Hi all,

i just got my pine64 and am using xenial 64 bit image .
xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20160716-1.img.xz

i am new to unix in general.


Then , i downloaded the 64bit  anaconda.
http://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anacond...-x86_64.sh

then i ran bash Anaconda3-4.1.1-Linux-x86_64.sh
I kept getting an error that it doesnt think my system is a 64 bit version and it cant execute my executable due to unname -a checks..
Could someone advise on how i can get Anaconda3 on pine64 ?

Pine64+ and Pine64+2GB have a Gigabit NIC. To actually test the speed of the network interface a few things need to be considered. If you want to test the NIC performance of your Pine64, this thread is for you.

To do any meaningful testing, you need another device which is well known and capable to deliver over 900MBit/s with the cable and switch it is connected to. Also make sure that the network cable you use for the Pine64 is working with Gigabit Network (8 wires twisted pair, Cat5e or Cat6).

It is important to understand that you should test network speed only. If you copy a file to the Pine or something you are testing something completely different.

Furthermore it is important to know the settings of the whole stack involved and always use same / good settings. I added a platform-script at https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6...network.sh to help with that. Make sure to run this or similar before any testing.

- Make sure you use the latest Kernel. `uname -a`

Hi I have recently received my package containing the pine a64 mother board, with lcd display, package is missing the shutdown button, and also the abs case at the Moment.Anyway I received also the 7" LCD Display, I have connected the cables as it was documented in this Forum guide. I did not do any OS upgrade yet, but when I start the os boot up, Display does not light up. I tried to move the ribbon cables attached on the dsi port, and if moved, starts flashing like it was going to start, but then nothing.
I think that the Motherboard or the ribbon cable is defected. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I have been playing around with the pine for a week now.  Under android it is only showing 2 cores.  I have other apps showing the same.  Is there a way to unlock them? I'm new to these boards and I know there is much development to do.  But can anyone give me solution to this.

The BSP Linux Kernel does automatically generate a locally administered MAC address for the Ethernet (eth0) interface.

Some networks might not be able to handle those correctly. The recommended solution is to manually set the MAC address to the one which is printed on the back of the Pine64 by adding it to /boot/uEnv.txt with a line like ethaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.

The MAC address is the lower number on the barcode label on the back of your Pine board. Start from the left and add a colon every two chars. So far they all seem to start with 00:06:dc making this the vendor prefix.

Hi, I hope someone can help me out.

I am trying to get a Prolific 2303 usb to serial adapter to work with the latest debian Base release (pine64-image-debianbase-310102bsp-2). The adapter works on a RPI but on the Pine you can see the plugged in adapter but it does not get linked to a tty-usb port. Other usb to serial adapters of a different make do get attached to a tty-usb port.

Is the driver included in the build?

Regards,
Jelle

Trying to get Guitarix to run on the Pine64 and it needs me to set up and configure jackd.  I've never had good luck with that.  Anyone here manage to get it configured / working?

I figure if I can get it to work, I can salvage an old amp into a pretty spiffy Pine64 powered multi-effects practice amp.

Create a minimal Ubuntu rootfs from Longsleep's Ubuntu image using pine64-debootstrap. This is if you want to create a minimal server image (the way you want to roll it) with wifi instructions. Just a couple easy scripts and some interactive prompts to answer and you will have a rootfs archive ready to write to SD.

Hello!

I have installed the Ubuntu release a long time ago on my Pine, and everything worked fine. Main use was with an DVB-C stick and tvheadend as a Videoecorder.

I updated the Ubuntu software regularly and the system worked fine.

With the last updated Ubuntu told me to reboot the system, and from that moment on, startup did not complete.

I get an error "[VFE_ERR]Error registering ve412 subdevice No such device!" and "[VFE_ERR]vfe_register check error at input_num = 0 " (and later 1).

My Pine is connected via eth0 - and as I said before this configuration worked for a very long time..."

Help plz!

Thanks!

Is possible to use two wires as Power and Reset Bottons? If so, in which holes I have to solder them? The more distant or closest?
