For some reason, my 1080p Pinebook has a stable connection only with my home network. I run Armbian Mainline (but I've seen similar behavior with KDE Neon, too). When I connect to other networks, such as my work Wi-Fi network - connection randomly goes down and won't connect after that at all. The only solution in this case for me is to do

# rmmod 8723cs
# modprobe 8723cs

But this works only until first connection loss, because it would eventually stop reconnecting again and module would have to be reloaded again. This is most likely a driver issue. Has anyone encountered such behavior?

hello,
it's possible use the cpu cooler with DAC Audio on Rock64 ?

The TOSLINK out, work with OpenMediaVault 4 ?


Thanks in advance

Hello,

currently i try a usb3 camera in order to evaluate the performances of such camera on the Rock64. This camera is able to supply 240 frame/sec with a resolution of 1448x1086 and it works fine on a pc; the required bandwidth for such data flow (1448x1086x240x8bits = ~2.9 Gbits/sec) is largely supported by the USB3 which allows up to ~5GBits/sec.
On the Rock64 i can get only 200 frame/sec ( ~2.4 Gbits/sec / ~300 Mo/sec) which is sufficient for my application , but which is also lower than what the camera can do. As i read on this forum that some users encountered problems with the "speed"  of usb3 storage devices, i wonder what is at the origine of this low usb3 bandwidth of the rock64: the soc (rk3328), DRAM, the linux version i used (bionic), ...?

Regards

I have recently purchased Pina64+ board and tested with Armbain server image based on kernel 3.10. I need to connect audio codec
in the I2S pin of Euler bus.  I would like to know what all changes in the dtb file or even in the kernel need to be made in order to work
with my audio codec which works in master mode. Basically A64+ should work in slave mode.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

I found two Pine A64 2GB laying around few days ago and decided it's time to make them useful.
So I installed armbian xenial on 32GB samsung evo card on one of them and then installed latest version of mongodb community version on it.
I can't run mongo.
I can't open log file to see what's wrong.
System hangs every little while.
I'm very disappointed and don't know what to do.

Boy, this board sucks.

Hi.
I want to make a small home server system which would mainly include Pine64 ROCK64 - Rockchip RK3328 Cortex A53 Quad-Core 1,2GHz + 2GB RAM and a RaidSonic IB-RD2253-U31 (2 x 2.5" Seagate Momentus 7200 HDD).
I've got info from RaidSonic that Linux is not supported by them, but I've read that someone connected a IB-3620U3 disk array to a Ubuntu OS easily.

So my question is ...  Will my configuration communicate and work?

I would love to get some help from you guys.

Anyone run into this issue on the 14" pinebook?  I can't boot from the sd card nor does it see it after I boot from the eMMC. I had to disassemble it to remove the eMMC storage to flash via the eMMC to micro sd card adapter on another computer.  I can see/mount/read a thumb drive plugged into the usb port on the same daughter card that the micro sd card reader is on.  Not sure what device to search for in dmesg for this micro sd card reader or what to check.

Hello,
since I'd like to use the wifi module via sdio, I wanted to boot the 0.7.7 debian image.
That doesn't work and I only get the following messages on boot:

Recently, I've been going through all my hobby boards and came across my original Pine A64 from the Kickstarter Project and have decided to try to find a purpose for it.

1.  Can anyone recommend a general purpose linux distro that is kept up-to-date and works well ( can be headless ).
2.  I'm open to suggestions for making it useful.  For example, I already have Pihole and MotionOS going on two first gen Raspberry Pis.

Thanks in advance!
