What is the purpose of adding PCIE-x4 slot on rockpro64 ? and what is the speed limit ?

So as in the subject. It's dead after 8-9 months of light usage..., I wrote a mail to sales<>pine64.org. Waiting for response. We will see how things will go. However I hope that I won't have to put the case and emc module on a shelf...

Hi.
I've kickstarter's version of A64 vs 2GB RAM with LCD 7" and 2A power supply that was shipped with the devices
I've boot it up with Android 6 using HDMI succesfully, but when trying to boot it up with LCD connected, it doesn't boot up - the power led going half brihtness for a second, then full brightness and then off. Pressing power button getting same results. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I've waited since ~2013 when ubuntu touch was announced. And since then, I've only used Android.

Now that I've pre-ordered the braveheart edition, these next few months is going to feel longer than 6 years.

I made a mistake and wrecked my chromium and firefox installs and need to revert to factory state OS.  I downloaded the image from the repo for the same debian that comes pre-installed, but after burning to micro-sd it just sits on a black blank screen.  I left it for over an hour just to see if that was just initializing or installing or something but after I rebooted it the old broken version is still there.  

I got the aryfan build of bionic to boot up but it is a live os that can't seem to connect to any wifi (says bad password, even though I did it over and over and it was not a bad password). But it shows the card is being read and can be boot from.

I used etcher to burn the image of the debian mrfixit build to a 32gb micro SD but like I said it is just a blank screen.  Right now my pinebook pro is pretty useless, but it is my own fault for tinkering so much with it.  Any ideas as to why the image (pinebookpro-debian-mrfixit) just sits on a blank screen?  I wonder how they put the OS on this in the first place.

Anyways, love the pinebook pro otherwise, and thanks.

This is a minor problem, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

I'm running the Bionic-Mate build off SD.  The rkmpv Accelerated Media Player seems to have the best video quality compared to the other two installed players.  (I have not tried installing VLC yet.)  However, it automatically opens in full screen, there doesn't seem to be any way to exit full screen, moving the mouse to the top or bottom of the screen doesn't bring up a bar with controls or playing information.  Keyboard commands do not work well.  Sometimes pausing with the space bar works, other times it gets stuck.

Hi everyone I got my PBP and its cool, but I don't really want/need it anymore so I thought maybe one of you would want to buy it off me rather than have it collect dust. There's no defects that I can tell. I suppose this is the right place to advertise it? Hit me up with an offer.

apologies if this isn't the right place to post this

I may be a Linux noob on this, but I wanted to update Python. I pulled down 3.8 from the Python SFTP, ran configure, make, make install, and updated alternatives. I chose to make 3.8 "python" as I never use 2.7.

Whoops!

It seems the Pine Advanced Mate Menu is dependent on 2.7 being in place. I lost my menu and the pine key did nothing. A little time spent reading logs and I find a python error message. Set the system to use 2.7 for "python" again, quick restart, and my menu is back.

Still missing my MrFixIt update script icon, so I need to do a little more digging.

Anyone else hit this issue?

At http://deb.ayufan.eu/orgs/ayufan-rock64 there's no Buster.  I was careful to look for an Ayufan Buster image
https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...m64.img.xz But I worked with it for a week or so before I discovered there are no Ayufan repositories in the sources.list it contains.

I managed to get X running but without acceleration (modesetting works), I built the armsoc driver from source.  But there's still something missing because it gives me a black screen and in the xorg log I see
