Good morning,

Has anyone tested the 4K video output on a 4K television or monitor?

(I know that Android outputs in 1080p.)

Thanks!

Hi guys!

How you guys connect wifi through the official wifi/bt module?
I am using this image(Arch Linux Image with XFCE4 Base on Longsleep Image 20160304-1)

lspci -k or lsusb -v not working at all

Any idea?

Xrdp is an X impmentations of Microsoft's rdp protocol. I have used it on several other linux software/hardware platforms and it works well. To install it on debian all I did was;
sudo apt-get install xrdp

That was it, then I connected with a windows RDP client and everything works.

I cant recall if there is an internal hardware watchdog or not? Anyone know?

720p as default, first boot, resolution.

This is just a suggestion that should allow more HDMI monitors and TVs to give display on first boot.

I have noticed many reported problems are "no display", and some of those people are trying to use monitors and TVs that can not handle 1080p. Armbian did this with their OS to solve that simple problem that was taking up time in forums. Even many HDMI monitors may work if they were some other resolution like 1280x1024 or 1440 x 900 and the Pine is set at 720p. I'm not sure how far the OS devs are in getting the correct dts settings for 720p, but I feel that would be the best simple fix for many.

Request for comments.

Hi, 

I'm running the latest version of Android I found on the wiki page: 20160216

My problem is the download speed over ethernet, which is really slow (~1Mbps), but my upload speed is (~15Mbps).
As a reference my pc has a download speed of 200Mbps and upload of 15Mbps.

How do I fix the slow download speed on the pine?

Thx,

Hello, this is the first time I buy a card like this and I have to say I have not started well.

It turns out that from the first moment you try to connect pine64 to a monitor HDMI with a direct cable but did not give signal.
   
   
I was reading and saw that it was taking a bit of trouble Pine64 with this, for I well, tried several cables, various types more expensive, cheaper and with a total of 4 TV's and monitors of different brands and generations with direct connection hdmi making all possible combinations and I have not gotten even see the welcome screen pine64.

   
Am I doing something wrong ?, or is it a possibility that is defective? please if someone has happened something similar would welcome help.

A greeting! and forgive my bad English.

PD: I have also tried several power supply and unplug everything except the HDMI and power.

I have been toying with my Pine64 2GB for awhile now, and am about to chalk this up as a bad purchase, and not waste any more time on this. I could really use some help. Here are my issues. When I go to the Pine64 Wiki, they discuss 3 options for OS. Arch, RemixOS, and Android. Seeing as I have a 2 GB, Arch and RemixOS are not an option because "This version of image is not suitable for PineA64 with 2GB Memory due to a bug involving DMA data transfer with the gigabit ethernet" and Android is not an option, because I only have access to a Mac computer.

So... what are my options? I hear that Ubuntu works, but can't find any support for that. It would really be nice if the folks over at Pine had SOME kind of support or documentation to help out their patrons. I'm kind of feeling like I've been left out in the dark.

Received the pine a few days ago, finally had a chance to play today and so far I am not impressed.

I purchased a brand new Micro SD to use with this thing. Followed the instructions to install Android. Used the PhoenixCard application applied the image as a startup. process was successful exited the app and ejected the card. Inserted the card into the Pine and plugged it in. Got a nice android logo then a Pine A64 logo on a white screen. Left it on the screen for 90 minutes giving it the benefit of the doubt. Nothing happened!

Tried the Remix OS image (yes I know there is an issue with the 2GB model and Remix) but at this point I am just trying to get something other than a white screen and a Pine A64 logo. Nope got that screen.

So I tried formatting with Arch Linux image. Wouldn't work using the PhoenixCard application as says there is a script missing from the file great! I install it with the Win32Diskimager and hazah I have something that might actually work. Well you would think so wouldn't you. It appears that the little wifi/Bluetooth dongle I paid extra for that actually doesn't quite fit properly doesn't work with Arch. Deep joy!

OK so I now try again I wipe the SD card and run the PhoenixCard App and add Android to it again. A complete repeat of the first try. I remove again wipe rinse and repeat now PhoenixCard App just errors. I have rebooted the app, my computer.

What a complete waste of time this thing is. Well worth the cost and the wait!

I would like to statically assign an IP address to my Pine64 on my home network, however, I've noticed that every time I boot the board it comes up with a different ethernet MAC address. This behavior is unlike anything else on my home network which have fixed MAC addresses. Normally, assigning static ip addresses is easy for my home network --- surf to my wifi router and enter MAC address and static ip address assignment in its DHCP table and then I'm done.
With a new MAC address at each boot completely circumvents this simple solution. What can I do to fix the ip address assignment. BTW, I've installed and am running ArchLinux.

Thanks.
