  PCIE SATA controller ASM1062 problems or software
Posted by: vecnar - 05-28-2019, 01:16 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (36)

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



Main problem is when i first plugin power connector to rockpro64 it automatically starts to boot from sd card (which is good) but once os boots hard drives are not showing up in omv and it takes much longer to boot. I have to reboot at least once for hard drives to show up. It also throws a lot of errors when trying to copy a number of files.


My findings:
  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



Before i go and start purchasing different sata cards (they are not cheap here, around 40-50 euro for marvel 88se9215) i would like to know is it a problem with sata card or time it takes for hard drives to spinup and start talking to sata card. I would also like to know if asmedia 1602 rev01 is stable and performing well for others.

Below are the errors i see when copying some files to disk
Code:
[ 2939.458032] ata2.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error
[ 2939.462603] ata2: SError: { Handshk }
[ 2939.466949] ata2.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED


Below are the errors i see after first boot

Code:
[   80.509588] ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 1 SControl 310)
[   80.534423] ata1: irq_stat 0x00000040, connection status changed

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 hell me thanks  Big Grin

  wifi issues
Posted by: george2524 - 05-27-2019, 05:41 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (9)

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


  How to check if my power supply is underperforming?
Posted by: va88 - 05-27-2019, 06:05 AM - Forum: Rock64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (3)

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.


Question Android SDK Oreo
Posted by: NGC6691 - 05-27-2019, 05:39 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (2)

As I can see there seems to be the Android Oreo SDK for this board available on Wiki.

Code:
tulip_p3-eng
tulip_p3-user
tulip_p4-eng
tulip_p4-user
tulip_p4-userdebug
uranus_t1-eng
uranus_t1-user

These are the device available, which should I use?
What's the differences between p3 and p4?

Thanks.


  No Power Supply?
Posted by: data_generating_event - 05-26-2019, 12:13 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (5)

Hi,
Received my new Pinebook. There doesn't seem to be a powersupply in the package, even though the shipping manifest shows "Power Supply: US" on it. Was the power supply a separate order item or ? 

Thanks

  USB3 enough to power 2,5 external HDD?
Posted by: va88 - 05-25-2019, 01:59 PM - Forum: Rock64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (11)

Hey guys, is the Rock64 able to supply enough energy to one of those small external HDD?

I was using an external HDD with its own power supply, but decided to go with one of those small HDDs, but I think the board is not delivering enough energy.

I tried an USB 3 (500Gb WD My Passport WDBKXH, WDBY8L) and an USB2 HDD (an old Samsung 1TB External M2 Portable).

According to some info, the first needs up to 650mA and the second needs up to 850mA.


I tried each in the corresponding USB ports. Both are detected by lsusb command.

Lsblk also shows both the drives (I'm not connecting them at the same time).

However, a few seconds into the actual process of write and read, they both "disarm", as if they suddenly lost power, and then reconnect.

dmesg logs a lot of errors:

Both HDs are good and working normally on my Windows PC, so it's not hardware fault.

I'm running the latest Armbian Strech and I use a 5V 3A Power Supply. My Rock64 is slightly underclocked to top at 1008Mhz (so I don't need a fan).

I've seem many people saying that these boards in general don't supply enough power to these small external HDDs.

However, people say that the Rock64 can deliver up to 950mA to the USB 3, so in theory this should be more than enough to power at least the WD USB3 drive I mentioned above.

What do you guys say? Should I try another system image? Has anyone got a working setup involving smaller external USB3 HDDs like the ones I mentioned?



EDIT: It was the power supply. I bought a better one and now it's handling the HDD properly.


  No sound on Pinebook 64
Posted by: theadscotsman - 05-25-2019, 11:32 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (3)

Hi everyone.
I received my Pinebook 64 last week. I installed the default Neon OS.
I cannot get the sound to work, the volume shows as 100% but nothing out of the onboard speakers or headphones. I can’t find anything in the settings.

Anyone got any advice?

Thanks, Andrew
