Does anyone know if there are compatible USB NICs for the Pine64?
I'd like to turn mine into a firewall/router.

Hello,

as Android isn't working great on the Pine64 2GB at least for me I tried the Ubuntu image. To be honest I'm not impressed. I tried to check a Youtube Video on a TV and it's like watching a slide show, the sound is normal but there is no video, just pictures.

Any idea why video performance is that bad? I expected a better initial experience.

Thanks, 

Michael

Hi,

I got the Pine64 2GB version yesterday with the screen, it didn't boot into the screen with the provided image. So I hooked it up to a HDMI monitor and it booted, but the resolution of the apps is way off, somehow the apps don't scale at all, in the browser the address field takes up most space, Youtube vidoes seems to run in 240VGA and really slow, move like a slide show.

Any idea on how to fix the performance and the screen resolution problem? I tried it on a TV too and same, the resolution is awful and performance far from great. 

I use a few Raspberry PIs and so far the experience with them is better and performance for video display extremely better.

Thanks,
Michael

I ordered 4 X Pine64+ 2GB but only received 3.  Order number 8162158.  I have contacted sales and every other email that was available on the website with no response.  I even posted on the Facebook page still with no response.  I was planning to buy more but at this point I will probably look at a competitor.    
 
 

Hi guys,
I received yesterday a couple of pine64 boards.
the thing is that I connected a headset to the 3.5 mm and it did not work as expected :-)

1 with android image, the SO detect them as as regualar earphones. (without mic) I cant record anything.
2 with ubuntu image. the operating system only show the devices for the hdmi audio.

So can someone confirm how this work? I guess is something that was not 100% compatible on the software side. but I would like to have a confirmation.

Regards.

Has ANYONE received the plastic case from PINE (the one that can enclose the 7" LCD screen) as of yet?

Here the last thing I have the support written:

Dear support-team!
I am writing regarding to your answer concerning my computer, that has
never come to me.
I have already written with the BackerKit service. They have told me to
contact your support.
Because it is obviously, that there are some issues with sending my
computer to me, I am asking you for my money.
Yours faithfully.
Andreas

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!
