Will the Wifi/bluetooth module provide both wifi and bluetooth at the same time or is it just one or the other?
Also, is there something I can use in the meantime until the store officially opens up?

Hi, my screen displays image at 1440x900 max but my pine outputs Full HD. I know that it's not a problem because my Raspberry Pi (first one, model B) on the same converter adapts the output to my display resolution. Is there any way to fix it on my pine?

Ok quick guide with some of the basics. I am using longlseeps kernel on debian.
First make sure you have his latest kernel. To check you can issue;
at a command prompt. If you dont see the kernel version in the subject of this post or higher then run the magic;
Code: bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_uboot.sh)
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_kernel.sh)
Ok once you have the latest kernel, power down the pine, insert your USB device and power up.
Once you are able to login you should see if the device was detected either
should show you some basic info on your device. If you see it, great lets move on to the next step.
Now try;
if for wlan0 you see anything other than;
Code: wlan0 no wireless extensions.
Next I will show you the changes I made to my /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Ok /etc/network/interfaces first, I added this to the existing file
Code: auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface pine64 inet static
address 192.168.0.165
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
You can see I manually set the IP of my pine. You can do it with DHCP instead
Code: auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface pine64 inet dhcp
Note the change from wpa-roam to wpa-conf not sure why, but it works.
In the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf I have this;
Code: network={
ssid="dd-wrt_vap"
psk="1234567890"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
auth_alg=OPEN
priority=9
id_str="pine64"
}
After you have made the changes you can issue
If it works, you are in business. If not, for giggles reboot. If its still not working then please note any issues and ask away.
A few things to note. If you leave eth0 set to auto and dhcp your pine may pause while it tries to connect there first it seems.
If your wifi adapter is a ra-link then you will probably need to dl the firmware, google is the best bet for finding the right instructions for this part. In my case I had to enable non free sources for debian as well.
As always I am not an expert, merely worked in IS for 23 years and am an enthusiast. I am open to questions suggestions and critique.
One last thing, thanks again to longsleep others for their hard work!
Some Iperf numbers since I know some may wonder, YMMV!
Code: root@debianpine64:~# iperf -c 192.168.0.45

| Startx Error |

Hi,
I just installed Longsleeps base Ubuntu image and and then used the included script to install Mate desktop. All went smoothly. I now want to use Mate to configure Wifi.
I run StartX and the first problem I ran into was
Code: (EE) parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)
I think that that was due to the fact that I needed to run startx as root. (I included that example in case someone searches the forum.) Anyway, I then ran "sudo startx" and then the system hands with the following error messages.
Code: modprobe: FATAL: Module g2d_23 not found in directory /lib/modules/3.10.65-7-pine64-longsleep
modprobe: FATAL: Module mali_drm not found in directory /lib/modules/3.10.65-7-pine64-longsleep
modprobe: FATAL: Module sunxi_cedar_mod not found in directory /lib/modules/3.10.65-7-pine64-longsleep
SunxiMaliDRI2_Init: drmOpen failed!
So this brings me to my questions. Did I do something wrong? Is there something I can do to fix this?
Finally, is there a simple way to configure wireless via the CLI? That is my first goal because I am running this headless.
Thank you!

| Howto run Linux with resolution other than 1080p |

Many people seem to have issues with the fixed 1920x1060@60Hz resolution i ship my U-Boot and Linux images with. Until now you needed to be a developer to change the resultion to anything else.
This has now changed.
I created a tool which can change the resolution. Say hello to sunxi-disp-tool.
I provide a binary package for Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus (arm64) in my Ubuntu Pine64 Makers PPA.
If you do not run my Ubuntu Xenial image it is now a good time to change that. See the Ubunu 16.04 Xenial Xerus thread for download and instructions.
Other than the tool itself, you need:
- U-Boot v2014.07-4-pine64 or later
- Kernel 3.10.101-0-pine64-longsleep-39 or later
I will eventually release an updated Xenial image which has those - for now update as usual (as root) with:
Code: bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_uboot.sh)
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_kernel.sh)
Then you can just add the desired resolution to /boot/uEnv.txt (eg. as optargs). By default the sunxi-disp-tool looks for a Kernel parameter called disp.screen0_output_mode to be in line with other sunxi boards.
Quick instructions for 720p60 (1280x720p@60Hz):
Code: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sunxi-disp-tool
cat <<EOF | sudo tee -a /boot/uEnv.txt
optargs=disp.screen0_output_mode=720p60
EOF
sudo reboot
For a list of supported resolutions see README.md.
I will work on other distributions as well, but you need to install it manually and integrate it manually into the boot system. I strongly advice to use my Ubuntu image.
Your feedback is most welcome.

You invest your money in a car that you say it works everything, including brakes, knowing that they have not proven manufacturers?.
So difficult was to test the connection to the network, with a minimum operating system.
They do not respond because manufacturers and designers, and tell the truth, they screwed up and do not know how to solve the monumental failure of the plates 2GB.
I'm disillusioned and fustrado after investing in the project pine64 kickstarter and ignore users.
A greeting.

Hi everyone. Could you tell me how can I connect i2c device to pine64 under Remix OS. I plugged pins to pi-2 connector of pine64
Vin -> Pin1 (Vdd)
GND -> Pin6 (Gnd)
SDA -> Pin3 (SDA)
SCL -> Pin5 (SCL)
Wrote some app on Android to detect I2C device, it shows no devices, moreover my i2c device has led which is on when the vdd is plugged, i see that led is off.
I've attached the picture where you can see how my device plugged and its state (led is off)

Hello all!
I currently use JACK/Ardour for recording via a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB A to D box on my desktop/laptop. There is no ARM version of Ardour, but I would LOVE a fanless portable linux box to record multiple tracks.
Are there any recommendations out there for me to use to put my PINE 64 and Focusrite to work as a portable audio recorder/editor?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have a pine64 1gb. It works well... but the network card link light (green) blink. Is it a known bug in the driver or a problem with the card itself?
