  Shipping Progress
Posted by: TerryB - 03-03-2016, 05:10 PM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (1067)

Got a reply off FB as to shipping speed:

"We are currently shipping 500-700 orders a day"

So by my math they have about 4-5 people working at shipping them out.

Posted by: ronj1950 - 03-03-2016, 10:15 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (20)

Hello fellow Pine64'ers>

Google news picked this up for me>  The founder of Chromium OS said that their project is expanding and they are looking forward to bring the OS to all the major SBCs out in the market. The Chromium OS will be now available for Pi Zero, PINE64 and C.H.I.P and many more SBCs.

http://www.chromiumosforsbc.org/

The fun goes on .. I did order the pre-loaded android, remix {use already} and ubuntu microdisks...and of course 2 boards, and set up for tablet.

Regards,

RonJ


  Which OS will you install into your Pine 64?
Posted by: 7777777 - 03-03-2016, 03:01 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (21)

Remix OS is on the way to be created and may be ready soon, one admin said

I feel like installing this Remix OS for a multimedia-like PC to view streaming and so on

However I believe Remix OS will be more resources-greedy than linux distros for example...

Anyways, which OS will you install, and if you want briefly explain why, thanks


  Real-time linux kernel

Development of real-time kernel.

This thread created for all those interested in the development of real-time kernel. real-time Linux kernel will allow to extend the scope of possible application Pine64. For example in avionics (autopilot for drone), automation systems, etc.

Is the PINE64 Acrylic Open Enclosure case hardware designed in such a way as to make them stackable similar to the below image?

  Is it possible to have more than one screen?
Posted by: MostHated - 03-02-2016, 11:48 AM - Forum: POT modules - Replies (2)

Hello all, I was wondering if there was a way to have more than one screen? I have seen on the Rasp Pi people have used USB to HDMI out adapters with success, but they take away from compute resources and such, is there a way to have more than one screen (for extended desktop, not just mirror)? I have seen "video walls" using clustering, but I don't want to simply play a video, just extend a desktop.

If anyone knows of any way, I would appreciate it!
Thanks,

**Edit, is it possible to use both the 7inch screen connected to the board as well as an HDMI monitor at the same time for dual monitors?

Hello, I saw in another thread that they said if there was enough interest in a larger screen,  they would consider making them. I figure this would be a good way to gauge the interest.


  [REQUEST] Youtube video tutorial for dual-install Ubuntu + Remix OS
Posted by: 7777777 - 03-02-2016, 05:38 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (14)

Seems we would be receiving our Pine 64 now  Big Grin

Now, the OS seems an issue due to small developments and may take some time until a stable release is done? I miss kind of clear software support section by Pine64 staff

I request someone to publish (when possible) a step-by-step Youtube tutorial for a dual install of Ubuntu 16 + Remix OS 2.0

I think a minimum sd card with 16GB would be ok

Thanks

Lightbulb Server for filesharing to computer?
Posted by: LordCanti - 03-01-2016, 10:37 PM - Forum: Pine A64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - Replies (3)

So I want to make a low power server for my pc and phone. All I want to be able to do is create a cloud like thing with a graphic UI, but I don't know where to start. VNC is not what I'm looking for though, it only controls, and doesn't allow you to download from what I see.

Any help would be appreciated. Big Grin
