Pine A64 Plus Fails to Boot

[MarkHaysHarris777]

yeah, but in their infinite wisdom they put a non-standard [3.5mm/1.35mm] barrel jack on the board which means to use it requires an adapter of some sort. or a rewiring of an existing jack/plug  PS setup. or buying the pine PS which i guess has the proper plug. i happened to have a plug to fit and made an adapter patch cord type thing so i can use 2.5mm/2.1mm plugs.  Mark, suggest to the engineers that they use 2.5mm/2.1mm jack on pine64

I agree with you completely.  I'm sure they went with cost of components not standards and convenience.

I was disappointed with the choice of barrel spec;  was really hoping the standard plug for the arduino would suffice for the pine board too.  We can still push this, since they have not begun manufacturing the new pine boards yet-- I believe.
