Return of faulty board |

Board I got is faulty somehow.
I tried every single image, tried phynix, winimage, DD on linux every single way on multiple SD cards (2GB, 4GB, up to 16 and even 32GB - more than 10 different SD cards)
No luck at all...
Sometimes I can see for bries second starting up logo (penguin with moving txt on screen) then dissapears and nothing else. Even red light goes down.
I have enough of "fun" and I would like to replace board with the working one or return for full refund.
I've send email to support but no answer at all...
I understand guys are busy but if success of the board is too much for you to handle maybe its time to find someone that would do that for you.

Hi got my pine board and am trying at the moment to find an image of Remix OS that will unzip properly on my Mac and load onto the SD card i have. While i am waiting I was wondering if this was the best OS for the total newbie or would anyone out there have other suggestions? Hope I'm not shouting into an empty room.

Adding of WiFi/BT board causing reboots |

After reading all the hell people were going through getting their boards up, I decided to keep it simple and focused on getting my A64+ booting RemixOS without any additional modules. Just Ethernet, HDMI and power. I didn't even solder on the power and reset buttons yet. After a few hours of close reading of the forums (the wiki is next to useless), I was able to get RemixOS up and running. Hooray!
I opened a bunch of apps, watched a movie via Netflix and all seemed to be going well.
Then I tried to install a 4K video player from the Play Store and it failed claiming I wasn't authorized. On a hunch, I thought it might be related to the lack of location data, so then I tried installing the Pine WiFi/BT module and trouble started.
Predictably, there are zero instructions, but it seemed simple enough given it really only fits one way. So I popped the W/BT board on the header pins and plugged in the power. The Pine A64 logo immediately appeared on the screen and about 5 seconds later, the screen lost sync, went black, before the Pine logo appeared again. And again. And again. It loops indefinitely...
Anyone have a work around for this?
Thanks,
MMB

Debian Video Performance/"Driver" Install |

So basically I've installed the debian image form the downloads page of the pine64 website, and everything went perfectly. Only problem I have is that video performance is horrible. (lagging animations, choppy youtube video, downloaded video files won't open, etc) Pretty sure I need to install a codec to play the video files - haven't gotten around to installing the codecs or VLC. I'm assuming there's a driver I need to install for the gpu. I tried installing one, and got confused (kinda new to this), so any help is greatly appreciated

How to set HDMI output to less than 720p? |

Hi all, totally new here at the forum so bear with me !
I am so far very pleased with the Pine 64 but I have plans of hooking it up to an old TV through a HDMI to VGA converter. The problem is that the TV does not (of course) support 720p.
So I am looking for some way of setting the HDMI output to, say, 800x600 or less? I have read posts about the build.prop file but no examples on actually doing this!
Could someone please help me out or maybe explain why this is possible / not possible?
Thanks !

longsleep installed headers for dkms usage |

I tried to build the realtek bluetooth driver by checking out the github for my version and applying the config.gz before running make modules and it still thinks the version is different. Can you supply a kernel headers tarball for use with dkms?
I have fixed up the Makefile (I think) and created a dkms.conf file to allow for automatic module compilation but it complains about symbol versions not being identical.
Code: ubuntu@fjords:~$ cat /usr/src/rtk_btusb-v0.8/Makefile
FW_DIR := /lib/firmware/rtk_bt
MDL_DIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)
DRV_DIR := $(MDL_DIR)/kernel/drivers/bluetooth
ifneq ($(KERNELRELEASE),)
obj-m := rtk_btusb.o
KVER := $(KERNELRELEASE)
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(KVER)/build
else
PWD := $(shell pwd)
KVER := $(shell uname -r)
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(KVER)/build
endif
all:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
rm -rf *.o *.mod.c *.mod.o *.ko *.symvers *.order *.a
install:
mkdir -p $(FW_DIR)
cp -f rlt8723a_chip_b_cut_bt40_fw_asic_rom_patch-svn8511-0x0020342E-20121105-LINUX_USB.bin $(FW_DIR)/rtk8723a.bin
cp -f rtl8723a_config.bin $(FW_DIR)/.
cp -f rtk_btusb.ko $(DRV_DIR)/rtk_btusb.ko
depmod -a $(KVER)
@echo "install rtk_btusb success!"
uninstall:
rm -f $(DRV_DIR)/rtk_btusb.ko
dumped -a $(KVER)
rm -f $(FW_DIR)/rtk8723a.bin
echo "uninstall rtk_btusb success!"
ubuntu@fjords:~$ cat /usr/src/rtk_btusb-v0.8/dkms.conf
MAKE="make all
INCLUDEDIR=/lib/modules/$kernelver/build/include"
MAKE_smp="make SMP=1 all
INCLUDEDIR=/lib/modules/$kernelver/build/include"
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION="/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/rtk_btusb"
PACKAGE_NAME="rtk_btusb"
PACKAGE_VERSION="v0.8"
REMAKE_INITRD="no"
MODULE_NAME="rtk_btusb.o"
CLEAN="make clean"
Of course I might just be using the wrong driver for the Pine64, I was basing it off the wlan driver.

Hi guys, I got the 512 and added on the 7" touch screen. I do not see a way to connect the two. I see a couple places where there should be connectors for this screen but there isnt one. Does the 512 not support the screen? I dont remember seeing anything when I selected my rewards that said the two wont work together.
Thanks!

HDMI to DVI Color issues? |

I recently received my 64+ board and have loaded Debian on it successfully using an HDMI cable to my TV.
I then tried the same HDMI cable connected to an HDMI to DVI Adapter to my computer monitor and while I can operate the system, it has a purple/pink tint to the entire screen.
I've tried various cables with same result. I tried the DVI connector with same HDMI cable on another system (lattepanda windows board) and it worked fine (no tint).
Is there a setting or something I need to set on this board to get it to work properly via a DVI connector?
Any help is appreciated.
THANKS
