Hi all,

I've searched the forum for a solution to my problem. Here's a quick overview of my setup:

Rockpro64 4GB in a NAS case
eMMC 64GB module
PCI-E SATA-II controller
1x 3.5" sata harddrive connected
12V/5A power supply

Now hear this, I tried several images (OMV, Armbian, Bionic and Stretch) all show the same behavior.

The first time I boot the system all goes well. I then configure the network, install some packages like bridge-utils, vlan, smartmontools, mdadm and ats for fancontrol. When I poweroff the system it shuts down like it is supposed to. Nothing strange here..

And then when I want to boot it again, nothing happens. The amber led on the ethernet interface blinks and also the white led on the front of the board flashes in a random order. The ethernet leds don't become solid like they do at a successfull boot.

Sometimes, if I leave the power disconnected for several hours up to 24hrs.. It boots up normal, this thing is driving me mad.

I am using solely original parts from the pine64 shop. What am I missing here?

Am I missing something or is this a u-boot/kernel problem?

I installed Bionic Containers aarch64 (DockerCE & Kubernetes) [microSD / eMMC Boot] [0.7.9] image.  I'm booting from a microSD.  I must be missing something obvious, but I can't boot to a different kernel.


The kernel install looks good.

I installed OMV, and there is no HDMI output always.
and every it crashed(I think) and can't boot again, I must install the fresh OMV again, and again.
I installed autoshutdown plugin, and the system seems never shutdown by it.
I configure the interface to WoL enabled, but I can't wake it up use a perl/python script.
the only worked component is ats, the fan worked well.
the two hard 4G disks /dev/sda and /dev/sdb always disappeared when boot the system from a long downtime.
I want to known if I shoud change to debian + samba, to let problems simply.
BTW, I use a 16GB eMMC to boot the system, and installed flash memory plugin, too.

Hi,

I just plugged in my RockPro64 for the first time and all is fine for a few minutes (basic Ubuntu 18 image from this site). I was able to cd around and look at things. Ran htop, etc. Then the video dies and it won't come back up (interesting, the green led on the NIC port went out as well). Tried refreshing, rebooting, checked monitor/cable on other system (fine). Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? I detect it's booting ok since keyboard and mouse are lit up after a few seconds and white light comes on.

Also, the fan purchased here does not work when plugged into the fan connector.

Thanks in advance for helping.

Hi,

my Transformer/Rock64 <-->HDMIv2.0a cable<-->AVR:Onkyo TX-NR686<-->HDMIv2.0a cable<-->LG OLED55B8PLA setup has a compliancy issue.... I think.

For CEC and ARC audioreturn to perform the Transformer/Rock64 need to be fisicaly disconnected from HDMI cable, a soon as it is connected to the AVR over HDMI the CEC and ARC fails and the LG OLED can no longer transmit sound over HDMI to the AVR for any application or service.

any suggestions or questions are welcome as I think this could be a major deal breaker.

Is it possible to use the provided LCD TOUCH monitor AND (at the same time) an HDMI monitor?
Furthermore, if attaching an external mouse/keyboard, will it work if the touch is enabled to have dual control?
Thanks

Hello everyone

So stadia announcement is out, if everything falls down as Google expects  as it probably will, even if it takes time, my power hungry gaming pc would pretty much become obsolete, just around to play some present titles that eventually will become obsolete. Should I be selling it asap?

Under that stadium I would only need a 4k streaming capable device to play online and connect to my TV, ideally it would also be low power. I think my rp64 is just the device I would be looking for. Development on Linux is starting to become enjoyable and in the future could just right about be all I need even as a desktop.

I'm curios to read what might your thoughts be, understand lag fears as well as the portion of ppl that modify their games for cheats etc but can we really fight the future, is this sbc the future of gaming next to stadia, low power consumption 4k experience gaming? Am I just dreaming, is this posible? Should I be exited? Will rp64 be part of this future?

Hello guys,

I'm having a lot of problems with the RockPro64 card.
Need help! I think I'm doing something wrong because the system goes up without recognizing the network card and some OpenMediaVault modules.

1) I am using the version of the 4Gb card;
2) I'm using a 64Gb eMMC;
3) I always use the balenaEtcher for system flash;
4) I've tried several summers of OpenMediaVault:
     Examples of the most common:
    a) -> http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/ROCKPro...MediaVault
    b) -> https://sourceforge.net/projects/openmed...les/4.1.3/

Error:


I believe that the card does not present problems, because the version of Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic usually works with all the components, recognizing the network card and other peripherals.

Has anyone had any luck getting the serial console to work?  I'm not having any luck.

Hello
the screen they sell is compatible with sopine a64
