Reading the release:

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

Hi all,

I'd like to periodically create backup images of Debian (stretch-minimal-rockpro64-0.7.9-1067) because I end up breaking my system a lot (I am a brand new to Linux). How would I go about doing this? Could I take an image of my microSD while it's connected to my macbook pro, or do I have to do this from the Debian command line?

-D

I am just starting with my rockpro64 and I have an lxde ubuntu on an emmc 64G
My unit is the 4gB version. I bought the wif bt mimo module but have had no success setting it up on my home network
Please offer some direction. The wlan is not showing up in ip a, after initial boot.

An Android 8.1 release is now available for the RockPro64.
Two image versions are available - on for dd and one for rkflashtools

Hi all,

I'm very new to using Linux so please bear with me. I have stretch-minimal-rockpro64-0.7.9-1067 installed on my rockpro64. Sometimes when I uninstall packages (for example, pivpn) I am asked to reboot my system. But when I reboot and try to ssh back in, I am unable to ("Operation timed out"). I assume the system has not rebooted and I have to manually press the reset switch. However, this would be inconvenient if I wanted to access my rockpro64 from another location and did not have physical access to the box. Could anyone recommend a solution?

Thanks,

-D

My attempts (five steps) and my question follow.


1.    With the store's USB adapter, I have flashed eMMC 16GB using Etcher on a Windows 7 laptop with the image in the second link that follows.
https://etcher.io/
https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...m64.img.xz

2.    I have put the eMMC in my Rock64.

3.    I have wired and connected the store's USB-to-serial adapter and my Rock64.
    On USB-to-serial adapter (pins at right):
Jumper is south (facing me) and set on east pair of pins, S1 and 3V3.
GND: black (goes to GND on Rock64's PI-2 bus)
RTX: brown (goes to TXD on Rock64's PI-2 bus)
TXD: white (goes to RTX on Rock64's PI-2 bus)
3V3: red (most northward cable) - NOT CONNECTED to Rock64
    On Rock64, PI-2 bus (long set of pins) is most northward; HDMI is south; GigE/USB is east.
    Bottom (southern) pins are numbered odd starting at 1 (going to 39); top (northern) pins are numbered even starting at 2 (going to 40). See,
    bottom (southern) pin (this is the leftmost one):
1  3.3V PWR - DO NOT use. See Serial Console for the Rock64 - https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=4928 - NO EXPLANATION given for why!
    top (northern) pins:
6  GND: black (goes to GND on USB adapter)
8  TXD: brown (goes to RTX on USB adapter)
10 RTX: white (goes to TXD on USB adapter)
    Executive Summary:
USB    Rock64
GND <---> GND
Rx <---> Tx
Tx <---> Rx

4.    I have tried putty on Windows 7 (to no avail), and then minicom on Debian, and now Raspian.
    Upon plugging in USB-to-serial adapter on Debian, I saw/see a red led (and iirc, a light blue led next to it, at  least on Debian)
# dmesg | tail -n 10
    gave
# usb 6-1: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0
    I issued
# minicom -s -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 1500000
    which returned (for both Debian and now Raspian)
Welcome to minicom 2.7

OPTIONS: I18n
Compiled on May  7 2017, 05:18:49.
Port /dev/ttyUSB0, 14:19:34

5. I plugged in power which lit an additional led on the Rock64. I see no change at my console (minicom).

ADDENUM: blue led is lit @RPi too; HDMI connected but monitor shows nothing.

QUESTION: What did I omit/do wrong, or what should I be doing next (or should have done before)?

Dear Manager,

I am new to Android Source code.

I have to customize Android 6.0: remove all the apks/apps and Add my own apk/app.

Please guide me the steps, how can I do it. where to make changes in source code or make files.

Regards,

Tanveer

I saw this thread:
https://core-electronics.com.au/tutorial...ry-pi.html

sudo apt-get install stress
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ssvb/c...burn-a53.S
gcc -o cpuburn-a53 cpuburn-a53.S

For Raspberry PI 3,  there are 4 A53 cores only.  for RockPro64.   How to test the other A72 cores? 

Can I use cpuburn-a53 to test A72 cores?

Which port is the OTG port?

Many thanks

On my first board here and been trying to do some creative googling and getting no where.....After first install on both the Deb image and Ubuntu images(64 bit) I get several mmcblk1 errors as follows....card should be fine, works perfectly in Pi2b/3b
