Hi All:
I've installed the following CentOS 7 image onto an SD card which successfully boots the RockPro64 with 4 Gb RAM and eMMC card:
Centos-7.4.1708 with kernel from Armbian-5.67.img.xz
It was downloaded directly from the Project31 GitHub web page:
https://project31.github.io/pine64/
After first boot the /root/finish-centos-install.sh script was run to complete setup.
Then GNOME was installed with the following command which completes successfully:
Code: # yum -y groups install "GNOME Desktop"
Next, attempt to launch GNOME using the command:
It fails to launch due to a segmentation fault from "dmidecode" shown below:

The same segmentation fault occurs at the command line if "dmidecode" is run by itself.
Re-booting, 'yum update'. or starting over with a new SD card does not help.
Has anyone else had the same problem trying to install and run GNOME (or KDE) on CentOS on RockPro64?
This issue is a real blocker trying to get a graphical interface up and running.
Any hints or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

I want to do a fade in and out of an LED while the board is in sleep mode. I can easily do this in arduino, but would rather have the rockpro64 do it. Is there anything the rockpro64 can do while asleep aside from wait for a signal to wake it up?

What should I do replace the storage from internal storage to SD card
My android phone can not give me the way, how to replace it
When I download a thing, the notification directly appears that your memory storage is full. Actually, I have plugged in my SD card
So, how to manage, what should I do

Hi guy's. I'm new to the forum. I'm an sbc enthusiast and currently own a raspberry pi 0,2,3 and 3b+ as well as an odroid XU4Q. But I've turned my attention to a pine A64 (512mb) variant, which I've been able to pick up for a really good price.
Before it turns up in the post I have some general questions:
1. What would be the recommended Linux OS for this board? I know it's the lowest hardware version so after something lightweight but usable for light DE tasks and possibly packages to set up a Nas. What have other users found a good set up?
2. I've read a few threads in regards to these boards being picky about being powered through micro usb and a workaround by powering through the EULA bus. Could I chop the end off one of my 5v2amp pi adapters and connect to the DC in pins?
3. What micro SD cards are guys using on their boards? Any perticular brands that work well?
4. And finally, what sort of heat does the SoC give off? Will I potentially need to apply a heatsink? My pi 3 makes some mega heat when under load.
Any other advice or things to watch out for would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance?
Ash
