thoroughly disappointed in this board.  advertised as android being the "main" OS and android doesnt even work right. ethernet is unbearably slow, and keyboard support is horrible.  2 different Logitech keyboards would just drop out.  when, keyboard is working i get about 1.5 second lag between key press and it actually registering.

so far its just sitting as a basic debian box, accesed by ssh only since thats the only OS I can get to run right, and from my understanding debian was built by a community member, not by a pine dev. 

so my question is, what is the pine team doing about software dev, since it seens that they cant port a working OS

i am glad to help, but i know nothing about porting a OS to a new board, and that seems to be needed before i can start playing with it.  

Hi,

For those looking to do this.  Here are the instructions.  FF works perfectly for me with this change.  Credit goes to @androsch for helping with the basic configuration.

Note: all commands should be run as root

1. sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
   
2. sudo apt-get update
   
3. sudo apt-get install firefox:armhf
   

I noticed there wasnt a build directory /lib/modules/3.10.101-0-pine64-longsleep to compile in kernel modules.


How would I go about doing this?  I have a HFS+ formatted drive I would like to attach for the Plex server and I would rather not reformat the drive and lose compatibility with my iMac.
Thanks in advance,
Cole

Hello.

I was wondering, if USB audio is possible on Android for use with external USB DACs?

Please add electric circuit schematic to wiki.pine64, is very much needed. Thank you.

Hello,

Please find a solution to the pass-through problem....! 

I got the Pine64 for using Android environment with Kodi

Hi all,

I am using the latest version of longsleep's Ubuntu to set up a samba server.
After setting the server up and accessing the samba server through my desktop, I transferred a large file directly to the SD card.
To test the read speed, I started a transfer from the Pine to my Desktop.
Despite having gigabit ethernet, I seem to only be able to get speeds of 2 MB/s to 5 MB/s.
Any ideas what could be going on here?

Thanks

Does anyone know if there are any existing Vagrant  boxes with libvert provider on arm64 architecture, for use with pine64 ?

- agc

it seems that xfs filesystem support is missing in the current xenial image.

Is there a way to install it manually ?
Are there any plans to include it in the future ?

I think I already know the answer, but I want to confirm, and see what options I have...

I'm using the 0502 Ubuntu build from Pine64, based on longsleep's kernel.
I want to get kernel updates, because longsleep mentioned the addition of I2C (and as I've learned, I think I probably want his build instead of Pine64's).

Is there anyway to update my kernel without having to scrap what I have and reinstall?
