I see that the forum has been changed, have you migrated all the posts from the old forum?

Has anyone setup I2C on Ubuntu yet?
I'm not a Linux expert, so I'm sure I'm missing something simple.

I've installed i2c tools.
When I do i2cdetect -l, it doesn't find anything.

However, looking in /sys/class, I can see i2c-0 and i2c-1.

Do I need to comment i2c out from the blacklist?
Is there something else needed?

Thanks!

The store does not seem to currently have the IR peripheral as something I can buy. Is there something special about the device or is it possible to add a standard IR receiver? Is it planned to sell the official receiver in the store soon?

Was thinking of making something like this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberr...tificatio/ with my new Pine.  Having the Android OS available is cool for this type of project as I can use a number of ready made widgets rather than doing lots of coding.  However, control seems to be the issue.  Most of these projects use simple buttons via GPIO which seems difficult with Android.

Here are some ideas I have for control:

1) Touch screen, this would be coolest, but anything even a decent size (say 18") is going to be really expensive.
2) BT mini keyboard - sort of awkward to mount.
3) Some type of mountable touchpad (not sure if one exists).

Regarding the monitor, do you think one like this would work? http://www.amazon.com/Dell-E2014T-Screen...00FE8MLY6/

Other ideas for how to deal with the input issue if I was to use Android?

using 20160501.  boot up with no ethernet, connect wifi, and connections all fail

reason is that eth0 is setup in interfaces and for some reason if creating a default route to nowhere, and the wifi adds another default route, and I'm guessing the kernel routing table prioritizes the wired.

solution:  comment out the eth0 lines in /etc/network/interfaces and let network-manager handle it, the it can be manually disabled if needed.

Hi Guys, brand new on here so thought I would say hello...  HELLO!  Okay that's said and done.

Just ordered my Pine 64 with peripherals and told that delivery maybe late May or June so I shall be twiddling thumbs for a while and trying to learn from your experience's. 

See you on the fly paper.

I have successfully burned the image provided on the downloads page using the DD method... I am wondering how (using any method or OS) I can increase the partition size so that it isn't just the 4gb allowed by the OS (I am using a 32gb REAL MicroSD).

Thanks in advance

I can't submit a "Customer Support" email using the "Support" link on the Pine64 main website, so I'm posting here...


I got an email early on stating I would be part of the March shipments. But that there would also be April shipments. I figured you guys were backed up and had a lot of problems maybe so I was patient.

But I've received NO contact whatsoever about shipping details.

I filled out the confirmation emails that were for addresses and additional items in the package... I ended up paying $89 over all at the end of everything. 

It's now May and I still have nothing to show for any of it. I checked and I submitted my initial payment of $39 to the Kickstarter on January 25th... I then paid another, I think $80 to receive additional parts for the final product. 

I'm being extremely patient... But I would like some feedback on where my items are or if they're coming at all?

(I just noticed I misposted this in the general forum instead of the shipping forum... If a mod could move it that'd be cool, if not... Sorry.)

I can't seem to get my external HDD to play nice with Remix OS. I've formatted it fat32, I plug it in and it's recognised but the name of it is EFI (not what I named it) and the only thing I can see on the drive is lost.dir

Any thoughts?

Hi, if I want to utilize GPIO ports for buttons and such should I be choosing an OS other than Android / Remix?  I dont see any documentation on how to get access to those inputs from Android.
