Hey folks...

Having a pine64 as a "intelligent" display using a HDMI TV but in "portrait"

Everything works fine... I mean, I can boot and rotate fbcon on the right orientation and I can also do the same thing in XFCE.

The issue is... the monitor itself shutdown while not in use with a timer switch and when that happen, the config on pine64 revert to a default resolution "1024x768" and back to landscape.

How to force the output to always be 1920x1080 in portrait ?

Hi,

I've install OpenVPN, but I cannot get it to start as it throws the error "ERROR: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory (errno=2)"

I searched the forum and found an old rock64 post which said the kernel module for /dev/net/tun was not on the system, so I ran

Hi, 

Is it possible to run Rock64Pro without power button? Some time ago the power was cut in my home and when it recovered unfortunately my board didn't comes up by itself... It is a little bit annoy, especially when you're not at home and you would like to use you board remotely but you can't...

Cheers!

Hi,
  I made some memory tests with rockpro64 and rock64. Here are the results :

The command is the following

Hi all,

I am thinking about buying the ROCKPro64 as an upgrade for a RaspberryPi, where I have running a NAS and a Nextcloud instance.

After having a look into the cases available, I have discarded the one for NAS as I already have the storage separately, so I am interested in the 'ROCKPro64 PREMIUM ALUMINUM CASING', detailed below:

https://www.pine64.org/?product=rockpro6...num-casing

I have read that it has a heat pipe connecting to the SoC, but is it really enough to keep the ROCKPro64 cold enough? I am wondering this because it seems there is not any air flow in the case.

Do anyone has this case who could give me some feedback about it?

Thank you all very much in advance.

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?
