Hello,

I am trying to use the "Android 7.1.2 Stock Image using DD method [eMMC Boot] [20180518]" image to write to my 64GB eMMC module.

I have the USB adapter for eMMC and used the Pine64 installer to write the image to the eMMC module.

The image wrote and was verified successfully by the Pine64 installer.

When I put the eMMC module onto the board and boot, the light comes on, but nothing else happens. I left it for 15 minutes then switched it off and retried downloading and writing the image again. - this did not work either.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

I have my ROCK64 booted with the Debian Stretch Mate OS, and Im trying to figure out how to enable the USB wifi adapter delivered with my board.

I see the USB adapter listed in the USB devices, but wlan0 is not present in ifconfig.

Do I need to download and compile a driver, or is it just a matter of editing a config file somewhere?  When wlan0 is up and running what file contains the SSID and PSK from my network?

Thanks.

Hi

I have a Rock64 board 4GB version and just cannot get a reliable ethernet connection.

I have flashed the SPI and I am booting from a USB 3.0 HDD (1TB) connected to a powered USB 3 hub.  

The same problem occurs with ayufan linux, Armbian, Nextcloudpi and DietPi; with DietPi being the most stable to date.

While I can get to the login screen and login when connected directly to a keyboard and HDMI, when I connect an ethernet cable or SSH into the machine the whole system slows and becomes unresponsive.

The ethernet lights flash intermittently and often go blank for 20-30 seconds at a time.

I have tried limiting the ethernet connection to 100MB, cutting the blue and brown cables, two different routers and the problem is always the same.

As I intend to use this as a Nextcloud server obviously reliable ethernet is key.  Is this a common problem and how can I fix it before returning the board.

I just sudo apt upgrade Armbian 64 distribution and rebooted the Rock64. The ntp server time is now showing 6 minutes slow. Tried all the obvious with systemd timesyncd but nothing has changed. It's set to the correct ntp server.

Is there anything obvious I'm missing here.

Hello all,

I'm thinking of buying the 99$ Texas Instruments DLP projector for the BeagleBone.
It can be wired up to a raspberry pi as well.

I very much want to know if this can be configured on an Ayufan Ubuntu Bionic image.

These are the instructions to make it work with a Raspberry Pi:

(Also a video tutorial from the same guy):




I guess I should start off by asking what are the main differences when using the GPIO on a Rock64 vs a Raspberry.
Also, where do I find the R64 equivalent of /boot/config.txt and /etc/rc.local from the raspbian OS?
The tutorial says one must modify both of these files on a raspberry. That, and enable I2C.

I'm a noob with SBCs, so all help is welcome.
Thank you for your time.

I have a really strange problem. 
I got the 4gb version with the 16G emmc module and the flasher from the store and am using etcher. 

Every time I flash an image and plug it into the rock64 to boot, it sometimes doesn't boot at all, sometimes I get some screen output and sometimes it just works. 
But even when it works the rock64 will hang after a few hours to a few days. When I then restart it I'm presented with some console out again but it hangs before it gets into the OS. 

Here is a picture of the how the hanging console output looks after the last "corruption". 




Any idea if this might be a problem with the emmc module or the rock64 itself?
(btw should I remove the 16G sticker from the emmc module?)

I have searched all over the internet to find a way to turn a Rock64 into a firewall for my home network. I'm not having much luck.
Does anyone know if this is possible? I came across this https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5248&page=2 and followed all the directions. Installed and running the OS but but I can not get the second NIC "USB3 to Ethernet" to connect.
I was hoping to run pfsense and some sort of web filtering. Any ideas?

Hi,

I was wondering if any of you Penguins got JupyterLab to work on the Rock64 ? That'd be way cool if that works !

Hi There,

I am using the Debian stretch based image for the Rock64 and have run into a few problems.

1. I have a HD monitor but it is 1080i  instead of 1080p, things are not displaying correctly on my Rock64. Is xrandr the thing I need to use to get the monitor settings corrected in Debian Stretch ?   I had some trouble with my raspi3 with this same monitor but was able to set the config file correctly but don't know how to do this using Debian stretch with the Rock64.

2. I hooked up a USB keyboard and mouse to the Rock64, the Rock64 will boot up but will not recognize any keyboard input, the mouse is fine. The thing is, this same keyboard works fine in all my other systems, a hackintosh, a Linux based system with Arcolinux on it, and my Raspi3 with Ubuntu Mate. So, I am confused as to why it doesn't work on the Rock64.

I am pretty sure I can get this going but I need someone with more experience than I have with Linux to give some feedback on what to do. Probably simple changes I need to make somewhere but I don't see how to do this yet.

Thanks

Hi, 

I have rock64 running ayufan armhf / jessie / OMV3 - so 0.5.15-136. Its working well so I'm not planning to move to 0.6.41 yet.

If I do an apt-get update, i see a number of ayufan 0.6.41 arm64 packages listed. I haven't updated these packages as I think I need stretch. 

Is it safe to run these updates given my system is armhf 32?

Thanks
