Hello.
I hot a 4g rockpro64 and i want a full working debian image.
I have downloaded a debian stretch image listed in wiki but the graphics do not work.

I want to start to buy my RockPro64 components to start a project.

But i've noticed that Pine64s LCD touch screen has a note which says:"Only stock Android OS build for this LCD panel available for ROCKPro64 board"
https://www.pine64.org/?product=7-lcd-to...reen-panel

But then i saw this which looks to me there is Linux support for this LCD:
https://github.com/avafinger/pine64-touchscreen

So I'm asking maybe this note on the manufacturers LCD touch screen site has become obsolete?
Can somebody confirm?

I'd prefer Linux + GUI over Android, but when there's no chance i have to deal with Android on some kind.
A 5" LCD touch screen would be enough, but i haven't seen any other type on Pine64s store, so i have to deal with 7"

Hi,

I got a RockPro64 that I set up about a week ago.  Board, EMMC, USB EMMC adapter, power supply, USB serial adapter, heat sink, enclosure, all from the Pine64 online store.  I followed the NOOB guide and flashed ayufan's bionic minimal (bionic-minimal-rockpro64-0.7.9-1067-arm64.img) to the EMMC.  I was able to connect over the serial console, boot, ssh, etc., everything working great.  Didn't power the device down, but did `sudo shutdown -r now` a time or two, no problems.

Then my house lost power for a bit, and it hasn't booted since.  The green light where the power connects comes on as it should whenever power is connected.  The lights on the ethernet port blink like normal.  But whenever I turn it on, the red LED near the power button blinks indefinitely and the white LED there never comes on.

I tried re-flashing the EMMC with the same image I'd used before (I was using dd both times), no improvement.

I tried connecting pins 23 and 25 as the "RockPro64 Main Page" suggests for bypassing SPI, no improvement.

I tried using the "recover" button as described in the "OTG mode" section on the "RockPro64 Main Page", no improvement -- white light never comes on, red light keeps blinking, nothing shows up on a desktop (as reported by lsusb) if I connect it to the USB 3 port.

The USB serial adapter's lights blink when I connect it and turn on the RockPro64, but nothing actually gets sent (as reported by minicom on my desktop, connected the same way I'd connected it successfully before).

I'd very much appreciate any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot this further.

Thanks,
-Joseph

On my 11.6" Pinebook with Xubuntu I only have 1920x1080 resolution and no hdmi connection to an exterior monitor. On my Pineboard with Xubuntu I'm also stuck with 1920x1080 resolution and xorg is not updating. What is the solution for this? Thanks

Hi!
I have a Rock64 with OMV, this sata to usb adapter and a WD red . My issue is that the adapter spins down the hard drive after 10 minutes of inactivity and there seems to be no way to increase that duration. I tried the integrated hd-parm in OMV and hd-idle with no luck. Thus, I need to change the adapter. 
My questions are: 

1. Does the adapter sold by pine support hd-parm? 
   
2. Are there any dual sata adapters that work with hd-parm or have a higher spindown time?
   
3. Is there a way to have al least 2 hard drives attached to the usb3 port in a reliable way? I noticed that on the OMV forums they advice against using usb hubs.
   

Hello, I know there are often bottlenecks. I placed a new order today for a RockPro64 4GB Ram board. When is the next shipment expected to be sent out?
Thanks for great support and exciting products.

I setup a sd with ubuntu 18.04 and I'm fairly happy with the results. Now, I bought an emmc module and would like to clone the ssd to the emmc of the rock64 and use that going forward.
I found some tutorials on how to setup a new image on the emmc but nothing regarding "cloning" the sd on the emmc.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

This makes now almost a year that i use my rock64. Globally, i could verify and do what i wanted, but a problem remains with this SBC.
After each power up, and after some times of usage (generally few minutes), the Rock64 reboots alone  ; most of the time, this happens when using a web browser (my internet connection is done via the wifi usb dongle found on the Pine64 store),  and after this unwanted self-reboot the board works fine. I have this issue with all the linux versions i tested: bionic LXDE on eMMC, ARMBIAN stretch and ARMBIAN Bionic on µSD card.

Someone can help me?

regards

Hello,
   I know enough about Linux to know my limitations. I want to purchase this board with this camera, but only an Android build works with it according to the site's camera info. Is it possible to make it happen with what is found here using Ubuntu Bionic 18.04.

BOARD: https://ameridroid.com/products/rockpro64
CAMERA: https://ameridroid.com/products/rockpro6...lens-model
OS: Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic LXDE Desktop Image [microSD / eMMC Boot] [0.7.8]
? DRIVER ?: https://www.linux-projects.org/uv4l/inst...on-ubuntu/

I want it to work, but not willing to spend right now if compiling needs to be done. Unless camera driver resource link can be provided.

Thanks
