I finally received my Pine A64 and the touchscreen is cracked.  I must say I was disappointed in the shipping envelope used to ship a touch screen panel, now trying to find contact information to get it exchanged although I am not entirely to thrilled about waiting for a reply from them.  I for some reason cannot get the photo to attatch.

I received my Pine today. 2GB board with a pre-installed Android OS card. I plugged in the board and have it running, there's an image on the screen, but the Pine A64 remote does nothing and I can't find anything. Not surprised Pine sold accessories without any explanation of how to use them.

Hi all!

So I (finally) received my two 1Gb boards yesterday, along with a 16gb microSD with the OpenHAB image (and a few other items). Popped the wifi/bt board on one board, put it in the open acrylic case, put the microSD card in the slot, plugged in a USB keyboard and HDMI to the TV and then powered on...

Success!

Got a console login prompt on the TV, the OpenHAB server is up on port 8080 and I can ssh into the Pine64 from my main Linux box.  

Now, I'm just getting my bearings. I've been reading around, but please do forgive me if these questions are "basic".

1) As far as I can tell, OpenHAB is a set of services running on top of, for example, Linux. In this case, what I have received appears to be an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installation (with OpenHAB 2.0.0.b3 pre-installed). Is that correct?
2) If that is correct, does that mean that I can "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop" to get a GUI going?
3) The wiki page for OpenHAB talks about running resize_rootfs.sh, but unless I am mistaken, the image I got already uses the 16gb of the card, no? In fact, I did run resize_rootfs.sh and I believe it exited with a message that there was nothing to do. Might want to update the Wiki I guess?

4) Perhaps a bit less easy to answer but... I also ordered (and received) the temperature and humidity sensor. I didn't realize there is not an i2c port on the Pine64 board itself, so I did not get Multi I2C Bus card. Can anyone provide a pointer about how to go about getting i2c communication going between the board and sensor? I'm prepared to buy a breadboard and some parts, but I'm a noob at all this...

Overall, fairly happy with the experience so far! Some hiccups in getting the hardware out (my package was untrackable and took about a month from shipping notice to me receiving something, and there's still no zwave on the horizon, AFAICT), but nothing unexpected given that this is a Kickstarter project...

Thanks for any pointers on my questions!

I just missed the Kickstarter program, ordering my Pine A64+ on Feb 9th.  And of course, was not able to order any accessories to go with it due to the store not being open yet.  Also not having any idea what I was going to need because that information was not posted on the website. Store opens on what May 2nd, however I dont know when I will be getting my board and I also don't know what products I am going to need for a computer browser and a media center having never messed with Android, Remix OS or Linux, and reading the forum I got kinda scared.... so I waited, now ordered items on June 26 and will not receive until mid July......

My point is that there are BACKERS  who have not yet received their BACKER KITS, yet I have received my board already.  Just doesn't seem FAIR AT ALL.

And I do understand other items are back-ordered but I am sure those BACKERS would like to have communication on the status of their boards....

Computers are in fact a communication device

I don't know, maybe I am the odd thinking one..........

and I live not 80 miles from the company, could have driven there and picked it up long ago if possible.....

Board is warped, LCD Screen is Destroyed.

Emailed support, but just in case I don't get a response from them due to workload

7" LCD Display don't work followed other post and double checked my connections  also downloaded the android ver 5.1.1-lcd and still no go checked if I had HDMI and no video so turned it off and placed in the original android lollypop 64 gb card rebooted and have HDMI any help and Yes all pins are down

I am having trouble finding the 5v|batt jumper (the one next to the PineLogo) on the schematics !

... can someone tell me where it's located on the sheets?  tnx.

Also, does that jumper need to be moved in order to use the batt|charger ?

tnx, again.

Does the hdmi port support both industry standards CEA & DMT ?

In uEnv.txt, is there a way to specify which hdmi_group we're using [ CEA or DMT ] ?

Hi,
I find some issues regarding this Debian version. When i click on upper right corner where connection information is, and after that i request connection information, it says error connection and there is no active connection. I tried to do snapshot of this situation and again there was an error saying PNG type is not supported and therefore it can not make any screenshots.
Also iceweasel started blocking when accessing You tube, just stood there and the only option is to do xkill.
All these things happened after installing last kernel.
At this moment i do apt-get upgrade in order to see if everything is ok.
Maybe these issues with kernel should be fixed as soon as possible.
last option is to re-burn original ime and trying not to upgrade latest kernel
Longsleep, do you have any answer to this ?

I attempted to connect my Pine running Remix to a projector, only for it to not work, and be met with a screen saying "frequency out of range". I found out that there are multiple reasons for this, but a possible one is if the refresh rate is set above 60Hz. Is it possible to see/change the refresh rate of Remix OS? The Debian image is working just fine.
