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.

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.

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?

Many thanks,
luke

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?
  

Hey everyone. 
I am planning on building a (edited "table PC" using the Rock64 (don't have it yet). I have an old monitor from my old laptop for which I bought a controller board and would like to use it somehow. But I would also like to add a touch layer to the LCD. More precisely this resistive touch layer. 

However, I have no idea, if or how is that supported on Rock64, so if anyone can give me an advice if it will even work, or how to make it work, I would greatly appreciate it. 
Thanks, everyone.

I recently received my ROCK64 and installed various flavours of Linux on it. One thing I cannot seem to figure out is how to change the MAC address of ETH0.

On Armbian Bionic I tried putting it in /boot/armbianEnv.txt as etheraddr= or mac_addr=, I tried putting it in /etc/network/interfaces - all to no avail.
On Ayufan I was entirely unable to find anything to configure in this regard.

I read that a bunch of people complained about having ever changing MAC addresses on their board. I have not experienced that problem, but I want to set a specific MAC address - not fix the standard one.

Is there any way to do this? I could also recompile (part of) the DTBs if that is what it takes. I just need to know where I can find this setting (if at all). I can also install a new operating system.

I did find this; http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Set_Mac..._on_ROCK64 - which suggests it is possible on Android. I really do need a normal Linux though...

Anyone know how to do this?

Hi,

If you are unable to hear HDMI audio with your rockpro64 and the latest Linux release, you need to follow the instructions on setting PulseAudio default audio output
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pul...put_source

Once you set the default to the HDMI, your audio will be routed to your HDMI monitor / TV

BTW - this also fixed the double playing speed on YouTube. Playing is at normal speed

Good luck

If anyone is looking for a project, the RTL-SDR is pretty fun with the pine (2gb ram helps).
I created a plane tracker map, that allows to see the location, altitude and speed of planes in the region.
(update: fixed bug on my website that made two minus "--" to a long line)

Hi,
I'd like to fully deactivate the console output on ttyS2 as I'd like to use it. How is it possible to do it?
I'm quite new on Linux boards, I4ve try to search for that, understand that there are things to do with the u-boot or equivalent but really didn't find a simple how to to make it possible.
I'm using a Debian version on the RockPro64. The one recommended.
Thanks a lot

hi, please explain what is stby red light?
