Try to connect wifire pci card, but rockpro doesnt boot with it, is any opportunity to use it, or not.supported?

Hi folks! Total newbie here. Got 2 Rock64. One with 4g, the other, 1g. Then I got the stereo audio DAC board. Been having a fairly good time messing around with the Rock64s, but, I cannot seem to find ANY information regarding the DAC board. And since I am a TOTAL newbie, what the heck is a DAC and PLEASE don't start spewing all of those three  or four letter acronyms describing what it is, what it has, or what it does. All that is just wasted on me.
Just please just tell me what I can do with it. Currently I have it stuck on top of the 1g board (properly on the right pins) just waiting for it to do whatever it is that it does. There is just no documentation, that I have found, that actually delves into how to use it. If there is anyone "out there" who can point  me the right direction, I will be grateful. Thank you all for this forum.

Hi all.
Last weekend PINE64 was at FOSDEM in Brussels.
They showcased an amazing amount of new devices.
The PineBook Pro with the RK3399.
The new design of PINE H64 with the Allwinner H6.
The PinePhone, and more...
I made a video there, here it is. Thank you to the PINE64 team.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to migrate my homemade headless NAS/mediaserver from an old Odroid U2 board to the Rock64. However, I haven't found any micro SD card image that boots into a system that I can reach via the network. The board just doesn't show up in the overview of my router, nor can I find it using nmap from my desktop PC.

I've tried various images from ayufan's site (haven't found any other), but to no avail. I'm well familiar with tools such as xz and dd, and I know that micro SD cards aren't the most reliable of media. But I can mount the partitions of the flashed SD card just fine on my desktop PC, so that is not it.

So, any hints on how to proceed? I haven't tried to connect the board to a HDMI monitor (it's a bit awkward), but I think any system should at least be pingable via the network.

Thanks!

Hello every body,
  I followed the tutorial "Step by step guide PXE diskless configuration (with pxe-boot)", and it worked -almost- fine with debian image (error because root account disabled ... no console) but not with ubuntu container image (error during boot) . Then I have a question, is there a way to :
0. make a network directory with a minimal system and create a directory containing an image
1. boot the system with pxe-boot from ethernet
2. get the information on hardware (and specifically sd/emmc card)
3. flash the image saved on a network on it
4. reboot

?

Thank you for your help

My network is compound of :
- a rockpro64 (with eventually a ssd on the pcie)
- 3 rock64
- 2 networks (one local and one access to internet)

I'm trying to run the example.cpp that comes with Pine64-CPP from https://github.com/databit/Pine64-CPP

I am throwing segmentation faults when I run.
 
Initializationsucceeds:
The man-setup() call initialzes the board.  I traced the success path to the following if statement in the setup() function in gpio.cpp
    if((uint64_t)gpio_mem % PAGE_SIZE)
And I also traced the successful  "this->gpioMap =" statement to the one that uses SUNXI_GPIO_BASE
    
In the example code, I initialize the pin with
   man->pinMode (PI_GPIO_24, OUTPUT);
 
The pinMode function in gpio.cpp, launches _setPullupdn with gpio=78 and pud = 1.  As expected
Inside _setPullupdn,  the following is set
     bank= 2
     index = 0
    offset = 28
 
The segmentation fault seems to come from this line in gpio.c
   regval = *(&pio->PULL[0] + index);
 
I have a 4 GB Rock64 running armbian bionic desktop from https://www.armbian.com/rock64/
 
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio   gives me

GPIOs 0-31, platform/pinctrl, gpio0:
 gpio-0   (                    |vcc_host_5v         ) out hi

 gpio-30  (                    |vcc_sd              ) out lo    
 
GPIOs 32-63, platform/pinctrl, gpio1:

GPIOs 64-95, platform/pinctrl, gpio2:
 
GPIOs 96-127, platform/pinctrl, gpio3:
 
GPIOs 510-511, platform/rk8xx-gpio, rk8xx-gpio, can sleep:

 gpio-511 (                    |?                   ) out lo   
 
 
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks.

Hey,

I plan to use rockpro64 as a storage server with up to 10 HDDs with this controller : 

https://www.amazon.de/DeLock-Express-int...K77PQW1J14

I want to build it everything in a normal ATX-Case with a ATX powersupply, for now my question :

Can I use the standard 12V Molex with 11A to power the RockPro64 with this pcie controller, or I need to reduce the amps?

The HDD´s will be powered directly from the powersupply.

The PCIe lane of rockpro64 should provide in total 2GB/s bandwidth, so for every port I could get 200MB/s in the theory. It would be enough if I get at least the maximum speed of a gigabit lan connection.

If somebody have any hint, you´re welcome

Hello.
I have Rock 64 with connected HDD to USB 3.0 and CC2531 doungle (Zigbee sniffer) to USB 2.0
In this configuration HDD works fine, but CC2531 work very bad - working distance to Zigbee devices is 2-3 meters (must be 10-15).
Then I disconnect HDD from USB 3.0 - CC2531 work fine! Zigbee devices connect at 10-15 meters from Rock64.
I try connect CC2531 to USB 3.0 (HDD is OFF) - and in this configuration also all working fine.

But I need connect HDD and CC2531 simultaneous...
Whats problem can be?

I tried every method and I cant get even old wine to install

I get random messages but when I tried to follow the main websites instructions for latest wine I get

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

So I accidentally flashed an sd to emmc image on my emmc module.  When the rock64 would not boot I took it back out and threw it back into the usb emmc adapter I got from pine64 and windows now only sees this as 15GB instead of 32GB.  I've tried to use diskpart to delete and clean everything, but nothing seems to work to get my emmc module back to working condition.  I've booted my rock64 with an SD card and used the /usr/local/bin/rock64_reset_emmc.sh script, but that doesn't seem to do anything to the emmc module itself.  I've tried to DD the entire thing, and still nothing.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can somehow fix these modules so I can throw new images on them??

Thanks!
