Hi All,

New to this single board computer scene and to the Linux scene as well. I like the OS, after using windows for so long makes things a little difficult. So my question is  I have tested all the OS images for the Rockpro64, only one goes to desktop(thats the LXDE image). is there a way to get the rest of the images to a desktop? they only show terminal for me, is that how it is supposed to be? I would like to get a debian or ubuntu(normal version I guess) how do I get the minimal images to that? just asking for help. thanks in advance. Big Grin


Wink PCI-E add-on Success & Failures
Posted by: macross_dyrl - 08-25-2018, 06:41 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (23)

Good day,

I purchased two of the Rockpro64 Boards and NAS case. 
So far I really like the unit. 
I plan on donating second board to freebsd project.  waiting on them to tell me where to send it.

I am starting to try a few PCI boards boards in the rockpro64. 

I was able to get High point RAId card that comes with san digital to work after upgrade of the kernel.
Please post any PCI devices that work here and anything you need to do to get it recognized.

  RockPRO64 Playbox vs PINE64 Playbox
Posted by: Firesped - 08-25-2018, 08:23 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - No Replies

just wondering what the differences between these 2 products are, as the RockPRO64 playbox just went up on the store but I had already put an order in for the other one. It looked like the PINE64 playbox is compatible to me. That is why I ordered it.

are there plans to produce a battery that hooks internally into the power port for the RockPro64?

and to further ask, what other accessories are you planning for this device so we can just get all this amazement out of the way at how awesome this product is? what do you have planned?


Lightbulb Home server questions
Posted by: jannerman - 08-25-2018, 07:40 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (3)

Hello all,
 
I need a small server to run on my living room (no space elsewhere), to be quiet and to use it for storage/nas, plex server, kodi, and some gaming if applicable (mame, snes psx etc) while will be connected to my 40" TV.
 
When I looked on RockPro64 4GB with the NAS case I thought that this is ideal for the job that I want.
 
So I intent to buy RockPro64 4GB, NAS Case, emmc 64GB, WiFi/Bluetooth Module, heatsinks/fan, PSU EU 5A and connect 2 HDD on it.
But before I buy it I have some questions, and I will appreciate any help:
1) Is v2.1 board available and without any H/W problems as the versions before (resistor removal etc)
2) Does PCIe SATA card works?
3) Which linux distro do you suggest in order to have desktop experience?
4) Based on (3) does it supports HW acceleration for Kodi?
5) Based on (3) can run Plex server (not just stream but transcode)?
6) Based on (3) I would want to install MAME, snes etc emulators. Would a bluetooth gamepad work?
7) Based on (3)  will a bluetooth Air mouse work?
 
The board will work as a server and NAS mostly but I want to be easy to control it with mouse and play some retro games from time to time.

EDIT: Looking the new ABS case with the graphene heatsink, I was thinking If I could power up a 2.5" HDD 1TB that I have with an external enclosure from the USB3.0 port.
It would take less space in the shelve under my TV.


Question SolusVM
Posted by: jcarroll53 - 08-24-2018, 04:58 PM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - No Replies

Anyone know if it is possible to run a SolusVM Slave Only server on a Pine A64? Side question, would it be better to run SolusVM Slave Only on a Rock64 instead?


  Clusterboard dimensions
Posted by: Pine - 08-24-2018, 03:58 PM - Forum: Clusterboard - Replies (3)

Does anyone have the LWH dimensions of the clusterboard in millimeters handy? The height to the top of the inserted SOPINE module would be great too. Thx


  man breaks after upgrade to 18.04
Posted by: goathunter - 08-24-2018, 10:37 AM - Forum: Ubuntu - Replies (9)

In a possibly silly move, last night, I upgraded Ubuntu MATE on my Pine A64+ from 16.04 to 18.04.

