What I have:
The pine A64 board.
LCD Touch Screen
San Disk 32gb microSD card
Power = 2.4AMP

I tried all the pins, and the LCD just stays white. The pine board works fine with hdmi.

Do I not have enough power to power the LCD or is it something else?

I have also booted Android 5.1.1 at least once.

I was trying to attach my power button but I noticed the holes where you are supposed to put the power button in were filled. I tried soldering the button on the side, where 2 pins on top of the board reach their desired area, and the other 2 pins reach their desired area on the bottom of the board; how however, it does not work. I have seen pictures of what I think it is supposed to look like, but that was not possible with my board. Thanks!

Hello everyone

I'd like to welcome you all to take part in a trivia challenge event that will take place on June 5th 20.00 CET over at our IRC channel (can also be accessed via this link). The winner will receive a 1GB Pine64  2GB Pine64 with a BT/WIFI module (thanks to tllim!)*. I know that the hour isn't ideal for everyone - especially for you fine folks in the Eastern hemisphere (Asia /Australia)** - I am sorry about this, I am trying to accommodate as many people as possible.  As for the questions asked, they obviously have to remain a mystery, but suffice to say that if you know your computer stuff then you stand a good chance of winning. 

I hope that this event will be fun for everyone and that many of you will stick around afterwards to chat about your ongoing pine projects. Consider this a virtual pine64 get-together party (NB bring your own beer). 

The IRC channel is there for the entire community, and while socialising and casual chatting are the main reasons for its existence,  it also serves as a live-troubleshooting channel. So if you experience issues with your Pine64, and would like additional help after reading though/posting on the forums, do join in and we will try to help you out*** 

The IRC channel is accessible via the forum top bar, pine64.xyz as well as Lenny's site (which you really should check out as it is full of Pine64 resources). You can, of course, use your IRC client of choice to join in as well; take a look here for complete instructions on how to join.

Hope to see you there on June 5th. 

Take care and good luck with your Pine64 projects!

* If you win just PM me your details and I will buy a 1GB board from the store and ship it to your address I will forward your shipping infor to tllim  
** if there will be enough interest in this sort of community event then I will organise another one and we can settle on a date and time that would suit more people
*** don't get discouraged if we don't answer straight away - while there are usually ~20 of us online, most of us are occupied. It may take a little while before we get back to you so stay put and have some patience.

Hey guys,
spending a good whole day on my Pine board (1G) finally got it working, and just realised this board doesn't like HDMI-DVI connection, obviously other users had the same issue, however, they were so many other parameters to be considered, that's why it took so long to get to this point...anyways, I personally prefer to use this board with my monitor instead of a 40-something inches TV, and my monitor doesn't have any HDMI port, I really wanna see some sort of fix or something, I'll be appreciate if someone could keep me posted on this,
Cheers
Amin

I notice the last KS update was 3 weeks ago, and said store orders were expected to ship late May, early June...but all KS orders will be fulfilled first.  I was backer 13,893 and pledged back in Dec/Jan for the 2Gb IoT package, and have been patiently waiting.  2 Weeks ago, backerkit locked down my info and has been "Ready to Ship" since.  

I ordered the 2GB IoT package, along with the PoE Splitter and RTC Battery, and to my understanding, all add-ons are in stock now.  Is this true of the ABS Enclosure, or is that still having delays?  I'm in the USA, FYI.

I'm fine waiting, but I would just love to know if I will actually see my board come before the end of the month.

I'm using longsleep's latest kernel (as of 5/22), and wondering how I can check if SDL and/or SFML are using the GPU.
I'm drawing three 300x300 sprites, and rotating 2 of them.

This takes 94% of the CPU, and only updates around 1 fps.
I've tried both SDL and SFML, with similar results.
If the GPU were being utilized, I'd think the performance would be much better.

One clue I've found is that SFML complains that "setting vertical sync" is not supported.

Any ideas on:
- how I can check if the GPU is being used?
- how to enable if it's not?

Thanks for your support

Why i can't access pine64 with adb like other android devices?

Hi

I'm trying to get the audio out from the analog headphone jack instead of HDMI audio but the Android OS (vers 5.1.1 20160505) doesn't seem to detect any 3.5mm I've plugged in. I've tried it different earbuds but with no success. I've also tested with both the phoenix image and the dd images available for download from the wiki. 

Another issue I'm facing is the Pine64 5M pixel camera module. According to this thread posted earlier, it mentioned that android would have been able to detect the camera module automatically. With the camera module connected, the camera app shows up black and then goes back to the home screen. Without the module connected, the app would prompt a "camera has stopped" message. I've inserted the camera module with the metal contacts on the flex cable facing the board (downwards). 

How could I go on to troubleshoot both issues?

Setup:
Pine64+ 2GB board
Sandisk UHS-I Class 10 32GB
The headphone jack is working as I've tried it with the Debian OS with modifications done to enable the analog jack.
I am using a 2mA power supply connected through the micro usb.
Ethernet and wifi/bt module were both connected. 

Thanks in advance! 

Hello all!

While I'm quite an experienced programmer in certain regards, I've never dabbled in the world of SOC's, Linux IO.

My main programming environment is Delphi, and by extension Lazarus.

I have piddled with the Pi in the past, but, actually programming on it is atrocious as running Lazarus on it is slower than molasses uphill in January. I installed Lazarus on the Ubuntu image and it was reasonably quick and quite functional.

Now, the part that I'm really interested in is GPIO. There is a lot of stuff that I can use in Lazarus for GPIO on the Pi, but I don't know what to do with the Pine.

I'm afraid I'm not experienced enough to make my own Libraries/Units for GPIO on this.

Is anyone else working on this? I don't mind learning how this works so I can help write units.

I was really hoping that it wouldn't come to this, but Pine, I want my money back.


• I made payment on 10th March.

• Since that time your communication has been minimal. I have received your general updates that you've sent to Kickstarter backers, but nothing specific to me or my order.

• On 4th May I emailed you directly asking for more information on when I could expect my order. After receiving no response after a couple of days I asked if it was possible to cancel my order. I finally received a response on the 9th of May saying that there had been a "slight delay in orders shipping out" and my order "will be in a batch that will begin shipping out in about 3-4 weeks", and a follow-up to this on the 10th of May stating simply "at this stage we cannot cancel your order and issue a refund", and apologising for the inconvenience.

• I responded to this refusal to cancel my order immediately, outlining my position and requesting further information. At the time of writing this forum post, 12 days later, I have yet to receive a response or this fabled shipping notification.

• 74 days after I issued payment, I have not received any concrete delivery information, and my emails to your support representatives are apparently being ignored.


Let me make this clear. You have not provided me with adequate information or justification for why I have not received something I paid for two-and-a-half months ago, but you have refused to cancel my order and provide me with a refund. I do not regard this as acceptable. If I do not hear from you by Wednesday I will instruct my bank to recover my money from you.
