would this device work for the concept of some kind of parental controls unit?

i am looking into the possibility of connecting a pine 64 to a modem/router and then creating some kind of web interface that would allow parents or adults to

control blacklists
filter/block webistes like facebook during homework
schedule internet access for certain devices during certain hours of the day
an option to disable the internet for certain devices

would be interested to hear peoples views

As http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=335 says, "Android and Linux BSP 1.2 (2016-113) is available for download through torrent. The total size for the Tarball is 22.6GB".


Is anyone seeding this torrent at the moment? I have started downloading it yesterday, but now it seems to be stuck with only ~4GB remaining. Thanks!

Hey everyone!

In build the pledge for my Pine A64+, I decided that I wanted to build a bigger tablet, and have been looking around for a 9" touchscreen to use instead of the supplied 7".  (And I could get everything together faster.)  However, despite frequent searches on Ebay and Amazon, I have yet to find any alternative modules for the touchscreen in the size I want.  So, any suggestions on where I could look next?  Or is just keep looking on Ebay and Amazon? 

Or does anything like that exist in the $40 to $50 range with the right connector?

Does anyone know if you get a z-wave for Europe when choosing the EU plug option when ordering the Iot Kit?
Thanks for your help

So I'm one of the people who backed the Holiday Pine A64+ 1GB, and I wanted to upgrade it to the 2GB board.

However, I've been informed that if I upgrade to the 2GB board, my shipping date will be delayed further back. This is not a viable option for me.

I have yet to compete my survey until I can get an answer on why this is so.

The Wiki says:  "IR receiver (no need to staff IR connector, just reserved 3 pin connectors Vcc, CIR_RX, Gnd)  
What does this mean?   Is a IR receiver built into Pine A64?   Is any additional wiring or modification required to be made to the Pine A64 to be able to use the IR remote control with the Pine A64?

I looked at the schematic but it doesn't clear up the confusion.

I'm wondering if it might eventually be possible to have Pine64 with GitLab installed on it. They currently have a version for Raspbian Wheezy (https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/)

Hi,

I noticed with the 2GB addon that it says 'light assembly required'. Does anyone know what this will entail? Will this mean soldering is required or just plug in and go?

Please refer to the wiki at http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Main_Pa...nformation for the Pine A64 1GB Ram version schematic.

I've got my order in with the kick starter.

I've even downloaded the image from the wiki. 

What I've never done before is add a hardware image to the AVD Emulator. I'd like to be able to do this as my A64 isn't gong to ship until April. I've gotten as far as subjecting the archive to 7-Zip. the .img file therein it claims is corrupted.

I gotta believe this has been done before but I didn't see it. Can someone throw me a pointer? 

I assume it's going to result in files that go under the system-images/android-22 directory. I just need to get to that point.

Thanks in advance
