Hi there,

Have you guys thought about creating something similar to Raspberry PI Compute Module?
The idea is that Pine64 is a nice board for prototyping, but it's kind of tricky to embed it into final device. It'd be awesome to have a separate "compute module" with only processor, memory and flash memory (or microSD socket).

I think I am going to try to make one out of a nice cigar box, and thought about a fake hollow book. I want to use mine as a set top box for the TV so I want it to blend in and not stand out.

A retro look.  The non-computer.  I'll figure out some way to route the wires so you can't see them.  The TV is already inconspicuous.

I have not identified the box yet, so many to chose from. 

Will I be able to use Logitech Living-Room Keyboard K410 ???

I just made an Arch Linux image with XFCE GUI using longsleep Arch Linux Image  version 20160304-1.

For more detail on the image, please refer to our wiki page at http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pine_A6...20160304-1

I just read on another review site that the Pine64 doesn't have CEC capabilities over HDMI. Is this true? RasPi has this. Is it a hardware issue or software issue? Can I compile libcec on Pine and expect it to work?

I was planning on using Pine64 as my new media center but lack of CEC will make that a tough thing to accomplish.

Hello,

I'm porting RSB (Reduced Serial Bus) driver for PMIC development.
In mainline kernel, it seems RSB driver is supported. According to RSB DT bindings, it requires clock gate and reset line.
However, I can't find them in Allwinner A64 user manual. I think register information below should be described in the document but nothing.

    Clock gate number (PLL_XXX_CTRL_REG)
    Reset register information (BUS_SOFT_RST_REGX)

Both DT properties are mandatory in the driver, so RSB subsystem will not work without these specifiers.
Or Am I missing something?

Best regards,
Milo

Will the PINE64 be able to load custom EL2 (Hypervisor) and EL3 (Secure Monitor) code? One of the reasons I'm buying the device is to get more familiar with the ARM64 architecture, and I'm very interested in how the Hypervisor and Secure Monitor modes work. 


Similarly, are there any other restrictions as to what code can run? Can we program directly on the bare metal with our own bootloader, OS, etc?

Hi

Someone succeed to run Pyload on PINE64 ?

or similar application

Hello,

If you're interested in using a Docker for Pine64 kernel development, please take a look at the page below.

http://milokim.github.io/lbb/establing-b...nv-pine64/

I hope it would save your time to set up build environment such like installing a cross compiler, getting mainline source and making a kernel image.

Best regards,
Milo

i have created a danish Pine A64 user group at facebook.
