  PINEBOOK RAM not upgradable
Posted by: jameling - 09-11-2018, 03:31 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (9)

I was registered one month ago and now I get a Coupon Code.
When finally I prepearing accomplish purchase order, I re-checked Specifications and found:

RAM: 2 GB LPDDR3 RAM Memory
Flash: 16 GB eMMC 5.0 (upgradable up to 64GB)

I am glad the Flash upgradable, but I dont't understand why RAM seems not upgradable? ROCK64 SINGLE BOARD COMPUTER has 4GB RAM, but the Pinebook has only 2GB, is it really enough?


  Newbie, No GUI interface for Debian Stretch Min 64 (bld 0.7.9)
Posted by: Pajaro - 09-10-2018, 07:12 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (1)

Aloha,

Installed Debian Stretch Minimal 64bit OS Image (mSD, bld 0.7.9).  After signing on using CLI (rock64/rock64), I only can enter CLI/Linux commands.  Why is there no GUI???  Angry   Is this normal?  Do I have to install GUI packages.  I am not sure what my next step is!   Any help via links, Linux commands, etc would be grateful... Shy

Warm Aloha,
Pajaro


  Help needed so a complete NOOB can compile a kernel, please
Posted by: dukla2000 - 09-10-2018, 05:21 PM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - Replies (5)

OK, so spurred into action by Deathcrow here, I decided the time had come for me to have another bash at compiling a kernel. "It's pretty easy. " - Ha Wink

1) git clone https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-m...kernel.git - no problems. (Will need to update at some stage but that can wait!)

2) Needed to install pkg-config, libncurses-dev, bison, flex and fakeroot as well

3) make menuconfig - could presumably spend months here but for a first run went with the defaults. Presume .config turns into /boot/config... in due course so can peruse ayufan versions and load/mod them when I get smarter.

4) make -j6 bindeb-pkg was going really well until

Code:
...   CC      arch/arm64/kernel/asm-offsets.s   HOSTCC  scripts/kallsyms   HOSTCC  scripts/conmakehash   HOSTCC  scripts/recordmcount   HOSTCC  scripts/sortextable   HOSTLD  scripts/dtc/dtc   HOSTCC  scripts/asn1_compiler   UPD     include/generated/asm-offsets.h   CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh   HOSTCC  scripts/extract-cert <stdin>:1335:2: warning: #warning syscall rseq not implemented [-Wcpp] scripts/extract-cert.c:21:10: fatal error: openssl/bio.h: No such file or directory  #include <openssl/bio.h>           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. scripts/Makefile.host:90: recipe for target 'scripts/extract-cert' failed make[4]: *** [scripts/extract-cert] Error 1 make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....   LDS     arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso.lds   VDSOA   arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.o   VDSOA   arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/note.o   VDSOA   arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/sigreturn.o   VDSOL   arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg   VDSOSYM include/generated/vdso-offsets.h Makefile:1045: recipe for target 'scripts' failed make[3]: *** [scripts] Error 2 debian/rules:4: recipe for target 'build' failed make[2]: *** [build] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build subprocess returned exit status 2 scripts/package/Makefile:79: recipe for target 'bindeb-pkg' failed make[1]: *** [bindeb-pkg] Error 2 Makefile:1337: recipe for target 'bindeb-pkg' failed make: *** [bindeb-pkg] Error 2

Presumably I need to do something useful to hold openssl together but not sure what - help/suggestions welcome please!

Also I seem to be trying to build pretty much in the footsteps of Ayufan (dpkg-buildpackage: info: source package linux-4.18.0-rc8-76686-g45828c4db727) - cant find the right place to put my label so it is clear I created the resulting mess (and to distinguish my efforts eventually in extlinux.conf ?)

TIA

  Crypto wallets - rock64
Posted by: Vegeta - 09-10-2018, 01:49 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - No Replies

Hi guys,
I got a rock64 with the purpose of having a couple of wallets staking 24/7  (instead of keeping the laptop on all day).
Anyone tried this before? Is it straightforward?

  Simple questions from a non tech guy.
Posted by: minhdomanh - 09-09-2018, 09:34 PM - Forum: Community and Events - No Replies

Here is a copy of a message I sent to the creators/developers... I was thinking that some of these things could be answered for me here and then others like me would be able to benefit from it.


This project really really fascinates me, but I am not knowledgable about computers. I don't know enough about some of the terms your using to know the full extent of the boards abilities. The idea of expanding with more boards could be the kick computers needs to jump to the next level. What can I do with the computer? I don't know any OS except Windows, and I stumble through android on my tablet (still using a flip phone here), with dozens of Apps I have no idea what they are. Will I be able to use the computer, with the proper interfaces of course.


I guess what I am asking is how can I, a not so computery person use and benefit from the computer?

I really love the idea and modular design of it.

oh and if someone gets say 10 is there a housing option, or do you have ideas for that?


Thanks all for responses.


  TV is not detected unless powered on first
Posted by: excelsi0r - 09-09-2018, 06:20 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (5)

Hello!

I noticed a small problem with my rock64 and I can't get to fix it.
So basically I installed LibreELEC on my Rock64 and I noticed that if I don't turn on my tv/monitor within the first minute then there is no output signal.
I tried searching for the problem however I could not find specifics.
The only solutions I found were for the RPi, which did'nt work.

Is this a known issue? Has anobody else noticed this? Suggestions?

Thanks!


  Any benchmarks for non-pine64 pci to NVMe adapters?
Posted by: crhawle - 09-09-2018, 04:19 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

I have two things I would like to find benchmarks/information for. I apologize ahead of time if they are in another thread. I couldn't find them via google or the search function on this forum.

1. Does using a higher quality pci to NVMe adapter improve the performance? Ideally, the PCI lanes should each be able to contribute 400 MB/s for a total of 1.6 GB/s. The only benchmarks i've seen cap out at 540 MB/s write and 1.3 GB/s read. The SSD being tested in those is rated to be able to achieve much higher performance in both areas. I don't know if the difference is due to internal limitations of the processor or the PCI adapter itself. Hence my question.

2. I would also like to know if using a USB type C to ethernet adapter improves the network performance compared to using the built-in ethernet port.
