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'm not sure what my next step should be. Has anyone come across this error and have a solution or have a solution anyway, I looked at fdisk but after reading the man was still not quite clear on the usage.... (still somewhat of a linux newbie, fan but newbie)
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?
Ah, so it's because I'm using a DVI to HDMI converter. I'd forgotten it was there since it works fine with my laptop and Raspberry Pi.
I'll have to find something with a true HDMI input to test it on.
The micropython (PYBv1.0 STM32F405RG pictured above) is an excellent peripheral plug-in for your PineA64 board. This little jewel has Python3 running on the bare-metal; has built-in accelerometer, ADC, DAC, i2c, SPI, pwm GPIO and even with all the header pins I've installed on mine, weighs in at a whopping 10g. It is being powered by the usb here, and can be programmed in three ways (onboard, on PineA64, on serial console !).
I have the pyboard powered up here via the 5v rail on the PineA64 ! I plan to use this board as the low lever controller (will have three of them) for my quad drone. But this little board makes an excellent low level controller for the PineA64 too, freeing up the PineA64 for analytics; while the MicroPython micro-controller handles the real-time critical low level stuff...
After almost month after recieving email that my reward had been shipped, I sent this email as I hadn't recieved anything yet.
Now, it has been unanswered for almost a month again. What's up?
This is the email I sent:
----
Hi, you asked backers to submit tracking numbers if they haven’t recieved their items yet.
I recieved my tracking id on 16th of May, but it still doesn’t show any tracking information and I haven’t recieved the shipment. It’s been almost a month already.
My tracking id is: RI902589519CN
----
My backer# is 23,605
Aftership tracking gives me status "Pending" and after a few page refreshes "Expired"...
I haven't received my Pine64 yet even after more than 1.5 month. There is no update on the tracking page since last one month. Here is my tracking "RI894380179CN"
Any updates on this matter? How to claim refund for this? I tried to contact Pine64 support email but no response.
I am using xenial BSP image on my 2gb board. Now,I'd like to install or Dash-to dock or Cairo-dock. I can able to install cairo-dock but I have to run from the dashboard at every boot . I like to keep it permanent by using unity. So I have installed Unity-tweek-tool but its not showing up on my GUI and I cant select to change my desktop. Is it possible for me to use any one of these? Also, I like to use these in Debian too.
Unity-tweek-tool, when I click launch from the software, it gives me error of notify-osd package missing. ANy idea.
