So got the board about two weeks ago and am trying to get it to boot. I have the LCD so down loaded the Phoenix card image for the LCD screen. Have Sandisk 32GB microSD I purchased from BH Photo so confident it was not a fake.  Phoenix card runs fine without any issues and installs image no error messages. Put in board power it up and nothing. No screen flicker or anything. The LED on board comes on for about 3 seconds then goes off. Power supply is from Pine64.

Hi guys,

I downloaded the Remix OS image for 8GB SD cards and everything worked fine. However, after switching to the 32GB image, the sound quality is really poor. Has anybody experienced this?
I have the Pine64+ 2GB and downloaded the images from here

Thanks!

Alright, so I'm interested in creating a smart mirror like project (this has been done on the rpi before).
However, I'm not sure how to handle input/controls. Here's a couple suggestions I had.

1. Touchscreen monitor/module 
Seemed like a good choice at first, but if put behind a 2 way mirror, I doubt it will work

2. Voice commands
Not sure how easy this would be to implement...

3. Gesture control
Probably even harder than voice commands.

4. Wireless mouse/keyboard 
Should work fine, but seems like a janky solution that would compromise the whole idea behind a smart mirror

5. Could possibly use a touchpad/keyboard solution such as

6. Maybe I could use my android phone as a remote?

Basically at this point I'm looking for any ideas on how to handle user input.
I was thinking of using android or remix since they already have a bunch of apps that can be downloaded.

I published a small script that will create a bootable microSD card running SlackwareARM 14.2 @ https://bitbucket.org/gwenhael/pine64-slackware

Enjoy and contribute.

Has anyone gotten any OS to work with a 128GB microSD card? I attempted to flash the Remix OS to mine and it seemed to work, but got hung up on the Remix OS loading screen when I tried to boot it. When I was downloading the OS from the Pine wiki I noticed that there appear to be builds made for the various sized cards, but they top out at 64GB. I'm a total novice so there may be something I'm missing here, do I have to wait until there's a new build for the OS that's compatible with the 128GB card?

So the LCD on shop.pine64.com is sold out; what are my alternative choices for a small monitor?

Can I just buy any small HDMI monitor or are there likely to be compatibility issues?

Ok. Looks like the goods have arrived. I'm required to collect them from the post office now.

They left a message to pick it up. Refer to the image.

Yep its got my tracking number on it.

I'll go and pick it up tomorrow after work.

Cheers,
Vinod

I received the board a little over a week ago (A64+, 1GB). I ordered the board with an 32 GB sd card and had selected to have android installed, but now I want to make a Ubuntu disk but when I try to format the disk, before I get to the Unetbootin step, I get an error. I'm on Ubuntu (cinnamon) and using the disks utility where I receive the following error:

Quote:Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0)

I finally received my package with the new Pine A64 board and the items ordered. The package was open at the top and looks like the WiFi BT card (802.11N Wifi + Bluetooth 4.0) and the push button gift and playkit were not inside my package. I have tried to email and so far nothing.... Can someone from Allwinner Technology   help me get these shipped out...

Thank you for any help you can provide 18,795th backer on @BackerKit for PINE A64

Just booted up my Pine64 for the first time - the color is all messed up. 
Tried both Android and Linux boots. The monitor and cable work fine with my laptop.
I'm assuming it's a hardware fault. Any ideas? How do I go about getting it replaced?
