I have a two wire battery and I tried connecting it to the board on pin one and the but it seems not to work.  According to the silk screen, and schematic that is correct. The schematic has a note however that I don't understand
 "If do not use temp. Measure feature. Place OR."  I am not sure what this means or what OR  Is referring to, seems that I need to do something but I'm not sure what... Any ideas?

sometimes, my pine64 shows the startup screen for several minutes on startup, and then indicates that it is optimizing apps.
does this mean that the pine has done automatic  firmware / android updates or what's the reason for this behaviour?

Hi,

I want to bring pine64 to a "standby" mode. In this mode I want to disable three cpu cores, decrease the frequency of cpu0, unload drivers, disable HDMI. The only thing I want to keep active in this mode is the bluetooth module.

I'm thinking to use the command below to disable cpu cores:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/online

Can someone help me on how can I achieve this standby mode? E.g. how can I disable/enable the HDMI?

Thx a lot...

Does Android support WiFi USB Dongles? If not, they will be supported in future?

Hello, 

I'm just the messenger of the encountered issue - it was brought to by attention by Arffeh, who asked me to create this post. From what he wrote to me it transpires that a drained or partially drained battery can can cause a failed boot  even if the board is connected to the mains. 

He wrote:
"A completely dead lipo when connected, with the jumper correctly set, causes a failure to boot when correct power is applied (...). I'm talking about using actual normal power, with the battery just chilling out (...) Shouldn't cause a full failure to boot, but yeah. The battery is able to affect the 2.1 amp input (...) [I] plucked the battery and reapplied power [and it boot correctly]". 

Has anyone else encountered a similar problem or has a suggestion of how to resolve this ? 

Cheers

Hello all

I bought my Pine64+ to create a media centre and replace my PopcornHour A210 which had sadly died. TL Lim very kindly replaced the motherboard on my PopcornHour kinda negating my need for the Pine.

The Pine is a great board, but is not quite ready in software terms (IMHO) to be a dedicated media player just yet. Certainly not capable of replacing my A210. I think it will be a great media centre in the future, just not yet.

As you can see from the photos, the board is tested and working (I've had Android, Remix OS & Debian running on it (thanks to all the devs on here who've made that possible). 

Included in the sale:

• Pine64+ 2GB board
  
• Battery backup module
  
• BT/WiFi module (fitted to the mainboard)
  
• Official Pine64 mains adaptor (UK plus international fittings)
  
• Acrylic case (I added fluffy pads to the metal feet which could be removed)
  

Hi i got the stock LCD android image working and i was wondering how i would root it

Before I get comments saying that kickstarter is an investment platform yada yada yada,  Ill point out I didn't pledge through kickstarter, I went to pine64.com and clicked buy now like any other retail pre-order Item as the site promoted it as such an item.  I know the team are busy with orders etc,  but how am I sposed to know the status of my order.
I ordered and was charged at beginning of feb and at this stage I have no pledge info, no survey to fill out and as of yet have received no email saying there were delays, although I see on here that orders are taking longer.  I have no problem with them being busy but would like to be informed.  All I have to go off is a trycelery invoice that states my order is open and my fulfilment is unfulfilled ??

I would have thought when they start selling on site as a pre-order item that there would be a way to check order status??

cheers

Hi guys im wondering if the Raspberry pi 2 camera will work on the CSI port and work with android as i was thinking of getting the camera

Hello guys,
Before I'll buy Pine 64 I need to know if Horizon GO (from Liberty Global) is working on it.
Because some newer chips from Amlogic isn't supported by that app it shows error 6667.
