Hey Y'all,

  A very new noob here.
Does the video output type on the pine64 limit the kinds of video components usable?
  In other words, could I hook it up to an old tube-type Magnavox or Zenith television?

Thank you all.

Most of the talk so far has been on running emulators using Android or RemixOS, but has anyone else attempted it under Linux?

I am using the longsleep Arch Linux image, and have managed to set up retroarch and xboxdrv. I installed the SNES9x-next core, but I am only getting around 9 FPS using the gl driver, and around 13 FPS with the sdl one. I haven't yet attempted to recompile retroarch to add OpenGL ES support, which I assume is necessary for the Mali GPU driver.

It would be great to hear about other people's attempts and see if we can work together to get a RetroPie equivalent working on the Pine.

My Pine64 512MB just arrived. Before even opening the anti-static bag I noticed all the extra solder seen in the attached photo. My hunch is that it's fine, but before I power this board up I thought I'd get a second opinion. What do people think?

   

        Got it yesterday and I was looking forward to seeing what it can do. I created the bootable card and set up everything to get it to go. I put the Ethernet cable, the monitor, a mouse and finally the plug to my tablet. The plug has a thick cord and is powerful enough to run anything. Including my Pi2. 

So the red light comes on, the monitor tries to get a picture and then.. NOTHING. No picture, no nothing. Help?

hey guys.
would anyone please tell me how to flash android os to pine 64?
is there any link for starters?

thanx

Hi All
I have installed openhab2 on pine64 ( Debian Mate) with success. Openhab2  works pretty good ( but there are a lot of java errors in logs)  
I connect Aeon Z-Wave USB stick but  I can't find usb port in /dev/ 
/dev/ttyUSB0 does not exist.
Any idea which device  I should use?
regards

So, the actual operating system works great! But every single application loads extreamely slow, if it does at all. Once it loads its fine and dandy but sometimes it seems like any application will just work itself into the ground and stop unexpectedly. Anyone encountering the same issue?

Hi all,

I am a February backer and I ordered my Pine 64 2GB with an additional Pine 64 2GB and 2 Power Supplies.
The Kickstarter update said it would be shipped by the 12th, but I still have no tracking number nor shipment.
I've been patient hoping to just get even one pine, but I am losing hope that it will even come by the end of the month.

Had I known the power supplies and additional pine would cause a 2 month delay, I wouldn't have ordered it. 
I know they are busy shipping more boards, but could I at least get a confirmation that one board has been shipped?

I got my Pine A64 up and running with the lastest android sofware they provided. The hiccup i had was that i had the OS image in the drive i was putting it on while burning the image. Wifi module works. I'm using a keyboard and mouse. Using my Nexus 6 charger base for the powersupply. Just curious of how many people got theirs running? Looks like a lot of people are having problems.

So I've got my system up and running with Android, and I cant figure out how to get the wifi to work. Maybe i've installed it wrong. You only have to connect the module to the board right? Also the cord thing looks like it might be a sticker? What sup with that?
