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-2   (                    |?                   ) out lo    
 gpio-30  (                    |vcc_sd              ) out lo    
 
GPIOs 32-63, platform/pinctrl, gpio1:
 gpio-50  (                    |mdio-reset          ) out hi  
 
GPIOs 64-95, platform/pinctrl, gpio2:
 
GPIOs 96-127, platform/pinctrl, gpio3:
 
GPIOs 510-511, platform/rk8xx-gpio, rk8xx-gpio, can sleep:
 gpio-510 (                    |?                   ) out lo    
 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!

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.

To get a quick overview of what EasyOS is all about, see here:

https://easyos.org/about/how-and-why-eas...erent.html

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.
