Got my board today! 

Got a question though, there is a jumper I don't recall seeing on most other photos for switching between 5v dc and battery power. What is its purpose other than the obvious and why was it needed?

Anyone designing a 3D printable case for the Pine yet ?

So I now have 2 power supplies and 3 cables being delivered to my house tomorrow because I wrote the card, plugged everything in and got only a red power light.

After spending all that money I decided to test what the power supply was giving the board and it all looked perfectly normal. So I decided to read the boards and.. Oh wait.. There is a specific card writer (Phoenix Card) - Stupid me, I used Win32DiskImager

So if I'm not alone in this auto-pilot mode of doing what has worked for the Raspberry Pi (etc) then hopefully others shall find this post and realise it's the process you got wrong and the board is 'probably' working perfectly.

Found this switch in the bottom of the box, Shouldn't it be attached to the Pine ?

Problem I have is every time I start the burn possess if formats the card then disconnects it and the install fails, then the card is re recognised by the computer. By then I get install failed error message. Using Win10

Hi, my board arrived today and I now realize I failed to order the WiFi/BT Module. Is it possible to get ahold of one of these separately ? How ?

Thanks !

My plan is to use an old PS1 case and controllers with the Pine64+.  It will be used as a PC and an game emulator.




I've gutted the case except for the power supply and the the input slot for memory and controllers.  The PS has an 8v line I've attached to a DC-DC step down 5V.  The nice thing about this is I can still use the actual power button and rest.

I've added a pig tail added for LAN port.  Waiting on HDMI pigtail from ebay.  

Siimple USB hub is being used to attach external storage.  Paper printout is standing in for Pine unit.



The front ports for the PS1/PS2 controllers will run through a USB adapter.  I hope this works, as I have no way of testing it.


I'm also working on converting the standard PS1 memory modual into a USB SD card reader.  While still plugging into the front of the PS1.  I used an old ISA card edge modem instead of destroying the existing memory card.

If you have 2.1 V versus 5.1 V, does it not boot or is it very slow? 

Hearing rumors about the development of Cyanogenmod 12/13 in the Pine64, if it's true this will be the best budget Android device ever.
