After getting the required python modules, I was able to get the steam controller working in Debian.  The driver is on GitHub..

https://github.com/ynsta/steamcontroller

No virtual keyboard as of yet but, otherwise, seems to work pretty well.

(since there appears to be an entire subforum for this, I'll skip the "have you searched the forums"-part) ;-)

So. I got my 2G version in one of the first batches, never got it to boot but have now returned for a second round. The problem is that all I get at boot is a red led

1. I have an fast, authentic memory card
2. I have tried burning two different images with Phoenix Card and DiskImager
3. I don't have an Ethernet cable attached
4. I have tried two different power supples (5V/2.1A latest one)

Is there *any* way of debugging the boot process so I can figure out if it's a power issue, an image issue or a hardware issue?

thanks in advance,
  Nik

So I've setup a guide on how to setup Octoprint on the Pine64 2gb model. It is kind of lengthy and the only thing I don't have working quite yet is webcam support. But it is coming! 

Pine64 Octoprint setup

1. Download Base Debian Image
2. cd /usr/local/sbin/
3. sudo ./resize_rootfs.sh
4. sudo apt-get update
5. sudo apt-get upgrade
6. sudo reboot now 


****WIFI SETUP****
****use ifconfig to find ip first, then ssh into ethernet ip***
1. sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
2. add the following:
***comment out
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
****will get stuck at boot without this when not connected to ethernet
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "YOUR-SSID-HERE"
wpa-psk "YOUR-PASSWORD-HERE"
3. sudo ifup wlan0
4. sudo ifconfig wlan0
5. ping router-ip-here
6. ping google.com
7. sudo service networking restart 
8. sudo reboot now 

****Octoprint Setup Without Webcam****
1. cd ~
2. sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev python-setuptools python-virtualenv git libyaml-dev build-essential
3. git clone https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint.git
4. cd OctoPrint
5. virtualenv venv
6. ./venv/bin/pip install pip --upgrade
7. ./venv/bin/python setup.py install
8. mkdir ~/.octoprint
9. sudo usermod -a -G tty debian
10. sudo usermod -a -G dialout debian

***To Test Octoprint is working
11. ~/OctoPrint/venv/bin/octoprint

***This section allows for starting Octoprint when at boot
12. sudo nano ~/OctoPrint/scripts/octoprint.init
***edit following to:
DAEMON=/home/debian/OctoPrint/venv/bin/octoprint
13. sudo nano ~/Octoprint/scripts/octoprint.default
**edit following to:
OCTOPRINT_USER=debian
DAEMON=/home/debian/OctoPrint/venv/bin/octoprint
14. sudo cp ~/OctoPrint/scripts/octoprint.init /etc/init.d/octoprint
15. sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/octoprint
16. sudo cp ~/OctoPrint/scripts/octoprint.default /etc/default/octoprint
17. sudo update-rc.d octoprint defaults
18. sudo service octoprint {stop|start|restart}
----You should now be able to boot into octoprint from <PINEIP:5000> from a web browser

***Make everything accessible on port 80
1. sudo apt-get install haproxy
2. sudo nano /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
***add following to bottom
   global
        maxconn 4096
        user haproxy
        group haproxy
        daemon
        log 127.0.0.1 local0 debug

        option forwardfor
        maxconn 2000
        timeout connect 5s
        timeout client  15min
        timeout server  15min

frontend public
        bind *:80
        use_backend webcam if { path_beg /webcam/ }
        default_backend octoprint

backend octoprint
        reqrep ^([^\ :]*)\ /(.*)     \1\ /\2
        option forwardfor
        server octoprint1 127.0.0.1:5000

backend webcam
        reqrep ^([^\ :]*)\ /webcam/(.*)     \1\ /\2
        server webcam1  127.0.0.1:8080

3. sudo nano /etc/default/haproxy
***add following to bottom
ENABLE=1

4. sudo nano ~/.octoprint/config.yaml
***add following to bottom
server:
host: 127.0.0.1

***This is will now allow you log in to OctoPrint from <PINE64IP>.

TO change that from <PINE64IP> to pine64.local 
1.sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon
2. sudo reboot 
Note: If using Windows PC to log in to pine64.local install Bonjour

Hi again,

I have more than one pine64 but all have by default the same mac address which caused some headaches because of network problems and outages ... It took a while to find out what the reason is. I had to change the mac address permanently on two of my three pine64 to get it running.

So this is what I did to manage it:

# sudo nano /boot/uEnv.txt

There I changed the "ethaddr" entry and added another "mac_addr" entry:

ethaddr=36:c9:e3:f1:b8:01
mac_addr=36:c9:e3:f1:b8:01

After reboot, all went fine! Hope that helps

#mac_addr
#macaddress
#network_problem

Hi Guys,

Because of no answer from Pine or tllim I'm posting this in the forum.

Months ago I got this tracking number, but it returned to China?
After some IM with tllim he isn't writing back.

My Kickstarter Support number is 26.480


Can someone help me?
