Hi

My Rockpro64 is in transit!, will not be long now, unless it languishes in UK customs.

Looking at this forum and the Wiki, I cannot find anything on a Linux system.

As  it is a new system, I suppose that we will have to compile our own kernel.   I have had a look at the Rockchip git pages.  There is a LOT of info there, it will be a severe learning curve to  read, understand and pick out the apposite  parts!

It would be very nice if Pine could add a quick tutorial on what is the best build environment, Rockchip have a good page:-

http://rockchip.wikidot.com/linux-user-guide

Is this the way to go? or is there a better document.

I am extremely rusty on kernel config and compilation, the last time I did it in anger was  years ago on Slack version 0.98  on a dozen 3.5inch floppies !!

as I say, a steep relearning curve.

regards

Patrick

Hello everyone, I am just relaying that 0.6.37 0.6.40 0.6.41 0.6.44 images from ayufan have been labeled 'release' and are hence the new stable go-to Linux OS image for the Rock64.

Bom Dia. Eu sou novo para isso e gostaria de ajuda, passei Xenial Mate (eMMC) diretamente para o meu Emmc com Etcher e usando o adaptador USB, ele ligou e pediu uma atualização de firmware do MicroSd para Emmc. Isso não terminou há 12 horas, algo está errado?

Hi All,

I had rock64 for over 6 moths now, and thanks to the LibreELEC image I was able to achieve the desired use case:

1. Kodi as the media player
   
2. Samba/NAS
   
3. Docker (via the Kodi plugin) to run multiple dockerized services (openHAB, mosquitto, syncthing, deluge). 
   

hi all,

after some keys lost working and finally a died space bar too, i am looking for a solution. the pinebook 11" bottom is not available, so i am thinking about using an alternative keyboard.

so my question is: does anyone know that keyboard connector? are there directly alternative keyboards, even if i have to build a new housing from scratch?

or do i have to replace all the stuff into another device and put on a usb keyboard?

(btw i found a guy who converted a thinkpad keyboard into an usb one...)

any thoughts?
