Would Tiny Core work on the Pine?   
http://tinycorelinux.net/downloads.html

What's the support backlog.  I sent an email Saturday and still haven't heard anything?

I found out one of my boards won't work with the LCD, but the other does (and yes, they are the same model and yes I did double/triple check connections).

How do I access the file systems on the A64? It's not like a phone you plug into the computer. I have an app called BOINC installed and I need access to modify some files.

Hello, I've got a question about the 8000mAh battery

I'm looking to do uninterruptible system, so if you've got the 3.7V battery, could you please boot your pine, with both battery and usb power, and then disconnect USB power, and see if it crash or something?

Cause I've connected an usb battery bank, but when I disconnect the source usb power, the pine crash

Thank you for your answer

Pls Help me ?

Hi everyone.

Just got my Pine64+ 2GB and am amazed! I installed zoneminder and the temperature felt hot. At least to me.

I was thinking of installing a heatsink without having to do some major remodelling of the case and all. Usually, I am a pretty "recycle and DIY" type of guy so I had a bunch of motherboard heatsinks laying around:


Here is a little info on the system standard load.


Here is my system's temperature under standard load:


And here it is after my poor man's heatsink setup:


If anyone wants to do as I did, here are a few pictures:





I now imagine someone will ask about system temperature under full load... Here it is:


Putting an old processor fan nearby gives me another 3 to 4°C drop.

Interesting for a poor man's setup.

Your opinion?

Regards.

Hello all, first time noob posting...

I've just got the Pine64+ 2GB model, installed the latest Debian XFCE image and did all of the updates suggested. I've successfully installed XMAME following this tutorial and now I'm trying to configure a gamepad to work with it. I've tried 2 separate USB devices, one is a PS2/PS3 compliant device and the other one is a DragonRise gamepad, but unfortunately both of them didn't work.

Here's the log from dmesg when I connect a gamepad:

Hi everyone.

Just got my Pine64+ 2GB! Wow! what a piece on hardware for the price. I setup zoneminder on it already. WOW! Just WOW!

I would like a little help from the community on monitoring my Pine64+'s temperature.

I've built a Poor Man's Heatsink Setupand wish to push this a little further with psensor.

I know about "watch -n 1 cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp" and it gives me proper temperature. But I fail to setup psensor to monitor from the GUI without the need of an opened terminal.

And psensor is only giving me 30 deg C for a virtual-battery that I don't really have.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Regards.

How do I set the video output to 4K / UltraHD on Ubuntu?

   

In the pic above we are looking at an alternate method of powering the PineA64 with DC-IN on the Euler Bus; +5v on pin(4), and ground ( - ) on pin(6).  

In this pic above white is common (ground) and black is 5v ( + ) the 'hot' wire.  Electrically, pin(2) and pin(4) on the Euler bus are connected to DC-IN on the micro usb power jack (see schematic pp6 of (19));  if a person is careful, either method may be used to provide 5v power to the PineA64 board.  WARNING:  do not do this if you are not sure of your skills, nor if you are unsure of the theory. Check with someone skilled before proceeding.

There are a couple of reasons why you might want to connect DC-IN with this alternate method:  1) you may want to provide your Play Box with a 5v barrel connector for charging,  2) your power supply is only rated at 2.0A (5v) and you want to shorten the supply line and bypass the weaker micro usb connector,  3) you want to make a more solid power connection perhaps with a [ toroid | cap ]  low pass filter for use in an auto  or with other dc-dc converter. 

   

Normally I do not recommend this method; because it has the potential for making mistakes;  only connect 5v on DC-IN, never reverse the polarity of the wiring (always check, never guess);  that said, this method does provide an alternative for routing DC-IN for those who have the skills and know what they are doing. 

WARNING:  If you're looking at the schematic(s) pp12 of (19) the 5v on pin(8) is NOT a DC-IN pin;  pin(8) is a 5v output pin only.  The only DC-IN pins are pin(2) and pin(4).  Any ground pin may be used for ground; however, pin(6) is convenient for the purpose.