I'm still running the longsleep kernel 3.10.105. I was a little surprised that the upgrade worked, but it did. Everything was/is looking good, except that man is broken. When I run "man --debug man", I see:

Code:
man: can't execute preconv: Operation not permitted
loading seccomp filter (permissive: 1)
loading seccomp filter (permissive: 1)
loading seccomp filter (permissive: 0)
seccomp already enabled
man: can't execute col: Operation not permitted
man: can't execute tbl: Operation not permitted
trying encoding UTF-8 -> UTF-8//IGNORE
groff: couldn't exec troff: Operation not permitted


I can, of course, run all of those interactively without any problem.

Has anybody else tried upgrading to 18.04 and/or have any idea what the problem here might be?

Thanks!


  Does anyone have kodi working?
Posted by: blahblahblah - 08-24-2018, 09:48 AM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - Replies (6)

I just got my rockpro64 and I am trying to get it setup to run kodi and retroarch.  I have it running on the bionic-lxde-rockpro64-0.7.9-1067-arm64.img.xz image.  But I have no sound in kodi.  Sound works in mplayer after removing pulseaudio, but it gives the "your system is too slow" warning when trying to play any 1080p videos.


  Pine LCD on Rock64Pro
Posted by: DStanman - 08-22-2018, 11:20 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (11)

I have read the threads on the 7” LCD that Pine sells.

I am looking to get this working on the Rock64Pro, but using the Bionic LXDE image.

1. No LCD by default. No power on, no backlight. HDMI works by default.
2. I tried setting the uEvb.txt lines, but that doesn’t existing in /boot/. Adding it had no effect.

Anyone able to help point me in the right direction?


  Customize LCD
Posted by: r.tanaka - 08-22-2018, 10:44 PM - Forum: LCD and Touch Panel - No Replies

Hi everyone

I'd like to change the setting value (resolution, format, porch, etc..) of DSI.

Therefore, do the following procedure.

1. edit /boot/uEnv.txt
 add disp_screen0=lcd

2. edit /boot/pine64/sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dtb 

Code:
       lcd0@01c0c000 {
           compatible = "allwinner,sunxi-lcd0";
           pinctrl-names = "active", "sleep";
           status = "okay";
           device_type = "lcd0";
           lcd_used = <0x0>;
           lcd_driver_name = "mb709_mipi";
           lcd_backlight = <0x32>;
           lcd_if = <0x4>;
           lcd_x = <0x216>;
           lcd_y = <0x4B0>;
           lcd_width = <0x0>;
           lcd_height = <0x0>;
           lcd_dclk_freq = <0x37>;
           lcd_pwm_used = <0x1>;
           lcd_pwm_ch = <0x10>;
           lcd_pwm_freq = <0xc350>;
           lcd_pwm_pol = <0x1>;
           lcd_pwm_max_limit = <0xfa>;
           lcd_hbp = <0x78>;
           lcd_ht = <0x604>;
           lcd_hspw = <0x14>;
           lcd_vbp = <0x17>;
           lcd_vt = <0x27b>;
           lcd_vspw = <0x2>;
           lcd_dsi_if = <0x2>;
           lcd_dsi_lane = <0x4>;
           lcd_dsi_format = <0x0>;
           lcd_dsi_eotp = <0x0>;
           lcd_dsi_vc = <0x0>;
           lcd_dsi_te = <0x0>;
           lcd_frm = <0x0>;
           lcd_gamma_en = <0x0>;
           lcd_bright_curve_en = <0x0>;
           lcd_cmap_en = <0x0>;
           lcd_bl_en = <0x30 0x7 0xa 0x1 0x0 0xffffffff 0x1>;
           lcd_bl_en_power = "none";
           lcd_power = "vcc-mipi";
           lcd_fix_power = "vcc-dsi-33";
           lcd_gpio_0 = <0x30 0x3 0x18 0x1 0x0 0xffffffff 0x1>;
       };

The modified part is lcd_x and lcd_y.

3. reboot

When rebooted, a kernel panic has occurred.

Is there a mistake in the procedure?

Thank you.
