Hello i am newbie , and I want install tvheadend server On my rock64 with debían
How can I do? Any tutorial?

Heads up,
I am doing a major overhaul of the OS Images section on the wiki today and tomorrow, so in all likelyhood I'll break links and other things in the process...
Thanks in advance for your understanding...

I have updated the wiki today. Please let me know if something is broken or doesn't work.

I got my Rockpro64....NICE BOARD.....
I loaded stretch-minimal-rockpro64-0.7.8-1061-arm64.img.xz and it does not detect eth0?
Am i missing something?
Work around? 

Thanx

I may be overlooking something very simple. Here is what I have observed so far. I am referencing the image file from ayufan, 0.7.8 LDXE RockPro. I have went all the way down from dev releases to the 0.6.X stable releases, but I have the same results. It's actually worse on older builds, which I expected.

I have two separate units, with two separate RockPro bt+wifi modules that integrate in to the board. I have ran several commands to try to see the issue, but with no success.

The lsusb output does not show the adapter, which is expected since it doesn't use USB.

The "lshw -C network" shows that the adapter is wlan0.

The "rfkill list" shows that the adapter is there, and wireless isn't blocked. However, it shows that Bluetooth is soft blocked so I issued the unblock all command. This fixed the software block, but the wireless still wouldn't work.

iwconfig isnt even available. The "ifconfig wlan0 up" command returns "The operation is not permitted".

To validate that it isn't hardware related, I loaded the other Android builds and they work great with wireless. But those builds are extremely limited functionally and visibly without the tablet.

Sorry if this is a solid noob question, so feel free to cut jokes, lmao. I just tried about everything I could think of. wicd wasn't even an option, but that's likely due to the build not recognizing the adapter fully. 

Any help is appreciated!! Thanks all, especially to ayufan for everything! You are a kind soul, and I'll buy you a beer anytime. ;-)

Hello everyone,
ayufan marked 0.7.8 as the new Linux release for Rock64.
As always you can upgrade to newest release:

Hello everyone,

ayufan marked 0.7.8 as the new Linux release for RockPro64.
It contains many improvements and enables many features that were missing in 0.6.44, so I strongly suggest everyone either upgrade (as per ayufan's instructions):

Hi all

After putting it off for months then waiting weeks for it to arrive from the US (I live in England) my rock64 arrived today!

One of the biggest draws for me of the rock64 over the RPi3 etc is the ability to decode and play UHD and 4K h264 in hardware. I've already verified this works with my UHD h264 videos under LibreELEC but I found LibreELEC to be very unstable and I really want to use 'desktop linux' with mpv as it is a superior video player. The only 'proper' Linux distro I have tried so far on my r64 has been bionic-lxde-rock64-0.6.44 but when I try playing my h264 files (that play fine under LibreELEC) using rkmpv I get lots of horizontal green lines and a very poor, jerky frame rate.

So, which version of which distro has the best HW accelerated video playback under mpv? Does HW video decoding (and OGLES 2 3D accel) work under armbian xenial? How about arch?

I found this guide useful, if incomplete:

Hi all,

I got a Rock64 and I want to run Twonky Server on it.
Currently I am using Openmediavault, but I am not limited to it - any available Linux is okay.
However from the Twonky downloads page I tried several, but could not succeed in running anyone.
I tried those around Linux Arm LE and Armv8.
I wonder if anyone succeeded or can advise which one could run under which environment...
TIA.
