Useful ways to use the PineCube https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=PineCube

Install experimental Ubuntu Groovy

First load Ubuntu onto the PineCube micro-SD card. Armbian provides a prebuilt image based on Ubuntu Groovy.

After install

Git clone this repository recursively as a normal user:

git clone --recursive https://www.github.com/ioerror/pinecube

Fix-up the current system:

cd pinecube && make fixup

Exporting the camera feed

There are many ways to share the camera or the feed from the camera. The PineCube camera doesn't appear to support H264 encoding, yet. It is possible to encode to H264 using approximately ~50% of the CPU. It is also possible to stream JPEG images from the camera directly to the network without re-encoding.

Ideally, it would be possible to run some set of services on the PineCube which allow the PineCube to appear as an ONVIF complaint camera on the local network. This is left as an exercise to the reader at this time.
