This is my favorite PI Bus pinout diagram, from the people at www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk

The pinout is oriented the same way the pins are oriented if you look at the PineA64 board with the Euler bus at the bottom and the PI bus at the top.

This pics is good because it helps keep the special functions clear by color from the general pins, and from the grounds (all eight of them).

EDIT:  NOTE:  GPIO04  pin(7)  cannot be used with RPi.GPIO-PineA64 with the current dts|dtb.  Pin(7) is PL10 on the pine board, which is the S_PWM, for use as the LCD backlight brightness pulse width modulation.

Hi all,

I was happy to find out that since May Arduino released an ARM version of the IDE (currently 1.6.9). I tried installing it in my A64+ but sadly it didn't work and gives this error:

Just installed the July 11 rooted, Phoenix, Android version and here are a couple of observations.

1.  On my older LCD 1080P 60hz TV, everything was too small.  Had to change the build prop DPI setting to 240 from 160.  Did not have to do that on the earlier version.

2.  Gigabit Ethernet is still not working.  WiFi has taken a hit also, only getting half the download speed from the earlier version.

3.  Some of the apps open up sideways, did not happen in earlier version.

The build prop says it is a tablet version.  Not sure who is building these roms, but they seem to be going backwards.

Getting the gigabit Ethernet to work properly is a NUMBER 1 priority, until that is done, Android is not usable for me.

I booted ubuntu on my Pine 64+ 2GB per this guide. I used the Ubuntu Base Longsleep download.  It booted just fine, but when i try to run the command to update uboot, i get this error.  The pine is connected to the network via cat-6 cable.  I can ping google.com and i can SSH to the pine from my desktop, so I know it's got a good network connection.

Has any progress been made getting access to the GPIO pins while running Android?

I have an Arduino project that decodes some GPIO bus signals.  It uses very specific timing, and since the Arduino has no kernel, it won't get preempted.

I would like to port it to the Pine, or add the functionality of the Pine to the project because the Adruino can't do SSL, it can't really make a nice Web interface either.

Can I rewrite the source to use something like python GPIO and achieve the same results, or will pre-empting skew up the timings?  The baud rate is very low, it can be adjusted from 12v to 3.3v with a regulator and the lag on the rising / falling regulator doesn't mess up the timings.

Would it be easier to keep the bus decoding on Arduino and communicate with the Pine via SPI or something like that?

Hi Guys,
I installed Android and also Remix OS but both are very lagy. Huge delay between click and action. 
I have 2GB model with wifi and BT and I'm using Kingstone 8GB SD Card Class 10.

Wiith wich SD card you have best experience?

Thank you
Have a nice day

I tried remix Os last night. Everything worked right out of the box. However slow Ethernet speed is driving me nuts. I'm on Ethernet, no wifi module with my board. I have 75 Mbps at my home, no gigabit. I tested speed and it's around 1.5 Mbps download and 12Mbps upload. Not sure what is limiting the download  speed. Due to this I'm not able to stream at all.

Any help to resolve this is appreciated !!!

There are two unpopulated sets of vias for LED's on the board between the power switch and the IR socket.  I was just wondering if anyone knows what they are for.

has anyone created a decent "enclosure" for their pine64 that includes the lcd?
what did you do?
how did you orient the PCB in regards to the panel, so that the cables reach nicely?
what was it made of?
did you get the camera in there somehow?
other addons?

i'm thinking about getting some lexan (i have a sheet around here somewhere) and try to put something together so that i can at least hold the thing like a tablet, until my actual enclosure arrives (via the original kickstarter).
