Backer number #31,343
I Order a few extra items with my two Pine64 boards and waiting ages for delivery like everyone else...
When the order arrived, it was missing two Items that I ordered and contained extra items i did not order.
I have contacted support twice with no success. Not even a reply to say we are looking at this.
To be honest, this is rather pathetic. Why do I need to moan about something before anyone takes action.
First Mail was sent 14 June (A month ago), Second mail was sent 29th June (2 weeks ago) and I have still have no feedback what so ever!
Please refund me my money for the missing items and I will buy them else where.
So Far the Pine64 has been a huge disappointment for me. I order the Air Remote and HDMI to use the Pine as a Media player, only for them not to arrive so I cant use it as a Media Player. Then I find out that Kodi is not supporting the Pine64 either, but during the Kickstarter Campaign, this was one of the features... And sold as a Media player. (also not supporting HDMI CEC which is needed for a media player)
Im writing these boards off as a loss... they will become some low power linux playgrounds... Will be replacing them with Odroid boards rather which are same price and have full support from the developers and community and actually work as they describe they should.
Im hoping things change in the future, but for now these boards are going in the cupboard and I will be focusing my attention on the Odriod boards rather.
PS: I tried to upload the photo I sent to support of the missing items, but this forum not allwoing me to upload the image.

| Arduino IDE on Pine64 |

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:
Code: ./arduino: line 34: /home/debian/Downloads/arduino-1.6.9/java/bin/java: No such file or directory
I did the same thing on my recently received CHIP and it worked without any hiccups. So, I'm wondering if the problem is related to an issue with ARM64 architecture.
Have anyone tried to install it in their PINEs?
Have anyone tried to compile it on the PINE? If so, how?
Thanks!!!

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.
Code: ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo -i
[sudo] password for ubuntu:
root@localhost:~# /usr/local/sbin/pine64_update_uboot.sh
Checking for update ...
Downloading U-Boot image ...
curl: (56) GnuTLS recv error (-54): Error in the pull function.
root@localhost:~# /usr/local/sbin/pine64_update_kernel.sh
Checking for update ...
Downloading Linux Kernel ...
curl: (56) GnuTLS recv error (-54): Error in the pull function.

Any ideas?

| Porting Arduino project advice |

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?
Arduino project for reference:
https://github.com/markkimsal/homesecurity
I have constraints similar to this SO question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17115...nel-driver
I have to listen and respond to lines being driven low for approximately 10ms.
So, it seems like keeping the Arduino is the way to go ... ?
Are the issues in the SO question common amongst ARM dev boards?
Do the answers make sense to anyone?

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 !!!
