Hello All,
I saw that some users have Seagate IronWolfs disks paired with RockPro64..
There are some features that, are nice to configure on Seagate Disks..
Seagate has tools for disks..
Tools that are Present in the OpenSeaChest Utilities:
- openSeaChest_Basics
- openSeaChest_Configure
- openSeaChest_Erase
- openSeaChest_Firmware
- openSeaChest_Format
- openSeaChest_GenericTests
- openSeaChest_Info
- openSeaChest_Logs
- openSeaChest_NVMe
- openSeaChest_PowerControl
- openSeaChest_SMART
Here is the Documentation: Seagate SeaChest Utilities
The Repository is here: OpenSeaChest Utilities
You will need to compile OpenSeaChest Utilities, as root:
1) Jump to /root
2) Use last Stable Release( v19.01.31 - Released 6 days ago, by xahmad )
Code: git clone --recursive --branch v19.01.31 https://github.com/Seagate/openSeaChest.git
3) Jump into OpenSeaChest gcc compilation method and Compile the project:
OBS: I tried using parallel compilation and it failed, better to use 1 process only like bellow..
Code: cd openSeaChest/Make/gcc && make release
4) Wait for compilation to Finish, and check if there are erros at the end.
If there are no errors, then copy binaries to final destination and remove code stuff used to compile:
Code: mkdir -pv /opt/openSeaChest/bin && mv openseachest_exes/* /opt/openSeaChest/bin
cd / && rm -rf /root/openSeaChest
5) Update your root PATH environment var to know about OpenSeachest Utilities:
Code: cat <<<'export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/openSeaChest/bin"' >> /root/.bashrc
6) Exit from root and log again has root,
7) Now try to see if root, knows about OpenSeachest Utilities:
type "open" and press <TAB>, you will see at least :
Code: openSeaChest_FormatUnit openSeaChest_PowerControl
openSeaChest_Basics openSeaChest_GenericTests openSeaChest_SMART
openSeaChest_Configure openSeaChest_Info openSeaChest_ZBD
openSeaChest_Erase openSeaChest_Logs
openSeaChest_Firmware openSeaChest_NVMe
8) Now has a Candy, check information about your Disk, using openSeaChest_Basics:
Code: # openSeaChest_Basics --deviceInfo --device /dev/sdX

| Clone the SD to eMMC |

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

Hi all,
If you met such issue, hope you will share your ways.
Board : Rock64
OS : bionic-lxde-rock64-0.7.8-1061-arm64.img
Python 3.6.7
While installing scipy, numpy, scikit-image, matplotlib with pip3 command, speed is very slow and I found they were compiling with cc. But while I compiled scipy from source, some modules are not imported successfully (imsave, imread in scipy).
Did anyone know how to install these lib with pre-built distribution?
Thanks!

Anyone know how to get the video stablized on Android 8.1? Picture fluctuates between clear and blurry. I've set the screen size and font size but it's nothing like setting the resolution.
Thanks in advance.

| Rock64 Stereo Audio DAC add-on board |

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.
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

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!
