Hey guys, I followed this guide to a Tee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT-EGNl9bZA&t=3s

And it worked up until teh very last step where you try to input your security credentials in on windows 10 to login to the NAS. Windows will not accept my password. I can login to the OMV just fine with my IP otherwise tho. Ive googled the problem extensively and changed jsut about every network or otherwise mentioned setting and still to no avail with rebooting NAS and comp at every step. Help? 

TIA

Hi, I just got rock pro 64 and wanted to attach external hard drive powered via USB (no additional power cables), but it doesn't power up. The drive works fine if it's attached to a laptop, so the problem is with rock pro 64. Does anyone know if it supposed to power it up - in other words, should it deliver enough power to power up external USB drive (2.5 inch SSD) like a laptop does?

Rock pro 64 does have on board sata power connector that is used to power sata drive connected through the PCIe x4, so I believe it should be capable of powering a USB SATA drive - but this is just a speculation.

I was quick to join the forum when I read about the PineBook Pro news.
I'm really excited about it and am definetly planning to get one, but there is a catch.
I can't find any info online regarding the keyboard, if there are replacements with scandinavian layout and so on.
Is my google kung fu that bad or isnt there a discussion at all about it?
I would love to have a pro as a daily driver but then I have a creteria regarding the keyboard and I'm afriad it's what is going to stop me from getting one.

I know that a remapping is possible and I've done that before, it just becomes a hassle with other things in my opinion and a native layout is always better.

Am I the only one who would want a scandinavian keyboard?
I would be more than willing to pay for it.

I have been running Easy on the Rock64 for several days, it is completely stable, have been compiling huge packages, such as LibreOffice and the kernel.

Regarding the kernel, thanks to ayufan, I just downloaded from his repo, patched aufs and simplified the .config (mostly took out debugging stuff).


Booted from SD card, I have not yet tried putting it onto the eMMC.

The "supported" release of Armbian for the soPine works great on the baseboard - but on the released version networking doesn't work with it on the clusterboard.  Once you fix networking it appears that this release is pretty solid.  Only problem that remains is the hand-on-reboot.  That one is puzzling to me...

It doesn't look like the fixes upstreamed by @aww made it into the "next" release...

You can fix the DTB and get it to work as follows (thanks to @aww and Xalius) but you have to "freeze" armbian kernel/firmware updates or it will get over-written by apt when updating (use armbian-config to free the updates).

And here is a pastebin of where to add it, with it added.

After that reboot! And networking should now work with the mainline kernel, I am also going to see if there is a way to get this into future builds so you don't even have to think about it.

Seeing the news articles about the new Pinebook Pro, I definitely think that sales of Pine64 will be much higher than before.

It seems to me that Pine64 should definitely make the purchase and delivery process much less painful in order to handle the new sales levels.

For me, the biggest pain point is that I have to handle the customs process myself which is expensive and tiresome.

Both Ebay and Amazon provides proper solutions for this problem. You pay all import duties in advance at checkout and the product gets shipped to your doorstep. No customs hassle, no extra processing fees, you just get the product delivered.

I would definitely pay 10-15 bucks more for a Pinebook / Pinebook Pro if it came via the Ebay Global Shipping Program or Amazon. I loose this money as extra customs processing fee anyways. Also, in this product category, you will have to pay the import duties as well in most countries so there is no point in hoping that it slips through the customs office and one doesn't have to pay the duties at all.

I heard in a Youtube interview that Pine64 is planning changes in the sales mechanism.

Will the Pinebooks become available via Ebay or Amazon any time soon?

Holy crap so awesome!!!

So stoked on this! But more excited for the upgrade path for the PB14!

I've been using my pinebook heavily for the past year or so and it's served me awesomely. Really excited on this news.

Hi, I have a problem with my Rock64 and I would like to know your opinion and if it is possible to find a solution.

Until 2 months ago, I was using my Rock64 as an Android TV, it wasn't constantly plugged in. Then I couldn't use it since, so I put it in my desk (in a drawer).

I now have time again and I would like to use it again except... there is a problem. When I plug in the (original) plug the all the rock64 LEDs start flashing, and nothing happens on the screen, on the power supply I can hear a little "click". So I thought that the problem came from the power supply, even if it's strange, I made a multimeter measurement, I have 5~5.2V at the output.

I then checked the physical integrity of the ROCK64 and except for a few strange little "dirt" (because it was well stored).

I can't tell if it is rust or not, it's strange, inside a desk and there is no "water source" or anything near.

Tested with and without SD Card, with and without emmc and it still the same.

Do you think i can do something to fix it ? i love that device, i'm so sad it's not working anymore, I've always made sure to store it properly so it doesn't get damaged and in the end I feel like it's worse than better.

EDIT: DECEMBER 2021 - UPDATE: My recalbox releases are now archived and outdated. I have a new retro-gaming platform, R-CADE available that replaces it.

ANNOUNCING THE UPDATED BETA - RELEASE 3 OF RECALBOX FOR THE ROCK64

The details on the previous ROCK64 releases can be found here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=6351

After many efforts with much teamwork, collaboration, and testing, we are very excited to provide an updated BETA release of RECALBOX for the ROCK64 board!

