Well, the unreviewer pointed out that he did what everyone would do: Go to the download section on wiki.pine64.org and choose the OS images _featured_ there. Longsleep's weren't mentioned until yesterday so only outdated and questionable images were present lacking even the minimum amount of documentation (eg. "This is WiP, HDMI is limited to 1080p60 at the moment") Everything as expected given the current behaviour of the Pine64 folks that still do not *want* to provide appropriate documentation (listing all the known design flaws of their board) and raise surreal expectations. But maybe that's just how KS works and hardware guys can't do it better? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.

Usually engineers do understand it, but when boards sell to just anyone you will get a lot of negative feedback because many people expect it to "just work", or just don't have any clue what to expect. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.

It's recurrent with any boards. The Raspberry Pi people use censorship in their forums and just delete blatant rants. Still, the users initially want just *one* tested and known to work SD card image, a very simple tutorial and a troubleshooting FAQ. Just to make sure that the hardware is working as expected. Otherwise they tend to become nervous. Having too much poorly structured information and too many SD card images to try actually does more harm than good. -- Best regards, Siarhei Siamashka -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
