Hi all,

just release an initial version of a yocto meta layer for pine64. Currently it was tested with my board which is a 1MB board. It currently just supports pine64 plus but it shouldn't be hard to have it working for Pine64 with 512MB.

You can find the meta layer and instructions here: https://github.com/mont3z/meta-pine64

Hi,

Apologies for asking a low level question, but I can't find any way to stop Android on the Pine 64 other than just killing the power.

All 'normal' android devices have a power button - and there seems to be no way to do a clean power off without one - the problem occurs in many android forums from users with phones/tablets with broken power buttons.

Is there any obvious way to do this without soldering a power button onto the board or finding some solution via rooting the installation?

Hi !!!

Amazon makes its new release gachet ECHO DOT improved and is now smaller and better price 50 $ ...

I know there are people who have done something similar for Raspberry Pi,

I wonder if anyone is doing well for Pine 64?

Thank's

Can one even order the playbox case anymore? I would like one; don't see it on the "shop" pages.

about the Pine64 can be found here.

Iam trying to setup a arduino CNC machine I have the IDE arduino
 installed and runnung and flashed the hex file and it is taking g-code
 commands one at a time but I need a g-code sender like
 universial g-code sender but its java base and wont run correct I start it in a terminal
and its start I guest no errors but there is no GUI so I dont know what to do?

Is it possible to do UART / system messages only thru a 5V 2A male to mini usb male cable? Can I do serial if I power the board thru the USB on the same USB cable. Thanks

Hi,

I'm a real newbie to embedded linux. I have some experience with C programming and a Freescale development board but lack direction on where to start regarding building my own system for my pine board.

I've read about u-boot, file systems, kernels, libc and gcc but can't find a practical explanation on what to do and with what tools to do it with. For example, how to tweak and compile longsleep's kernel and build tool to make my own image? Or how do I build my own kernel? What are the actual steps and actions to take? Which files do I need? How do I manipulate them? Where does the work take place? What software is used? And other questions of this sort.

I'd like to build my own system to utilize GPIO pins, SPI, I2C and other modules on the board.

Can anyone offer some advice or point me to the right reference or eBook?

ANY help at all would be great.
Thanks

Hi everyone,

I was trying to get my WiFi/Bluetooth module up and running, but to no avail. I'm using Debian Linux Jessie w/ MATE GUI [20160701] + Longsleep kernel. WiFi works just fine, but when I try to access the available bluetooth adapters with blueman, it tells me that there are no adapters available.

From what I have read around the forums, it seems that bluetooth should have been fixed in the current Debian distro + kernel. Any thoughts?

Good day.
