  Case

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


  Always RTFM..
Posted by: rtigd2 - 03-30-2016, 07:43 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (3)

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. Rolleyes

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 !

Debian Jessie Base & Mate Images June 30th 2016 Are Up


I have built a new Desktop based image and Headless image for the Pine A64 and A64+ Models (512Mb, 1Gb and 2Gb). These works are based on longsleep's kernel/uboot build and come with his scripts for providing future updates to uboot, kernel and future fixes (such as PulseAudio).

The Headless release (base) is without a desktop UI.

The Desktop release comes packed with the following:

Mate Desktop Environment
Bluetooth Enabled
Hardware Video Decode (VDPau)
FBTurbo Xorg Package
Sunxi Display Tool (Thanks to longsleep)
Display Resolution Set To 1280x720p60 On Boot
Sound Is Now Fixed (Using PulseAudio Instead Of ALSA Only)

Latest longsleep Kernel (3.10.102)
Kodi 16.X (Works In Windowed Mode View Screenshots Below)
LibreOffice
Midori & Firefox
The GIMP & Inkscape
and more...

Don't forget to resize your rootfs with resize_rootfs.sh on first boot.

As always feedback is welcome


Tutorial And Resource Site Is Up


As I have mentioned before I have been working away on a Tutorial/Resource site for the community and I am glad to say it is up but not entirely completed.

I have a few tutorials in the works (screenshots and all) that are undergoing the editing process not to mention some of the site mechanics that are in the works. Thus far I have documents and every image available for download from my servers and some news items (Backerkit news) posted already.

The intention of this site is to share information and provide resources in a more refined manner and not to take away from the Forum or Wiki. Anything and Everything that goes up on the Tutorial/Resource site will be duplicated and added to the Official Pine64 Wiki and/or Forum where ever applicable.

Furthermore, as this is a community effort, myself and a select group of individuals will be taking in any tutorials, OS images, software and useful information from those of you who wish to add to the knowledge base for the Pine64.

Please note that this is not an Official Pine64 site, but I will be providing a level of access to the Pine64 Team in hopes of doubling our efforts in building a large and prosperous community. Think of it as Debian/Ubuntu or Android/Linux kind of relationship.

With that all being said let me introduce you all to


Bug Reports Forum Is Up


Please post any issues to the Linux 3.10.65 BSP Kernel Build Bug Reports forum. Be sure to read the first post before posting.

Thanks everyone Smile


Tutorial/Resource Site Coming To The Web Near You


Just wanted to let everyone know that aside from putting together images and helping folks in the community I am also developing a website for all sorts of Pine64 related news, tutorials, software and showcases.

I hope to have something up by next week Tuesday.

So hang tight and remember if I can help you I will do my best to do so. Also remember to give longsleep, apritzel and umiddelb a high five for their contributions in the Linux ecosphere for the Pine64. I know that without them I would not have been able to put most of this together.

Also thank the Pine guys that actually spend time to interact with the community, it's great to see them take the time to get involved in their current busy schedules.


  PS1 Case project
Posted by: HeadShot - 03-29-2016, 01:50 PM - Forum: Game Station Emulation - Replies (8)

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.

[Image: 25516891653_731dc23de8_c.jpg]


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.

[Image: 26093586936_fd8b0477e5_c.jpg]

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.

  What happens if you under-power voltage?
Posted by: GoZone - 03-29-2016, 08:44 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (3)

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


  Cyanogenmod 13
Posted by: GoZone - 03-29-2016, 08:42 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (2)

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.  Smile


  Idle Temp
Posted by: scnd - 03-28-2016, 09:48 AM - Forum: Heat Dissipation and Overclock Topic - Replies (2)

I was wondering about operating temperature, idle temperature, and upper and lower limits of the pine. Has anyone done any testing on this?

I'd like to use mine as a media server, but if it runs too hot on idle, the place that I'd like to put it may not be wise. 

Honestly, this is probably all in the faq, but it at least gives me an excuse to interact with the community.
