Hi all,

I'm working on small project where I need several serial ports (RS232) for accessing console port on NW switches/routers.
I have already tried several USB->RS232 converters connected over USB hub to PC and it works. Problem however is it causes huge "web" of cables.
Is there some module which would support lets say 8x RS232 ports?
I found in documentation for GPIO connector some UART pins, so at least 1x RS232 should be possible. But is possible to have them more from 1 PINE?
On forums related to raspberry pi I found some suggestions for FTDI4232 chip which can handle 4x RS232. I however can't built such module on my own.

Is there a plan to build module for serveral RS232?

Thanks in advance for the answers.

So I love the fact that the PINE64 has native support for LIPO batteries, but I can't seem to fine any specifications for charging.

I wanted to know what the maximum charge current available is.  It's great to have a 5-10Ah battery, but if you can only charge it at 500mA then it's a bit pointless.  I was hoping for at least a 1A charge but preferably a 2-5A charge.

I've built CM 13 for pine64.
Here is the first bootable ROM link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5NrIPX...sp=sharing
How to install:
-First you have to prepare your SDCard with PhoenixCard on Windows with offical Android image.
-Download and extract the files on Linux.
-Format system and data partitions on your SDCard as Ext4.
-Write system and boot images with dd command.

Note: Data is in first partition in SDCard. System is in 7th partition and boot is in 6th partition.

Known issues:
-Heavy graphical problems (Screen goes black very frequently)
-No wifi and bluetooth
-Drmserver crashes

Hi all

"We currently provide two types of frequency ranges: 868MHz for EU and 908MHz for US. We will produce 921Mhz for Australia/New Zealand region when there is enough request."

Just wanted to register my request for a 921Mhz z-wave module, this would make Pine64 a great choice here. If anyone else is interested please voice your support here too

Cheers

Hi, I am currently looking for the best Linux OS for my new entertainment center here is what I need

• Highly customizable
  
• Lots of apps (not fan made ones, ones that come from the devs or the company that make the program)
  
• Install movies and music to OS so you can play it. (Kind of the point of a media center right?)
  

IK that PicoCluster is mainly used for web servers and businesses but can this be utilized as just a personal computer? Basically what I am asking is that are the P64 clusters 3 different computers that do not share the same power or can you just run one OS and just get more processing power out of it, also if you can use it as a PC, can you run an OS on it and how hard would it be?

IK that is a lot to think about and I am sorry.

P.S. How expensive would the cluster cost?

I'm wondering if the pine64 can enhance my laptop to use autodesk inventor in storage and performance. Also could I double the storage and performance by simply getting 2?

Hello everyone,

My current favorite OS for the rpi2 is RECALBOX. It is easy to use and its the best one ive seen to run n64 on using the rpi2. My guess is that with the 64bit and 2gb version (which i kickstarted) it would run perfect. 

Anyone know if it will be difficult to make recalbox work on the pine a64+ 2 gb? If not I do not mind retropie or Lakka.
