Pine64 tries to boot but shows pixelated box
#1
Hi, first off I am brand new to this. I just got my Pine64 this week. Also, I have a Mac and I have tried putting RemixOS and Android on the SD card with the Mac using Apple Pi Baker. Both times, I see the logo (either android or pine64) and then it shows a box that looks very pixelated. It tries to reboot once and then after that it shuts itself off. 

I just want to make sure I don't have any other problem. I am currently downloading RemixOS on my Windows laptop and I am going to try PhoenixCard. It is a really slow computer so it is taking a much longer time than my Mac did. I just wanted to see if anyone had any quick thoughts about what could be going on.

I'll try to answer as many questions as I can and I am really trying to learn all of this. I'm not new to computers, but I am new to Pine and I am not a developer.

Thank you!

Please make sure your power supply rate 2A or above. Looks like Pine A64 run in a marginal power condition.

I bought the power supply through Pine64 kickstarter campaign.

Thanks on the head up. If the board is 512MB one, Android and Remix OS not suitable to run on this board. Please try Debian or ArchLinux.

No, I don't have the 512 version. I have the 2GB version.

I tried RemixOS again, this time with a Windows pc. PhoenixCard said it wouldn't work so I downloaded that Win32 program and used it. I don't have another microSD but I did buy this one from Pine64.


Thank you!

I'm sorry. I could've sworn I got another version, but I only have the 512 so that explains it. I apologize. I went back and checked and sure enough I do. Crap.....
