Let me preface this by saying I am a newbie so if I'm missing something easy here or my attempted solutions don't make sense, I apologize in advance.

I am trying to hook up a TP-Link TL-WN725N Wifi USB to my Pine64.  I attempted to download the driver I need but cannot run a `make all` on it.  It looks like the driver I need is rtl8188eu which I got here:

https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu

Looking into the error I get:

"No rule to make target `modules'. Stop."

when trying to run make all it appears to be because i need to run 

"apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" but this command won't work for Longsleep's custom Kernel build.

Perhaps I can try running "apt-get install linux-headers-generic"

I can see in the kernel drivers (/lib/modules/xxxx/kernel/net/wireless) on the OS there are many drivers installed, closes to what I need being rtl8187.

I have three ideas for solutions but am looking for some guidance/suggestions.

My ideas are:

1) get a wifi dongle that works with one of the installed drivers OR
2) try "apt-get install linux-headers-generic" and run "make all" again OR
3) compile the driver on a VM on my Mac and copy it over to the pine64 (I have no idea if that would work at all but though, why not try)

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

I just downloaded this image as I have 32GB SD card. I burned it on my Mac using the following

Anyone know if there is a USB Ethernet device that is supported by Pine64/Debian?  I am looking to setup a firewall/router with mine, and would like to have 2 actual ethernet ports as opposed to using one port and setting up VLANs.  Thanks....

Got the Pine64 (2 gig version) for my son to learn programming. Also got touch screen, camera, humidity control, wifi, bluetooth, light sensor. No idea of what he should build but wanted to be ready for almost anything. What OS would be good as a fairly easy OS to program with? And any ideas on what to build?

Thanks!

Hello 


     I made an order many months ago , and I got fed up of waiting. I emailed the ladies and gentlemen who work at Pine64 four times already, and yet I was not graced with a single response. I shall include my emails :

Hello !

     I would like to cancel my order of the Pine64. I am tired of waiting to be honest. It has been months. If you require assistance in locating my order, please ask me any question you prefer.

   Thank you!
On June 8 I receive an email saying my Pine64 has been shipped...

I sent another email immeditely after I received the shipping notification :

Hello !

     Did you receive my email asking you to cancel my order? May I ask why was it shipped ?


   Thanks

I sent another :

Hello !

   I emailed you about cancelling a preorder, and noone bothered to email me. Today I get an email saying the pine64 was shipped out. May I ask , could you tell me what to do in this case ? I emailed you about the cancellation twice.



No response ...  May I ask whats going on ? All I want to do is cancel my order... You definately convinced me to get a Rasberry Pi 

The lack of resources about Pine64 on search engines was suddenly explained when I found out that both the forum and the wiki had their "robots.txt" files configured to forbid indexing:

I cannot get the display to display anything. I see it flicker when the pine is powered on and Pre-loaded works on my Tv via HDMi, just cannot get the 7" display to work. All connections are made with the exposed pinsfacing down and locking tabs released prior to install and locked after install.

Any ideas??

I have been meaning to give you an answer to your Acrylic Case mounting bolts question posed in KickStarter comments.

The coarse thread measures 7.8mm diameter across thread, 1.15mm thread pitch, there is 14mm of screw thread.
The supplied flat head is 4mm thick, 12.23mm diameter with no screwdriver slot or hole - just screwed in by hand.
The spacer/tubes only have a few mm of thread then open out to the full width and depth of the tube (less a few mm at the other end) so no limit to length of screw.
Tube outside diameter is 12mm.

I have the Remix OS on my Pine64.  Working ok.  I wanted to use the Pine64 remote with the OS.  The MOUSE button does not work the way it does in the Android OS.  Anyone have luck getting it to work?  Some buttons seem to work, but not the MOUSE Button to get a pointer.

I was wondering if any one has hooked up a controller to the pine via bluetooth?
