This is a bootable SDCard Image that only suitable for Pine A64 with 1GB & 2GB ram version.
After unrar the file, use Allwinner PhoenixCard Bootable SDCard Creator to create the bootable SDCard.
I am using a 8GB memory card and the PhoenixCard software as suggested and I am trying to use the most recent build of Lollipop that was posted and I am getting an error. Any help or suggestions. I am trying to boot up my board to test it out since I received it yesterday in a banged up box.
If you have not seen this then I have added a LINK here and below to read more about it
But I am just wondering if any one here would know if it will work with the PINE64?
I am thinking of using one of mine as a gadget for Geocaching not sure what I will do but I have a background in electronics so I hope to make it into some sort of puzzle maybe
any one else geocache and ever come across a cool cache that used electronics?
The A64 SoC has hardware acceleration for the decoding and encoding audio/video.
Rosimildo Silva created a proof of concept example that can encode the video from a webcam into a H264-compressed video file.
His attempt uses binary blobs, is in alpha state and has been tested on the H3 SoC.
The Pine64 Site in Stack Exchange has been proposed. Right now is in Area51, as a proposal. Area51 is where all the communities/sites are proposed.
What is Stack Exchange: Stack Exchange is a network of question and answer Web sites on topics in varied fields, each site covering a specific topic, where questions, answers, and users are subject to a reputation award process. The sites are modeled after Stack Overflow, a Q&A site for computer programming questions that was the original site in this network. The reputation system allows the sites to be self-moderating. User contributions are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Status:Define
The topic and audience are still being decided. It needs:
0 more followers. (Thats just the minimum, more are better, so things are easier and better for all of us, so keep following and sharing, thanks).
14 more questions with a score of 10 or more.
to move to the next phase. Define > Commit > Beta > Launch.
To be able to create the community/site, we need to have 40 questions published with a score of 10 or more on each one. So if you are interested, you can post yours questions there. And don't forget to share it.
The idea is to create a community as the Raspberry Pi 2 has: http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/
The Pine64 community its on an early stage. But everyday we have new members and new projects being created.
I will keep the post updated with news about the proposal and it's state.
EDIT1: Do not use comments to answer these questions. This proposal is not part of a Q&A site, and the task at hand is to submit "example questions" to help define what is on and off topic for a site. Comments are here to help improve the questions by asking for clarification or to suggest improvements; not to answer them.
EDIT2: We have reached the first followers goal (60), but thats just the minimum to being able to create it, we still need more followers, so the next stages of the process are faster and easier for all.
We still don't have the minimum amount of questions with score of 10 or more.
Pine A64+ 1GB backer here. Received my board today.
Downloaded PhoenixCard 3.10, and "Android Image Release 20160216" (Pinea64_android_lollipop_db1000_20160216.zip).
Burned the sun50iw1p1_android_db1000_uart0_0216.img using PhoenixCard in "Startup!" mode.
The board boots and shows a logo for a few seconds, but then shuts down.
I also tried android_dd_20160112.zip and wrote android_20160112.img using dd to the microSD card, but the same thing occurs. It shows the startup logo, but then the power LED turns off.
