I'll as the dumb question first so it's asked... is the module plugged in the right way around? It has a 7x2 header on one side and a 8x2 on the other, so it is 'keyed' of sorts... but someone still asked which way do you plug it in on another thread, so it isn't always obvious!
Do you have any sort of USB power meter you can use to see if the pine64 is using more power than it should? It idles around 250-300ma on mine, and can go up to 450-500 during boot, so anything over 500ma during boot time is excessive.
Also, what power supply are you using, and what micro-usb cable? Are they good ones rated for 1-2 amps?
That's my 2 cents to start with anyway!
Thanks for your reply, pfeerick.
The module was definitely plugged in correctly, as I viewed a number of images via Google Image search.
Also, I do have a USB power meter, which is connected to an iPad power supply, which registers ~5.1V and ~0.3mA during boot and operation.
Happily, after multiple hours of testing and tweaking, the Remix OS logo finally appeared with an "Installing" bar on the bottom of the screen and it was functional!
Unfortunately, I have no great insights beyond being extremely patient as this product is far from fully baked.
