So my Pine64 2g board of course arrived without the play box I ordered with my pledge. Been able to play around with it just sitting on the desk, everything works good. Since I have no idea IF or WHEN the playbox will arrive, I've been digging around the house for something to use as a sort of case enclosure. Have found a couple of unique plastic boxes that would work, but the ribbon cables for the TP won't be long enough. Can of course just use the hdmi, but if I could find some ribbon cable extensions for the TP I'd be able to hook that up as well.

Anybody know where I could find ribbon cable extensions? just need to extend them 2 or 3 inches....

Sorry posted in other forum then saw this shipping forum which is probably better placed
My package arrived today minus the Z-Wave module - now I think there were some issues with this so not sure if they have shipped the main pledge separately from the z-wave to get stuff out.

Unfortunately they haven't actually said that in the envelope just a little paper slip would have done - now I'm not sure if it was a mistake at shipping or lack of availability.

My backer number is 36141 so I realize I'm at the back of the queue so to speak but just seeking some clarification.

Also the wifi module shipped with a european/us plug is that by design - is their a UK adapter for the PSU? If not I'm sure I can locate a suitable alternative PSU.

Thanks for delivering on what looks to be a great project - just looking forward to getting the z-wave so I can get on with openHab.

Thanks, Paul.

Hi First post here - I'd forgotten a little about the pledge - was pleasantly surprised to see it come through as I had seen they were having shipping/distribution issues.
Haven't felt the need to chase - my assumption was they were to use a cliche a victim of their own success.

After repeated attempts I have been unable to create an SD card for my PINE64

Pheonix card gives some weird error, So tried WindiskImager it fails.... Pulling my hair out. 

Using Windows 10 PCs

FYI I have been able to create bootable cards for multiple Pi's, PCDuino's and others without a problem

hi all .

i usually use hard disk as root .
i think   hard disk is more tough than sd card  and the space of it is over 250GB or more .

for example banana pi M1 , root is /dev/sda1

For some reason my pine is booting to the following:

press enter for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):

I am using "xubuntu-xenial-mate-20160528-longsleep-pine64-8GB "

I thought that maybe it could be a runlevel problem, but I cannot find /etc/inittab  and I tried using init 2, but it does not work.

I also tried fsck -y , but the system is mounted, and I dont dont know what I can and cannot unmount :/

Please help. I dont want to reconfigure the whole system again :/

I bought Pine64 because the manufacturer had promised support for 4K Ultra HD. I ask, where is it?

i made hand made enclosure .

i use alminium cap ( for example drink's alminium cap  )  over copper heat sink
for radiating heat .





wood is easy to treat , and I hole acryl plate by small drill for metal and then bigger drill for metall .

if all plates are made by wood , the cost is cheaper ,
but the upper plate should be made by acryl plate at the point of it's beautifulness .
