Hi all,
I got my self an Adafruit 16x2 LCD display, put it all together, plugged it in and it won't turn on, not even the backlight. I was wondering if someone had experience with the LCD and don't mind helping me.

I got two of the PINE64 while back for my OBDII project as well as for a another project for the kitchen and its been on the shelf for a while. I have no experience with GPIOs or I2C and recently got socked in to experiment with it. From what I read, PINE64 pins are same as it on Raspberry Pi and I though that the LCD would be compatible with PINE64. Aperintly it's not the case. If I can get some guidance on how to make it work with PINE64, that would be awesome.

Anybody can make one armbian distribution?

They have a distribution for odroid C2 which has same processor.

Thanks a lot.

I saw that UVC support is now added to the latest release, however, it doesn't seem to work on my board with the device I have. I have the following device attached: http://www.oupree.com/UVC-USB-CVBS-RAC-A...ndows.html

It seems to recognize the device only there is no image being displayed. 

I have an ubuntu installation on a Raspberry Pi 2 that works with it.

Also, the Camera Application is gone?

I have the 2GB Board

What is the password for the root user?

Dear pine64 experts,

We are trying to set up a board using a A64 with LPDDR3 and are getting into trouble in the RAM initialization.
In the pine64 BSP, you provide a binary libdram and we would like to know if you would be able to give us some info about this binary (per chance, you got the source in the meanwhile ;-). We think that the code should perform an autodetect, but it seems to fail during dqs training.

Any help much welcome.

Cheers
Daniel

Hi,

I need to use SPI interface to access GPIO pins.

It is possible to enable the interface on the PINE64+ ? There is no spidev in /dev directory.
Or this feature is not available on this board ?

Thanks

Hey guys,

so after playing around alot with the ethtool (in the end i set it to 100mbit, because even with the newest kernel/uboot and longsleeps network script i cant get better speeds)

Now i tried to download over a OpenVPN Server, but the performance is way worse then i expected. From around 9-10 MB/s (my isp allows up to 12 MB/s so im quite pleased with how fast the pine64 can get).

Before anyone asks "maybe the vpn server is just not fast enough". Just after i tested the speeds of the pine (with vpn), i tested my laptop (also with the same vpn) and there im getting near max speeds (9-10 mb/s).

The ./speedtest-cli (tested a few times) results are also disappointing.

I hoped that the pine64 is powerful enough for a OpenVPN connection with good speeds :/

Can someone help ? /Give advice ?

I try and download the images from the Pine64 site and they crawl so bad I feel like I'm on 2400 baud modem again, and I have 40Mb down! They should really look into more servers to download from. I just tried to download the Ubuntu image and it took like 3 hours and then the download still failed.

Is there anywhere to download the images other than the main web site? I am looking for the latest stable images.

Thanks everyone.

Does anyone have any tuning methods for PMS?  I know I can optimize each video, but want to avoid that if possible.

Hey guys, it seems that the Marshmallow SDK that is on the wiki is corrupted. I cannot extract some files inside the archive properly.


Is anyone from the Pine64 team going to fix this?
