What can you tell us about the LED holes on the A64-DB-2G-Rev B board?

What are the power draw limits on the two pairs? Are they already set to indicate anything in particular (e.g. power, r/w)?

First of all, hello. My Pine64's (x3; 2GB wifi?BT models) arrived yesterday! and I can't seem to get HDMI output (initially I thought the devices were not booting so the info below reflects my booting attempts)

I have tested x2 Pine64's to no avail
          a) Pine 64 2GB, wifi/BT module not installed
          b) No other peripherals connected (ie. keyboard or wired network)
          c) Used generic (fully tested) 8GB microSD cards, as well as 16GB ADATA microSD cards
          d) Used supplied power supplies, as well as 2.1amp USB outlet based adapters (Targus & Philips; reputable quality that work perfectly with higher amperage requiring devices such as tablets and other SoC's).
          e) Tested on LG 49UB8200 and LG 65UB9300 (both are 4K units); Also tried Onkyo TX-NR636 to pass HDMI through to 65UB9300.
          f) Also tested on HDMI capture card (1080p resolution limit).
          g) Used PhoenixCard 3.1.0 for phoenix based images, and Rufus and imageUSB for DD images (images from http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pine_A6...re_Release and use of PhoenixCard and Rufus based upon http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=1146)
          h) each time allowed 5-10 minutes to elapse once plugged in - only red LED was on with no other feedback from Pine64 nor televisions/receiver
          i) good quality HDMI cables with no previous issues with 3D use.
          j) I handled the Pine64's appropriately
          k) files were MD5 checked
          l) used 2 different Win7Pro units for writing of images to microSD cards
          m) Tested the following images: android-rooted-ver5.1.1-20160505-pine64-8GB, remix-v2.0-20160415-pine64-16GB, Pinea64_android_lollipop_db1000_20160216, debian-mate-jessie-20160501-lenny.raposo-longsleep-pine64-8GB, remix-v2.0-20160415-pine64-8GB, pine64-image-debianmate-310101bsp

This is not my first endeavor, as I have multiple Raspberry Pi units as well other computers, servers, and an advanced network in use.
After all these attempts the devices have failed to output HDMI.

I cannot think of any further testing that I can perform. The only other monitors that I have access to do not have HDMI inputs and unfortunately HDMI to DVI adapters are known not to work with the Pine64.

Reading some of the threads, one person commented that there are a lot of HDMI issues.
I booted up the OpenHAB microSD (well couldn't really tell if it booted up or not as I had no HDMI output, but as in every case the red LED remained lit) and plugged in the ethernet cable about 5 minutes later and there was network activity (good sign).


I then loaded an android microSD card, and I checked my DHCP server on my router and there was an IP assignment to a new android device!!!!!!!!!!!

So how does one fix this HDMI problem (thinking that this is my most likely problem)?

Thank you.

Does anyone know if USB Audio works with the Android OS? I have a Logitech G930 headset I would like to connect to the Pine. My wireless keyboard and mouse worked as soon as they were plugged in, but the headset's not working. I've seen that people using Samsung Phones have gotten it to work using an OTG connectors. Is there some sort of audio input setting in the OS?

Hi guys, 

I'm trying to run Remix OS via an HDMI on my HDTV. For some reason, the picture ends up being too large and the corners end up running off the side of my TV. I can't find anywhere within the OS that lets you adjust the screen resolution or a way to adjust the screen size.

Has anyone else had this issue? 

Thanks, 
Sean

I was asked to post a picture showing my connections for the LCD touchscreen. Here you go.

Does anyone know if there are compatible USB NICs for the Pine64?
I'd like to turn mine into a firewall/router.

Hello,

as Android isn't working great on the Pine64 2GB at least for me I tried the Ubuntu image. To be honest I'm not impressed. I tried to check a Youtube Video on a TV and it's like watching a slide show, the sound is normal but there is no video, just pictures.

Any idea why video performance is that bad? I expected a better initial experience.

Thanks, 

Michael

Hi,

I got the Pine64 2GB version yesterday with the screen, it didn't boot into the screen with the provided image. So I hooked it up to a HDMI monitor and it booted, but the resolution of the apps is way off, somehow the apps don't scale at all, in the browser the address field takes up most space, Youtube vidoes seems to run in 240VGA and really slow, move like a slide show.

Any idea on how to fix the performance and the screen resolution problem? I tried it on a TV too and same, the resolution is awful and performance far from great. 

I use a few Raspberry PIs and so far the experience with them is better and performance for video display extremely better.

Thanks,
Michael

I ordered 4 X Pine64+ 2GB but only received 3.  Order number 8162158.  I have contacted sales and every other email that was available on the website with no response.  I even posted on the Facebook page still with no response.  I was planning to buy more but at this point I will probably look at a competitor.    
 
 

Hi guys,
I received yesterday a couple of pine64 boards.
the thing is that I connected a headset to the 3.5 mm and it did not work as expected :-)

1 with android image, the SO detect them as as regualar earphones. (without mic) I cant record anything.
2 with ubuntu image. the operating system only show the devices for the hdmi audio.

So can someone confirm how this work? I guess is something that was not 100% compatible on the software side. but I would like to have a confirmation.

Regards.
