Simple Question, has anyone successfully booted a 2Gb Pine?
#19
I have the 2GB Pine64+ and Android is running pretty well after I got the SD card flashed correctly. Ethernet is working, stuff like Netflix/Youtube works great. I used the latest Android image from the Download page.

Archlinux also worked, and so did RemixOS (but I settled on Android in the end).

I found that I needed a pretty powerful power supply though.

The Pine is drawing around 4 Watt (peak, usually 1.5-2) at 5V, which means that you need at least 800 mA. Giving power factors and the fact that most cheap supplies tell you rubbish on the labels about what they can deliver) you should opt for one with I would say at least 1.2A. Check the labels on the supply under Output (should say 5V DC 1.2A or something along these lines).
The 750mA supply from one phone didn't work, but the 1.8A one from a newer phone does, so that may be the culprit for some.
