PINE64 is a community-driven company focused on creating high-quality, low-cost ARM devices and, more recently, RISC-V devices for individuals and businesses around the globe. PINE64 made its debut with the PINE A64 single-board computer, which successfully launched on Kickstarter in 2015. PINE64 has since released a multitude of other devices, including both development boards and end-user devices.

PINE64 has a large, diverse and active community, and offers a variety of resources for hobbyists and businesses to successfully leverage various PINE64 products. To become connected and involved with the community, please see Community and Support for a list of available channels and chat platforms.

Community and Support

Community collaboration and support is focused around the chat platforms and forums described below. See Getting Started | PINE64 for tips about how to get started with the PINE64 community.

Chat Platforms

PINE64 has a large and very active community. Community discussion takes place on a variety of chat platforms, which are all bridged together so the messages sent via one platform are sent to all other platforms automatically. The other networks and their users are represented by P64ProtocolBot.

PINE64 community is not some always responding, restless commercial customer service, or some sort of almighty existence that can resolve all your problems. When participating in community discussions, please be patient and do not expect questions to be answered immediately, certainly, or currently.
  • The activity of community members varies depending on the time of day and the number of active users.
  • Whether your questions will be answered & whether the answers are right and definitive, depends on the information you provide, and, after all, difficulty of your questions & community members' ability.
  • Read How To Ask Questions The Smart Way to learn more.
  • Please read PINE64 Community Rules and Code of Conduct.

Note:

  • PINE64 uses a bridge bot (matterbridge with some modifications), which allows Discord, IRC, Matrix, and Telegram users to see and participate in the community chat.
  • The bot name is "Pine64 Protocol Droid" and if you see this, look in the message to see the actual author of the message.
  • When the bot relays messages it will show the platform the user is using: [D] for Discord, [I] for IRC, [M] for Matrix and [T] for Telegram.

The community chat platforms are the following:

  • Discord: Use this Invite Link. All PINE64 discord channels are immediately viewable, do not need to join separate channels like the Telegram/Matrix table below.
  • IRC: The server is irc.pine64.org. Use /list command or the table below to see the full list of channels. Since October 3, 2023, due to abuse by spam bots, registration and authentication with NickServ is required before users can join channels.
  • Matrix and Telegram: See the table below.
