Hi all

Just received my RockPro64 and high power PSU from Pine64 shop. The PSU connection between the barrel connector on the PSU lead and the barrel connector on the RockPro64 board seems really intermittent on mine - with it proving very tricky to get the green power LED to stay on and boot to start. I have managed it a couple of times but it's really tricky.

Am I doing something obviously wrong?

Have raised a support ticket with Pine 64 - but thought I'd ask around here if there were any known issues?

Hello,
I'm looking for any information about running exagear x86 emulation on the Rock64.
I'm using ayufan's ubuntu 18.04 image and I'm wondering if I can run Homeworld on it.
So far I've tried Qemu and get 1fps on Windows 2000.
I'm wondering if anything better can be done, or if this is the end of the line for the idea.

Exagear states they support Pine64 as well as ODROID C2 (same chip as the R64), so maybe this can work?

I've tried contacting them in the website chat, but since its Sunday it'll obviously take a while.

Again, any info/experiences are welcome.

Hello All,

I wan to learn boot media order of A64 SOC on Pine64 LTS board.
I searched user manual and datasheet, but found nothing.
As of now I am booting firmware with SD card, but planning it to boot from SPI NOR flash.

Will A64 SOC try to boot from order e.g. SD -> EMMC ->  SPI?
if yes what offset address with SPI I have to flash firmware?

Hello.

I need to enable some addons in u-boot. Yesterday I resolved many problems/bugs/workarounds in simple enabling "usbkbd" in u-boot (with ayufan-rock64/linux-u-boot (rockchip-master)).

Actual (few) versions u-boot:
upstream
   - with independent rockchip development ?
   - missing support for Rock64
  -> fork rockchip-linux/u-boot
         - "release" branch - pulling randomly from upstream (actively developed) ?
         - missing support for Rock64
    -> fork ayufan-rock64/linux-u-boot
         - "rockchip-master" branch - last rebased/merged 12/2017 (actively developed)
         - "rebased-all-changes-on-release" branch - last rebased 04/2018 + summary commit 06/2018  
         - "mainline-master" branch - last rebased 06/2018 from upstream (not from rockchip-linux)

What is the best u-boot fork/branch for Rock64 ?
How many features/bugfixes are missing from u-boot upstream in rockchip-linux/u-boot fork and vice-versa ?
Is there any chance to that Rockchip joins u-boot upstream ?

For example differences in ehci-generic.c (used in Rock64):
upstream (+2/-1 patches) X rockchip-linux/u-boot (release) (+1/-2 patches)  X ayufan-rock64/linux-u-boot (rockchip-master) (-3 patches)

Hi
My pine is unable to boot after sharp power outages causing the pine to lose power.
When I tried to boot and view its output via HDMI, it is stuck.

Is there a way to scan / repair my SD card to save the OS image on it right now? It has configuration for packages on there which took me some time to get right in order to work as I need.

I am running the longsleep build if this information helps.

Hello. How are you? I have a question... Could I execute an excutable x86_64 file into the Debian 9 Stretch for Pine Rock64? I understand the Debian is aarch64 and when I try to execute my file (Xonotic server) in 32bits (I think this is x86_64) the terminal write me "Exec format error". I read the problem is the architecture for was compilated. In other platforms there are some solucions like install libc6:i386 but not work here. Coul you help me please? Many thanks guys!

P.D.: My native language is not English. I hope this text was good for read and understand xD.

Does anyone know if pineh64´s euler bus support battery?


I am afraid it wont support as I don`t see any LiPo Battery header and in the pineh64 euler schematic the batt pin appears to be blank.

But having a mini PCI, that could be used to connect a 3G/4G card, and a battery circuit, this could be an excelent IoT card.

Hi,
Is it possible to install another WiFi module on one of the two buses? the Pi-bus or the euler bus.

Hi,

I have bought several SOPINEs and SOPINE Boards as well as the SOPINE cluster board. I have installed the Ubuntu Mate on one SD card and copy it to others. It seems that that the SOPINE boards all have the same hardware Mac Address and this causes some other issues. Any thoughts on how should I deal with this? Thank you.

Best,
H.

Hello all,

I am planning to put together an Android device using a ROCKPro64 board. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the amount of interfaces available so I come here for counsel. I would like to use a 10" touchscreen, specifically the one offered on Amazon here. It uses HDMI but if anyone knows of a better solution please chime in! Honestly, I don't even know where to obtain a touch screen with some of the interfaces supported. in any case, I welcome all suggestions.

Thanks!
