The only led on the board is a power LED, it starts to light as soon as power is available and does not indicate anything else.
DC-IN via Micro USB, keep in mind that most USB cables have a resistance way too high which leads to undervoltage situations. It is recommended to power your Pine64(+) through the Euler pins (see linux-sunxi wiki for details).
If you clone one Armbian installation for more than one Pine64 please keep in mind that the Ethernet MAC address will be chosen randomly on first boot and then saved in /boot/uEnv.txt. To avoid MAC address collisions you must adjust the address there or delete the whole ethaddr line.
If you use a DVI display don’t forget to define disp_dvi_compat=1 in /boot/armbianEnv.txt
Pine64’s own LCD with touchscreen support can simply be activated in /boot/armbianEnv.txt by setting pine64_lcd=on and adding gt9xxf_ts to /etc/modules followed by a reboot.
Debian Bookworm 24.8.1 minimal testing:
Boot from sdcard and eMMC (only from SD card, didn't test emmc) OK
HDMI is ok OK
USB2 ports are ok OK
Gigabit Etherner is ok, Tested on LAN with scp, likely limited by SD card speed (100% 1949MB 17.8MB/s 01:49)
Wireless ok, (stable but slow, ~5Mbps/s but router is far away as well)
Analog audio codec does not work (I did not check audio codec)
