Is it possible to connect that classic usb wifi to rock64?
I see the Android 9 discovers the dongle (below) but wifi switch does not work under network configuration and there're no wlan interfaces. So this is another device not supported by that useless single board "computer" ?

i got the android pie 9.0 SDK in the wiki pine64 web page
page link : https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PINE_H64_Main_Page

but i cann't compile it.
where do i get the compile manual?
or
how is it compile?

Has anyone tried splitting the output from the sata power cable https://store.pine64.org/?product=rockpr...ata-drives to use with 4 drives?

It's unclear to me whether the output is supposed to be 3A per module or 3A total (1.5A power module).

With drives that have low current startup like the barracuda 2.5" I feel like 3A would be plenty for 4 drives if it was 3A per module.

The one thing that I missed on my old Pinebook was the lack of a good communication application that integrates all the services like Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, Skype, Telegram, Discord, etc. into one application. Yes, I could open all those web services in a browser, but it is not convenient.

As I know, Franz and Rambox does not have Linux arm64 version. Is there something similar that run on Linux arm64?

Hello.
I need preempt-rt kernel but preempt-rt patches can applied only to stock kernels.
So i have downloaded 5.2 kernel applied the patches and compiled it on rockpro64(no crosscompiling).
How can i install the new kernel now ?

Greetings!

I saw a post a few days ago commenting that the preorder PBP's were being sold at-cost as a thank you to community members (or something to that effect).  This brought 2 questions to my mind:

1: Are you planning on raising the price of the PBP once you open it up to the general public?
2: If not, how is the Pine64 project sustained?  While I'm all for low prices, "don't be evil" philosophies, and philanthropic tendencies, I also recognize that you guys need to make SOME sort of money in order to sustain the project.  Where do those funds come from?

Hi all,
 
I am a new on forum, and sorry in advance of my speack english which is so bad.
 
My project is to create a small device to scrap web site like amazon, this device will be set ON 24/24h and each day it will scrap again all webpage list.
To scrap webpage, I used Python3.6 with Selenium and BeautifulSoup.
 
I have trying Rapsberry Pi3+ and an Odroid XU4 to scrap more 10000 web site.
Pi3+ : it's scraps 100 webpage/H
XU4 : 360 webpage/H
 
The goal is to get 600webpage/H  
 
There are few days, I found RockPro64 with its multi quad core, and I thinks this device can be my solution to get my objective.

My cart:
ROCKPro64 2GB/4GB
7″ LCD TOUCH SCREEN PANEL
ROCKPro64 2×2 MIMO Dual Band WIFI 802.11AC/BLUETOOTH 4.2 MODULE
ROCKPro64 PLAYBOX ENCLOSURE
ROCKPro64 12V 5A POWER SUPPLY or ROCKPro64 12V 3A POWER SUPPLY
16GB eMMC Module

Before validate my cart, I want know how many time while take a Rockpro64 to open x webpage/H
 
Someone can help me and run this test (python) on RockPro64? And share me the elapsed time
 
If it is work, I will add in my cart x10 Rockpro64 

Thanks you very much

Hi all,

I want to use that ROCKPro64 system, with an Ubuntu server or Debian, as a 10 to 12 SATAIII harddrives NAS.


The idea is to use this controller card, which is a PCI-e 2.0 4x card with Marvell 88SE9215 chipset (1 PCI-e lane to 4 SATAIII per chipset).

I know that technically, the Marvell 88SE9215 is working on the ROCKPro64, but this controller board also use another type of chip, and I cannot find-out what they are exactly...

I you look at a close-up picture, you can clearly see that each of the 4 PCI-e lanes goes to the bigger chip on the center, then to the smaller four chips and then to the mini-SAS connectors (and then mini-SAS to 4 SATAII). But the 88SE9215 chip only takes a single PCI-e lane according to its datasheet, so I suspect that board to use four 88SE9215 chips and some kind of PCI-E lanes splitter in between to give each 88SE9215 a single PCI-e lane.

Does anyone have more information? Am I wrong? And more importantly, does this card works on the ROCKPro64?


For more info, I want to replace my old Core2duo based NAS, and I currently have 10 harddrives of 3TB to manage. I use ZFS-on-linux, which seem to work on ROCKPro64, with a 10 discs RAID-Z2. I know the datarate won't be extraordinary high, but I only need it to saturate the gigabit Ethernet with Samba shares, so about 100MB/s top.


[EDIT] Title and typos...

Hi Folks,

I've been experimenting with my NAS case and various drive configurations - 2.5", 3.5", SSD, Hybrid, Combinations - and I've settled on the use of 2 Seagate 12TB Exos drives (https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-256MB-Cache-Enterprise-ST12000NM0007/dp/B0759Q9FXZ/) (and they've released 14TB).  The lower capacity of the 2.5" SSDs didn't balance the lower capacity available.  By striping the two 12TB drives, I have almost 23TB of usable space and over 250MB/sec sustained write performance.

By using a low-profile, 5VDC fan (https://www.amazon.com/Wathai-80mm-10mm-Brushless-Cooling/dp/B07PXSB9W3/) and the standard low-profile RP64 heatsing and fan, I can maintain sub-40C temperatures when running all 6 cores with an artificial sysbench load.  During normal operation I usually see temps in the sub-30C range.

One step that I did take was to tape the SATA cables to keep them clear of the fan blades.

All together, a very good solution for a micro-NAS or media center/server.
