Does anyone have a link to where I can get a support display? Or a case? Or a case that holds the Pine64 and a display? I have a huge IoT project and want to build a demo with it but I need some help please. Thanks!

Ive been using a Raspberry Pi and this thing blows it away! Love this board but when it comes to the above aesthetics Im in over my head

My question, is there or will there be an official linux distro for Pine?

im not a super savvy Linux user. Is there a place I can get non amd64  .deb's?

I'm trying to install either plex or chrome, but I'm pretty sure it's refusing to do so because it's the incorrect architecture. 

Any help would be nice.

Hi everyone!
I just ordered my Pine64 and I wanted to use it with android on my TV.
However I was wondering if there is a way to control the android with something else than a mouse and keyboard. I was a raspberry pi user (with OSMC on it) and I controlled it with my phone.
The goal for me is having on the Pine apps like netflix, kodi for having my complete media center, and some games like angry birds that I can play with a remote.

Is something like that possible?

Thanks a lot!

I've flashed Android 5.1.1 image (March dd image) to a micro SD card, and after spending some time to find a power supply + USB cable combination that would actually boot the board, I get the red LED always on with the following log looping in the serial console:

Hi

I finally got my Pine64 2GB board. The creation of an SD card went quite smooth, thanks to all the contributions and people who created the images.

I loaded the longsleep Ubuntu 20160421 image, and it booted up without any pains. 

My question is: I only get to the command line. It does not boot through to the GUI. I ran sudo apt-get update and it updated all packages.

Any suggestions?

I made it by buying a thin sheet of acrylic at lowes under $8. Cut and drilled it. So far no problems. Running remix os with kodi (about the only thing I know how to do. New to all of this)

I purchased a nice clean white Netgear WGR614 wireless-G router at a yard sale for $5.00.  The guy wasn't sure if it worked, but I had other plans for it anyway.  I thought it seemed about the right size for the Pine64.  I just got the 2GB board in yesterday, so I've begun toying with the router case.  The board actually fits right inside the security screw posts of the router's case.  I had to stand it on risers and spreaders to "trap" the board within the height of the case.  I have pictures, but I don't have an image hosting account.  Do they still offer free image hosting accounts?  If anyone can point me in the right direction with images, I'd be happy to share them.  Until then, I'll find some that already exist (of the router).

The security screws are located under the rubber feet.  The board is a bit snug with regard to access to the ports.  There is plenty of room for the air mouse/remote w/keyboard's tiny USB dongle on one end of the case.  The other end has exactly the same amount of space, but I'm going to have to purchase some right angle cables for HDMI, Micro USB power, and Ethernet.  I've located what I think will work, but I won't know until I actually order them and get them in.  The router case has an access panel on one of its longer sides (the back).

The router also has a rotating antenna, but I'm not sure I need the WiFi antenna sticking out of the case--nor am I sure that I could solder the router's antenna onto the WiFi module's antenna or if that would even work.  Unfortunately the router's antenna was soldered to the router's board rather than attached the way the WiFi module's is.  Otherwise I could have just switched the leads over.



I've had a lot of issues with my Android build, and I'm not sure at this point that I want to purchase those cables--unless I can get this thing to work first.  I really just wanted a dedicated Kodi box with Ethernet capability (to make streaming more robust).  It appears that Ethernet is problematic with an Android build as well, but I hadn't got that far.  The read rate from my bootable Class 10 Micro SD card seems to be extremely slow.

What drew me toward a router case is the ventilation that the cases offer.  I may have to go a bit bigger though.  There are a lot to choose from.

Hi-

I am only seeing a disc image file when extracting the phoenix card and the actual Android 5.1.1. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I would like to know if this is plan to launch Raspian on the Pine, because many tutorials made for the Raspberry ( unfortunally there is no tutorial to makes projects on the Pine64 yet ) works on Raspbian ?

Thanks for your time

Have a nice day
