The notes here, https://www.armbian.com/pine64/ talk about a beta image that has hardware acceleration enabled for the pine64. Unfortunately, the link is no longer valid. Anyone have a link to images I can use with the pine64 that have hardware (2d primarily) that i can use?

Click tab Nightly releases.

The latest desktop image has as much "HW decoding" support as was available in that beta image.

Currently only limited HW accelerated video decoding is possible, that's all. There are no plans to integrate the Mali driver.

I recently acquired an A64+ 2GB model with the optional WiFi.  I created an SD card with the latest nightly image.  Logging in I get the following:

 

Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.27.170410 nightly Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 4.10.0-pine64 

 

So far it appears to be functioning well except it doesn't appear to recognize the wifi.   ifconfig shows only eth0 and lo interfaces.  iwconfig also shows only eth0 and lo.  lsmod shows no modules loaded.  Running dmesg I noticed the following WARNINGs:

I didn't notice anything else in that would indicate the recognition or initialization of any WiFi.

 

Thanks for any assistance.

RTL8723BS Wi-Fi driver is not present in those (dev kernel based) images and needs to be compiled manually.
