Does anyone know the process of getting a new one? Do Pine have an RMA process?
Please PM me and I will ship out a new Wifi/BT module to you.
I have this exact same problem and I've spent about 5 hours today trying to get it figured out. But no luck and I have to resort to message board posting...
Pine64 2Gb. Can't boot into Arch or Remix (20160227 or 20160415) with wifi module plugged in. Multiple power cables don't do it, neither does offic. Pi3 power supply.
Ethernet boots just fine, but wifi = endless bootloop.
From description, seems like you have a marginal working power supply or USB cable with Pine A64 board. When Pine A64 board boot up and certain point needs to draw more current, teh power supply stall and reboot. Since youi have try out several power supply, please check the USB cable.
I've now tried two different power supplies (had the Rasp Pi3 one and an older 5v 2.5a) and 2 different cables (as well as both combinations). All combinations power up Pi and have no power supply issues with other devices. As I said, the device powers up with ethernet just fine (including while also powering a usb hub), but boot loops with wifi.
