please excuse the noob question but can anyone please recommend a good brand and class of micro sd card to buy to use with the PINE A64+ w/ 2GB SDRAM. I am very excited about receiving mine in March but very much wanting advice on the best micro sd card to buy. Any advice greatfully accepted thanks 

This question came up on the kickstarter comments page, if anyone could give a brief (or detailed) explanation of what the Euler Bus is and does, that would be great.

Saw some mention of dimensions in the 'Cases and Enclosure Question' thread, but I'm hoping for a nominal dimension solid model if possible, or at least a good print to work from. I'm a machinist by trade and want to try a few enclosure designs and the one REV B drawing is only for outer board dimensions which isn't going to do it. I want to be able to design and machine aluminum cases with integrated standoffs and the like. 

Will a non-STL* model be available sometime soon? I would like to start designing before the board arrives in March.

*(hopefully something like a STEP or IGES solid model, or dare I say SolidWorks)

Greetings and I am very excited about joining the pine-64 community. I was thinking of getting a pine-64 for pre order but have decided to wait till they are available in a few months and am currently planning on buying quite a few of them when they become available. There are a few things I would like to point out. I was looking at development boards for a while now and a lot of them do not have a cpu but more so the gpu horse power to do what I want to do with them. I was originally looking at a AMD soc to make a media computer and also a bsd wireless router as well as home servers and such. I am a long time Linux and current bsd user and there are a lot of projects I would like to try with Pine-64. As I stated I was looking at the AMD soc systems and they would cost about $200 to $250 to make a box and this is where I really got interested in Pine-64 as Pine looks like its got the horse power to do the same for less money than building an amd soc. As far as low cost development boards are concerned Pine-64 blows everything away in the $dollar to performance aspect. 

 As for the future and I must add pine-64 must be careful here not to overextend its abilities to deliver to market. However there are possibilities for pine to extend. There have been a few arm developments of late with and arm and others trying to introduce server arm boards and the like but have had a hefty price tag per performance. I am not recommending a server board but rather it might be interesting to see if it would be possibly to develop a carry on to pine-64 that is more cpu-gpu-motherboard orientated in that it would be a package to build a pine 64 soc type thing on a mother board at a very affordable level. The main part of this would be motherboard like function. This would mainly be in ram, seta, mseta support like in that it would allow for a arm cpu  desktop like mother board ability at an affordable price point compared to anything else on the market. That may be used to make free-bsd and linux wireless routers, Media boxes, game emulators, home file servers and other enthusiest projects. 

 Another aspect of this is to include the Linux and BSD communities to get involved with Pine development which already have huge web forum support to get involved such as Ubuntu, Debian, and free-bsd and PC-bsd. There are other aspects with possibilities such ad getting involved with GNU hurd witch is based on the mach micro kernel that could jump start ARM-Hurd micro kernel development. There are a lot of possibilites. 

 This may be jump started with a new Kickstarter product as an other development of the Pine-64 like system for home project use. Its just a interesting idea but it looks like the Pine-64 package can deliver this to home users. And the last aspect could be a low cost mini computer with say Ubuntu as a os sounds really interesting.

Hello,


I was wondering when the Pine64 online retail store will be available. There was a link for shop.pine64.com in the FAQ but it's a broken link... when will it be functional?

Hi there,

each Android device has a few buttons like "Power", "Volume+" and "Volume-".
These buttons (especially "Power") are necessary to control the Android system.

How can we use these buttons for Android on Pine64?

Best regards
Julian

I would like to know what is the operating temperature?

0°c/ 70°C?

Hello

I am curious if the CSI lanes on the Pine64 are compatible with existing Raspberry Pi CSI inputs like their camera, the NOIR camera, and other inputs like Auvidea's HDMI Input via CSI.

Thank you.

Hi there!

I already asked something about possibility of dualboot.
This seems to be very tricky, but maybe we can use software for Raspberry Pi for it.

I found the software "berryboot" to boot different operating systems from only 1 (Micro)SD card.

I've no idea if it'll works, but we should give it a try.
I would try it for myself, but I'll get my board first in March. So, I please the community to test this software or give a statement about this possibility.

Best regards
Julian
