Update : been up and running 19+ days now... I ended up removing the WiFi/Bluetooth "hat" - which turned out to be as useful as mammary glands on a male bovine - NEVER ever got the bluetooth going in Linux ever - $10 wasted money... oh well... $29 was pretty much wasted on Pine itself too :-)
Quite pleased with stability of Armbian running on Pine64 "headless" legacy kernel... most stable I've ever had any of this crudware from Pine working to date... THUMBS UP TO ARMBIAN!
I'm powering it directly to the headers - I might have another go with a battery as a "UPS" - but haven't had much luck with batteries and Pine...
Also - seems the 2GB model is somewhat overkill for this functionality - because it never goes over 1 GB RAM used by Java/Kernel/Apache in total...
My "other" 2 GB pine is sitting in a Lego "playbox" with 7" LCD - but haven't had any luck getting that going... But everything about Pine64 seems so flaky compared to Orange PI, Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi and NTC CHIP... everytime I hit a snag, then another one, I give up in frustration and use some other more reliable SBC...
