[edit 3] Think I traced the problem to ehci --- does anyone know how to disable it in the kernel ? 

Hello

I connected an external usb3 hdd to the Pine64 (formated ext4) and it cannot see it. I have tried fdisk -l and nothing. 

Any suggestions would be very welcome. 

Cheers ! 

Luke

[edit] Dont know if this helps but the the bus with the drive connected returns no id: 

Bus 002 Device 125: ID 2537:1066

[edit 2] I did  "dmesg | more" to see if the drive is throwing out any errors and, as it turns out, it keeps connecting and disconnecting. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this ? 

Here is tiny fraction of the output im getting:

Fake/counterfeit SD cards are a real concern for anyone trying to buy a reliable SD/TF card. You get them from every retailer since they sometimes don't even know that they sell fake cards. And trying to make 'good deals' almost always ends up with a fake SD card.

Compare with this nice article here:

Quote:I recently got about 20 64GB Micro SD cards for some project at various online sources (eBay, Ali, etc). 17 of those cards are fake.

Please use this thread to post links to any other threads you think could be useful to other users. The idea is to create a kind of meta-thread that people looking for answers can be referred to. For example:

I was reading the posts and noticed one person mention that they had to sign for their package. Is it being sent as signature required in person or can you sign and leave it for the USPS for the next day?

Hey there still waiting on my board, but wondering what project to start with, I wondered if anyone has thought about using it as an Oculus rift, or any other VR setup.

Hello,
I apologize if this has been asked, but is there a tutorial or a quick-start guide? I"m not really sure where to start.
I'm familiar with using other microprocessor based FPGA boards which require downloading a program (i.e libero) and using verilog/C. However, as far as I can tell this is not needed for the pine64...? Basically, if anyone could help me get started, that'd be great.
Thanks

Hey everyone,

Having toyed around with the pine64 for a couple of weeks, I feel that now I zeroed in on a real day-to-day purpose for it. I want it to act as a NAS/ sync server. While I know that I could just get BitTorrent sync + samba installed on it and live happily ever after, I am wondering if it would be possible to build omv for the pine64. From what I remember omv uses Debian (right?) and not Ubuntu - hence my question, would it be possible to install omv on top of ubuntu?
 Cheers, 

Luke

Tried to burn the android image onto my sdcard but fails every time.
Phoenixcard is running as administrator.
Reformatted sdcard a few times still no luck.
The partition of the sdcard after phoenixcard reformatted it seems very weird.
Attached the images of error for reference.
Any help or advise would be appreciated.

Hi,
I just received my Pine A64 (1GB model)  and I wanted to try out Moonlight-embedded for streaming games (https://github.com/irtimmer/moonlight-embedded).
First I installed Arch Linux and then I followed the official instructions (https://github.com/irtimmer/moonlight-em...i/Packages)  for installing Moonlight.
Unfortunately I got the following error:

        package moonlight-embedded-2.1.4-1-armv7h does not have a valid architecture

I guess the issue here is that the pine uses the arm v8 architecture. 

Did someone already try to compile/install moonlight for the pine?
