  USB 2.0 OTG port
Posted by: gautham159 - 10-05-2018, 11:22 AM - Forum: Ubuntu - Replies (3)

I have rock64 board, flashed Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic minimal 64bit Image booting off of sd-card. Updated rk3328-rock64.dts


Code:
&usb20_otg { dr_mode = "**peripheral**"; status = "okay"; };

compiled and updated rk3328-rock64.dtb. Connected usb (type A) cable, rock64 USB 2.0 OTG port - latop. Laptop couldn't detect the usb-serial connection though.


Is rock64 OTG port working? am I missing any steps?

Any suggestion is very much appreciated because otg support is the blocker!!

Thank you in advance,
Gautham


  Flashing android to eMMC from linux sd card boot
Posted by: nlem - 10-05-2018, 07:24 AM - Forum: Android on RockPro64 - Replies (1)

This is a method that worked to install android 8.1 onto emmc without using the emmc to SD card adaptor.
It also worked when using the Android tools did not.
Someone else may find this useful

=== Flashing Android to eMMC from Linux SD Boot (ROCKPro64)===

This method enables installing android to emmc using dd method without an emmc adaptor.
Can also be an alternate method if other methods are unsuccesful

Install Linux to an SD Card (Verified with bionic but may work with others).
Insert SD and empty eMMc (eMMc card must be empty so that ROCKPro64 boots off SD card).
(If necessary, emmc can be cleared using android tools linked below)
Boot Linux
Download desired dd android image from pine64 using curl (curl http://link_to_rockpro64_image.img.xz --output AndroidImage.img.xz)
Extract android image using unxz (unxz AndroidImage.img.xz)
Verify that emmc is visible by typing sudo fdisk -l | less. 
eMMc should be shown as /dev/mmcblk1 with the correct size
Write android image to emmc using dd (sudo dd if=./AndroidImage.img od=/dev/mmcblk1)
Wait for dd to finish. (if screen turns off give it another 10 minutes and assume its done).
Unplug power, remove sd card.
Plug power back in and enjoy android.


Thanks to lucasz for helping out.

  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.

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:
