I have my pine 64+ up with Andorid 5.1.1, and I want to make my PINE 64 send UART signals with Android,
but I cannot let my computer communicate to PINE 64 when I connect them with micro USB
Does anyone have the experience of developing UART apps and using ADB on PINE 64 ?

This worked for me, I cant guarantee it will work for anyone else's issue but if you have a spare ethernet cable abut then it cant do any harm.

I haven't been able to use my Ethernet properly since getting the board, I found a work around where I route it through to 100mbit power line adapters and the 100mbit ports get it working but soon as I plug it in to my gigabit router it stops. I cant change the ports to fast Ethernet 100mbit either, but this isnt ideal so i found a better solution.....


My solution is to mod the ethernet cable which works perfectly, I used a standard cat5 straight through cable 

Opened it up and cut all of the blue and brown wires, so thats 4,5,7 and 8 secure the wire with electrical table and you're sorted, this will be in 100mbit mode and once a fix comes out you will be able to solder the wires or use another cable to use gigabit again.

While I could not get Kodi to correctly reproduce AC3 audio via pass-through (cuts out for a fraction of a second every 5-10 seconds or so), I have been able to achieve correct AC3 audio reproduction with SPMC.  Playback of recorded mpeg-ts files has been great with no video sync issues or audio issues.  However, I am not getting great playback of live TV (via HDHomerun via tvheadend on an Odroid C1+).  I will need to explore that more, but more than likely it is related to my network/NAS setup.  The best playback experience of NAS mpeg-ts files has been through using Plex / MX player mashup.

My current settings / setup for SPMC is listed out below:

• Android: 5.1.1 HDMI image release 20160505 64gb version non-rooted
  
• SPMC build: SPMC 16.3-0 Git:2016-04-30-22df3d0-dirty
  
• CAT 6 cables between as many devices as possible: Pine64 and Fast Ethernet (100/10) Switch which is then connected to my router (not sure if this made a difference as I did not methodically test it, but before CAT 6 I had lesser cables between some of these devices and I know at that time SPMC was not working correctly either)
  
• HDMI from Pine64 to Marantz Receiver
  

So I got my order the Pine64 BOX, but the 64GB microSD card wasn't in the packaging.  anyone else not get their card? who do I contact about it?

Thanks,
Mike

I'm super worried now that I'll never see my order in a timely fashion

I finally got tracking info it made it all the way to my local post office and out for delivery, never made it to my door and now they don't know where it is

Package is:
Pine64+ (1gb RAM)
RTC CR
SD card w/remix OS

I'm not sure if there is anything Pine can do to assist in getting USPS to resolve this matter quickly but I'm concerned with all the shipping and supply issues that it'll take forever for replacement.....

Does anyone know if there will be support for the pine64 touch screen?

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.
