Hi

I use to have several Raspberry Pi's for small project work but got bored with them and passed them on. I am now looking at sbc's once again but with a slight difference. I want to use one as my only computer. I currently web browse, emails, doc storage and editing, watching and storing movies/music. I tried with a PI and it wasn't possible but is it possible with a RockPro64 please?

I am also interested because I am about to set up some off-grid systems to teach young people about off-grid power, such as cycling to make a smoothie. It would be great to hook-up the RockPro to that system as well. Using a 5v plug makes it possible.

If I bought the RockPro I think I would also buy the NAS Casing and the Mid Profile heat sync. What else would anybody suggest please?

Thanks for the advice.

I read that the emmc is removable but not the wifi chip. How hard is it to disable/kill it permanently? It would be great if it becomes removable in Pinebook Pro or at least easy to kill/disable permanently. 

This design would be welcomed by crypto users who don't trust crypto hardware wallets and want to use their own machines to implement Glacier Protocol so they can generate private keys and sign transactions securely.

Hello
I think Pinebook Pro is a great idea, but i miss the ethernet port very much.
I know that there are dongles, I even have usb3-GbE one, but it's not practical in the field, when one have to quickly check network status.
What do you guys think of giving the pinebook Pro Ethernet port option ?
Not to mention the SFP bay  .
But seriously, maybe there is some modular solution, like built in sfp bay and fiber/ethernet sfp ?

I know it isn't easy, but there could be some new buyers because of it.

Why there are not BUNDLES in the Shop?

As a RockPro64 tablet:

RockPro64
eMMC 128 Gb and other options
7" Screen /and perhaps other size options and even PINEBOOK cases
Camera A and B
WiFi and Bluetooth module
3 to 4 A Battery or other options (it seems ridiculous specs of 3000 or 4000 mA instead of write 3 or 4 A)

Android 9 Treble
Debian Lignux
Arch Lignux
(with Anbox or other better Android compatibility method pre configured as option)
Dual boot configurations

I posted on the Arch subgroup that I have not been able to get sound working with the 20190112 ArchLinux from Anarsoul. I decided to ask what distro's might be best on a Pinebook. On my desktop I use Arch (my current favorite) and Debian. For the Pinebook, I'm just looking for ease of use, good performance and best distro support. What is recommended?

I am running anarsoul's 20190112 image. WiFi is working after doing the suggested NIC hack. However I have not been able to get sound working on either speaker or headphone.
System updates have been run.

Hi guys,
I´m trying to set up an Owncloud server on the lastest Ubuntu bionic (18.04) on the Rock64.
Setting up an LAMP has just worked fine and I´m getting to the default

Hola como están. Soy nuevo con este producto. Lo compre para probarlo y utilizarlo con interfaz gráfica y poder escritorio remoto gráfico. 

solo compre la singleboard. No tiene modulo wifi, no tiene el modulo eMMc. 

Dejo un link  para que puedan descargar la imagen de armbian que pude crear .... aclaro que no soy super desarrollador, solo experimentador.

Las negativas que pude ver:
- El sistema operativo no tiene muchos servidores o repositorios para UPDATES ... 
- No pude instalar bien el synaptic para agregar idiomas y otras funcionalidades. 

Si alguien me puede explicar mas para poder colaborar, con gusto ayudo.
En fin, espero que sirva la información y se haga todo mas grande.

Ok so I downloaded rockpro64-debian-desktop-mrfixit.img.xz and flashed the img to SD. RoockPro64 boots and immediately asks for login and password (rock/rock). I did that. What do I type at the next prompt? (The one that is about distribution, no warranty, ect.)
 I will probably need to know what to type at every prompt.
I've been working with windows a long time, but limited time on Linux. All the Peripherals are working. Please help me get this thing working.

Hi,

I've tried registering for a BTO voucher for the 11" pinebook a number of times (I tried a number of times since Fosdem 2019), but never gotten as much as a confirmation email, let a lone a "go ahead" for an order. Am I doing something wrong? Are others getting their BTO confirmations?

BR,
Matthias
