Well my pine 64 finally arrived.

No case but that can totally wait, got the wifi adapter as well. Overall pretty happy. Board looks pretty slick, bigger than i was expecting. 

Turns out my pc and card reader don't like that phoenix software for burning images to the micro sd cards. And then my card reader would not support my 64gb micro sd card (pain in the ***). But i found a spare 8gb micro sd.

Used another program, win 32 disk image thingey. Got the rooted android 5.1.1 on it. Had kodi downloaded before on a spare flash drive.

Fired it in the thing, plugged in, it booted up. Android ran pretty not bad, its slower than i was expecting, but i have faith in future updates we got some nice hardware acceleration and some tweaking and were totally golden.

So i installed kodi and ran the fusion addon installed, been watching supernatural for hours. Hard to do a reboot at one point, the screen was jerking around like up and down, even out of kodi, i presume i found a little glitch there.

But overall. I have seen so many people complain about the board, so i thought i should say something nice. It took a little while to arrive. So what ive had kickstarters take over a year before. The software is in no way polished. It will come dont worry. Hopefully it brings my plastic case too , but it suits my needs. Its replacing the amazon fire tv stick. Which runs like dog **** with kodi.

So overall, love it. And it can only get better : thanks guys, good job.

Hello, i have used my pine with the tv and it works perfectly. However, i wanted to use with an old screen if a cpu and i bought  a hdmi-vga cable but when i connect all, in the screen it says format video incorrect or something like that, i think the format of the screens is not  1080*1920 or 1280*720 is that a problem?

I have been tracking my package and it now says the destination is a completely different state than mine. Also, no activityon the tracking since May 2. What gives?

Hi All,

I bought the 7" LCD touch screen with my order.  I believe I have connected it correctly, when I power on the pine board the screen does not turn on.

The HDMI port is working and I was able to boot into Ubuntu, so the board itself is working.

Any ideas what it might be?  Maybe the screen is DOA....

   

Hey, what is going on with this order?  It's order
#102332046.  It seems to be stuck in purgatory.  The only update is 'Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS'

Can anyone please -based on this image http://wiki.pine64.org/images/7/7d/Pine6...nector.png - map the exact pins used to power the board as well as those 2 that provide 5V? 

Sorry if I've missed it but I couldn't find more info.

Hello forum.

I am running debian on a pine64 (2GB) and i want to access a device on the i2c-bus.

While two busses show up (/dev/i2c-0 and i2c-1) i can not see my device using i2cdetect.

I tried "modprobe i2c-dev" but it does not show up in lsmod after that. Usually there also has to be a kernel module for the processor (i2c_bcm2xxx) that is loaded before i2c-dev, but i can't find it. Is it implemented yet for the cortex 53?


Does anyone have ideas what i could try next? Afaik a change in the /boot/config has to be made for the raspberry pi3. Is there maybe a similar change neccessary for the pine?

Hi,

I received my shipment tracking info last week, only... upon checking now:

one shipment is en-route, jippie! 
one shipment tracking id says: expired?! 

What does that mean?

Thanks for any (fast) replies.

Preface: Running A64+ 2GB board with a 16GB Sandisk class 10 card running Android Rooted 5.1.1 2016/05/05 release found here.

How does one enable ethernet within android? I can get the wifi working just fine however I can't seem to find any options to enable/configure ethernet within the OS.

The only thing close I can find is under data usage you can track data over ethernet, however every time I click it the settings panel crashes.

I've tried using both in 1Gbps and 100mbps mode (by using a switch, verified to be working at 100mbps with other hardware) and the Ethernet just won't work. 

Anyone had any luck getting the ethernet working within android on this board?

Hey all, question for you.  I have my Pine up and running with Ubuntu and the Mate GUI.  I'm trying to install some 3rd party encryption, specifically Veracrypt at this point and I'm having some difficulty.  I have a basic working knowledge of Linux, but am still quite a noob when it comes to anything other than the basics so please bear with me.

I have installed the software manually (apt-get failed to install it) and it appears to have installed, but when I run it, nothing happens.  If I attempt to run it from the terminal, I get a syntax error (

I guess my first question is will Veracrypt run on Mate?  And if so, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks
