Hi team;

My first post;

I'm a .Net Core developer and recently did a test with Raspberry Pi 3, where I build a simple server side app in Windows and .Net core and uploaded it to the RPi3 and it ran great. What made it very seamless was Raspbian that worked closely with the board.

However, for my needs, I'm interested in RockPro64, because it has all those things I need that RPi3 is missing. My question is, is PINE64 creating a custom OS that is suited for RockPro64?

Thank you in advance!

I don't know a lot about Linux but when i run apt-get update on R64 on OMV i get this.

Hello together,

I need an adapter / cable for video output of my Rock64 board.

Is this pinning of the plug correct?

   

TIP = GND
first RING after the TIP = video / cvbs
second RING after the TIP = right channel
SLEEVE = left channel

Is that correct?

Many thanks.

Hi,

Today, Saturday morning, I cannot successfully download any images from the github ayufan directory.

Using LInux mint, Firefox with S3 download manager addon.

Download starts, runs for short time, then hangs.  I can resume it several times, maybe getting to 40-50% then down ceases and is CANCELLED by external event, not me!

This forces complete restart.  I have run through my IP's data allowance several times over trying to get one iso complete!

PLEASE COULD PINE PROVIDE AN ALTERNATE DOWNLOAD SITE THAT IS RELIABLE??

regards

Patrick

Hello all:
in first place, I want to say hello to all, I'm a new user of Rock64 and this forum.

I've received my new Rock64 yesterday, and I can't get to boot never... 
I've tried with a lot of images from the Pine64 installer and others burned with Etcher (ubuntu, xenial, diet, openmediavault, etc)
I've tried with two differents SD cards
I've tried with network and without it
I've tried with a usbserial connected to 6, 8 and 10 pin to monitor console output (no output received)

... and the result is always the same:

The green led is on
The red led is on
The white led is on
All permanently
And there is no output from HDMI


Someone can help me to understand what's wrong? Am I missing something?


Thanks in advance...

I also have these error when transfer files with lastest image; 4.4.126-rockchip-ayufan-239

[edit 04/07/2017] The ROCKPro64 case is now available in the store.

I am attaching pictures of prototype NAS / Desktop/ Server (or whatever you're making) case for the RockPro64. Just in case you're wondering, the production version will come with matching black screws making it look neat. Once I know the exact dimensions I'll edit this post.

As for availability of the case, it should be available sooner than you might think - probably around the time the second batch of boards ship later this month.

Its a hefty - as in actually quite heavy and really sturdy - metal case with ionized black finish. Its genuinely high quality.  It has an internal mount for 4 HDDs inside: 2x3.5" HDDs and 2x2.5 HDDs as well as a bracket for a 120mm fan. You will obviously need the PCIe SATA card sold in the Pine64 store to attach the drives. There will be a way to power those drives too - work is being on that right now (again, once I know more I'll update the thread).

There are cutouts for the USB 2.0 / 3.0 and C ports as well as GbE, HDMI, AUX jack, Power Jack, Power/ Reset buttons and PCIe cards. So, in theory you could add more storage of other high speed I/O stuff via USB 3.0 and C. In the back of the case, at the top, there are also 3 additional cutouts for BT and WiFi antennas.

As always, feedback and reactions are very welcome!

[03/06/2018 edit]: I am editing in a few renders of how the case will look populated with HDDs, the board itself and the fan:

[edit 03/07/2018] case dimensions:

Okay -- now that the RockPro64 has shipped a batch (or two), is it too early to start asking about the -AI variant that was announced in January?  My understanding is that the only difference is an alternative version of the RK3399 SoC, there are no board changes required.  Thus it ought to be a separate production run, but little else.  Originally August had been suggested as the date, however since the non-AI version slipped a little I would imagine the whole plan slipped too.  Is there a new schedule that can be shared?

Good morning all.

I have Debian installed on my A64, trimmed down to be headless.  It only offers SSH connections with only TTY & SSH access.

It works fine but gphoto2 throws an error when attempting to access my Canon EOS 350d.  

gphoto2 --auto-detect re4cognises it:

ken@floki:~$ gphoto2 --auto-detect
Model                          Port
----------------------------------------------------------
Canon EOS 350D                 usb:002,003

gphoto2 -L or gphoto2 -l returns an error:

*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library ('I/O problem'): No error description available
*** Error (-7: 'I/O problem') ***

I also specified a port using --port and tried --summary.  Received the same error.

Last year on a Debian build and AMD X64 machine it worked fine.  My Win 10 machine sees the camera just fine.  Does anyone have any guidance?

Thanks!

I have tried debian, OMV and OMV64 and something is working.  The latest builds of OMV get me a SIP error every time I press a key on the keyboard.  None of the three can get a stable LAN connection.  The current debian build gets an IP address but I cant get any farther, even with an external USB network adaptor.  it'a always throwing me "destination host unavailable."

Do I just have a bad board?
