Hi  !

This weekend I make acrylic case for my Pine 64 plus with my Laser cutter machine.

I make this small video...

Now I have a wooden enclosure versions ready for sale and will soon be in acrylic ...

UPPDATE!! Acrylic enclosure for Pine A64 in AMAZON warehouse are ready !!

See you soon! 

Hi All
 I place an order for 2 of the 2 Gigabyte versions and never got a confirmation email but my credit card was charged. I did not write down the order number.  Whatshould I do.    please advise.

I'm thinking that with so many navigation apps on android, it might be possible to install a pine with touch display in the motorhome I'm buying as a reasonably priced satnav with the bonus that it could use wifi and bluetooth when available to integrate with entertainment systems and be also used as an internet link for email etc.

Two questions, one, am I expecting too much of the system? Two, are there any gps modules available?

Just thinking out loud.

Has anyone been able to get their hands on the blueprint for the board? I need to know some dimmensions for my enclosure project.
Like the exact placement of the mounting holes, and other stuff like the HDMI, USB, power connector and so on.
I allso need to know the plazement on the Z-axis, preferably from the bottom of the PCB to the top of each part.
An accurate measurement of the components will allso help me get this enclosure right on the first try. (It will be to expensive to get it wrong since I have to outsource the making of the enclosure. I dont have he right tools needed)

I looked at the wiki page, but could only find a PDF with the outer dimmensions of the PCB, nothing more.

It will be possible to calculate the placement of the mounting holes and connectors, but the Z-axis is impossible to know anything about.

To easily build the Kernel as provided in the BSP i have added it to Git including patches to make it actually compile and work suitably:

https://github.com/longsleep/linux-pine6...ne64-hacks

Use it together with my build tools at https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image to create working and bootable Linux images from source.

The Kernel and U-Boot from the BSP uses the device tree from https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6...pine64.dts and a suitable Kernel configuration is at https://github.com/longsleep/linux-pine6..._defconfig

Start with reading https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6.../README.md and do not forget about U-Boot https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6...ostprocess

I publish compiled Linux Kernel builds for image builders from that tree. This gives you Kernel, initrd, dtb and modules which can be easily combined with any rootfs.

Hello,

I would like to know if Pine64 could run an Android like Remix OS  with a nice desktop ?

Hi,

I would like to know if PINE64 could work with IOIO-OTG ?

My robot with IOIO-OTG : http://www.robot-maker.com/forum/topic/9...eo-webrtc/

I am extracting boot img from partition 9 of the sdcard, extracted it and indicated the ramdisk to load /sbin/init from main partition.
I repackaged it, dd'd to the partition again and booted, but it boots flawlessly again. No need to say that i was expecting to see a panic on the serial console, because /sbin/init doesnt exist.

Can anyone confirm that the main kernel is on sdX9 of the sdcard? Or is it the recover partition?
Or maybe it boots from recover whenever an error arises?

I already got a debootstrapped linux ready to copy, but i was expecting to have this ready before...

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Can any one tell me where is the mux configuration file for intel edison board in edison u-boot. I want to configure gpio pins for sdcard interface.

Thanks in advance,

I'm planning on running a server from my Pine64, and after i set everything up, i want to put the Pine in a closet or something. I was hoping i could use something to access the Pine from a different computer or device, so i did some research.

I found this: https://www.realvnc.com

If you look at their downloads page, found here, it lists a bunch of versions of their software for a bunch of operating systems. They have viewers for a bunch of operating systems as well. 

Do you think this VNC software will work on the Pine64? If so, which operating system would you recommend? (I was hoping for some flavor of Linux to save resources, but anything is up for suggestion. I was thinking that a graphical remote connection would be easier than just command-line.)

Opinions?
