I have some kiosk built on Raspberry Pi 3 doing advertising in various places. Wifi or wired.  They work fine but I am looking for potential replacements.  Would like more RAM and faster wifi.

I am testing Rock64 with 2gb ram and using the emmc along with Odroid wifi dongle. The one with big antenna.
I loaded Bionic desktop LXDE.  I am at the point that I have it boot directly into Chromium and to a web site to get the graphics for the kiosk.  All is running with 2 problems.


The wrong resolution is being used. It says it is 1920x1080p/60.  The color is poor/wrong and its a grainy display on full screen.  I am using HDMI on to a Visio 32 inch TV.  (RPI3 work correctly on the TV).   Using xrandr command it says the resolution is 1824x984 when running RPi3.  Its 1920x1080 on the Rock64.

Second issue is when using wifi and following a reboot,  it will often fail to establish a wifi connection in time to connect to web site.  I do a sleep 30s before launching which made it better but not 100%. I could increase the sleep time. Just wondering if there is something else.

The resolution issue is the show stopper.  Any thoughts on how to get it correct.
Thanks

Hi, I'm new to the forum and with the products of pine64. I want to make a custom cabinet, but I can not find any outline of measures.

Where do I find something like this LINK, that I leave below? (I have a ROCKPro64 v 2.1). I hope you help me. Thanks greetings.

No, not the Annie Proulx novel or the Kevin Spacey film. My other thread was getting off topic.

So, as the weeks slip by, has anybody got info about our 11.6" Pinebooks being shipped out from Shenzhen?

Hello,
Pinebook 14" for sale.
It is in perfect condition.
It currently resides in Finland.
Purchased 1 year ago.

Included:

• the 64GB emmC, and
  
• the original 16GB one.
  
• original charger.
  
• original stiff plastic packaging (good for shipping)
  
• ...and to sweeten the deal: a 32GB MicroSD HC card (it will be in the slot when you get the book).
  

I have been pulling off my hairs for more than one day.

I managed to set-up a static IP address in /etc/networks/interface.d/eth0 but Debian insists on setting also a dynamic address.

How can I tell the system that I am a big boy, i know what I am doing and I would really really prefer it does not try to hold my hand, because all it does is having me trip over.

I need to set-up a static IP and only that static IP, because that is the only IP that I can use to access internet. But with the dynamic IP, all connections are initiated using that dynamic IP and the firewall will not let the connection pass through.

As I am using the latest Debian image, it has no GUI, so all I have is command line, and I can't figure out what to do.

Thanks in advance,

Olivier

I tried the NetBSD image, the resulting SD is formatted with FAT and the card will not even power-up.

Am I missing something obvious? I am very new with SBC in general.

Thank sin advance,

Hello!

I would like to get working 2K display with ROCK-PRO64 over MIPI.

Are there any tested solutions? What displays are working?

I have found couple, how can I connect them to ROCK PRO 64?

1) LCD from HUAWEI MediaPad M3 BTV W09:

   

2) LCD from Xiaomi mi Pad 4:

   

There are Slackware-images for ROCK64 and Pinebook. 

Why not for A64-LTS? Will there be slackware-images in the future? Thank you.

When can we expect full support for the RockPro64 in the regular Linux kernel? I'm just curious because it would be kind of nice if it were possible to use an official distro image (i.e. Debian) instead of having to depend on Ayufan and others to keep making images for the RockPro64.

Pinebook I bought not so recently has Xenial pre-installed. It is all working relatively well, but now I would like to upgrade it to the latest LTS Ubuntu (Bionic Beaver) and I need some guide to follow (if it exists)...

Alternatively, could someone refer to a Fedora installer for Pinebook (as I am predominantly RH/AL/CentOS/Fedora user)...
