Hi everyone

How do I change the DSI clock?

The software and hardware used are as follows.

Hardware: PINE A64-LTS
Software: Armbian

Thank you.

New Pinebook releases from ayufan - including Bionic with LXDE, Xenial with Mate and Stretch minimal.

Do note that that OS images designated for Pinebooks with 1080p IPS panel are designated accordingly. N.B. The new images are also available for Pinebooks from previous batches with non-1080p ISP screens.

Hello everyone,

I have a Rock64 board and have two USB wifi adapters, one with rtl8192SU chip and the other with rtl8192EU. I have spent several days trying to compile the drivers for both and changed the system from debian to ubunto and back. I cannot get the system to compile the drivers. I followed the threads here and the readme on github for several versions. Nothing is working. Can anyone direct me to a tutorial about the preparation of the system for compiling the drivers that would be enough to get this to work? I now have armbian. I successfully installed the .deb driver but it cannot identify the hardware and the driver does not show in the sysotem.

Any help is appriciated.

Can someone help me install plexdrive in RockPro64.

I'm trying it with DietPi but so far I have not succeeded.

Thank you so much guys.

One of the main reasons I bought my rock64 was in the hope of being able to use it to play 4K videos. Although I have achieved that previously with libreelec, libreelec/kodi would always crash or reboot on me after a while plus I'd prefer to run a regular/proper Linux distro and mpv is a much more powerful video player than kodi is.

Today I finally got 4K videos to play back smoothly using mpv under ayufan's bionic/lxde Ubuntu image. The secret, as disclosed by @fcoulombe on github, was to edit /usr/local/bin/rkmpv and add:


 --drm-mode=21

To the mpv options, which fixed the green lines and very jerky playback I was experiencing without. A lot of my videos require that I also use the switch

 --video-aspect=1.3333 (and --video-rotate=no)

as using that rids of the letterboxing.

Hey there,
I've been trying to set up the rock64 with an HDMI LCD (this one) for a while now. HDMI output works fine with regular monitors - however, when I try to connect to the LCD oddities follow. When using Ubuntu Mate, the LCD briefly flashes on (to a black screen) and off. I was told this may be an issue with resolution size, so I tried to use another monitor to change it; however, connecting to the LCD seemed to have broken the HDMI output. I re-flashed the MicroSD with an LXDE distro which seemed to fix the issue, then decreased the resolution before connecting to the LCD, but the same results occurred with the only difference being that the LCD displayed a 'no signal' message rather than flashing on and off.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I haven't successfully, frankly.  I've had IR on a couple of laptops before but gave up.  What I want it for is that I think I should be able to back up my IR remotes like for TVs.  When they die, and I've seen a few do that, I'll have the codes I need to program a universal remote.  I think lirc will give me an ASCII value for each key on the remote that I press, I just need to take careful notes of what button gives what code.

I did a quick search for infrared on this board and the only thing it turned up was something about the IR sensor not being connected until you. plug a jumper in or something like that.  Except I'm not getting far enough to scan for devices.  By its man page lirc-setup should:

Quote:       A  simple  GUI  tool which creates a lirc configuration after some user
       dialogs which  defines  driver,  device,  modprobe  actions,  etc.  The
       results  are  written  as  separate files in the output directory which
       defaults to lirc-setup.conf.d

Not sure what I am doing wrong. I was able to get the android 7.1 sd to emmc to work no problem. But using 2 different usb emmc adaptors (the pine64 one, and one I got off amazon) and have tried many different images and none of them will boot for me. Its like I am missing a step or something.

I am running ubuntu on my laptop, and using the pine64 etcher clone to do the imaging. I have tried downloading images to my drive and i have tried letting it download them for me. No luck.

Official etcher mostly complains that none of the images have a boot partition, yet im downloading the xz ones. I have also tried ayufan-rock64's android-7.1-rock-64-rock64_regular-v0.3.12-r114-raw.img.gz as I really want a normal android install, not the tv version but still no luck.

No matter what I have tried it sits there for days showing me "android" on the screen or it goes in constant reboot cycles, or just does nothing.

By the way I also have an older pine64 a64 without the emmc slot and I have had no issue doing the sd images for it and like bliss os for it.

Ive read the instructions at http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/NOOB under "Flashing Using the USB-to-eMMC Adaptor (Preferred Way)" and for life of me cant figure out why its not working.

Thanks for any help... ive been at this for like a month and getting nowhere, could the emmc chip that I got from pine64 be faulty?

I've tried every method that I could find to install Android on my RockPro64 but so far nothing has worked. It's always the same thing. I flash an image to my emmc or an SD card, put it in my RockPro64 and then it just does nothing, doesn't boot no matter how long I give it. 

I just tried nlem'smethod where you flash from SD to emmc on the board itself and that didn't work. I tried that with the Android 8.1 dd image from: http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/ROCKPro...roid_8.1.0

Can someone who has Android working on the RockPro64 tell me specifically what they did to get it installed and working? I hate to give up on things like this but I'm just out of ideas at this point.

Some extra info: Every other image that I've tried has worked, just not Android. I've tried it on an 8GB SD card and on a 64GB emmc. Whenever I do flash it to anything it shows there's no partitions on the SD card or emmc, I'm not sure if that's normal or not. The extracted image file is about 7.2GB in size and most of it is empty data when I look at it in a hex editor. I guess that's how it's supposed to be. I've tried extracting it in multiple ways on both Windows and Linux.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi this is not a call for help but a post to inform other noobs like me, at first i was unable to activate HDMI audio on 0.7.x, then i found that the solution is actually documented here but i found another "issue", the solution was lost on restart, so i kept digging and i finally found how to solve it consistently:
