Is there available any Qt5 build for this board? I am using Qt5 in my software development and if there is any possibilities to build Qt5 with eglfs support for this board than I will think to get your board in my project.

OK I have backed and paid for the Pine64 and I was left with the question of "What am I gonna do with it once I get it?" The obvious answer to me (and probably only to me) is to turn it into a local Open Sim server that I can remotely access over ethernet with my laptop and a viewer like Singularity or Impudence. This is because I am fed up with the borkiness that is SimOnAStick.

With SimOnAStick you have to boot up an instance of Mowes, which creates a temporary Apache and SQLLite server, then you boot up the OpenSim executable before finally running your viewer and logging into OpenSim on that. Nice if you just want to demonstrate a single region on a thumb drive without installing it to people's machines, but not so good if you want to have something bigger and more permanent.

Once a stable flavour of Linux is in the wilds for Pine64 I would like to get OpenSim properly installed on it then turn that into an OpenSim Distro so others don't have to mess around to get everything working out of the box.

The thing is, I am competent enough to use Linux but not enough to create a new distro, so I was wondering if anyone else here was up for the challenge to make a "PineSim" Linux Distro that has Open Sim working out of the box.

The dependencies for OpenSimulator (to give it its proper name) include Apache and a database like MySQL (or SQLLite at a pinch), as well as the OpenSim server program.

Anyone up for the challenge just hit me up - I have left my email findable on this board.

Hi all,

My intention is to get half a dozen PINE64 boards and build them up with a simple media centre on external USB hard drives then give them to relatives and friends.

I have been looking into OSMC as a nice friendly option (simplicity and ease of use are more important than deep functionality such as Kodi has at this stage for my target user media centre experience level), however I have been reading about lack of hardware support for Allwinner chipsets on Linux-based OSs. 

I know there are negotiations underway with Allwinner fom PINE to hopefully improve this situation, so I was just wondering if there was any further information available about a roadmap or intention for OSMC being compatibile on PINE64?

And is anyone else interested in this combination?

Hello everyone.

I am planning to consolidate all the projects that are related to Pine64 into one central repository. This will make development of the Pine64 software easier as the developers can get all the source code needed from one place instead of having to go so many places to get the entire source code.

Is everyone OK with this?

I am not the most computer literate person in the world so if this was answered in another thread I am sorry ........  but I was wondering if there is support for a USB type of GPS ... or any type (if so what are they) ... I am hoping to create a car computer and was thinking of using a GPS app like Waze or something 

Thanks,
SeamusPadreg

Hi,

has anyone benchmarked the CPU and GPU of Pine A64+ for Gflops ??

-Amogh

I currently have a Raspberry Pi running RasPBX. I was hoping that I would be able to use my Pine64 as a more powerful Asterisk server that would hopefully be able to support more concurrent calls.

As everyone else has been saying, when get my board, I look forward to seeing if I can get Asterisk and FreePBX installed.
