My current TV setup is to have a raspberry pi2 running kodi, connected to a normal computer monitor. This is achieved by using a HDMI to VGA adapter similar to this: http://goo.gl/8VjJ6M

The adapter is not powered in any way. This was an issue with the original pi, as it would cause the capacitor handling the HDMI port to overload & stop working. But the pi2 can handle it with no problems.

I am interested in replacing my TV setup with pine64 running android, as it can handle netflix. But I need to make sure my adapter won't burn out a capacitor on the pine64 or cause other problems. Will this be an issue? The pi has lots of settings for outputting to weird stuff via the HDMI port. Will the pine64 be capable of this?

Thanks!

i Think i would be really helpfull if we can get sample codes to use the I/O pins on android and linux as well
so we can manage to build whatever we want from the botom up and using the capabilities of the board it self
such as  

i2c Serial
Spi
UART
GPIO
and if is capable of. PWM as well

I looked over the specifications for the LCD Panel and it does not accurately state the viewing angle.

Example good viewing angle: 178° (H) / 178° (V) - This is normally seen on IPS Screens.
Example poor viewing angle: 140° (H) / 120° (V) - This is highly common on TFT/TN based Panels.

Hi, I already have an enclosure that fits a computer board like the pine A64 pretty well. It's called a pi-top and it houses a raspberry pi 2B. It comes with a trackpad, keyboard, display and long lasting lithium ion battery (2-3 days of use) with power management unit. Since the Pi 2B and Pine A64 are so similar, could the Pine be used to upgrade the pi-top? Would make a cool upgrade if possible.

Looking for any great suggestions or ideas.
Thanks

Mark

I'm in a doubt... Will I get a Pine A64 or a Raspberry pi 2 model B.

But first I have a few questions.

1. Do you guys think that this community will become big enough to accomplish something similar?
   
2. Will there be software / hardware compatibility with the Raspberry?
   
3. How is the communication with Allwinner going?
   
4. Are you working on (with) other Linux distros?
   
5. Will there be 4k compatibility for these distros?
   
6. Is there going to be a 'manual' on how to use this board?
   

Hi

Will the Pine64 support DTS and/or DTS-HD? That would be really nice to now, considering I want to use it as part of my home-theatre setup.

Can I use the camera peripheral with android? If so would android automatically detect the camera peripheral if it is connected to the P64 (idk how it would) or would I have to code it in to detect that it is there?

Hi

I had pledged the campaign ($29). Is it possible to add modules (wifi/bluetooth, enclosure..., etc) before you ship. So we can save shipping fee?  

Thanks.

Hey guys,

What will be the chipset for WIFI/Bluetooth?

Thanks moon
