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:

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?

Good morning!

I got my Pine 64+ 2GB board last week and have been playing around with it a bit. I installed the Wifi/Bluetooth module that came with it (making sure it was put on the correct way with all the pins lining up), and then installed the Remix OS image onto an SD card:

sun50iw1p1_android_db1000_uart0.img

Everything was installed onto the SD card just fine, and the system booted up fine. I was not able to get the WiFi working right out of the box, so I plugged in my ethernet cable and looked for any updates. There were no updates. I am able to get online with the ethernet plugged in, but just not WiFi.

I turned on the Bluetooth portion, and was able to "see" my other BT devices. 

Is anyone else having issues getting the WiFi or Bluetooth to work, and does anyone have any thoughts on how to get it to work, or even troubleshoot it?

I'm fairly new to tinkering with these types of things. I've used Raspberry Pi machines in the past with USB dongles for WiFi, but this is obviously different.

Thanks, in advance!

I have had my Pine 2GB for about a week. I have tried Remix ( both Phoenix and DD ), Android, Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, etc. All on a class 10 samsung sd card, with a 2.4A power supply. Connected to multiple displays. All this to no avail. All I ever get is a display that tells me there is no input detected.
Has anyone else had this problem? I emailed Support about it and have not heard back yet. If there is a problem with my board I would like to return it and get a new one. I was very excited to get this, but the problems are taking the wind out of it.

Any help would be great,
Cheers, Matt

Would any kind soul consider forwarding the KS e-mails to me?
I'm really interested in what they've said before so some specific users doensn't have to lose their temper over people asking the same questions.

Thanks all.
