hey,

surprisingly, didn't find any previous info about it in this forum...

got my new 1GB RAM pine64, installed the 20160505 release of Android image on my 16gb Sandisk card (couldn't install the newest 20160711 release, the same issue with everyone else here that it exceeds the card's size limit).

up and running though, really nice.
but - it doesn't seem to recognize the wifi module (the board-integrated one, not a USB).
tried to turn on the WIFI of course, look for more advanced settings, plug it out and then back onto the board - no response.
I suppose there is no terminal and commands that can be used on Android, unlike linux... right?

so what should I do? I  assume there is a known solution.

thanks!

Hello,

I've ordered PINE A64+ Board 1GB on June 02, 2016 13:36. I've paid $31 including $12 shipping. Money from my credit card was deducted on June 05. 
Now it's above month, and I haven't received any info about my order. I think that when I pay $12 for shipping, I should receive it in a week, so could you please cancel my order and refund me money?

I've already sent you two emails but without any response...

Order number is: #8162253

Thanks.

Hi there,

Here's the thing. I just received my Pine64 but only a few weeks after the only screen I had died (and my finances aren't in the mood for buying a new screen just now).
I just wanted to get a Pine to use it as a server and host some stuff on it anyway, so I'd like to know if there's any image available with just minimal setup, no graphic and SSH turned on so I can just boot my Pine on it and administrate it through SSH. And if there's no such image, is there some resources available somewhere on how to create one?

Thanks 

Hoping to get some insight from anyone who is successfully using the I2C expansion board.

I'm using the Pine temp/humidity sensor...tested with some python code (grabbed from the web and modified) and the sensor works great when using the Pi Bus I2C pins. It also works with the I2C expansion board plugged in and connected to the expansion board pins.

When I plug into one (any) of the I2C expansion board ports, nada...I get an I/O error. After some quick troubleshooting, I see that the device is no longer seen on the I2C bus when i do an i2cdetect command. The fact that the bus pins are confirmed functional, and its specifically with the board ports, it suggests to me there is something more needed that I'm missing.

I have a second I2C expansion board, same issue, so would not appear the board is defective.

Jumpers are on the 3.3v pins as I've confirmed they should be.

I'm running debian-mate, and since I2C works from the bus pins, I don't see it as an OS issue. KH Goh mentioned checking bus speed and confirming its at 10 khz, but would think bus speed would not be a factor as far as being able to see the device on the bus. That said, if anyone can tell me where within the OS configs I can check I2C bus speed, I'd love to eliminate that possibility and also know where it is for future reference.

There is not a lot of detail on the wiki page regarding the expansion board, but I interpret what is there to suggest that I should be able treat the expansion ports just like I would a connection direct to the bus pins.

Thoughts?

Hi
It has been 1.5months since i received my tracking no. for PINE64. My tracking no is RI902593558CN. Can you please help to verify? Not sure if the package is found or something?

Can't update to Android Release 20160711. I launch the Update app and it says "Undiscover new version". I haven't rooted Android. What should I do? Can I perform an online or local update without lose my app configuration?

Just got my board and was wondering if I can use and exsisting power button and reset button that is already on the enclosure I want to use. There are little holes to put wire through and solder up. Just don't want to mess anything up. I can't find anything to helpful yet. It seems a little to new yet. Under the word Power there is 2 big holes and 2 little holes with a plus in the middle. It is the same under the word Reset as well. There is 2 wires on each button on the enclosure I am using. So it looks like it will work out. Like I said I just want to make sure. Thank you for any help I can get. This is my first post. So I hope I did it right.

Hi,
I see that my hard drive won't even turn on from the pine's USB port.
I know Raspberry PI has a max current setting that can be set on config.txt (max_usb_current=1)

Is there any equivalent setting on the Pine64?
I know I can use a powered USB hub (or cable), but that's very cumbersome comparing to a config change.

Thanks!

Hi all,
Just got my pine and was eager to test it out.
I installed Linux (latest debian) and was able to do most of what I needed - sshd, nginx, clang, all kinds of goodies!
However, when I start Kodi it is unusably-slow. It takes like 10-15 seconds to update the cursor position.
Is this related to the long fore-coming Mali driver? What exactly goes wrong?
Thanks!

Hello

I just purchased the Pine64. I am looking forward with playing with it.

Has anyone successfully loaded ROS (ros.org) onto the Pine64 and if they did, what operation system did they use? I went to the ROS website, unfortunately there is not much there on the subject unlike RPI3.

I have not yet tried any of the OSs but I am thinking Ubuntu will be the first .

Thanks Jesse
