I have downloaded the Android 9.0 SDK for the ROCKPro64 from the Wiki and am now trying to build it.  I am able to compile it successfully, but it does not boot.  The power light comes on, and I can read from the serial console, but it does not seem to finish booting.  It gets at least as far as starting adb, because I can access the device through the adb shell, but it is stuck in recovery mode, and there is no HDMI output.  I have attached the logs from the serial console and the kmsg:

  serial_console.txt (Size: 10.79 KB / Downloads: 726)

  kmsg.txt (Size: 85.94 KB / Downloads: 863)

I also find it interesting that the prebuilt Android 9.0 image found on the Wiki does not boot for me either, so perhaps it is a bug in the Android 9.0 SDK?  I don't have the same problem with the prebuilt Android 8.1 image - it boots without issue.

The configuration I'm using for the build is as follows:

Lunch: rk3399_mid-userdebug
Arch: arm64
Kernel Config: rockchip_defconfig
Kernel DTS: rk3399-rockpro64
Archv: aarch64
U-Boot Config: rk3399_defconfig

Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong or if there is a fix for this issue?

I was searching for a cheap and good wireless mouse for my PBP and also other ultrabook and so far found this as s best.

There are multiple colors, it is compact, cheap and rechargeable and quality is good for my needs. I ordered silver and matte black and both look very good.

If you're considering getting the LCD for the original Pine64+, or perhaps later versions, please consider this.

My Pine64+ is the kickstarter version with 2gb ram. Due to lack of spare cash when I first got the Pine64, I've tried to do this on-the-cheap, by buying unofficial accessories and (trying to) get them to work with the Pine64. Due to challenges with getting non-Pine64-sold WiFi to work, I ended up getting the official WiFi from Pine64.org, and assumed that would go a lot easier (it did), and assumed the same of the LCD touchscreen panel (it very much did not). I also got the 5MP camera. (Jury is still out on that.)

My Pine64 has gathered dust, mostly, and run BOINC some, and I've tried various OS's. My dream, however, is to get a working "Kitchen Computer" that will track various household things, fairly distribute chores to household members, show & edit Google calendar items for the family, edit our individual to-do's, birthdays, track taking meds, feeding the pets, if it's a recycle/bulky-trash/trash day, how long it's been since something got changed (A/C filter, oil filters), and so on. Google and Amazon have since developed similar ideas, but my dream idea (which has similarly gathered dust) is something that I can program myself, and can excel in ways that the lame, pathetic, limited-imagination programmers of Google & Amazon & their users would never dream or at least bother to do (well).

For years (?), I've known that the official (Pine64-sold) LCD touchscreen panel is a steal, compared to RasPi, etc. What I didn't know was why it was so inexpensive (or who was doing the stealing). 

The LCD arrived along with the WiFi and camera. I noticed that the 7" LCD touchscreen has a slot for a camera to go in, but the Pine64 5MP camera is much too big to fit. (Could you make it fit, somehow?) I decided to get them working one at a time, the WiFi first. It was pretty much a no-brainer. Then the LCD. Nothing. Black screen.

I vaguely remembered there being separate Pine64 images for HDMI and LCD output. So I researched into that, and was greatly disappointed in the support of the community for something I thought that (surely, by now) would be supported: the original Pine64+ running some form of Linux with the LCD touchscreen.

(Could you get a non-standard touchscreen, with matching ribbon connections?)

The research came up with:

• modsbyus.com has a working Armbian image that used the LCD screen and touch interface
  
• earlier (standard Pine64) versions of Armbian worked with the LCD with tweaks to a text file (/boot/armbianEnv.txt), at least for some
  
• Some buyers of the 7" LCD have accidentally rendered it trash, by tearing a ribbon connection on it. I vowed that this would not occur to me and my precious LCD.
  

Just curious,  Could the speakers be reversed to point up instead of down  ? (They are mounted within the palm rest)
 From the pictures I have seen they do appear to be held in place by the edges of the speakers.  (?)
  Being slightly hard of hearing myself,
        I do appreciate my current laptops that have the speakers pointed up.
IF you have your laptop sitting on a soft surface, like the bed, or the couch, or your lap,
         it very effectively mutes the sound of speakers on the bottom of the case.

Hi.  Recently I acquired several Rock64 and among them a 4GB board that turns out to be a V2, the problem is when it comes to flashing and starting the board since it freezes and stops working within a few seconds.  I have searched for information on the forum but I can't find a solution.  I need help before resorting to product return.  thanks, sorry for the Google translation ...

Hi. I am trying to install ArchLinuxARM on the emmc module to boot Rock64 v2.0 board. When i'm trying the following happens.

1. I flash three u-boot images, as in tutorial. It seems working, because...

2. When i power up the Rock64, it writes some usuall messages to the UART on the. So, as i understand, u-boot images are being loaded successfully, partition table is being read successfully, so the Linux Kernel starts and writes a lot of info to the UART.

3. But when the kernel attempts to mount root file system, it can't do this and throws me to the emergency shell. Where i try to read from emmc, e.g., using the command

I couldn't find any info on the forum so i figured i might as well start a new thread so other can find it easily. 
I see that the PBP is out of stock at the moment. I was hesitant at first, as customs are insanely expensive here in the EU. It would cost me about 270€ to get a 180€ laptop across the border, so I didn't order it. Silly me now regrets it. Can silly me expect another batch or is the Pinebook Pro gone forever?
Thanks,
Luka

Hi everyone,


I have installed Lakka on my Rockpro64 and I have a Roshambo case, when I start the system, fan, on/off, reset and led don’t work, the OS starts normally but I have to plug/unplug the cord. Also don’t see the system reading the Roshambo cartridge, it only reads it if I use an adapter to the usb. Any idea how could I get the case working fine? also would be possible to use a generic Wi-Fi dongle as I don’t have the dedicated module? 

do I need to add a script? I found this online

Thanks in advance

Hi,

With the recent manjaro releases I'm getting more into using my pinebook and realizing the EU charger feels a little bit cheap and cheerful, especially with the need for an adapter for the UK.

Does anyone have a recommendation for something a bit more solid and with a UK plug on it?

Does the pinephone have modem isolation? I saw renders of the PCB, but not any wiring diagrams. Is there anything available showing the isolation?
