Hi,

I am not sure what "doesn't see it means."  Are you following this general process?

  1. Download the image
  2. Unzip the image to reveal a .img file
  3. Use Win32 disk imager to write the .img file to a microSD card and verify that it completes properly.
  4. Insert microSD card in Pine and power on the Pine
  5. Ideally, you would plug the pine into a monitor via HDMI to watch the output as it boots.
Are you following that process?  I have used both the Ubuntu and debian images without a single problem and so can verify that they work.  (Countless others have used them as well.)  I am running Win10 as well.

Hi!

Looks like an issue with Network Manager in last (3.10.101 kernel) Mate image. May be the same as described on prev page in "no internet" question.

As I can see /etc/resolv.conf is empty after booting (only 'generated by NetworkManager' comment) so no DNS servers available and "Internet doesn't work".

The temporary solution for me is 'echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf'

Hi,
I have tried Debian Jessie on my Pine64 board and it looks fine. I need to cross-compile my application on x86 (or x86-64) host. Is it possible to download toolchain?
Thanks.
T.

You'll need to describe your host platform, but something like this: https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/g++-5-aarch64-linux-gnu

There's this, which should do the job: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+package/g++-aarch64-linux-gnu

I don't have a trusty install to hand, but:
sudo apt-get install g++-aarch64-linux-gnu

If you want to build it yourself from source, I think:
sudo apt-get build-dep g++-aarch64-linux-gnu
apt-get -t trusty -b source g++-aarch64-linux-gnu

RE: Debian Jessie Images (3.10.65 BSP Kernel) - UnixOutlaw - 06-19-2016

Can someone please clear up the massive spaghetti that is all the different variants and locations to locate and download debian images from?

There seems to be like 5 different places, all with conflicting information... There's the pine "shop" web pages with downloads, there pine.pro, there's sun-xi - and there's more...

This one https://www.pine64.pro/downloads/ "seems" to have more stuff and more "updates" than some of the others - however - under Debian Jessie - there are two "base" images - but different sizes, but both dated 8th April.

Can I assume that the wrong date was put against the "larger" one and that it is in fact later than 04/08/2016?

RE: Debian Jessie Images (3.10.65 BSP Kernel) - Blunt21 - 06-20-2016

Hi !

After some research I've come to understand that it may be possible to run packages built for armv7l on a linux built for armv8 basically running 32bit on a 64bit linux.

I believe this would require some change regarding the rootfs but that's as far as I got, I don't seem to find any more information on the matter.

My problem is that I would like to use my Pine64 to build a MagicMirror2 and this requires electron which isn't built for arm64/armv8. At first I thought about cross-compiling electron for arm64 but this seems to be quite difficult too for the newbie that I am.

So my questions are : Is this possible ? and if so how should I proceed ?

(P.S.: Thank you for your hard work, Debian runs like a charm on the Pine64+ that I have Smile )

The Images are pretty much what people want. The Debian Mate And XFCE images are the latest (and currently stable) I am have another set that will be released upon receipt of the Mali driver for the pine.

Pine64.pro is a work in progress as things are a bit busy in my personal life from time to time.

As for the multiarch (32 and 64bit) try sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf

What will be the best way to transfer current programs/settings/etc when upgrading to the new images, when available?

Thanks for the work you do.
