Pine A64

Over the years have been using the Pine64 2Gb computer as an automation server running with original Xenial Base Image [20161218-1] by longsleep. This is a first generation Pine64 2Gb computer that I got during the start up of the company. Currently utilizing a 2 AMP 5VDC PS connected to the Euler bus, heatsinks on the top and bottom of the board and a boot up 100Mb mode. It would run fine for months then occassionally wouldn't start on boot. Recently redid the box using Armbian. | _ \(_)_ __ ___ / /_ | || | | |_) | | '_ \ / _ \ '_ \| || |_ | __/| | | | | __/ (_) |__ _| |_| |_|_| |_|\___|\___/ |_| …

Does anyone know where i can find linux headers for the LTS/Sopine, or an image that contains them? None of the images from the wiki seem contain the headers. I installed the Armbian legacy with 3.10.107 and was able to get Pine64 headers using apt-get install linux-headers-pine64 but they seem to be missing many files when i try to compile. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi guys, I am newbie, my monitor iiyama ProLite B2888UHSU is flickering random white lines on black screen. U-boot console was displayed correctly. Same flickering I have seen on stock Armbian Bionic mainline kernel 4.19.y (next). Only Armbian Xenial desktop legacy kernel 3.10.y is working correctly. Can you help me? Maybe I can fix it, too, but I don't know, how and where to start. Thanks

How can PINE A64 GPU hardware acceleration be enabled? Playing a 24 fps full HD MP4 movie is not working smoothly. Here are some results on Armbian Jammy cli from June 30 version 22.05.3 with only installing via apt-get: - mpv, best result, probably ~10 fps - mplayer -vo sdl/fbdev2, probably ~5 fps - cvlc, probably 2~3 fps - kodi, probably 1~2 fps - gst123, could not get it running because issue with ALSA The fps are sort of guessed. Any other software and tips for testing are welcome. None of the movies playing played sound. speaker-test also did not play sound even though alsamixer showed all is well. Tips for this please too. …

Hello, I am using Allwinner A64 processor for my use case. In that, I want to flash my custom os into emmc memory which is alredy worked in SD card. Currenlty we go thorugh below link: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/NOOB#Instructions_to_Flashing_eMMC_Modules we follow "xzcat imagename.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=1M status=progress conv=fsync" this command but we got input/out error while reading memory. Please check below screenshot.

Hi, I've changed the default console from ttyS0 to ttyS3, using the mainline kernel with overlay "/boot/dtb/allwinner/overlay/sun50i-a64-uart3.dtbo". Unfortunately when I run command "sudo shutdown -r now" (or sudo reboot) my pine shuts down instead of reboot (although the console output says "reboot: Restarting system" at the end.) [Hard reset reboot works with "reboot -f" using ttyS3 console]. Using the standard console I can reboot my pine without problems. What could case this behavior? Is it necessary to disable or kill a ttyS3-process before the reboot?

I have Armbian up and running very nicely on the PineA64+ 2GB board. Thanks to the community! Speed concerns aside, is it possible to attach a SATA drive to this board? What would be the recommended way to do so? It is the availability of large storage capacity that we need for our project, not blazingly fast disk writes.

Hello, I have Pine64 2GB I want to connect the temperature sensor DS18B20. How to connect it. Sorry for my English

I've been building armbian xenial images for my pine64+ a few times now and it works well. But I would like to switch to bionic if I can. I find it hard to find a good place of documentation for either the 4.x kernel or ubuntu bionic for armbian, specifically for A64/Pine64 boards. If I google, I see tons of forum posts with specific issues, but no coherent overview of any issues with 4.x kernels? And reading through 2-3 years of replies on some threads is a bit much to find the info I need. So what would or wouldn't work on a 4.x kernel on ubuntu bionic? Also, I am confused about who does what, and therefore where to go with problems. How are longsleep or sunxi involved …

Hello, First of all, thank you so much for putting these images together. Kudos to you all for some great work! Now on to my issue. I installed Xenial build and it booted up nicely to XFCE. The only issue I am having is no audio over HDMI. I know the display works for HDMI audio as my nVidia Shield works fine. Any help on determining the issue? If you need any logs, boot messages, and/or config files, let me know. Thank you in advance, Brian

Hello everybody, since an Softwareupdate some time ago, i m not able to boot up the Pine64 with any Image. It doesnt matter what distro, or what channel. Does anybody have the same issue?

Hi I have Pine64+ with LCD + TouchScreen - all from Pine team. I checked some OS, but only Armbian DE is responsiveness enough for me. Now, Armbian Jessie is on SD card, stable ISO with all updates and upgrades installed - 3.10.107-pine64. Change from HDMI to LCD done by changing pine64_lcd to 'on' in /boot/armbianEnv.txt I add gt9xxf_ts in /etc/modues and restart Pine64. But cursor doesn't move on any touch. I confirm that the gt9xxf_ts module loaded by runing 'lsmod' as root, but this module is used by 0 (nobody). I've checked which event is assigned and I got: cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -B 2 -A 8 gt9xxf_ts I: Bus=…

Hi, I brought new pine64 board and installing OS in SD card. This OS considering kernel 5.10.34 and now I want to modify some of the kernel features. For that, please guide me how to download kernel source and rebuild it for pine64.

