  Part delivery
Posted by: Trotski - 06-23-2016, 03:02 AM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (2)

ok so my Kickstarter pledge was as follows:-

1  64GB MicroSD Android
1  7" LCD Touch Screen
1  PINE64 International 5V Power Supply
1  802.11BGN Wifi/ BT4.0 Module
1  PlayBox Kit
1  PINE A64+ 2GB

Yesterday I actually got the screen, the pine A64, the power supply and a lose switch, with a slip of paper telling me that the playbox will be sent later, who should I contact regarding the other missing items, the wifi module and the SD card?
If it helps my backer number is 14,091

Question HDMI Input
Posted by: sank - 06-22-2016, 03:13 PM - Forum: Pine A64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - Replies (4)

I have a camcorder which provides HDMI output. I want to input this video feed to pine and run an image processing on it. So I want to know if there is a way I can input an HDMI video to the pine board and process the video feed. I was also wondering if the HDMI port provided in the pine board can also function as HDMI input.

  Tracking Help
Posted by: mgilbert65 - 06-22-2016, 06:02 AM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (2)

Shipped On 05/27/2016
LS888446843CN

Will be a month next week.  No packages received to date.  Tracking number not valid.  As I understand it, there was an issue with the postal service in China not scanning the packages.   This leaves the door open to all kinds of dishonesty.  I'm holding out hope though.   If anyone out there is listening, an update would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark


  First impressions and feedback on my Pine64 experience
Posted by: MacFizz - 06-22-2016, 03:13 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (12)

Hey
Just wanted to give some feedback on my pine64 experience if it can help anybody.
I ordered 2 Pine64 board, a 1GB and a 2GB.
I didn't experience any problem regarding delivery and delays (I did receive the notification of shipment a week after actually receiving the parcell).

My configuration is:

  • Rpi B running openelec (Kodi). Runs smooth with HDMI CEC (using my TV remote), but some limitations apply (no HEVC, limited choice of skins, slow interface)
  • Rpi B+ running raspian with mpd, transmission, squid, DHCP server, MySQL server (it's crowded and might not be always very responsive)
My goal would be to have:
  • Rpi B running Volumio or straight mpd
  • Rpi B+ running raspian with squid, DHCP server
  • 1 GB Pine64 running kodi (ontop of whatever might work)
  • 2 GB Pine64 running http server, owncloud, MySQL server, acting as a NAS
  • Odroid C2 with XRDP for a remote workstation
First off, for a media center comparable to the Rpi running openelec, Pine64 is a no go. Kodi on Android is slow and unstable (no CEC). Kodi on linux is unusable. Videos will play but as there is no 3D support for now, UI is extremely slow. And also no CEC.

For the other Pine, I planned to use Ubuntu but after several attempts, I installed Debian that seems to be more stable and all the packages (especially MySQL, PHPmyadmin) install and work fine.

So for me and for now there a few things to know:
  • for a nice media center, Pine64 is useless (no 3D HW accel, no CEC)
  • the arm64 is still young, so some things might not work out of the box (LXDE, Xubuntu-desktop are buggy for now).
  • Better try several different OSs depending of what you want to do with your board. Many different linux are available and there's also Android and RemixOS
  • Some problems are not specific to the Pine64 but are arm64 or distribution specific
For many things we'll have to wait a bit and for others, I wonder if it's going to happen at all (HDMI CEC).

So, here it is.
Any thoughts ?


  Android web browsers = horrible
Posted by: blktiger - 06-21-2016, 11:10 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - No Replies

The native browser and Chrome are just BAD. Pop ups everywhere, java script running wild. I tried to install Firefox from Google Play, it failed. I searched for a downloadable version of Firefox I found an .apk file. It installed perfectly. Then I added NoScript and Adblock. SO much better.

Super slow download but well worth the wait:

  Boot up issue...
Posted by: shadow22 - 06-21-2016, 09:52 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (9)

So just got my pine. Pretty pumped to finally get it! But having an issue. I got the 512 board with the power cable and sd card with Android on it. Did the first boot up and left for an hour. Initially I had evening plugged in(usb and Ethernet) but I didn't know I wasn't supposed to, Before reading up on that issue I just formatted the sd card and put the Android dd on the sd card with that win32 program (on my phone at work.). While it was writing the dd i read up on some issues and saw that you should do first run 26th just hdmi and power. So after the dd finished writing i put it back in the pine and booted it up again. This time with nothing but the hdmi. The Android logo is all fuzzy and that's as far as I get. I left it for 4 hours and nothing changed. I than tried Phoenix and wrote it as start up and same thing. Occasionally I'll get a white screen for sec but than just a fuzzy square. I'm using the images off the wiki and my tv can do 1080@60hz.

Any help would be great. Thank you

I'm amazed this isn't in the Wiki, but what type of batteries are used for the RTC battery dongle?
