  Unable to access other UART devices
Posted by: alistair23 - 10-05-2018, 12:16 AM - Forum: Linux on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - Replies (6)

I have a SparkFun GPS module (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11058) connected to my SOPINE board but I am unable to see any of the UART traffic.

I am running the latest mainline Arch kernel:
  Linux alarm 4.18.0-2-ARCH #1 SMP Fri Sep 14 15:51:33 PDT 2018 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I have tried connecting it to both UART2 and UART4 with no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas on getting this to work? I see traffic when connecting it to the HiKey 96board. It should be outputting 3.3V which should work with UART2.


  cpu and case fan headers on PRO (NAS box)
Posted by: dkebler - 10-04-2018, 03:56 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (9)

I am assembling a recently arrived "new" NAS box.  There are of course two fans (cpu, case).  There is only one header labeled FAN (near gpio bus).   I assume that if for the cpu fan and can be controlled by os/kernel?   Where then should the case fan connect?  There is another compatible two pin header labeled RIC nearby the fan header.

Also Is there any proper "motherboard" manual like one would get with a standard motherboard.    The wiki has no detailed information on the board and it's connectors/headers.

  Most stable Linux rom and 1080p support?
Posted by: Nelly - 10-04-2018, 01:05 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (2)

Hello there are many Linux roms available for the rock64, can someone please advise me on the most stable Linux rom? Can Linux support 1080p video yet? Not just though kodi or whatever, I want to be able to use my browser and log in to steaming services like Skygo for example. Like I would on desktop, thanks.


  writing dts overlay for mcp2515
Posted by: Hydrocactus - 10-04-2018, 09:23 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

Hi there I'm trying to write a dts file to make "pican2" mcp2515 based hat working on armbian, I've wrote a dts file, compiled it, and I've put it in /boot/overlay-user/.
It's not working.

I've tried hard, but now as I'm stuck and because I'm a noob in devices-tree world I come here to ask for help, so please take a look.


here is my dts file:


Code:
/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;


/ {
   compatible = "rockchip,rk3328", "pine64,rock64";
    fragment@0 {
        target-path = "/spi@ff190000";
               //target = <&spi0>;
        __overlay__ {
            status="okay";
            spidev@0{
                            status = "disabled";
                       };
                       spidev@1{
                               status = "disabled";
                       };
        };
    };
/* the interrupt pin of the can-controller */
   fragment@1 {
         target-path = "/pinctrl/gpio3@ff240000";
         //target = <&gpio3>;
         __overlay__ {
             can0_pins: can0_pins {
                 rockchip,pins = <0 7 0 &pcfg_pull_none>;
          //phandle = <1>;
             };
         };
   };

/* the clock/oscillator of the can-controller */
   fragment@2 {
       target-path = "/";
       __overlay__ {
           /* external oscillator of mcp2515 on SPI0.0 */
           can0_osc: can0_osc {
               compatible = "fixed-clock";
               #clock-cells = <0>;
               clock-frequency  = <16000000>;
           };
       };
   };

/* the spi config of the can-controller itself binding everything together */
   fragment@3 {
       target-path = "/spi@ff190000";
       //target = <&spi0>;
       __overlay__ {
           /* needed to avoid dtc warning */
           #address-cells = <1>;
           #size-cells = <0>;
           can0: can0@0 {
        //phandle = <1>;
               reg = <0>;
               compatible = "microchip,mcp2515";
               pinctrl-names = "default";
               pinctrl-0 = <&can0_pins>;
        //pinctrl-0 = "/pinctrl/gpio3@ff240000/can0_pins/";
               spi-max-frequency = <10000000>;
               interrupt-parent = <&gpio3>;
               //interrupt-parent = "/pinctrl/gpio3@ff240000";
               interrupts = <7 0x2>; // 7 2
               //clocks = "/can0_osc";
               clocks = <&can0_osc>;
           };
       };
   };
};


and here is what I can read in my dmesg:

  Multiarch liveusb?
Posted by: graphical - 10-03-2018, 02:21 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

Hello all,
I got a really cool idea and I need to be tuned down a bit.

I'm making myself a bootable usb drive.
Thing is, I want to know if it is even possible to have ONE bootable usb drive for both ARM64 and x64 at once.
Maybe there is some magical™ bootloader that would work on arm as well as x64 from a single compile?
I've been googling this quite a bit, but nothing relevant has come up. This usually means that I'm acting a fool.

Putting this in the linux section, because I want to know if GRUB is even available for the Rock64.

Again, thank you for your time.

Hello there,

Are there any other payment methods other than PayPal or anything through it. I have Debit Card and I want to make full purchase, but I'm unable to. Kindly guide me out as PayPal is not available in Pakistan.


Bug Rock64 Login
Posted by: lpninja - 10-01-2018, 10:24 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (1)

Hi everyone!Nice to meet you. 

I have a Rock64 v2.0, 20170713

I installed:

Armbian_5.59_Rock64_Debian_stretch_default_4.4.152_desktop.img using the Etcher flasher on microSD.

The first time I insert the flashed microSD card into the Rock64 i eventually get a login prompt asking for user.

I write in user: root and press enter.
There is now no response or it hangs for a long time and I don't get the password prompt. Sad

Then I press reset on the Rock64 board and after a while i do get some text on the screen, mainly hexadecimals and addresses cycling through, then the screen goes black. This goes on an infinite repeat loop.

I have a keyboard and mouse plugged in and wired Ethernet.

Does anyone have this or am I approaching this the wrong way? Confused

Many thanks,
luke


Question benefits of eMMC?
Posted by: SirSkorpan - 10-01-2018, 02:20 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (5)

I'm considering buying a RockPro64 to use as a NAS and general server, I saw that one could buy eMMC modules to use as internal memory for the board. I have a few questions here:

  • What is the benefit of using eMMC rather than SD card? Speed, longer lifetime or the storage?
  • How is the eMMC module attached to the board? I couldn't identify an obvious slot or similar connection.
  • What is the purpose of the USB adapter, is it to "burn" the OS image to the eMMC or do you need it to attach the eMMC to the board?
