To show the pine WILL get hot!

Gesendet von meinem K00L mit Tapatalk

Two days ago, I received my Pine64+ 1GB motherboard. For the two days, I am struggling to turn it on. I also haven't received any additional power button like others.

What am I doing: Flashed RemixOS to SD card. Attached microSD card to Pine, Connected mobile charger to board. Red/Orange light turns ON. Connected HDMI to my Sony LED. Nothing shows up. Nothing. Am I doing anything wrong? Is the board dead? I don't think it's dead as orange light is ON.

Haven't been able to get my hands on Pine64. The curiosity is at its peak. Please help someone.

Just a suggestion, it would be helpful to have MD5 (SHA1 or SHA256 would be nice, too) hashes available for all image file downloads listed on the wiki page [1].  I thought it deserved a separate thread (I've seen this mentioned in other threads)

Hello everyone, it should be nice to have BerryBoot for Pine64. Perhaps it already exists...

See: http://www.berryterminal.com/doku.php/berryboot

So I got Archlinuxarm to work. Yay! But I cant seem to load Kodi. My best conclusion is that Kodi is not supported on ARMv8.  Can anyone confirm this?  If it is supported please help with the install.   The typical pacman -S kodi doesnt work.

It seems that I can't download anything from files.pine64.org today (this is the first time I've tried, just unboxed my Pine A64).  

Connection times out.  Tried access via various data centers to be sure it's not my local ISP, nothing seems to work.   Anyone else seeing this today?

I have a 2GB version with wifi, and I've gotten remixos, android, and ubuntu to boot, but I'm having severe lag and/or "not responding" popups on all OSs and all programs.  I've tested my SD card and it's fine,  I get 9MB/s writes and 30MB/s reads and no errors.  so far remix OS is the worst performance, and I was about to try debian instead of ubuntu but now files.pine64.org is down.

I'm using a 2A wall charger and have tried a few cables, but my understand is that if it boots that shouldn't be a problem.

what do I need to look at to figure out what's going on?

Got mine a couple of hours ago (2GB). Burned a Ubuntu image and booted it up. Rebooted a couple of times. And now it doesn't turn on anymore. The red LED stays off. Looks dead.

I tried a few other USB power supplies (I have quite a few and I bought them for my Pis, none of those crappy ones that you get with your phone) and nothing. The board seems to be busted. I removed everything (no keyboard or mouse or Ethernet or HDMI cable, no SD card) and it didn't make any difference.

Sigh.. knowing them, 1- it will take them forever to replace the board and 2- they will charge me another $7 to send a replacement

Waiting for : it must be your fault doing something you're not supposed to do. your power supply was -bad-, cables have not been thick enough. Stop whining, there is always problem with a new piece of hardware, etc. etc. etc.

is the right email support@pine64.com?

hi,

i need my Pine64 A64+ 2 GB RAM board to have a permanent MAC address, yet it seems to get a new, random one every time i restart.

allow me to explain —

i need the permanent MAC address so my home router (Xfinity/Comcast Cable Modem) can give it a permanent IP in the DHCP list. the reason i need that, is so i can do port forwarding and be able to ssh into the board, if i leave it on (currently with Arch Linux, i also have other MicoSD cards that have other OS's, like Ubuntu). if the MAC address changes each time, the router can't find it and just gives it a random IP number, instead of my desired permanent IP that i am looking for, and, of course, i can never log-in to the board.

however, every time i restart the board, it has a new MAC address (???). at least for the ethernet, as that is the only real MAC address for it i see. i've confirmed this both with the router software looking at the board's MAC address each time i've re-started it, as well as with ifconfig -a and dmesg. in fact, dmesg has this line in it —

I received my pine 64 2G version today but was fairly disappointed: it didn't boot (tried image burning many times) and there was no output signals from the HDMI port. I simply want to return it. Is there anyone knows how to do that?

Thanks!
