Greeting to all the forumers,
I am somehow very frustrated in my purchase of the Rock64.
I thoughty it is straightforward to install and use Libreelec.
I did successfull install it, but it kept crashing!
I decided to gives Kodi on Androidf a try. I flashed the (android-7.1-rock-64-rock64_atv-v0.3.13-r115-update.zip) image. Everything went fine, but the Ethernet connection keeps dropping!
I tried to have a static IP address instead of using DHCP for no better result!
Any advice on how to resolve this matter?
I also would like to ask if anybody had successfully managed to have higher than 1920x1080p/60 resolution?
Thanks for your help.

Dear Pine64 team! Why don't you make a regular Android build for Rock64? The TV UI in the stock OS is almost unusable with touchscreens. No navbar and status bar so it is very inconvenient to connect to network or adjust the volume. I just don't get it. Are there any TECHNICAL limitations for rk3328 for making a regular android os? Rock64 is a really great product and has a great hardware but the software side is a lot of pain

I updated the wiki with Amrbian Bionic for the Pinebook

Where can I find a timing diagram for the SPI interfaces?

It's not in the 3399 design guide or data sheet.

Hi Guys,

I'm new to Rock64. I made a retro-game platform for my son using Raspberry Pi 0 W. Now I'm going to make a 4K video player for myself.

I've got a brand new Rock64 with 2GB RAM onboard. I tried to use Android TV + Kodi combination. And Kodi can play the video file encoded in H.265 and 4K resolution very well. But I can't get 4K signal from my Rock64, it can only output 1080p signals to my Sony TV (It does support 4K resolution). Even 2160p option is unavailable in the HDMI settings of all the versions of ATV. 

Could someone tell me how to get 4K signal from my Rock64 with ATV?

Thanks a lot!

I am sure this is a basic question, but where can I get the python libraries for the Rockpro64.

I have tried the Rock64 from Laepo's github but I do not think they are right for the pro64 board.

When I did try them in Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic lxde OS build I am getting the following errors when I try to access the pins:

>>>Unable to export GPIO
>>>Unable to set GPIO Direction

Programming is fairly new to me, but I try to google everything before asking questions

Thanks

Dave

Just relaying that NetBSD images for the RockPro64 are now available for download.

Enjoy!

No matter what I do I can't get ethernet link up. I have tried three different distorts of *nix, including FreeBSD, Ambrian and Xenial with no luck. , three different cables, all known good and two working ethernet switches. What am I missing?

hi, i recently bought a rock64 4gb board. i tried lakka 2.1.1, but it shows strange graphical glitches like "interferences" in menu and games and generally very low framerates (in this video frames are acceptable if not very good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5BNIRCjJoM). so i tried another power supply and another hdmi cable, but nothing changed. then i tried ayufan's arm64 bionic-lxde build + retroarch from libretro ppa. it's better than lakka, but problems persist: no in-game graphic glitches, but framerates are lower than video reviews. only the retroarch menu shows minor graphical glitches, like not working vsync and tearing. in general, video performances are not like in video reviews.

ps: i also tried different power supplies and differnt screens.

cheers,
Gioele
