accept the password "debian"

Ok, now that I have booted Android 7, it's going pretty slow. The MicroSD card I'm using is Kingston Class 10, UHS-I 16GB (https://www.kingston.com/en/flash/microsd_cards/sdca10). Seems pretty ok speed, but I'm not sure what is expected.

Apps are opening grudgingly slow, sometimes they fail to open whatsoever.

Any suggestions how to get decent performance?

I am using Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) and I'd like to run Android on my Pine64 2GB board.

I have 16GB SD card, and I can't seem to make any of the images boot, so I come here out of despair.

The image I've currently downloaded from this page is android-ver5.1.1-20160711-pine64-16GB.img, zip file MD5 hash FAA48E4261451C1F54094AB6C253E76C.

Here's the command I used to burn the image:
$ dd if=/path/to/android-ver5.1.1-20160711-pine64-16GB.img bs=32M | pv -s 16G | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=32M

The process, however, finished when the progress bar was at 93%, but no error were thrown:
16004415488 bytes (16 GB) copied, 1283,6 s, 12,5 MB/s

The file size is 16088301568, so obviously there's something wrong.


I attempted also to burn the image using Gnome Disks utility, but it complains that the image is 83 MB bigger than the target device.
The Disks utility says my SD card size is "16 GB (16 005 464 064 bytes)", so apparently 16088301568-16005464064=82837504 is a problem. But why would there be a slightly-too-big image file for download? Its confusing.

I think I am too puzzled to move on now. Any suggestions how to get a proper image file and/or how to burn the current one?

Hi,

I would like to ZJ080NA-08A with pine64, I havent ordered yet but I am planning to order one this week or next week according to your feedbacks. The lcd have same resolution and same aspect ratio as default pine64 lcd. Do you think can I drive it with pine64? What about the capacitive touch screen on it? I couldnt find any specs about ctp.

Thanks.

Posted in project suggestion as well.... 

Forgive my ignorance, but I have little experience with hardware "hacking" and had a few questions that endless searches through the forums could not answer... 

1) What exactly can I do with the buses on the Pine64/how do I actually go about using them? 

2) Would I be able to directly wire an Xbox 360 controller to one of these buses, thereby freeing up a USB port and/or the bluetooth connection?

3) How much programming/how possible would it be to modify Android to allow for controller interaction with the Android UI? For example, use the D-Pad to select apps on Android's home screen?

Again, pardon my ignorance, I am only taking the first baby steps in this field and would love any and all direction from you guys!

Thank you!

Hi,

I would like to use a linbus tranceiver to boot up my pine64. When the IC senses traffic it wakes up and provides current for 20ms. When the board powered it has to set CSL/WAKE pin to high to have continues power. So how can I set a pin to high status when the board powered?

I dont want to use arduino or other microcontroller, it makes my board even more complex.

Thanks.

Hi all,

There is no touchscreen usage on W10

Any idea
