Anyway, for an headless linux server it works rly well, with longsleep's kernel but that's about it.
The Allwinner SoC is pretty fabulous, really.
Well done team! (everybody, really!)

[#1 >]It is good to hear that *somebody* is getting their board to work well. ... I would consider myself very knowledgeable in doing this work and don't see how someone not skilled in the art would be successful.
[#2 >]Pine people: Documentation please! Just having random links in the wiki to downloadable bits and "wait for at least an hour" is not good documentation. You are only hurting your reputation by not having it.
(#1) I not only got my board running, I got my board running with (at last count) ten (10) images; no hits, no runs, no errors... if people are expecting the PineA64 to be a point-and-grunt appliance they are going to be in for a surprise; it does require some skill, it does require some knowledge, and it does require some patient understanding. Its a fine piece of engineering; but, its not a toy, and its not an appliance.
(#2) I think the PineA64 wiki page is one of the best wiki pages I have ever seen compiled for this type of thing, ever !! What more do you want them to do for you ?
... I have referred to that wiki page about 100 times (for various purposes) and I have referred other people to it about twice as many times as that ! Again, this project is not a point-and-grunt experience; you're going to have to read a little, and you're going to have to hit the learning curve with a positive attitude. Dude, its not that hard, but its not tinker-toys either !
