What is the chance to see in the future, a pinereader ? A reader like kindle or kobo ?
Theses screens are perfect for our eyes, to read books and theses devices have very long battery life.
Would love to see such devices in pine store 

Hi everybody

I have problem with RockPro init in maskrom mode.
Whe I try to set MASKMODE - my Linux machine connected to OTG port observe new USB device but cannot initialize it. The messages are:

I have got working USB device before but only one time. Yesterday I had the same situation - one time valid init and after reboot errors as above.
After night with dsiabled power first try todey - success but later it fails.

My bord is RockPro64 V2.1 2018-07-02 4GB
Linux - Debian 10 amd64

Does anybody have an idea what can be wrong?

When I attempt to process a video stream from an OTA signal that I know is valid using gstreamer, gstreamer will just sit in an idle state. I can verify that the signal is getting captured from on the board because if I use the azap tool I can see the data.

I tried to use ayufan's ubuntu build originally but because I was getting some gstreamer errors it was suggested that I build gstreamer from source, which I did.

To do this I switched to a fresh load of armbian buster minimal 4.4 kernel linked here: https://dl.armbian.com/rock64/Debian_buster_default.7z

After that I put together this script to build gstreamer from source: https://gist.github.com/grkblood13/6dd93...e11bf687bd

After building, when I run gstreamer to capture the tuner output I get the following results:

I've recently installed NixOS on my RockPro64, and since I've got the panfrost driver working, I thought I'd create a bootable image so that people can give it a try with minimal effort. Simply download and extract the image here and write it to an sd-card or eMMC using your favourite disk image writing tool (The image is 4.7GB, so you'll probably need an 8GB or larger SD card/eMMC). It should boot and automatically log into the KDE plasma desktop. (user is called rockpro64, password rockpro64). It uses the 5.3 ayufan-rock64/linux-mainline-kernel. It takes a minute or two to boot, so you may wish to follow its progress via the UART if you can.

This image can be used as an installer: simply follow the instructions in the NixOS wiki to create /etc/nixos/configuration.nix and run nixos-rebuild. If you'd prefer to build your own image, RockPro64-specific information can be found here.


Note: Normally, NixOS fetches most packages from a binary cache. However, since this image uses a different version of mesa, anything which depends on mesa (basically any graphical application) will be built from source.

Hello,

luckily I got a coupon code after asking for it (btw excellent support from pinebook@pine64.org) and could order a Pinebook Pro.

I only received a confirmation from Paypal for the payment with an order code.
Is there no order confirmation sent to the customer by pine64?
What are your experiences?

Greeting Adrian

Please, make it possible to conveniently develop Android apps on Pinebook.
As far as I know currently Android Studio won't run on a pinebook.

Thank you,
Ilya.

Is possible add one fpga on new Pine board?
Similar on Parallela. Not faster 25-100Mhz are good.
But power eficience. For emulators and games fpga will be faster than ARM
for AI or bitcoin too.
