What's up with a minimum search term length of 4 characters? Given the common use of TLAs (three letter acronyms) in the tech industry, it's not that wise.

I would like to search for "USB", to see all USB-related posts, without having to worry about whether someone typed "USB2", "USB3", "USB 3" "USB three"...

I am not asking for a connector (that would cost money)

what I am asking for is this:

• At least Solderable pads that support JTAG
  
• Make sure JTAG is enabled (some SoC companies blow fuses to disable JTAG)
  
• Access to sufficent docs that are the chip specific JTAG (i.e.: Chain geometry, etc) 
  

Please consider a Raspbian-like build from Debian to run on this hardware.

May I first state that as soon as I heard about this board I backed it immediately. It sounds a lovely piece of hardware.

That said, I have purchased many boards that sound great but fail when it comes to using the board for anything except for the demo software installed. I bet a lot of us have been bitten there.

I would like to offer my experience with SOC to get Linux working on the Pine64 board.
I am familiar with compiling and developing on ARM hardware.
As an example of my work I was the first (only?) person to get the SAMA5D3-Xplained board working with a 4.3 inch LCD TFT display. See http://www.element14.com/community/group...lcd-bundle

I know that a board will succeed or fail depending on how easy it is for others to start using it and I feel that this board deserves more than becoming another one in the pile of "ah well" boards I have.

If you are a kernal developer, please post here your interest in working with our team and factory to port Linux OS like CentOS, Ubuntu, etc over to PINE64. Please use this thread to post interest in working with beta boards only and if you are available to help expedite the port process. 



Thank You

My friend and I are looking into using one of these for internet security on our home networks. What is the best option to add a second NIC?

Thanks

When the device is shipping, what development tools will be available to work with it? gcc? c++? make? configure? vim/vi? emacs?

What about scripting languages? Java? Ruby? Python? perl? lua?

Thanks for your time.

Hi guys, first off just wanna say I'm extremely excited for this project's completion and it looks like everything is going well with the funds reached 1600%+ of the original goal.

So I just saw this subforum and wanted to ask if any plans were in the works of building/coding a dedicated emulation software for the Pine A64+. I noticed there are no stretch goals for this KS campaign but I think that would be a pretty sweet one if it's not already been planned. My knowledge regards to coding is basically non-existent so even if there were tutorials on how to get started in this regard that would be great.

Also would something like this be possible to do on the preinstalled Android OS or would I have to use Linux?

Thank you for your time!

Hey there, 

I'm super excited about this SBC. I'm wondering if it would be possible for your team to boot the board with an OpenBSD ramdisk kernel and send me / OpenBSD arm developers the dmesg. The ramdisk kernels can be found here: ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.8/armv7/

As far as I know, the SUNXI ones would be compatible with the A64. 

If you require any assistance, please give me a shout.

Hey,

On Kickstart is stated that
"The updated unit has a gigabit ethernet port, 3.5MM Audio/Mic jack, 4K HDMI, and 2 USB ports. PINE A64+ includes touchpanel, camera, and LCD Port accessibility."

This touchpanel is the 7'' one?

Thanks
