I just got my rockpro64 2gb (board rev 2.1), and while it boots up fine, it isn't detecting my LSI HBA PCIe card.

lspci just gives no output at all, so I don't think it is simply a missing kernel module.

I'm using the debian stretch image off of the wiki.

I'm also getting errors in dmesg that may or may not be relevant:
[    8.566853] cdn-dp fec00000.dp: Direct firmware load for rockchip/dptx.bin failed with error -2
[   16.581959] cdn-dp fec00000.dp: Direct firmware load for rockchip/dptx.bin failed with error -2

[  128.588049] cdn-dp fec00000.dp: [drm:cdn_dp_request_firmware] *ERROR* Timed out trying to load firmware

I did do an apt-get update/upgrade and rebooted, and the issue persists.  uname -a output:
Linux chunk1 4.4.132-1075-rockchip-ayufan-ga83beded8524 #1 SMP Thu Jul 26 08:22:22 UTC 2018 aarch64 GNU/Linux

That kernel doesn't look terribly fresh...

I'll also go ahead and confess that while I'm quite comfortable with linux inside and out, I rarely use debian-based distros, so please do list complete instructions (typically I use Gentoo) or provide links if you want me to do something like run a custom kernel.  

Any suggestions?

New Pinebook 11.6``. 

1 - Where are the apostrophe and the quotation mark?
2 - How can I adjust the screen brightness - is there a key combination?

Sorry, total dunce here.

I recently received a wifi BT adapter from Edimax and I need some help installing the driver. apparently I have to actually make the driver from the files? the directions are so sparse for a dummy like me.

the model i got was EW-7611ULB. The driver download is here.

[I was trying to get teh BT to work first. What I down understand is why the WiFi driver is buried in a tar.gz within a zip??]

any guidance would be most appreciated! 

When I get to make file I get the error in the attached image. Not even sure if i'm doing that right.

hello, I've recently received my Pinebook with the 1080 screen. all was going well until I dimmed the screen too far in the plasma settings window. Now my screen is black when it is on. during boot I see things as the boot sequence clearly is not affected by the plasma setting. How can I fix this without being able to see anything? This is with the original install.

If the slider goes all the way to the left does plasma actually go black or is there some weakness with my screen in this Pinebook?

The PSU of my RockPro64 sometimes has a high pitched noise, coil whine. Do others have this issue too and can it be fixed?

Hello!

So, I have just got my wonderful RockPro64 and NAS enclosure going and I'm now starting to get the software set up. One thing I have noticed though is that after a while with no activity the RockPro64 (RP64) seems to go to sleep and no longer responds to an `ssh` login attempt.

Does anyone know if the RP64 can be set up with either `wakeonlan` or `eitherwake`? (I read somewhere about the BIOS needing to support this.)


I think I'll just give it a go but would be interested to hear from others if they think that is the right approach for a NAS/Docker setup. Perhaps not letting it sleep at all will be best. ?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Not sure if this is the right place for this but I'll try.

I got my new 1080p 11.6" pinebook yesterday, I'm typing this post on it. Fun.

It still has the OS it shipped with (don't even know what it's called).

IPv6 autoconfig is not working. I don't get a global address. It works on my Mac on the same networks (meaning I get a global address on it). I'm more of a BSD guy than Linux, so I'm probably missing something.

I wiresharked the router solicitation and advertisement. The solicitation is not the same as the Mac and I'm not sure if that matters. The advertisement from the router is the same one the Mac uses successfully though.

IPv6 does work, I can ping the link local address on other systems. Just no global address so I can get to the internet with IPv6.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

So what now? I have downloaded and etched the latest KDE image on a micro SD.
Now I put the card into the Pinebook and that thing boots into a nice Linux KDE Desktop.
Now, how do I move that image to the eMMC?
Bear in mind, the eMMC is empty and unformatted, I only have the KDE on the micro SD....

I replaced the eMMC and put in a SD card with a OS 'etched' to it. I can hold down the power button until I see the LCD backlight come on, but .. there's no bootup sequence. Am I missing something?

Most cases for the A64 will fit the RockPro64, correct?

Does anyone know of any case options with a fan? 

This is the only one I've found: https://www.c4labs.com/product/zebra-cla...e-options/, but I'm not sure it will fit the RockPro64. Has anyone tried this case?
