The EU is doing a survey on how they should engage with FOSS

I was trying to put together a self contained kodi box (pine NAS box   ) with three internal hard drives and I am having a hell of a time with it. LibreELEC is a no go because libreelec do not support the PCIe or wireless mod. I thought the ubuntu 18.04 minimal might be the way to go because I could build kodi on top of it but that did not work due to missing dependencies that would not install. I had the same thing happen in mate and armbian.  Are there any of the current Linux builds for rockpro64 that will support kodi? Would Manjaro work? Debian? Am I out of luck right now with the development in its early stages? 

thanks!

Got my Pine RockPro working and now actually wanted to use it in my garage with an old Monitor.

Today reveiceed the HDMI to DVI adapter and hapily connected everything together and no signal.....   Plugged the HDMI cable in my laptop and the old Monitor comes a live. So the adapter is working but somehow not with the Pine board.

Did some research and I came across some old posts that this problem is known. Only thing as a solution found so far is what I found on the armbian site.

They say:  If you use a DVI display don’t forget to define 

Something they don't really cover, or I haven't been able to find where it is, is what audio codecs will this work with? Aptx hd, LDAC, AAC or SBC? hoping for Aptx hd

This month's update is almost entirely about the PinePhone, but we also have news on the Pinebook Pro (including shipping info!).

I don't have much to say except that I was so excited to find this laptop. It is precisely what I am looking for. Low-cost, web, linux, light-weight and I don't need a google account to login.

Hi all!

... and good morning from Berlin:

are there any possibilities to have a reboot function on ClusterBoard with SOPINE modules?

just booted

Hi all,

I've got the v2 board and basically trying to do what the title says.
I installed U-Boot version "1065-g95f6152134" following ayufan's instructions.

- Booting with only USB3 rootfs attached ✅WORKS
- Booting with only USB2 rootfs attached ✅WORKS
- Booting with USB2 rootfs and all other USB ports occupied with non-bootable drives ✅WORKS
- Booting with USB3 rootfs and USB2 ports occupied: ❌FAILS

What I tried so far:

• Downgrading U-Boot.
  
• Testing with 2 different drives.
  
• Testing with two different operating systems: Arch (mainline kernel v.5.2.11 and latest uboot from official repo), ayufan's Debian Buster minimal v0.9.14-1159.
  

I just bought a rockpro64 board to build myself a little NAS (for fun and education purposes). However, I've noticed that when the rockpro64 is plugged in and running, it makes a buzzing sound. Not too loud, but audible if I put my ear near the board; makes me concerned about a faulty capacitor. Is this normal? Does anyone else hear this?

I've tested this without any components plugged in (except an emmc module). I'm using the 30mm tall profile heatsink, and the stock sockpro64 12V 5A US power supply.

Just want to make sure I'm not going to have a problem with the board soon (or fire hazard)! Let me know if anyone has experienced this or if I should try to send it in for replacement.

Thanks!

I've been running my rock64 for some time and this morning I did a routine update which partially failed...
