I just got my Rock64 and am running the build "Android TV 7.1 Community Build Image [microSD Boot] by ayufan", i installed Direct TV Now on it, but when i try to select something to watch it says it cannot run on a rooted device.  This image isnt rooted but i think it throws the error because its being run on a Rock64 in general. So im pretty sure i would need something like Magisk Hide to bypass the error message.  Has anyone got Magisk installed on the Android TV image for the Rock64 or found a way to root the "Android TV 7.1 Community Build Image [microSD Boot] by ayufan" image?

Does anyone know of any instructions/directions/tutorials/etc on how to go about installing DietPi to EMMC in a Rock64?

(For the record, I'm not a Linux guru so just looking for some guidance.)

Thanks.

Hey Guys,

 I have a qestion to the RockPro64. Is a nvidia 570 geforce compatible withe the RockPro64 ?
 I like to operate over the Pcie. What kind of Pcie I need (sometimes a Pcie x4 to Pcie x16 bridge) ?
 Did I need a special driver or a normal ARM64 driver. My other AMD GPU does not work. The Fans working normal but I get no signal from the HDMI port of the GPU.

I hope someone can help me thanks   

Hey together,

I would like to use the rockpro64 as a server.

First of all I would like to do speed and stability tests.

I have two questions for now

1) Which image should i use?
I've heard that kernel 5 is supposed to bring some speed enhancements, is there already a stable image for it?

2) I have a passive cooler, do I still need heat conduction paste?

I have a few of the Pine products, which I use for testing and teaching Games coding for beginners. 

Im also working on a project to deliver some outreach courses to African countries to target potential new developers who may not have the chance to get access to usable computers much less expereinced game developers as teachers.

With that in mind I am exploring the Pinebook as a possible unit give to students and then hold courses to teach them the basics.

My 1st impresssions of the Pinebook are really great, out of the box running KDE neon 5.15 its clearly fully working, its a bit slow but thats expected, I don't need massive power, only funtionality. I was able to install Code::Blocks and run some test projects. I'm going to try some graphic tests shortly too. I'll continue with KDE Neon for a while but there might be a good reason to change to another OS (I note it does eat a lot of my 2Gb)

I wonder if I can pick your brains though, for full usability I need an OS that has OpenGLES2.0 graphic drivers for the Mali 400 GPU (is it a single core??)

Can anyone tell me which of the current ones have hardware access to the GPU?

thanks

Hello,

I posted on another thread but after further basic testing decided to put it in separate thread as i am not sure where the problem is.

Below was ordered in march 2019 and haven't been setup or fully used yet.

• rockpro64 4gb
  
• nas case with 12v 5a psu and fan
  
• Sata pcie card ASM1062 Serial ATA Controller (rev 01)
  
• sd card imaged with stretch-openmediavault-rockpro64-0.7.9-1067-arm64.img
  

1. After first boot no disks are seen but i hear hard drives starting to spin up 2x 4TB WD red, i tried with only 1 drive but the same problems so power shouldn't be an issue.
   
2. If i execute "halt -p" when disks are not seen in omv i can still hear them spinning when rockpro64 power on light is off.
   
3. During reboot disks do not stop spinning
   
4. Based on the above it looks like sata card or whatever controls disk recognition need to be reconfigured to add delay but i do not know how

Hi all,
I am having hair pulling issues! I have had my Rock64 board for over a week now. I have tried most of the Debian distros and most of the Ubuntu distros from the rock64 wiki page. I have had only one distro to works and get internet activity the Armbian Debian Stretch Desktop [microSD / eMMC Boot] [5.65] distro.

I have not been able to get any of the other distros to connect to anything. My latest attempt has been with the Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic LXDE Desktop Image [microSD / eMMC Boot] [0.7.8].  I found the network panel and this distro sees my wifi adapter and my home network but refuses to connect..

I have not been able to find any help on the internet for this. I have only found ifconfig and iwconfig of which iwconfig is not in the distro, it has been replaced with ip.

Please help this noob,

George

Hey guys, I'm having this issue with my external hard drive disconnecting and I'm suspecting my power supply is underperforming.

It's not the official power supply, it's a generic one I found on a store nerby. Except from this suspicion regarding the external HDD, it never showed any sign of problem.

In the Raspberry Pi there's the lightning symbol that shows the undervoltage situation, what about the Rock64? Is there any log or diagnostic tool to track and see if the power supply is underperforming, or if the USB 3 port is not outputing 5V?
Thanks.
