I asked about pinebook pro stats so far as well as other devices, but it was in the pinebook pro subforum, so I didn't get an answer.

Would it be possible to find out how many of each were sold:

Pine A64
pine a64-lts
Rock64
Rockpro64
Pine H64
sopine
clusterboard
Pinebook 11"
pinebook 14"
Pinebook pro: ~700

Just to give forum members an idea of how what the userbase is of each device.

Please and thanks?

Was there ever discussion about getting the rk3399 into a sopine module?

Anyone gotten this to work on pine products?


I've done some googling and theres's *some* activity with openshift on arm but only as recently as 2016, there's a bit more on docker and kubernetes on arm. I know someone else mentioned they were going to try it, thought I'd make it a formal thread.

After leaving my Pinebook, for over a month, I decided to fire it up and try out a new OS... Sadly however when I pressed the power key, I got a green light, then...everything went off.

I assumed the battery must have died and plugged it in for a charge...expecting it to power up while charging, but still nothing.

So I left it overnight....and this morning, nothing...no repose to the power key.

Is there a key combo needed to perform some kind of reset, or any other advice anyone has, it seems to be dead at the moment?

I registered for preorder July 25th and nothing came to my email. Its that wrong?
I checked all folders, including spam.

Thanks for help.

I'm running a little behind everyone else in getting one of these lovely machines (I'd like one after the first ones have gone and been tested) ;) , but the question I have is -- you have EU and US power supplies. What do those of us in NZ and Australia do? We are 240V 60 Hz.

Thanks, I know ther is probably a simple answer.

Hello

Do you know where I can find a generic box which can be fixed on a screen via vesa 7.5 cm ?
The idea is too put the rockpro board inside and maybe add a battery inside the box.

thank you

Is anybody on an up to date kernel? I am trying to stay current, rebasing ayufan's linux-kernel-mainline against Greg KH's stable branch. I ran into an issue with usb storage recently, though. Does anybody run a (mostly) mainline kernel? Care to share any tips?

After finding major stability issues with Manjaro, I'm back on Debian for my rockpro64 build. I'm trying auyfan's latest stable stretch minimal image. I installed Wayland-protocols and Weston, but I'm unsure what I'm supposed to do with the files from [color=var(--newCommunityTheme-linkText)]https://github.com/rockchip-linux/libmali/tree/master. I tried running what I think was the appropriate install script after installing dh-exec stuff but Weston doesn't appear. Instead, I get errors like "MESA DRIVER: failed to retrieve device information" "gbm: failure to open any driver"[/color]


I don't want to use x11. I'l like to try actually using wayland on an arm64 setup. I'd like to use panfrost, but because that's only in mainline so far, and the accompanying mesa 19.2 isn't ready for another few weeks, I can't. I have to use the Rockchip Mali binaries if I am to get a stable system.

I'm forgetting a step. What am I forgetting?

Moderators: can we add a Fedora subforum?

Fedora 30 installed on my Pinebook with only a few issues.  The main one being that brightness defaulted to 0 on the original aarch64 image.  :-P

I booted the SD on an rPi3 to do initial configuration, and updates.  Then used the dracut option to create a multi-platform initrd for the new kernel, and moved the SD card back to the Pinebook.  The newer kernel defaults to brightness 2 - so I took it into a dark bathroom to navigate /sys and set a higher brightness, and change the text console fonts to the biggest available.  :-)  Fedora uses upstream kernels, so it reflects the state of A64 support in the mainline kernel.  

I've been using it a few weeks now.  Here are the biggest issues:

 1) the biggest issue is lack of support for cpufreq on A64.  It feels like 500Mhz, but without any supported readout, that is subjective.  Bogomips is 48.0.  I don't know what the cpufreq actually defaults to, but let's just say I do aarch64 builds on a 1G rPI3...  What is needed to get that upstream?

 2) the second most annoying problem is lack of support for internal wifi.  This is worked around by adding one of those tiny EdiMax wifi dongles (the big long ones can pose a danger of geting caught on something and damaging the USB port). 

 3) the third problem is inability to read mic input.  The mics are active - because if you turn up the gain, they feed back.  And if you connect some speakers to the audio out, the pinebook becomes a megaphone.  However, ALSA doesn't know how to make the mic data available to apps like Sound Recorder, Linphone, etc.

 4) the internal bluetooth is also not supported.  It would be nice to connect decent speakers (the internal speakers are understandably tinny tiny ones) or headset without resorting to an audio cable or yet another dongle.

 5) the Mali GPU is not supported.  I just use LXDE, which doesn't require 3D, and video playback is fine (xorg reports video accel active).  So this is the least important unsupported feature for this user.
