In my Rockpro64 the ethernet port no longer works. I tried an infinite number of solutions but without success. Now I was thinking of connecting an additional gigabit card either on board or on a usb3 port. Please advise me which model to install and which is compatible with the different linux distro published. Thanks

Has anyone else had problems with the integrity of their Pinebook? I look after mine like the fate of the world depends on it, yet I have noticed a crack in the keyboard part of the case. It goes from the top of the power button to near the top of the right hand screen pivot.

how on earth do you get around this?

is not working

I was stoked to see the release of Armbian-Bionic for Pine A64+ and installed it on a card a couple of days ago. It all runs well except for one problem: when the system boots, the hard-wired Ethernet port doesn't work.

The system sees it as eth0. ethtool even reports "Link detected: yes". But there are no flashing LEDs, and no data actually gets transmitted.

Sometimes when I boot it up, neither of the Ethernet LEDs will light up at all. Sometimes when I boot it up, the left LED will flash once, then nothing. And very rarely, through no pattern I've been able to discern, the system will boot, both lights will flash, and all works beautifully.

I didn't keep an accurate count, but I'd say out of 30 boots yesterday (and by that, I mean I powered it off, then back on again), the Ethernet port only worked about 5 of those times. The rest, it was dead---no lights, but, as I said, the system claimed everything was OK.

I've been running this same Pine with longsleep 3.10.105 without these problems. I've rebooted it three times this morning just to test, and all three times, the Ethernet port was live and worked fine.

Any ideas? Has anyone else seen this issue? I've love to upgrade the kernel I'm running on the Pine, but not if I can't reliably count on the networking.

I have not yet tried Armbian-Stretch.

Thanks!

I have the Rock 64 booting off of a dietpi image on a 16gb eMMC.  It was working fine for a while.  Now it is has all three LED's, Green, Red and White, at 3 second intervals.  I tried removing the eMMC and booting off of a SD, it doesn't seem to go through any boot process.  I tried connecting a serial console connection but it gives me nothing (no garbage, just nothing)  The serial connection worked in the past.  

Anybody know what that means?

Hi All,

I am new to this forum.  I am using 5 rockpro64's as a "cheap" cluster computer for parallel numerical general relativity simulations.  Only been working on it about a month.  I just installed a Samsung 500 GB ssd (960 Evo) on my head node.  I have it partitioned and formatted.  It works well.   However, now I can't do a startx command from the command line.  The system gets to the point of showing the graphical desktop with the cursor in the middle, but then hangs.  No keyboard or mouse response.  Lights on the keyboard and mouse are on.

If I power off/on then ssh into the system from another node, I can see the that ssd is automounted and I have access to it.  I can't think of a way to debug this.  Usually I like solving problems, but I don't know where to begin with this one.

Thanks for any help any of you can give.

I have rockpro64 and M2 adapter card. I'm looking for an extender cable that is low profile and not so bulky.  I'm trying to put together a low profile SBC with M2 drive and unfortunately the rockpro + M2 Adapter is too tall.  So I'm looking for an thin extender cable so I can lie the M2 Adapter along side.   Any thoughts on that?

Hi, this is a question about Kernel 4.19 and Analog Audio Jack Output on Pine64 Original (old) board.

For the Kernel 3.10, I've found a thread stating that the following modules can make the Audio Jack works:
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=807

[ modules - Kernel 3.10 ]
sunxi_codec
sunxi_i2s
sunxi_sndcodec

I am trying Armbiam with Kernel 4.19 and want to ask what are the modules that I need to have in order to make the Analog Audio Jack work?

The following are the default modules for current Armbiam (5.70):

I have tested with a 3 connectors headphone and also with a 4 connector headset... both fail...

Also, when I plug a USB to Audio (CM108) Adapter, everything works fine, so, the issue seems to be around the Audio Jack itself...

Does anybody have the Audio Jack working with Kernel 4.19 (Armbian)?
If so, what are the procedures/setup that works?

Basically, I just want audio output from the Jack, mic input, in my case is not needed...

Thanks all,
Valter Fukuoka
