Hello,
I'm trying use serial ports(ttyS1, ttyS2) on Android 7.
Should I enable the console?

Hey! So I ran into a pretty big issue and am in need of some help. I was experimenting with the display brightness in the power settings of my pinebook. In doing so, I turned the screen all the way down and saved. All I see is a black screen now. I’ve restarted the computer and see up until the login screen. After logging into my user account though, the screen is black again. Does any one know how to fix this? Thanks!

Sorry if the post is in the wrong location -- I don't know how else to get in touch with the web folks at Pine64.

Anyway, on the page https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/ROCK64...re_Release, the download links for both "Armbian Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Desktop [microSD / eMMC Boot] [5.88]" and "Armbian Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Minimal [microSD / eMMC Boot] [5.88]" points to the same file.

And, the version of the download that the link does point to is 5.90, no 5.88.

The same is true for "Armbian Debian Stretch Desktop [microSD / eMMC Boot] [5.75]", it's actually version 5.90 as well.

Finally I have Mineos running Minecraft servers on the RockPro64


Im using Ayfan's minimal Debian 0.7.9-1067.
Added dptx.bin and adjusted locales to stop the messages.

I have a few links I used to set it up. Give me a couple of days to gather the info, and I will edit here.
If there is any interest, I will attempt to make an image and upload it somewhere.

EDIT
*** The image is listed at the bottom of the How-to posted below***

Cheers,
Andy

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find it.  What are the differences between ayufan and mrfixit's kernels?

L.S.,

I just got the NASCase running. I got the 80 mm fan with it, it is properly plugged in in the right place on the board, but for some reason it is not working. Is this a hardware or a software problem?

My NAS runs OMV.

I already tried to install ATS (https://github.com/tuxd3v/ats), but that didn't work out:

after I run

Hello everyone,

This is my first post, so I'll spare a couple of lines to introduce myself:
I'm a hardware enthusiast, sometimes over my possibilities and capabilities, but that is the way I learn. I like running Linux in every device I have, sometimes just because. But I am far from being a Linux-only kind of guy: there is always room for Windows, OSX and FreeBSD.

I started to be interested in the Rock64 board a couple of months ago when someone introduced me to it. After reading on the forums for a while, I decided to buy it from someone that wasn't going to use it anymore. So far I've tried Debian Stretch and Armbian Ubuntu Bionic 64 images.
I am using it to host small headless server for internal use. The resources I am using are the built-in Ethernet, the CPU, the memory and the SD-Card.

To my surprise, I've been having random freezes with both images for a while. So I decided to debug the freezes by using an external UART to see if messages were dumped to the serial console. (I followed this instructions https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5029 )

These freezes could happen at random times, but mostly when I was interacting with the Rock64 through SSH protocol.
I tried to force this freezes with the stress command: sudo stress -c3 -m3; and succeded.
1-4 seconds after executing the stress command, the Rock64 board would freeze. I reproduced this four times in a row.

Would you think this is a board problem? I'm asking in case I have to ask for a refund from the person I bought the board from.

I'm pasting the kernel messages below for reference.

Salutations to everyone!

Hello, my name is Gary and i'm addicted to technology. I've been developing a handheld device to review video, score points and submit scoresheets. The last couple of months i've been hacking on the raspberry pis with good success. Until I made a 50 item order from adafruit to make a few units, let's just say customer service isn't great at adafruit. After I ordered, I noticed a few items stayed in my cart and weren't added to the shipment. Bringing this up to the adafruit support prompted them to turn package around mid-transit back to the warehouse, cancel my order, and told me to find a new supplier. So here i am.

Here is the current project i'm working on, I'm looking into redesigning these cases for the Pine H64 vB to serve the same purpose.

The current software side consists of GUIslice as the touchscreen interface, with omxplayer sending video to the hdmi screen. I've been using the videocore layering abilities to overlay dynamically generated png images over the video as well. The buttons are configured for scoring points and busts during video replay, additionally for touchscreen interface navigation when not playing video.

I'm not sure what comparable touchscreen I should look into, as I can modify this design to fit just about anything., the 3.5" screen size seems to be a good overall size for this device. I have lots to learn in the pine64 community and will be updating this thread as my project progresses.

Appreciate any advice and constructive criticism from the community. Thanks!

I was wondering, who do I need to talk with about potentially getting a review unit for the Pinebook Pro (and/or PineTab and PinePhone ) to review on TuxDigital and This Week in Linux podcast?

2. Bionic / Container Linux
It has Docker Community Edition / Docker Compose / Kubernetes-admin installed for easy Containers use.
Credentials: rock64/rock64
3. OpenMediaVault
Use armhf variant as one that offers the best compatibility.
