== What You’ll Need to Get Started ==
The '''SOPINE''' is a compute module powered by the same quad-core ARM Cortex A53 64-bit processor used in the PINE A64 with 2 GB of LPDDR3 RAM memory, power management unit, SPI flash and integrated bootable microSD slot. The module features a SODIMM-DDR3 form-factor and can be paired with either the [[SOPINE Baseboard]], the [[Clusterboard]] or a custom host PCB for industrial or other embedded applications.


You will need the following to get started with using your SOPINE Board:
The SOPINE module has a five-year LTS (long-term supply) status, which means that it will be supplied to 2022 at the very least. There is a one-year warranty period for the SOPINE module. It is fully compatible with the PINE A64-LTS in terms of software support
* Windows / Linux PC or MAC with a SD Card Reader connected to the Internet.
* Power Supply (PSU) and Barrel Cable. Please make sure to use a PSU rated at +5V @2A and a barrel cable that is at least 26 AWG thick.
* MicroSD card (8GB or higher capacity) rated 'class 10' or better.
* HDMI cable (unless you wish to run headless / without a monitor). '''N.B'''. Android and Remix OS support 720p and 1080p, while Linux supports a [https://github.com/longsleep/sunxi-disp-tool#available-hdmi-output-names wider range of resolutions].
* Input device(s) such as: keyboard, mouse, remote, pointer, etc.


== Software releases ==


== Step by Step Instructions ==
Under [[SOPINE Software Releases]] you will find a complete list of currently supported operating system images, which work with the SOPINE, as well as other related software.  
 
'''Caution!'''
 
Please handle the SOPINE with care. Always hold the board by the edges and make sure to wear an anti-static wrist strap when handling the SOPINE. Touching components on the front and back of the board can result in an ESD discharge that may damage your board. Avoid placing the board on materials such as carpets, plastics or other surfaces prone to electrostatic build-up.
 
 
'''Begin by imaging the OS of your choice'''
 
You will require a quality microSD card (8GB or greater; class 10 or faster). There are many [http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=681 substandard and counterfeit cards] in circulation and even reputable vendors may unknowingly sell counterfeit microSD cards. Cards that do not meet the criteria outlined above are known to cause a variety of issues including, but not limited to, complete boot failure. There are ways of testing microSD cards prior to installing the operating system to make sure they are appropriate for use with your board. The main utility for checking microSD cards is  [http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/H2testw.shtml#download H2testw 1.4]; yet another alternative is [https://github.com/AltraMayor/f3/archive/v6.0.zip F3].
 
Please refer to the relevant section below for instructions on how to image your microSD card:
* [[#Imaging microSD on Windows 7/8/8.1/10|Imaging microSD on Windows 7/8/8.1/10]]
* [[#Imaging microSD on Apple OSX|Imaging microSD on Apple OSX]]
* [[#Imaging microSD on Linux|Imaging microSD on Linux]]
 
Having successfully imaged your microSD card, insert it into the microSD slot located at the bottom left of the board / to the left of the USB 2.0 sockets.
 
 
'''Plug in the HDMI Cable, Ethernet Cable and Peripherals'''
 
Unless you are planning on running your SOPINE headless (without a monitor / as a server), you should plug in all necessary peripherals, including the HDMI and Ethernet cable, prior to powering ON the board. Do note, depending on which OS image you are using, some peripherals may or may not work. '''N.B.''' [http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=1127 Some HDMI→DVI/VGA converters may not work] in conjunction with your monitor or TV.
 
 
'''Apply Power to Your Board'''
 
Once you have imaged your microSD and plugged everything in, you are ready to apply power to the SOPINE. You'll need a good quality 5 Volt, 2 Amp PSU. Using a good quality PSU and barrel cable is very important as failing to meet the required specifications may prevent the board from booting correctly.
 
Having completed the steps outlined above the SOPINE board will begin to boot. The red onboard LED light indicates power on status. The LED will not blink during boot up and the color of the LED stays solid. The color does not change to signify an error.
 
 
 
=== Imaging microSD on Windows 7/8/8.1/10 ===
 
 
You will need the following utilities to get started with imaging the OS of your choice onto your microSD card:
* A compression Utility (used to unarchive the OS image). We recommend you use [http://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7zip].
* A disk image utility (used to ‘burn’ the .img to your SD card). We recommend you use either the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ Win32Imager] or [https://etcher.io/ Etcher] utility.
'''Optional'''
* Phoenix Card image utility (used ONLY for phoenix card images). You can download it from [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0cEs0lxTtL3VmstaEFfbmU1NFk/view?usp=sharing here].
 
 
'''Downloading and extracting OS image(s)'''
 
You can find all OS images under [[#Software_and_OS_Image_Downloads|Software and OS Image Downloads]].
There are two type of Android and Remix images available. Images designated ‘DD’ need to be imaged using Etcher or Win32imager, whilst images labelled ‘Phoenix Card Image’ require the Phoenix Card utility.
 
