I Havant got mine yet (its on its way hopefully, my kickstarter pledge said "March").
However, i'd love to get a heads up with my project.
Is there a decent ARM Emulator out there that works with windows, so I can start creating an OS on an SD card.

VirtualBox and VMWare doesn't have Processor emulation.

I know QEMU does, but that seems to have some weird Voodoo and it feels like I spend more time figuring out how to use it or start a VM - than I do actually using it.  I'm sure its good if you have a PHD in rocket science, but I don't.
any help or hints would be great.

If I need to build a Linux VM, then use that to build the OS for Pine64, then I'll do that instead.
(there seems to be a lot of stuff about creating ARM QEMU, but all the instructions are about building it under Linux - the forums seem to be riddled with fan-boys who aren't very "window users" friendly and start getting cocky when you mention "can I do this under windows"). 

I'm in Canada and cannot get the battery shipped to me and there's seems to be lots of confusion on which batteries will work.   Can we get a list of compatible batteries with links so we can order them easily? Ebay links would be great  .

Another question does the AC to DC PSU actually charge the battery as well?

Hi,

Was wondering if order would be shipped (to Australia) via door-to-door style courier, or if it would end up in Australia Posts' system? This impacts the delivery address I will use (parcel locker or direct to business).

Thanks.

I was wondering if I would be able to use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the wifi/bluetooth module? Would keyboards with built in mouse trackpads work?

I'm looking for contact to German users. Beginner Since I am still one could possibly help so mutually.

Hello, I am wondering what should I buy: an Orange Pi PC for $15 or PINE A64+ for $29.

What I know up to now is that the Orange Pi PC is generally cheaper and can do almost all things the PINE can do. Also if I order it now it will come within 15 to 25 days, while the PINE A64+ will come near May. I want to use it for a desktop computer. Not for a main one, just to be able to have 2-3 tabs open and some basic stuff.


The problem is I don't have experience with something more powerful than a Raspberry Pi Zero, which sadly cannot hold more than 1 tab open, but is brilliant for projects. That is why I am asking people who have experience with both SoC, or have more knowledge than me about them to advice me what should I buy. There remains a possibility for me to buy first an Orange Pi PC and later PINE A64+.

Thank you in advance!!!

I didn't get a good second look at it. Is there a connector attached to the wires or will I need to attach one? Thanks

Some bug is present in the current backerkit survey. As topic title says, t-shirt has some ridiculous shipping cost - $999. I hope we can edit survey later when it is fixed

Hi everybody,
just a quick question - does the Wifi/BT module contain an antenna? The Pine64 shown in the youtube videos has some kind of an antenna/wire.... Just wondering whether I should buy an external antenna with U.FL connector or it comes with the module... there is no info about it on the survey page...
BR,
Peter

I received the survey, and of course added several items.

I originally pledged $36 to receive the 64+ with 2GB, and I believe they were to ship yet in Feb.  I just did my survey and of course added some items.  I thought I was careful not to add anything that would delay shipment, but upon completion I see the survey confirmation I received says estimated lockdown date of 04/15/16.  After that my card will be charged and items will be shipped.....  Did I add something that bumped my ship date?  I went back into it and none of the items I added said anything about delayed shipping.  

Here's what I added:
