Can anyone please -based on this image http://wiki.pine64.org/images/7/7d/Pine6...nector.png - map the exact pins used to power the board as well as those 2 that provide 5V? 

Sorry if I've missed it but I couldn't find more info.

Hello forum.

I am running debian on a pine64 (2GB) and i want to access a device on the i2c-bus.

While two busses show up (/dev/i2c-0 and i2c-1) i can not see my device using i2cdetect.

I tried "modprobe i2c-dev" but it does not show up in lsmod after that. Usually there also has to be a kernel module for the processor (i2c_bcm2xxx) that is loaded before i2c-dev, but i can't find it. Is it implemented yet for the cortex 53?


Does anyone have ideas what i could try next? Afaik a change in the /boot/config has to be made for the raspberry pi3. Is there maybe a similar change neccessary for the pine?

Hi,

I received my shipment tracking info last week, only... upon checking now:

one shipment is en-route, jippie! 
one shipment tracking id says: expired?! 

What does that mean?

Thanks for any (fast) replies.

Preface: Running A64+ 2GB board with a 16GB Sandisk class 10 card running Android Rooted 5.1.1 2016/05/05 release found here.

How does one enable ethernet within android? I can get the wifi working just fine however I can't seem to find any options to enable/configure ethernet within the OS.

The only thing close I can find is under data usage you can track data over ethernet, however every time I click it the settings panel crashes.

I've tried using both in 1Gbps and 100mbps mode (by using a switch, verified to be working at 100mbps with other hardware) and the Ethernet just won't work. 

Anyone had any luck getting the ethernet working within android on this board?

Hey all, question for you.  I have my Pine up and running with Ubuntu and the Mate GUI.  I'm trying to install some 3rd party encryption, specifically Veracrypt at this point and I'm having some difficulty.  I have a basic working knowledge of Linux, but am still quite a noob when it comes to anything other than the basics so please bear with me.

I have installed the software manually (apt-get failed to install it) and it appears to have installed, but when I run it, nothing happens.  If I attempt to run it from the terminal, I get a syntax error (

I guess my first question is will Veracrypt run on Mate?  And if so, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hello.

I ordered 16x boards after KS, on the PROMISE ON THE WEBSITE that said "It'll ship late May but not later". Well it's 2nd of June now, and it's not shipped yet.

Tllim is ignoring me as usual, and I'm pretty displeased with this customer service as a whole. This is level of crap service is a road to disaster.

Don't ignore people who spend a lot of money on this. It'll cause only grief for you and your company.
Also, don't break sales promises. That's a trade violation illegal in several countries.

I'd originally planned to run my two 2GB Pine64+ boards as Docker "servers" anyway - so I'm following these series of guides :

and :

and thanks to @longsleep for providing us bootstraps - and no disprespect intended to @longsleep in my earlier rants and tirades...

Hi all, 

Just letting you all know that IRC chat is now accessible directly from the forums. The Chat icon is located in the top bar (see attachment) next to: FB, Twitter, Wiki, etc. 

You can still use a dedicated client if you wish as per these instructions. 

Luke

[edit] kind request: I had two people report issues connecting using the new system. If you experience issues, please let  me know in this post. Thanks!

This is really what I bought 2 x 2GB Pine64+ boards for :

I've decided that NOTHING provided by anyone at Pine is going to be of any use.  So gonna build my own use above guides.

I might put the Pine touchpanel on my BananaPI (unfortunately it doesn't have a touch interface connector on the board), shame because what I was hoping was to have a dedicated 64 bit ARM / RISC docker machine, and one that I could run Debian and some X server with touch-panel that I could easily switch to Console only mode...

Not having Bluetooth is a really PITA - but I'll live with that DISFUNCTIONAL aspect of the Pine "stock" WiFi/BT module - and wire in USB keyb/mouse combo - or just use UART and SSH.

I just received my backer kit that came with the open acrylic case. One of the four standoffs or supports for the board was broken off, leaving a divet in the acrylic. I'm not really sold on this particular case, I would prefer a completely enclosed case obscuring the board from vision, but this is what was offered in my kit. I know many people like to show off their "creations" but I'm a bit more humble and prefer the black box of mystery. I'm not sure if there is any broken item replacements in a Kickstarter project, nor am I wanting this as my "forever" case for my device. Any ideas or advice? 

BTW, I haven't actually installed the OS on my device... just putting it together at this time but should be attempting that in the next hour or so.