Having downloaded the required OS image proceed to use 7zip to unarchive it by right-clicking the archive, and selecting ‘Extract All’. Upon completion, note the destination of where the .img file was extracted (‘Downloads’ folder by default). Once the process has completed, you can proceed to imaging the .img file.
 
 
'''Imaging the microSD card (DD)'''
 
* Insert your microSD card into your laptop/USB card reader. You may require a SD → microSD converter, as most laptops and desktops only feature a full-size SD card reader. Once the microSD card is plugged into your computer, make sure to take note of the drive it has been assigned (the drive is assigned a letter, e.g. ‘F:’). You will need to remember the ‘letter’ it has been assigned when imaging the OS.
 
* Launch Win32diskImager.exe or etcher.exe. You will be presented with a field titled ‘path’ and a drop down menu labeled ‘device’. Click the ‘path’, navigate to and select the OS image you extracted from the archive earlier. Next, from the drop-down menu select the drive your microSD has been assigned. '''N.B.''' Pay close attention to the selected drive (remember your letter) – the imaging process will format the selected drive. If you choose the wrong drive all your data will be lost.
 
* Having chosen the desired OS image and the correct driver press ‘write’. Once the image has been written to your microSD card you will receive a pop-up notification. Be sure to close the application and to eject/remove your SD card safely from Windows.
 
 
'''Imaging using Phoenix Card'''
 
On Windows, you can also use Phoenix Card (for detailed instructions click [[PhoenixCard|here]]). The Phoenix Card utility works ONLY with images designated as ‘Phoenix Card’ in the downloads section. To use Phoenix Card follow these steps:
 
* Insert your microSD card into your laptop/USB card reader. You may require a SD → microSD converter, as most laptops and desktops only feature a full-size SD card reader. Once the microSD card is plugged into your computer, make sure to take note of the drive it has been assigned (the drive is assigned a letter, e.g. ‘F:’). You will need to remember the ‘letter’ it has been assigned when imaging the OS.
 
* Launch phoenixcard.exe. You will be presented with a ‘disk’ drop-down menu and a field denoted as ‘Img File’. Click on ‘Img File’ and navigate to and select the OS image have downloaded and unarchived. Next, make sure to select the disk that your microSD card has been assigned. '''N.B.''' Pay close attention to the selected drive (remember your letter) – the imaging process will format the selected drive. If you choose the wrong drive all your data will be lost.
 
* Make sure to select ‘Startup!’ from the ‘Write mode’ window and click Burn. Once the image has been written to your microSD card you will receive a confirmation in the ‘option’ window. Be sure to close the application and to eject/remove your SD card safely from Windows.

Front view of a SOPINE module
Rear view of a SOPINE module

The SOPINE is a compute module powered by the same quad-core ARM Cortex A53 64-bit processor used in the PINE A64 with 2 GB of LPDDR3 RAM memory, power management unit, SPI flash and integrated bootable microSD slot. The module features a SODIMM-DDR3 form-factor and can be paired with either the SOPINE Baseboard, the Clusterboard or a custom host PCB for industrial or other embedded applications.

The SOPINE module has a five-year LTS (long-term supply) status, which means that it will be supplied to 2022 at the very least. There is a one-year warranty period for the SOPINE module. It is fully compatible with the PINE A64-LTS in terms of software support

Software releases

Under SOPINE Software Releases you will find a complete list of currently supported operating system images, which work with the SOPINE, as well as other related software.

Pins and GPIOs

The following articles contain further details regarding the pins:

Troubleshooting

There is a number of things that can prevent the PINE A64(+) board from booting up properly. The most common culprits of a failed boot are (to find out more click here):

  • Subpar or counterfeit microSD card
  • Subpar Power Supply
  • High resistance (thin) or a very long microUSB cable
  • Failed imaging of the microSD card (refer to the respective ‘imaging microSD card section)

Make sure to have the newest version of the OS image your are running. On Linux, you can update the kernel and uboot using scripts located in the following directory: /usr/local/sbin

  • To navigate to the directory type (in terminal): cd /usr/local/sbin
  • You list all the available scripts by typing (in terminal): ls
  • To run the script required update script run the following command: sudo ./update_script.sh (substitute the relevant update script for update_script)

Supported Screen Resolutions

The pine supports a number of video resolutions under Linux, however RemixOS and Android images currently only support 720p and 1080p. Linux supports a wider range of resolutions (see all resolutions supported on Linux here). If the native resolution of your monitor or TV is not compatible with the PINE A64(+) then you will be unable to get a video to work with your screen.

Troubleshooting Step by Step

Follow these steps to determine the cause of your problem:

  • Check your PSU and barrel cable ratings
  • Download and image a base image of Linux
  • Plug in Power and Ethernet into your Board
  • Watch Ethernet port LED activity
  • Check your router for SOPINE IP
  • Attempt to ssh into the SOPINE from your computer

If neither of the above mentioned scenarios fits the problem you are facing, please consult this thread (thanks to Ghost for compiling the list): http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=680

If you cannot find a solution to your problem you can submit a ticket at: https://support.pine64.org/
