Hi,

When can we expect to see the 3D printer files for the enclosures, Id like to have mine printed by the time we receive our pledges.

Hi, I was about to finish the kickstarter survey, but I thought it was a good idea to first ask some stuff in this forum. Here go my requirements:

I want my Pine64 to connect to a HD that is plugged to my Asus  rt-ac68u home router via USB. The router is sharing files on the HD via SMB. It has the option to enable the DLNA server, but that does not seem to be working because I can't see it as a media server on the BubblePnP app for example.
I would like to use my android phone to control the Pine64 and stream video files (mp4, mkv, avi, etc) to my TV via HDMI.

I'd like my Pine64 to draw power from the TV via USB. 
I would like to use WiFi rather than a physical ethernet cable.
Also, I'd like to use my Pine64 to stream audio to an old stereo system via its AUX port (like chromecast audio would do).

Should I just add an enclosure, the wifi module and the 3.5 mm audio jack?
Do I need to include a microSD for them to install android on it or will android be installed in a different media that is included by default?

I will appreciate it if you guys, which are obviously more experienced than I in these matters, validate my idea.
Thanks!

My idea is to run a couple of servers on the Pine 64+ 2Gb (sync server, cloud print server, small NAS and a VPN server) and I was thinking if is posible to do an Access Point.

Can the Wifi/Bluetooth module make that (I mean the Official one)?

Or do I need another USB Antena?

So I'm ordering the IoT kit , and I'm very new to all SBC's . I'm just learning about all of this and was wondering if there is a sticky or guide that explains what the modules do. 

I feel kinda lost , I need to order extra boards for my sensors and those talk via wifi to the main IoT pine64 sbc ?

Android Image Release Version 20160216 is now available for download at

This version is for Pine A64 1GB and 2GB Ram board only.

Hi,

In the description of the z-wave module for pine64, it is described as a "z-wave" module, not a "z-wave plus". So this is an old implementation of the specs. Correct ??

Then, what API will be available ? z-wave is not an open sourced protocol, will we get an API licensed from the "z-wave owner" ?

The description of the lithium battery states that it ships internationally for IoT, Media Box, and Playbox packages.

Is this limited to a single battery or is it possible to order several batteries with a single playbox package ?

hello, are you guys working on a javascript library to control the GPIO or it will be the same as the raspberry pi ?

I Havant got mine yet (its on its way hopefully, my kickstarter pledge said "March").
However, i'd love to get a heads up with my project.
Is there a decent ARM Emulator out there that works with windows, so I can start creating an OS on an SD card.

VirtualBox and VMWare doesn't have Processor emulation.

I know QEMU does, but that seems to have some weird Voodoo and it feels like I spend more time figuring out how to use it or start a VM - than I do actually using it.  I'm sure its good if you have a PHD in rocket science, but I don't.
any help or hints would be great.

If I need to build a Linux VM, then use that to build the OS for Pine64, then I'll do that instead.
(there seems to be a lot of stuff about creating ARM QEMU, but all the instructions are about building it under Linux - the forums seem to be riddled with fan-boys who aren't very "window users" friendly and start getting cocky when you mention "can I do this under windows").
