Hi all together,

I wrote a tutorial on my offcial Facebook page for Pine64 about the installation of the LCD in german language.

For english speaking people:
I've explained all with pictures too! So, you could also understand my tutorial without words

I hope it'll help someone

Best regards

Hi my camera, Himax 5 Megapixel Camera Module , on the ORDER #8163248. My pine 64 plus with 2gb ram does not recognize the module. Is anyone else having this problem?

Has anyone attempted to run a Starbound server on the Pine64? I had read that the server was able to be ran on Ubuntu.

Just wondering, would the Pine64 work with the Keyrah legacy-keyboard to USB adapter?

HI,

I've been using PINE64 since I received it and have had no problems, once I burned Android to my SD Card. I won't mention the airmouse as I@m not using it but rather the Minix M1 which is far superior [actually works]

My question[s] is : Is there any way of changing the mouse pointer to be more noticeable? At the moment, it's predominantly dark with a slight light outline. Is there a way to reverse this where the mainly light with a dark outline. Or maybe have a settings toggle to toggle between 2 or 3 options?

For example, if I'm watching Netflix, it's all but impossible to see the pointer. I have to search the screen. It's a minor annoyance but would be great if it was just gone

Hi,

Finally got my Pine64 2GB !
Running Android and everything seems OK.

I heard that it is possible to watch and record TV using DVB-T USB Dongle but the Pine doesn't seem to work with the one I have.
Are there any suggestions for a dongle that does work ?
Maybe there's a driver I could install for the one I have ?

This is the one I got from eBay

Thanks,
Mcz

Hi,

 I have a spare 4.3 inch mobile phone (moto e) display. Can it be connected to the pine64 ? is there some cable or extension need to connect this? are these compatible?? how do I go about setting this up?

I see that these displays are hi res and pretty cheap. Some replacement 5 inch displays with touch are less than $20.  I searched the forum and dont see anyone using these.

Help!

When I'm working with my Pine64+ via the ssh/terminal my keystrokes are intermittently delayed and will hang for various  times. This is only happening with one of my 2 pine64+ boards the other no problem at all.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Cheers Henry

Hello everyone,

So I'm new to the SBC world with my pine64+.
Therefore I did a lot of reading about bootloading, rootfs and all the crap about allwinner's BSP and boot0 firmware...

 I compiled a lot of stuff, but ended up figuring it would be easier to use the "base" image from apritzel. Problems are : 
- I don't have my pine with me to experiment
- I would like to make sure about what I need to do exactly

By using dumpimage of the boot script my understanding is the following:
- I can keep the dtb file which will be picked up through the ${fdtfile} in the boot script
- I should add my kernel in the image file as "uImage" or in "boot/uImage"
- the rootfs should be on the second partition of the image (therefore on mmcblk0p2 once on SD

I have an AARCH64 rootfs using a qemu debootstrap I found in one the pages
I know the kernel has a lot of shortcomings, but ethernet, SD should be ok if ssh agrees to work out of the box...

I also need to figure out how to setup initial user accounts on the image.

That's all 
Any help appreciated

   

With this setup (lennyraposo debian mate), the 2G PineA64 and motor speed controlled fan, usb receiver, LED GPIO lab, gps module (in the foreground) using as a full desktop PC mid to heavy loading,  I am getting six (6) hours of continuous use from the Pine64 battery model 9070120p  8000 mah lithion.  

This is fairly consistent between my LCD cb&dt Play Box running Android.
