  Recommendation for external hdd enclosure
Posted by: majortom - 03-27-2019, 04:02 AM - Forum: Rock64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

I'm building a NAS with the Rock64 and Openmediavault. To connect an external SSD I read that it is a good idea to get a case with a JMS578 controller.

So I buyed this one:
https://www.inateck.com/fe2005-2-5-withd...osure.html

I connected my SSD with this case. But unfortunately the case only works in USB2 mode. This can be seen from the LED that lights up white for USB2 and blue for USB3. In addition, the performance of the SSD was very bad.  Sad

So this doesn't work.

Can you recommend a 2.5 HDD case for an SSD drive that works well and reliably with the Rock64?


  Unable to boot ayufan images
Posted by: vman - 03-27-2019, 02:06 AM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - No Replies

I ran into an interesting problem, I can boot the mrfixit2001 Debian image without any issue but for some reason I am unable to boot up any other image. Even more problematic is that the serial port just does not seem to work at all, I suppose I might have at some point had the USB-Serial set to 5v and blew the UART, only reason I can think why I cannot get anything out of the serial connection, so I cannot really debug the low level boot messages.

My question, does anyone what the config is mrfixit2001 use for the kernel build? Ideally I would like to use Fedora, but I will settle for Bionic until I can figure out why the serial is not working 0 or maybe get a new board...

Any hints would be greatly appreciated

  Ayufan Debian Stretch Openmediavault 4 5G Wifi Not Connecting
Posted by: Poincare - 03-26-2019, 07:28 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

I'm trying out Ayufan's ARM64 and ARMHF Openmediavault images for the Rock64. Seems the Arm64 has less compatibility issues. I have installed an rtl8723bu driver but it does not see 5G Wifi.  The access points that are 2G are visible but no 5G access point is visible. 

I've tried omv-firstaid but it does not config the wifi card correctly. It's putzed around with nmtui but it also does not correctly config the wifi card.  

Does anyone know how to manually config a usb wifi in Debian / OMV4 on the Rock64 releases?


  RockPro64 won't boot.
Posted by: Faradn - 03-26-2019, 06:34 PM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - Replies (6)

Just received my RP64, PSU, heatsink w/fan and (2) 64Gb SDHCs.
-- I Flashed Bionoc/LXDE with Etcher.
-- Connected the 12V/5A PSU, GRN power LED illuminates WHT LED illuminates.
-- Pressed power button for 1s, WHT LED turns off, RED LED blinks, and that's that. Nothing.
-- I've used Etcher to flash SDHCs for my Pi 3Bs and Odroid XU4 without any problems.
-- Looks like the SBC is dead. Sad
Q1: Does the fan spin up automatically or is it a PWM fan?
Q2: What to do from here?

TIA,

  Shipment to Russia?
Posted by: Tantrix - 03-26-2019, 05:02 PM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (54)

Since the beginning of 2018, individuals in Russia don't need to get FSB certification to order "cryptographic devices" (including laptops). Are there any plans to start delivering Pinebooks to Russia again?


  Video : Media Script for the Rock64/4K video in Linux
Posted by: NicoD - 03-26-2019, 12:59 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (1)

Hi all.
I've just made a video where I show how to install the media script from JMCC on the Rock64 in Linux.
This makes it possible to watch youtube, and 4k video with the Rock64.
I also show how to overclock to 1.5Ghz.

For this you need Armbian Bionic desktop.

And the media script from JMCC

  NEMS Linux 1.5 Released for A64/A64+, A64-LTS/SOPine, Rock64, RockPro64 (NAGIOS)
Posted by: Baldnerd - 03-26-2019, 12:23 PM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (4)

Hi all!


Many of you are already familiar with my project, NEMS Linux, but for those who aren't, NEMS stands for "Nagios Enterprise Monitoring Server" and it is a modern pre-configured, customized and ready-to-deploy Nagios Core image designed to run on low-cost micro computers.

I am pleased and excited to announced that NEMS Linux 1.5 is now available for PINE64's A64, A64+, A64-LTS, SOPine, Rock64 and RockPro64 boards. More boards are coming soon as well.

I hope you love it!   Smile


  what is the rock64 good for?
Posted by: munocat - 03-25-2019, 06:38 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (5)

I have a 4GB Rock 64, and it fails my 2 main uses

use 

1  youtube playback, I have no audio, A/V does not work, nor does a Bluetooth adapter.  
2 seti@home. Fails with computational errors. 

PINE64 does not care for supporting software, always says COMMUNITY, but there is not much community support.

I feel like I got ripped off. basically my ROCK64 (which has so much promise), is a lemon,


Question Want a 64GB eMMC PineTab upgrade?
Posted by: Luke - 03-25-2019, 05:43 PM - Forum: News - Replies (40)

We are considering upgrading the PineTab with 64GB eMMC. This would mean that it would mean it would retail for $99 ($118.99 with keyboard). Or would you prefer that we keep the original price of $79 with 16GB of eMMC ($99.99 with keyboard)?


  insmod ko: Invalid module format
Posted by: zener - 03-25-2019, 01:00 PM - Forum: Debian - No Replies

I just updated my system:

Code:
/etc/debian_version
buster/sid
root@rockpro64:/tmp# uname -a
Linux rockpro64 4.4.132-1075-rockchip-ayufan-ga83beded8524 #1 SMP Thu Jul 26 08:22:22 UTC 2018 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux


However if I insmod a kernel module which have just been compiled using /usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.132-1075-rockchip-ayufan-ga83beded8524 I get:


Code:
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module xtrx_linux_pcie_drv/xtrx.ko: Invalid module format

root@rockpro64:/tmp# dmesg | tail -1
[98715.709490] xtrx: version magic '4.4.132 SMP mod_unload aarch64' should be '4.4.132-1075-rockchip-ayufan-ga83beded8524 SMP mod_unload aarch64'

How can I resolve this inconsistency?