I need to use a 10 inch 800x600 DSI display in a Pine64 project and I think the easiest way to do this would be to modify the driver for the Pine 7 inch DSI display. It appears to me that the display resolution is hard coded in this driver (panel-feiyang-07024di26a30d.ko) and not supplied by a device tree overlay like some other Armbian SBCs. In the C source for this driver, I see the following data structure which defines a 1024x600 screen size for the 7 inch display ... static const struct drm_display_mode feiyang_default_mode = { .clock = 55000, .hdisplay = 1024, .hsync_start = 1024 + 310, .hsync_end = 1024 + 310 +…

Hi, When will soon be ready for the Armbian Pine A64 Desktop Debian? Can I now install Debian xfce on the Armbian Pine A64 Server? and how? Thank you

Hi, Thank you all for so much work to fully implement the mainline kernel for the Pine64! So much is now working out-of-the-box with armbian, that there is no need to use the legacy version based on kernel 3.10. The pine64 does have CIR capabilities and the sunxi-cir kernel module is available, but we are still missing DT bindings for the device, although I see that an overlay file is present for the h5: /dts-v1/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-h5"; fragment@0 { target = <0xffffffff>; __overlay__ { pinctrl-names = "default"; …

I have been running Armbian on a headless Pine64 (the kickstarter one) for quite sometime without any issues. Last week I woke up in the morning and noticed that there had been a power cut. The Pine64 was on again but I couldn't SSH into it. I plugged a monitor and found the system hangs while booting with the following error: Error while loading shared libraries: lib system-shares-241.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00007f00 CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: init Not tainted 5.4.43-sunxi64 #20.05.2 Hardware name: Pine64+ (DT) Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x180 show_stack+0x14/0x20 dump_s…

Hi everyone! I'm trying to build my own distribution for the Pine64, and I use armbian as a working reference. I'm able to compile ATF + U-boot + Kernel + rootfs and the board actually boots and I get a console over the serial interface and over HDMI. The problem is that GbE Ethernet does not work. It appears that the 8211 phy is not powered. The good guys on the pine64 IRC pointed to the ATF, where the DC1SW regulator should be turned on in order to power the phy. On armbian everything works just fine. I think I messed up something in the build - wrong version / config / dts in either ATF, U-boot or the linux kernel. …

I'm using a Pine 64 LTS. For this I have downloaded the SoPine images Armbian_21.08.1_Pine64so_buster_current_5.10.60.img and Armbian_21.08.1_Pine64so_focal_current_5.10.60.img Both images boot normally (including network connection), but after the update (apt update, apt upgrade) no IP4 network connection is established for eth0. For help I am very grateful for any help.

Found an interesting way to keep the Pine64 cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFq1EbWOfYo

Running Armbian Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 on a PineA64, legacy kernel 3.10.105-pine64. Why is it necessary or desirable to put the variable 'ethaddr' in armbianEnv.txt? I thought the hardware mac address would be detected by the kernel. Perhaps not?

After a fresh armbian installation + armbian-firmware-full package, the pine64 bluetooth doesn't work because the rtl8723bs_config-pine64.bin file is missing. I've downloaded the file from https://github.com/anarsoul/rtl8723bt-firmware/tree/master/rtl_bt into /lib/firmware/rtl_bt and it works so I've created a PR here https://github.com/armbian/firmware/pull/14 to add it to the firmware package so it can work out of the box. Let me know if I need to do something else for the PR to be merged. Thanks.

My Pine64 boots using Armbian_5.30_Pine64_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.10.105_desktop. I have added pine64_lcd=on to /boot/armbianEnv.txt and updated the module file. But now when I plug in HDMI nothing displays on the HDMI screen. I also can not see it as a secondary display. Is it possible to have both displays on or can I only have one, having to remove LCD if I want HDMI output?

Are there any plans of creating an image incorporating an mainline 4.xxx kernel for the pine64 boards? Kernel.org states the projected EOL for the 3.10 kernel line as october 2017.

I have looked up relevant information on Google. Since 5.6, pine a64 already supports dsi in the kernel mainline.And the Feiyang FY07024DI26A30-D 7inch MIPI-DSI LCD Panel driver and dts already released. But the 7inch lcd above is a video mode panel.I can not found any information about the command mode panel. Is pine a64 mipi-dsi supports command mode from the kernel mainline? Any help is appreciated!!

This is only my perception. I have this three SBC.: PINE 64 +, Nano PI A64, Banana pi M64. Everything on A64 allwinner chip. Armbian Image for Pine 64 works both Pine and Bananapi M64. But does not work NANO PI A64. Other third party software ( systems ) Remix, Ubuntu, work pine and banana pi and dont work nano pi. Only android 5.1.1 works on these three SBC....

