Yesterday, I was overcome with excitement that my pine64 finally arrived.  As soon as I was done work for the day, I went on to install linux on the system.

Well, it wasn't as easy as it should have been.  Firstly, at my own fault, I was using `dd` from mac, and it wasn't writing the disk image properly, so I switched to my windows machine and used win32 disk imager, and finally had my SD card ready.  Just as a note, I am using the debian build.

My wife and I recently picked up a used 1080p tv, and it's set up but currently not in use, so I decided I'd use that as my test monitor until I figured out how to get the touch screen working (by the way, does anyone have some hardware install instructions for the 7 inch touch screen?  I'm not super familiar with this type of connector).

Well, the screen flickered and it looked like we were ready to go.  The boot text went scrolling by, and then my TV just went blank.  The power was still on, but nothing.  I decided I'd give it another few moments, since it was first boot.  Nothing.  So I plugged in my usb keyboard, and did Ctrl+Alt+F2 to try and get to a terminal screen.  Nothing.  So I thought this could be the TV, so I unplug the HDMI from the tv.  Well, the TV remains completely blank, and doesn't revert back to the "no signal" display.

The culmination of all these events left me a little spent, so I just decided to unplug everything and I'd take a look this morning before I dug into work today.

Today, I hook everything back up, and now I don't get a red power light on the pine64 when I try and boot it up.  I turned on the TV, and it has decided to revert back to working, so I plug in the Pine64, and it immediately goes black again.

So, now I don't know if it's even booting up since there is no LED indications on the board (or on my keyboard when I plug it in ie caps/num/scroll lock don't produce lights).  What's going on?  Is my Pine64 broken after my first attempt on getting it up and running?

A number of people have reported getting a 'script not found' error when trying to use PhoenixCard. This is because you are trying to burn an image that is not compatible with the PhoenixCard application (i.e. a 'dd' image).

On the Software/Image Download section of the Pine64 wiki, there are many images available, but only the images specifically labelled so are burnable with PhoenixCard.

The images labelled as being a 'DD image' are of a fixed size (typically 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB) and are intended for burning via the dd command in a terminal, with Win32DiskImager, or with Rufus or similar software (such as ApplePi Baker or Etcher on a Mac).

Hello,

My tracking is https://track.aftership.com/RI068189945CN
But I mistakenly put the wrong address.

I think it is still at China Post, any way to resend it back to me?

Hi all,

I'm trying to burn a bootable SD for my Pine, but Phoenixcard AND etcher are not able to burn the image to the SD. I don't have a clue where I'm missing something, but it's starting to get anoying  .

Best regards,
Mischa

I'm using the latest Debian Mate image from https://www.pine64.pro/downloads/, and my TV is unfortunately cropping a bit off the edge of the entire screen. Even more unfortunately, the display settings on the TV do not include an option that fixes it (just a few that make it worse).

When I had this problem with my RPi, I went into raspi-config and set the overscan value and it was fixed right away. I've now spent a few hours trying to scour the internet for a solution to this, all to no avail. Most seem to suggest using xrandr, but that doesn't appear to be an option either (unless I'm missing something), since it gives me this output, and won't let me set any properties for the monitor:

Well, I use Andoid 20160303 build with Kodi on old 64Gb card. Today I received new 16Gb UHS-I card. I would like to copy everything to new card. What can be an easiest way to do it?

Hi Guys

Yesterday, I received my Pine 2GB (yay ).

Yesterday, I wasted around 4 hours trying to burn the newest Android image via PhoenixCard (not yay ).

No matter what I did, no matter how I formatted the card beforehand, no matter what order I tried the steps in; error at some point in the write process. Tried two different cards (both known good cards, both Sandisk Ultras), one 32GB that I use in a GoPro and one 16GB that I bought for the Pine. I also tried using a USB Micro adaptor, and also a dedicated card reader.

After 4 hours, I gave up. All the more frustrating because about a month ago, I successfully wrote an earlier Android image to the same card. The only reason I deleted that image was to update to the newest version.

No problem, I thought. Today I'll write the DD image with Win32 Disk Imager instead! Duly downloaded and unzipped. Opened Win32 Disk Imager and got the attached error message. Also tried Rufus with a similar error.

Please help.
