Hi all,
has someone tried to extend the cable of the 13MP camera?
I just need 5 cm more but in the current configuration I cannot find any way to make it work.
Could you advice a cable and a female-female adapter? Would it work?
Thanks

I just got a Rock64Pro and I installed DietPi (running MATE as the UI) on it.  Boots up just fine, but the video is standard HD (1920x1080).  I went into Control Centre and 4K resolution isn't even listed in the Resolution drop down.  Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get/enable 4K resolution?  

The monitor is 4K, and Rock64 running DietPi operates in 4K mode.  I'm using the Rock64Pro version of DietPi.

Thanks,

Richard

Here's an update.  I was able to find an article online which provided me with the following commands to switch to 4K mode:

    xrandr --newmode "3840x2160" 338.75 3840 4080 4488 5136 2160 2163 2168 2200 -hsync +vsync
    xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 "3840x2160"
    xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode "3840x2160"

When executed in Terminal, the system will switch to 4K resolution.  And under Armbian Ubuntu, if I add those lines to ~/.profile, Ubuntu boots to 4K resolution.  When I tried adding those lines to ~/.profile under DietPi (with MATE as the UI), it doesn't work.  

I'm guessing that with DietPi/MATE, I need to add those lines to a different file.  Does anyone know which file I need to edit?

Hi,

Rock64 boards are supplied inside the cool plastic boxes. Where can I buy such boxes?

Hello,
It's been a month since the last post in this forum and while i have my project "working" there is a ton of functionality that I thought i could get out of this board assuming an ASOP ROM with root access would be on the way.    Is this planned? I got two boards hoping that the RockPro64 could be the foundation of my projects but, not out of impatience just lack of being sure that this is still active, am thinking about moving to another arm board with more active development.  In any case: just a delay or is this not planned for the immediate future?
Thanks for your response

Hi,
Just got my Rock64Pro and installed Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic    LXDE Desktop aarch64  from SD card

All seemed to go well, but there is no "Top Menu" So i cannot find a way of accessing network settings, for example to setup wifi using a dongle.

previously using Debian on RPI.

Any ideas

Hi Everyone,
I am new to Single Board Computers and Arm Architecture. I have been using GNU/Linux on my X86 as my main desktop Pc for a few years. This is my current configuration of my pc: Distro: Release Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela 64-bit - Kernel Linux 3.16.0-38-generic x86_64 - Desktop Manager : MATE 1.10.2 - Hardware: Memory: 8:00 Gb - Processor: Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz × 4 This pc is connected to the cheap display via HDMI (A 40 in Westinghouse led TV) With these configurations I have everything I need for work, play and fun.
I would appreciated very much if anyone can help me with these ?:-)
What is the differences between the Rock64 vs RockPro64 ?
Is there any option for booting to the system with different OS like Grub loader?
Is the 1 Gb of Ram + add on Dac be good for Volumio?
Thanking in advance an Rock On:-)
Cheers,
Phamo

Hi Folks,

I've been building Linux kernels since 0.99.12, but I can't come up with a formula that allows me to build the kernel from the kernel-source package that is available for the 190531 release.

I'm trying to enable native SAS, scsi generic, and scsi tape support and add support for the HighPoint RR27XX card family.

EDIT - the RR27XX is seen properly by the kernel, and lspci reports proper configuration information.

Pointers and tips are highly welcomed

I have put the Rock64 Android 9 source code up here:
https://github.com/a9rock64/manifests

It boots but it needs work. 
Neither Ethernet or Wifi is properly configured.
It does not have gapps integrated.
Several more minor issues
On the plus side it looks like OTG/adb is working now.

This is not ready for a casual user.

If your are Android developer please give it a try and help fix the broken parts.
Send me email and I will give you write access to the repositories.

Hello!

I discover two issues with ROCKPro64 GPU drivers:

1. Constant screen flicker with display resolution above 2048x1280. For instance, I was able to reliable reproduce this with screen resolution 2560x1600 with LXDE, KDE and Mate.
I expected 2560x1600 to work as resolution is within the "4K Digital Video Out" spec advertised on product web-site. Issue is reproducible via both of HDMI and USB-C, by the way.

Switching from 2560x1600 to 2048x1280 as workaround is highly undesirable because image became blurry, which is very noticeable on 30 inch display.

2. Constant screen tearing, i.e. not working V-Sync in Xorg session (to reproduce this issue move windows around, play video in web-browser or desktop player). I hoped to get red of this issue by using Mutter Wayland session, but so far I found "Mutter on Mali" guides only for ODROID boards. On ROCKPro64 with installed Mali Wayland driver gdm3 just crash on start with both of enabled and disabled Wayland support in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

I tried all combinations of modesetting dri2vsync and pageflip options, tried no compositing, default mate compositing, and all variants of kwin vsync options, issue is reproducible with every combination (which is why there is rkmpv wrapper that allow to watch video without tearing, I guess).

Is there any proper (not workaround-ish, like rkmpv, which is less then useful for my usecase, unfortunately) solution for these two issues? Like, maybe, newer GPU driver that not crash gdm3 and Mutter?
