I just made an Arch Linux image with XFCE GUI using longsleep Arch Linux Image  version 20160304-1.

For more detail on the image, please refer to our wiki page at http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pine_A6...20160304-1

I just read on another review site that the Pine64 doesn't have CEC capabilities over HDMI. Is this true? RasPi has this. Is it a hardware issue or software issue? Can I compile libcec on Pine and expect it to work?

I was planning on using Pine64 as my new media center but lack of CEC will make that a tough thing to accomplish.

Hello,

I'm porting RSB (Reduced Serial Bus) driver for PMIC development.
In mainline kernel, it seems RSB driver is supported. According to RSB DT bindings, it requires clock gate and reset line.
However, I can't find them in Allwinner A64 user manual. I think register information below should be described in the document but nothing.

    Clock gate number (PLL_XXX_CTRL_REG)
    Reset register information (BUS_SOFT_RST_REGX)

Both DT properties are mandatory in the driver, so RSB subsystem will not work without these specifiers.
Or Am I missing something?

Best regards,
Milo

Will the PINE64 be able to load custom EL2 (Hypervisor) and EL3 (Secure Monitor) code? One of the reasons I'm buying the device is to get more familiar with the ARM64 architecture, and I'm very interested in how the Hypervisor and Secure Monitor modes work. 


Similarly, are there any other restrictions as to what code can run? Can we program directly on the bare metal with our own bootloader, OS, etc?

Hi

Someone succeed to run Pyload on PINE64 ?

or similar application

Hello,

If you're interested in using a Docker for Pine64 kernel development, please take a look at the page below.

http://milokim.github.io/lbb/establing-b...nv-pine64/

I hope it would save your time to set up build environment such like installing a cross compiler, getting mainline source and making a kernel image.

Best regards,
Milo

i have created a danish Pine A64 user group at facebook.

If interested please check this link and join the group:

I don't buy battery for the moment, but later in june ou july.

I would like to know the consumption of the board, and approximately how long we do with the battery ( 8000mah) for video use.

thank you.

Hello,

I would like to know if the Pine64 will support the standart 4:3 and 16:10 resolution modes (1024y768, 1280x800, 1440x900 ...) running Android.

At the moment there is almost no platform supporting resolutions beside 16:9 which would allow Android development. Which is very missfortunate, because it will be great to use stripped, resource saving android together with hardware accelerated WebView to create hybrid applications with tools like cordova/phonegap ....
