I have bought rock64 4GB board bundle (with charger and sd card).
I've initially pushed bionic lxde (0.6.4) with Etcher.
It launched smoothly, I've tried to open Youtube with Firefox - and this was first hang.
Restart
Again - this time youtoube page showed - it died after 3 sec of playing,
In few tries I was able to get, at best, something like 30 sec of playing (more like slideshow not real playing, even though CPU usage was not 100%).

Since then I've tried:
strech minimal
bionic minimal
armbian
openelec
with different (mostly latest versions)

I've tried new charger.
I've tried some other sd cards (inc. Samsung Evo).

The best results came with OpenElec being able to play up to 7 minutes of video before hang.

kernel.log shows nothing, syslog, dmesg , Xorg.. no errors, well, once I had error about fs issues (not clean after one of hard restarts) so now I know that nor bionic either strech are able to run gparted - instant hang also.

Does anyone had seen such issue?
What should else could I try to figure out reason?

I recently purchased a Rockpro64. Installed this Android Image. Android 7.1.2 Stock Image [microSD Boot] [20180515] found in the Wiki.
However, it is always on LandScape Mode. I have tried changing the HDMI Orientations, tried several Orientation apps. Always treating it as a landscape device. Could anyone shed light on this, please?

If you're looking for a clean/standard solution, this isn't it - just a fun presentation.

I threw this together mostly because the board was asking to have something dropped/spilled/shorted on it otherwise, and I wanted a somewhat durable/attractive way to show off it and whatever might be running on it. Found the case on Amazon and ended up having to Dremel out the center anchors for the lid, and I just epoxied the standoffs in place. Initially regretted using the Rustoleum spray paint I had around, but now I kind of like the effect with LEDs behind.

Plan is to use the spare Pi as a display head with the 7" LCD that's pretty terrible quality but actually fits inside over the Pi/module-free portion of the clusterboard.



This thing is a light show, I love it.

Dear All,

Item (4) of PINE A64-LTS 's main page <-- https://www.pine64.org/?page_id=46823
show that there is 802.11BGN + bluetooth 4.0 including in the board.
But someone told me, I need to buy a "802.11BGN/BLUETOOTH 4.0 MODULE" separately.

The price of PINE A64-LTS ($32) is included "802.11BGN/BLUETOOTH 4.0 MODULE" or not?

Thanks a lot!

Just got a text notification from USPS that my RockPro64 arrived in the mail today, so tonight I'll finally have the opportunity to build some images for that as well. Anyway, please enjoy and feel free to provide feedback! [emoji111]️

If you install a debian free software system cf free software foundation what devices on the computer will
not work?
Thanks.

Hi All, 

I'm quite new to pine and coding. Now I'm looking to make my pine A64 connected to my TV to play 4k video's by simply turning on the TV. (it's going to be at a display, where it has to be controlled by every noob). Can anyone help me out? Thnx!

Does this get free vpu software for the rock64?
Thank you.

Searching for videos where the computer runs as a desktop computer gives not much result.
In question are videos showing how the rock64 works if running debian or armbian. Benchmark
videos tell numbers I cannot relate to.

Any videos showing how rock64 performs if it does common computer tasks? Simultaneously running a
browser, 5 tabs open, a youtube video and a file manager and a media player and libre office or
a picture editor. What are the latencies? Does rock64 start to falter?
In short can a rock64 desktop run similar to a
modest x86 notebook?
Thanks.

Unlike the amd64 Ubuntu, here w(1), who(1) and uptime(1) don't count the user if logged through LXDE. (If logged torough SSH, they do.) To test, log in through LXDE, open LXterminal and type "w", "who", or "uptime". You won't be shown as a logged in user. (In the amd64 Ubuntu, you will be.) I think that this is a bug, but don't know whether it's a kernel bug or not.
