Hey guys
Does anyone have Rock64 board with *nix 100% working?
I bought 3 boards Rock64-4G and all of them does not seem to work
One is not able to read/write eMMC (and CPU becomes very hot) - I sent it back
Two others are very unstable. I've tried ayufan's Debian Stretch, Ubuntu Bionic and DietPi
All of them crash when doing intensive I/O together with intensive CPU load. No matter eMMC or external SSD drive
I believe problem lies in poor I/O bus programming in ayufan's code
Please let me know if anyone have completely working board

Hi,

I have referred wiki (http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PINE_A6..._Main_Page) and interested on PINE A64-LTS as it supports Android 7.
Our yearly production will be around 2000 units.

Queries:
1. Till which year you can support us on PINE A64-LTS ?
2. Do you provide Android SDK for Android 7x to customize the same from our side ? Does it require any license for commercialization ?
3. What is the PCB size and cost (for 1K unit)
4. What are the compliance (CE/FCC/UL/RoHS etc.) you have?
5. Is it possible to provide over the air (OTA) OS upgrade for future android release ?
6. What kind of support option you have ?
7. What is the lead time to order first 100 units ?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Dear Pine Users,

thank you for providing the discussion group for the ROCK64 platform. I tried to use a custom compiled kernel for several days now. Unfortunately, every attempt results in a system that does not boot.

The most promising way seemed to me the following with a newly installed distribution via Etcher. I took the Ubuntu 18.4. Desktop variant. Then I have executed the following commands on-board:

-----------------
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

sudo apt -y install cmake build-essential python-minimal bison flex bc libssl-dev libncurses5-dev lzop make u-boot-tools binfmt-support ninja-build libfl-dev python python2.7 swig libpython-dev flash-kernel

sudo reboot

mkdir workspace

cd workspace

git clone https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-m...kernel.git

cd linux-mainline-kernel

make rockchip_linux_defconfig

make -j4

sudo make modules_install

sudo make dtbs_install

sudo make install
-----------------

After this, the platform will not reboot. I just get a black screen. The LEDs of the ROCK64 just light up a few seconds. Then only the green LED remains.

I have checked the file /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
If I remove the entries for the newly installed kernel, the platform boots with the old kernel again (4.4.).
By the way, why do I have /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf and /boot/efi/extlinux/extlinux.conf?

I hope, you can give me a hint, what is missing or how I can debug this issue, since I do not see any output, also not from u-boot.

Best regards,

I am running Q4OS with the Openbox window manager.

What is the best/easiest way to pair and connect to Bluetooth headphones?

Has anyone managed to run docker images on pine64?

I have managed to get docker running by following this guide: https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/
The problem is then that I get this message:

Hi,
Just for giving my first (and last) impression on Android on rock64. To try it, i flash android 8.1 on a SD card.

First remark is that my screen (1920x1200) is not recognized, fortunately, a standard TV is. Then, after booting, i was able to change the language, but my Azerty keyboard was still not recognized; apparently Android only knows qwerty keyboard. To be able to use my keyboard, i had to install a software found on the net (thanks to google), even if android says that this software can record keyboard entries, password,... .
The good thing, is that everything seems to work (wifi dongle, wireless usb keyboard+mouse). The videos (youtube,...) seems to be more quicker than with ubuntu 18.04. The bad thing is the UI: what an horrible UI which is absolutly not practical. I really think that android is not made for a device like an SBC with standard keyboard.

So,  end of my android experience on rock64.  
regards

Just committed this today:
https://github.com/MattAndrzejczuk/Retro...K64-PINE64

This git repo is essentially a vast sh script that tells your Ubuntu OS which packages are needed to be installed in order to get all the top emulators out there i.e. Sega Genesis, SNES, N64 etc... fully running on your ARM device.

This setup script is expecting you to already be running Ubuntu 16 or later.

Once the installer finished, start playing games by entering:

Pine64 running Armbian with kernel 3.10.107-pine64


Hi all. After installing Armbian from here 
https://www.armbian.com/pine64/,
I came across some errors appearing in the logs - see attached. Had a look at the Armbian forum which has a lot of traffic, mostly about other hardware brands, so I came here. Can anyone comment on the problem? or interpret their importance?

My use case is creating a PBX box running voip. This is available through the Debian repos.

Hello everyone,

I just signed up as I recently received an 11" PineBook. I'm quite pleased with what I got for my money, and I have a few things I'd like to do with it.

My first question is how to verify that the 16Gb eMMC is present, and how to use it? I opened the back of the laptop and I can see the eMMC module is physically there, however the OS is warning me that I am low on disk storage, and 'df' shows that I have very little storage available.

Thanks.

has anyone had success with using the eDP port?

i tried connecting a VVX10F011B00 http://www.panelook.com/VVX10F011B00_Pan...21047.html
display. however nothing happens.

since i do not have a datasheet i cant find out whether the display is kaputt, its incompatible or if i need to do something in software.

any hints appreciated
