after having troubles with everything using network access, i tested network speed of my pine 64 2GB.
on a 50Mb/5Mb connection, which works fine for other devices, my pine cannot get more throughput than 440kb/3kb.
is this usual behaviour or is something wrong with my pine? (i'm running the android 20160505 8GB DD image)

Hey Guys,

I actually backed this Kickstarter last year and it didn't make its funding, but they went ahead with developing the OS. I managed to get the Androimium OS Beta to run on the latest Android image. Anyone else try this? 

Its in the Play Store, but wont install since it says Pine64 is not compatible. 

Here's the APK.

http://apk-dl.com/andromium-os

Check it out.

I ordered/pledged last December and my credit card was charged. I also confirmed my shipping address by answering the survey questions. But I have not yet received the shippment. My friend who also pledged same time  did receive his shippment. Any one knows their contact number?

I've hooked up my 1gb 64 board to my Tv through a three way HDMI adapter and an Android OS card. When it boots I either get an "out of range" error from the TV or I get a huge grey image of an analogue clock. Any ideas?

Hi all, 
I have just received my 2GB board. I tried this OS as first. All great (wifi module, keyboard)!! I have a fluid interface of the system but when I start Kodi it lags. 
In particular I have a very low reactivity of the mouse (that works great outside Kodi)

Is it a known issue? Can I solve it?

Thank in advance

I've tried New Ubuntu ML-Anderal 4-20-16.img and the xubuntu-xenial-20160502-longsleep-pine64.img so far.  I'm going to try android-rooted-ver5.1.1-20160505-pine64 next. 

I don't see where the kernel even sees the module.  I assume there is something that has to be added into the install for this.

I am  noob, so I might be overlooking something.

I ordered a Pine64 A+ 2gb ram version with a 7 inch lcd, I would like to prepare by purchasing/scavenging materials for my case.
This left me with a few questions;
What formfactor is the lcd?(Flat with overhanging glass, short/long ribbon cable?) 
Does it have a front plate? 
How does it mount?
Are there screw holes already on the lcd?
 

A 3D model or some pictureswith dimensions would help a lot.

P.S. Got my tracking number today,hence the post, finally the wait is coming to an end ^o^

Hi,

I'm looking for a freeware IDE and some instructions on how to create a simple and basic image of my own.

I'd like to control the GPIO pins and maybe experiment a bit with some UART communication.

I'm a hardware engineering student and have a bit of experience with MCUs. I just got my PINE last week, but had no luck in finding a proper tutorial or guide on how to fully control all the of the cool PINE features.

I saw that it may be possible using an eclipse based platform for ARM devices called DS-5, but once installed it didn't offer anything more than a empty editor and no explanations.

Any advice at all would be great!

Thanks!

DietPi for Pine A64: Give your Pine A64 some lightweight justice.
http://DietPi.com

DietPi for Pine A64 is currently based on longsleeps's excellent simpleImage (U-boot + BSP kernel) with Debian Jessie (arm64) debootstrap (according to these instructions: https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port#Debootstrap_arm64 ).  The DietPi also make use of longsleep's u-boot and kernel update scripts to keep in sync with his ongoing development work.

As we still have some issues to iron out with Kodi and VNC and the kernel is still in development, DietPi for Pine A64 is currently in Alpha. Please report all bugs/issues on these forums or via a Git Ticket: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues. 

ALPHA notes:

• DietPi will release updates and patches on a regular basis which can be applied by running dietpi-update. This will allow you to instantly patch your system without having to writing a new image each time.
  
• Kernel and U-Boot updates are automatically applied with dietpi-config and utilize longsleep's update scripts.
  
• All non-GPU related software appears fully functional in the DietPi-Software catalogue: http://dietpi.com/software. So server based installations should not experience any issues.
  

• Kodi: Not working at this time
  
• LXDE: Requires 16/24 bit to function (use 24bit for both LXDE and Kodi).
  
• BlueTooth: the bluetooth portion of the wifi/bluetooth board has not been tested yet.  This is on my ToDo list.

Hi.
I've needed to set it up so why not to write about it. 

Tested on Debian Linux Jessie with Mate GUI Image [20160508] by lenny.raposo with Longsleep kernel

0. ssh debian@pine64pro
1. sudo su -
2. apt-get install libjpeg8-dev imagemagick libv4l-dev cmake
3. git clone https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer
4. cd mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental
5. make
6. ./mjpg_streamer ./mjpg_streamer -o "output_http.so -w ./www" -i "input_uvc.so"

This needs to be run by root (for testing purpose). In other cases You can get: ERROR opening V4L interface: Permission denied.
To fix this You need to add  any other user You use (debian is there) to video group. You can do this like this: sudo usermod -a -G video  <username>
To make it work please logout and login.
