hi all,

we need to build a ubuntu core for ROCK64(rk3328) board. From where we need to start and which are the sources we need to follow ?
we also need to apply ARM trusted firmware into it so please provide information about it too.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm using the bionic-lxde-rock64-0.6.41-227-arm64.img.xz image with a Rock64. I tried compiling a test program with the included SDL2 library in /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu.

I got this error:

I purchased 2 Pine64 boards thru crowdfunding hoping it will be a great board and good alternative to Raspberry, but still i am struggling to get a fully functional OS for these boards and mostly other people also stopped developing and supporting these boards. from past 3 years these boards are lying and eating dust. I tried stable release of Android, Ubuntu etc. but non of them are useful neither for work nor at entertainment.

Pine64 has not fulfilled what it promised while launch.

The Pi-2 connector of Pine64 has Pin 2 & 4 labeled as "5V", and Pin 6, 9, 14, 20 as "GND".
The Euler bus connector has Pin 2 & 4 as "DC IN", and Pin 6, 9, 14, 20 as "GND".

So, questions:
1. Can I supply regulated 5V DC to power the whole board via Pin 2/4 of Pi-2 or Euler bus connectors? 
2. Do these pins have the same 2A current rating as the micro USB power jack?

Hi guys,

i have Rock64 4gb version and i can't boot new stretch 0.6.41 image (OMV). When i put SD card with flashed image (tried etcher and pine64 installer too ...), there are cycling errors like:

- Buffer I/O error on dev mmcblk1, logical block 0, async page read
- mmc1: tried to reset card
- mmcblk1: error -84 transfering data, sector ....... cmd response 0x900, card status 0x0

and more.

Around after minute device restart, and looping with errors again. I have three 16gb class 10 cards (all the same), but the same result with each. I don't think that it is a problem with cards, because I'm able to boot Jessie OMV image 0.5.15 without problems on any card. When i try to upgrade from 0.5.15, i end up like with flashed 0.6.41 image. I have read a few posts with similar problems, mostly on 4gb boards.


Someone here with 4gb board running new images? Please help and sorry for my english. TY.

The latest upgrade push kernel 4.4.126 and crash Rock64 when reboot.

By using serial cable, there is a short moment that user can select to boot from the previous kernel (the lovely stable 4.4.77).  So, be claim, everything is still there, I believe.

Unfortunately, seems that there is no hope for pure ssh remote control boxes.

Anyway, any elite kind enough to post a know-how on how to change the default boot order specifically for Rock64 on this forum.

Thank you


p.s.  if possible, also a know-how to prevent the kernel from being updated automatically.

Here you will find an initial Linux release for the RockPro64 from ayufan.

Same OS Images as on the Rock64 including:

* Minimal
* LXDE Desktop
* OMV (32 and 64bit)
* Contrainers (Kubernates & Docker CE)

Its a first pre-release so expect things not to work or not work as expected. As always, offer feedback here an on ayufan's git.

I have a 2gb pineA64+.  I used this image https://www.armbian.com/pine64/ and got a barebones termina.

Installed xorg and mate-desktop-environment through apt-get.  Now I am having a hardtime getting it to stick at booting.

I did add a line exec startx in ~/.profile. But it boots the pine64 and asks for credentials in terminal and only gets to the gui after credentials are entered.  I also couldnt fine /etc/default/grub toset it up there.

What am I missing here??

Is there any version of linux that has the following modules? 

module       : aesni_intel
module       : aes_x86_64

I am not sure uBoot will support NVMe SSD to boot off from PCIE x4 .

Anyone can test and tell me?

Really appreciated.
