Hi all. My recent attempts to find a new use case for the Pine64 have been dashed on my particular hardware. I keep coming up against road blocks.
A recent attempt to Install and run Asterisk on Armbian Stable proved problematic. As posted on the Pine-Armbian sub-forum, I found a Call Trace in the kernel and
had to question its suitability for this task. Now, with a new install of Archlinux with kernel (4.20.0-2-ARCH) I find that problems with the Pine64 persist. Not sure where to go from here. The Pine64 worked fine for Android 6,7 as a media box. Your thoughts ..
I have it built and running on 2 or 3 Rpi 3's then I turned to the Rock64. I get the obnoxious message that the compiler cannot create executables, which can mean anything, there was just some error compiling a test program.
This doesn't work on my Rock64 (does on Pis)
./configure CFLAGS="-O3 -mfpu=neon"
If I drop out the neon part so it's just
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
Then it works. But you get just compiled C, not the ARM assembly language that Pooler wrote. So it's slower than a Pi. I get 0.97 khash/s instead of 1.32 or so. (Per thread)
If I do cat /proc/cpuinfo that mentions neon on a Pi, not on a Rock64.
I've seen it written each way. For instance, this category is "SOPINE" and the schematics say "SOPINE", but the Armbian welcome message displays "SoPine". The modules themselves say "SOPine". So is it Sopine, SOPINE, SOPine or SoPine?
On the clusterboard v2.2 the reset button won't restart shutdown SOPINE modules - they stay off with a dim PL7 green light. Any suggestions to restart individual SOPINEs?
I'm leaning toward shorting the VCC and GND on the jumper pins beside each SOPINE. I could rig each set of jumpers with a toggle switch. Any suggestions on the best way to do this without harming my SOPINEs?
Hi all. Archlinux is up and running on the Pine64. Yay has been installed - and in turn used to install the Asterisk phone application.
Can anyone comment in why it will not start? ... please refer to attachment. Any helpful advice on using the new Archlinux also appreciated.
I just purchased another Rock64 to build another NAS using OMV and I decided to get the premium aluminum case this time. It arrived with no instructions and I have a couple of questions:
1) The kit includes 2 pieces of blue thermal tape and a little packet of thermal compound. Am I supposed to use all three (stacked) in the assembly?
2) There is a little acrylic light pipe that looks like it should go in a hole near the white and red LEDs but it is too big. Do I just need to drill the hole in the case out a little?
Thanks for any help from those who've gone before me.
Does the Rock64 support 10 bit HEVC 1080p and 4K content?
I've heard that LibreELEC for Rock64 does support it, but it's in alpha and seemingly not very reliable. The other option is ayufan's ATV build, but I'm not sure if HEVC 10 bit is supported on this.
Will I be able to play HEVC 10 bit content on ayufan's ATV build? Also, what is the extent of HDR support on it? I currently only have a 1080p TV but plan to upgrade to a 4K HDR TV in the near future.
Hello, I'm working on a project and I want to power the rock64 board off an external USB battery,
I was thinking about soldering the plus and minus wires from the USB port to the plus and minus of the barrel power jack.
I know I won't get charge information or anything, but will the battery recognize that it's being used and won't automatically shut down?
does anyone have any experience with running the board on battery?
Thanks a lot,
Omer.
