Currently running Xenial MATE 16.0 and am I trying 'do-release-upgrade' to 18.04 with no success on my Pine A64 (the original).   Wanted to confirm if anyone has done actually done this?     Was following instructions on the web like  (
https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/homese...-04-64-bit )   but then I realize that maybe pine64 and rock64 names are being mixed together.

Can someone confirm that what I'm attempting is indeed possible?

Hello Community!

What about hardware graphics accelerator in desktop environment?

As i know, rockchip have midifed x11-server with glamur driver. Maybe any body have builded OS image with this x11-server?

Or what other solutions are  available? Maybe wayland with hardware 3d accel?

Supported 128GB eMMC 5.1 Module for ODroid XU3/XU4?

• eMMC Version 5.1 interface from Sandisk/Toshiba
  
• JEDEC/MMCA Version 5.1: HS400 interface with 8bit DDR mode
  

Disable sdio (no wifi/bt) to fix pcie/nvme support on 4.4 for RockPro64,

hi, I see this still stands according to notes .

I see the fix but that is over my head as a newbie.  Do you have a video of someone going thru the steps S L O W L Y?   I CAN FOLLOW VIDEO.

If there is someone in USA I can call that can walk me through it. (free long distance here) and Canada.

Otherwise, how can I get the wifi and Bluetooth working.  That is a must for me.


Please advise,

Humble Regards,

just got machine yesterday!! excited to move forward.

Instead of using the USB-TTL adapter with the CH340G chipset like in the official shop, I'm using one with CP2102.
I'm trying to install OpenBSD on my SBC through serial, and I'm seeing text through the console just fine.
I just can't type anything.

So, again - receiving data is fine, transmitting data to the board is a no-go.
Using "sudo minicom -8 -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200" as per the BSD install tutorial in the other thread.
Yes, I DID use the baud rate of 1500000 while setting up the microsd to boot the install the first time. That required no input, so I didn't notice the problem.
Testing it now, baud rate doesn't matter - I can't input anything through serial into the running board regardless.

So, I'm ordering the CH340G USB-TTL to see if this is a compatibility problem and I already have a second Rock64 on the way. I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas to perhaps make this work as is.
Also, I'll post any relevant updates.

Thank you for your time.

Guys, I do not have usb adapter for eMMC used on ROCK64. Is there any plugin or software to install on linux, like migrate OS to SSD for Windows, so I can use it to format/copy onboard eMMC and migrate linux to it from microSD?

thanks

Are all the USB ports on the rock64 on separate bus. I dont have a rock64, else I could check using lsusb on linux.

I need to connect camera and a sensor on two different USB ports. If they are on the same bus it results to decreased or dropped frames from the camera.

If anyone operating linux on rock64 can give me the output of lsusb command, it would be helpful.

Can almost guarantee this has been discussed and answered, but my searching ability eludes me.

Is there a way to clone the whole SD Card installation onto the eMMC? I would like to install KDE Neon onto my onboard eMMC, but I can't seem to find a version for eMMC installation. A direct clone would be awesome, but I'm happy if there's maybe an imgflash approach.

I can completely understand the issues with the keyboard. But, with a heavy hand or a slight modification it becomes a non-issue.

But does anyone else find the trackpad completely erratic?

Example, I'll try and move the cursor a couple of pixels diagonally. A precise finger movement causes the mouse to do a Torvil-and-Dean-level flick and twist, and end up further away than before.

Other times, I feel like I've suddenly turned into Edward Cullen as the trackpad flat out refuses to react to my touch, especially if you have sweaty hands. I try to use heavier movements, but I end up accidentally dragging my desktop icons into the recycling bin, or the application launcher.

Does anyone else find the trackpad absolutely unusable? I understand that there's no specific driver so it uses a generic PS2 input driver, but daaammmnnn there must be something better?! Currently using either a USB mouse or KDE Connect wireless input mode.

How to install and boot ROCK64 from eMMC? - https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=4713
    shows
boot priority:
eMMC--> SPI flash-->  SD card

But, with both eMMC and microSD installed, I am seeing my Rock64 boot to microSD. How can this be?

1. Has the priority of the devices changed generally for the Rock64, or is it just my unit?
2. Does one of the devices boot directly, i.e. not use/require the SPI flash?
3. I found the following.
    Flashing and Erasing the SPI - https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...ash-spi.md
Traditionally, booting Linux on the ROCK64 required an eMMC or microSD card, however it is now possible to boot without those, assuming the SPI memory has been flashed. The ROCK64 contains an onboard 128Mbit SPI flash memory, which can be flashed with U-Boot in order to provide additional boot options:
    USB2 / USB3 drive
    PXE
    microSD
    eMMC
Boot order:

1. SPI flash
   
2. eMMC (disable with jumper)
   
3. microSD
   
4. USB drive
   
5. PXE