-- The download is located under this repository's releases -- 
https://github.com/mrfixit2001/recalbox_rock64/releases

Details on the ROCK64 SoC can be found here: 
https://www.pine64.org/?page_id=7147

For those of you unfamiliar with Recalbox: https://www.recalbox.com/ 
"Recalbox offers a wide selection of consoles and game systems. From the very first arcade systems to the NES, the MEGADRIVE, 32-bit platforms (such as the Playstation) and even Nintendo64. With Kodi already included, Recalbox also serves as a Media Center. By connecting it to your home network, you will be able to stream videos from any compatible devices (NAS, PC, External HDD, etc.)."

Please do keep in mind that this is still a BETA release, which means you should still EXPECT some things not to work quite right. We have done a LOT of testing on our own to try and resolve as many issues as we can before this release, but now you get to help! (Lucky you!) So if/when you do find things that don't work right, please use the link in GitHub to report the issue.

When reporting issues:
- Provide logs or screenshots of the issue so that we can see the error(s) you are seeing
- Provide detailed steps for us to follow in order to reproduce the issue

Improvements and Changes Since the Last Release:
Kernel Updates:
- Updated to version 4.4.171
- Various custom kernel fixes, mainline backports, stability and other enhancements

- Updated versions of many emulators and cores
- Customized default emulator configs to optimize performance
- Buggy button re-mapping issue is resolved
- Reicast runs at 100% speeds in most games
- PPSSPP now capable of performing at 100% speed for most games
- Customizable "max fps" setting in PPSSPP to fine tune your experience - set to 30fps to support playing demanding games (GOW) nice and smooth!
- PSP video scenes now play perfectly
- Custom fix for widescreen stretching (READ BELOW)
- VirtualJaguar is now fixed and playable
- NEOGEO Core Fixed
- Reicast Configuration Can be Edited Now
- Bluetooth Controllers Reconnect After Reboot

Important Note about Widescreens:
The majority of users will be using widescreen monitors and TVs with 16:9 aspect ratios these days, and most of these will automatically stretch a 4:3 video to 16:9 to make it full screen. This distorts the graphics and makes everything look stretched out and askew. So, I have added custom patches and new configuration settings to Mupen64, Reicast, and Retroarch to correct this so that the emulators will still render at the right scale after being stretched.  This is ON by default. 
If you do not have a widescreen monitor, or your monitor does not have this auto-stretch feature, then your games may not be centered or look too thin. In this case, simply make the following one-time changes to the configurations to turn off these customizations:
- Retroarch: use the retroarch menu to change the default - Settings->Video->Aspect Ratio
- Reicast: change the setting "rend.FixAspect" to 0 in /recalbox/share/system/configs/reicast/emu.cfg 
- Mupen64: each video plugin (core) has been given it's own setting, allowing you to customize each to your own needs, and GLES2N64 (n64 core) has it's own config file. The settings for these plugins are in /recalbox/share/system/configs/mupen64 in the files mupen64plus.cfg and gles2n64.conf. Just change the listed widths and left offsets to whatever your needs are.

Some things we have added to Recalbox that are Exclusive to Mr.Fix-It releases:
- Upgraded Kodi (and addons) from version 17 (Krypton) to a version 18 (Leia)
- InputStream.Adaptive Kodi Addon
- Multiple cores for different emulators so that you can select which core works best for you on each ROM!
- Custom resolutions and configs for most emulators to optimize performance for the specific platform
- Included Wolfenstein 3D (shareware version) in DosBox

A few things to know about this release:
When the image first boots, you can expect a delay as the partition is expanded to the full size of your disk. Please be patient and let this complete. It will not happen on every boot, but you should not interrupt this process or you may need to reimage.

Some controllers will work with KODI right out of the box without the buttons needing to be mapping (like the x360). For others, once you hit a button on the controller it will ask you to map them - you will need a keyboard to interact with KODI until your controller buttons are mapped.

N64 has multiple core options, different ROMS work better with different cores! So if your game isn't running well, try another core! In our testing we have found that MOST games will run very well with at least one available core.

Some emulators / cores are highly dependent on a valid BIOS files being installed (Dreamcast, for example). Be sure to read the documents in the system’s ROM folder for details on what BIOS files are needed. Further documentation is available on the Recalbox wiki.

A single ROM not working is not considered a "bug", it's often an incompatibility with the ROM and the emulator / core. We have provided multiple cores for some emulators to try and help maximize the number of ROMS that work.

If you are suddenly and unexpectedly thrown into KODI, then that means EmulationStation may have crashed. Please provide your /recalbox/es.log file so we can review.

"Where's the source code?" The source is being cleaned up and organized in preparation to be made available for the recalbox team to maintain, instead of having it hosted in this repository. Merging it with the recalbox repo allows them to maintain and update it, which ensures that you will receive their updates as they are made available.

Lastly, please remember this is a community build, and just something I've worked on in my free time. There's no pressure at all, but if you appreciate the work then feel free to send me a buck on Paypal: mrfixit2001 at gmail.

Special thanks go out to the LibreELEC and Recalbox teams, as well as LukasZ at Pine64 for his huge efforts in research, testing, and feedback!

Hey all,

With the help of MrFixit2001, I was able to come up with a recipe for playing hardware accelerated media files with MPV. I'm using MrFixit2001's image as a starter.

Flash this image to an SD card (Etcher) https://github.com/mrfixit2001/debian_bu...xit.img.xz
ssh or access the terminal with a keyboard (root/root or rock/rock)