Everytime i reboot and/or turn-off both of my Pine A64, they dont boot again until i manually turn-off/on them a lot of times, is there any fix to it? the img i use is: Armbian_5.35_Pine64_Debian_jessie_default_3.10.107.img

I have a feeling this was caused by a p[roblem with the definition of ftdfile variable: line from boot.cmd: load ${devtype} 0 ${fdt_addr_r} ${prefix}dtb/allwinner/${fdtfile} from the serial output: File not found /boot/dtb/allwinner/allwinner/sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dtb ** note the duplication of Allwinner. Since I couldn't find where it was defined , I just copied the allwinner directory into itself.....:-) which fixed the problem. Perhaps someone could look into this? thanks.

I've got an Pine64 a that was one of the Kickstarter models. For a couple of years I've been running OctoPrint on it to run my Qidi i-mates 3d printer. Recently I decided to update from jammy to noble, before I did that I made a backup of my OctoPrint settings and files through the OctoPrint GUI in case of problems. I got a really messed inconsistent with all sorts of dependencies errors because the apt dist-upgrade seemed to freeze and after several hours of no movement I rebooted. As expected it was the mess. I spent about an hour on fixing dependencies but decided it just wasn't worth it as the only thing running is OctoPrint. When I went to restore OctoP…

Hello, I downloaded the latest 20.04 image for Pine64+ and I am not getting any audio from youtube for example. I can see in the Volume Control window in the Output panel an audio level meter moving and the application Chromium. But still get no audio from the TV.

Hi I set the DSI format to RGB888. However, looking at the output of DSI seemed to be BGR888 format, why?. About DSI format I confirmed the Allwinner A64 SoC specification, but I did not understand it well. The software and hardware used are as follows. software: Armbian hardware: Pine A64-LTS Thank you.

https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/ It gets the same cpu as the pine64. If you have a pine64 can it run common programs like firefox, vlc, libre office, gimp and jitsi? Is the pine64 as fast as the orange pi one?

Hi How do I change the DSI clock for Pine A64-LTS ? Thank you.

Hi, on latest Armbian 23.11.1 Bookworm with PINE64 board I noticed those warnings in journal: Feb 12 10:00:45 pine64 systemd[1]: /lib/systemd/system/systemd-journal-upload.service:33: Unknown key name 'RestartSteps' in s> Feb 12 10:00:45 pine64 systemd[1]: /lib/systemd/system/systemd-journal-upload.service:34: Unknown key name 'RestartMaxDelaySec> I suspect the `systemd-journal-upload.service` is not in tact with systemd daemon version installed.

Hi, just want share a little experiment I am doing to try to solve my Pine64 Boot Crash/Freeze Problem using a external (MCU) microcontroller to assist it. [MCU and Pine Drawing] [Actual Prototype Photo] The idea is very simple, just "watch" the SystemLED to detect if the system is booting normally, and if NOT, then issue a hardware reset, then, keeping repeating this process until the SystemLED indicates that the system is booting up...

What's the current status of 5.30 on Pine64 mainline? I've a spare Pine64 lying around and was considering compiling latest Armbian for it to poke around a little, test things if that's useful to the dev effort. The downloads page lists support as experimental, but the version there is 5.27 and some of the info seems out of date, ie points to the wrong subforum, etc.

Hello , i have used now for some year armbian for this board, very many thanks for that; lately have updated to newer version Debian Trxiie and found that "htop" report a higher CPU usage after freshboot (around 50%) whereas previously it sat a 10% probably; now when evoking htop it gives (CPU offline for core 2-3-4) also nproc report "1" instead of "4"=? not sure if this an error ; noticed a similar report of nproc also with a build of volumio; thank you very much;

I'm currently looking into a new project which will use (hopefully) the Rpi Waveshare hdmi based 4" lcd touch screen, linked to the pine64/Sopine I'm at research stage, and will be looking into using a current 5.x kernel. If anyone has any info on the waveshare lcd's I need to watch out for or suggestions to get further info (specifically the touch driver side), please post a response. Progress on the project will be posted here, links will be added once I have some basics running. This can hopefully open up the waveshare displays to other devices. @Igor Yes I've read This post but am willing to do what I can to get Armbian to support the d…

Hello all you awesome community members! So I got this Pine a64+ during their Kickstarter campaign. Initially I used it as a little play desktop. I never really found a use for it until very recently. I decided to use it as a little software Squeezebox client. I installed Armbian 22.04 server. I then setup alsa to use the HDMI audio as default output. I installed squeezelite and it immediately found and connected to my LMS (Logitech Media Server) running on my server. At this point I figured all was good. The sound was working great through my receiver. The next morning (Sunday) the kids could not get the TV sound to work. So of course …

Not sure if this has been reported - the usual way of enabling spi overaly "overlays=spi-spidev and param_spidev_spi_bus=x" seems to be broken and when an overlay fails at boot time, it tries to load the base dtb from /.../alllwinner/allwinner/*, note the extra allwinner in the path - so it fails. The pin definitions for the Euler SPI are wrong. When you manage to get both SPIs up. SPI 0 is being enabled as spi1.0 and SPI 1 being enabled as spi0.0. It also fails to merge board neutral ili9341 SPI definition files (at boot time) that has always worked on H3 and H5 boards. To work around for now, use the following ( spi0.dts, spi1.dts) to get the spidev's up …
