Hi All,

I am leading two undergraduates on a summer research experience. My question follows this brief project description.

The goal of the project is educational not necessarily practical so after reading what comes next causes you to say to yourself: Why would you do that? The answer is to get down and dirty and learn.

We aim to modify Ubuntu to assert affinity only over certain cores and a portion of physical memory and during boot, load and launch a parallel real time OS. Certain hardware on the Pine64 will be stripped from Ubuntu and given over to the conjoined twin. Hardware related code such as interrupt handling will be modified to multiplex as needed. A thread safe intercommunications portal will exist allowing applications on Linux to exchange data with plugins running on the conjoined twin.

My first question is to confirm I'm downloading the right source code for this purpose (work starts in 3 weeks so I'm getting prepared).




Was this the right place? https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-kernel.git



Thank you all

Hello,

I'm trying to install the Xen hypervisor on rock64, starting with the info at Xen ARM with Virtualization.
Here are the steps I followed so far:

1. Installed a minimal debian stretch image on the rock64 mmc (thanks @ayufan !)
   
2. Built Xen on rock64 (for XEN_TARGET_ARCH=arm64)
   
3. Used mkimage to prep xen for uboot: mkimage -A arm -C none -T kernel -a 0x00800800 -e 0x00800800 -d dist/install/boot/xen xen-uImage
   
4. Modified //boot/efi/extlinux/extlinux.conf  to add a custom configuration that loads the xen kernel (xen-uImage) using the same dtb that came with the stretch image (see config code below)
   
5. Reboot with serial console attached, select my custom extlinux configuration
   
6. rock64 hangs (serial output stops) at "Starting kernel ..."
   

Hi,

Has anyone managed to get RISC OS running on the Pinebook?

Thanks,

If your company or personal not use your old hard disk , but the hard disk data include have your privacy data from hard disk e.g ( Your medical treatment information , ID CARD Number , VISA CARD , PASSWORD   ), this time you need to wipe your hard disk by the US LAW (HIPAA) .

This is very basic level to clear up your include privacy data.

I think most people know delete file is not really deleted , so this need to use Rrockpro64  help.
For the new generation HardDisk over 2TB , you need is time time time and more time and electricity  to wipe your hard disk.
.
Yes , you can say physical destroy is very fast , easy and safe , but physical destroy tool very expensive .


I reseach some have hardware they just to run software wipe your hard disk.

1. http://www.mejw.com.tw/  TP100-I around USD $456   ( Support  4TB )
2. http://www.killdisk.com/killdesk.htm USD $1999   ( Support more than 4TB in size )


Debian arm64 , armhf open source software have ( Scrub , Nwipe  ) can wipe your hard disk.
 
( Note: This two software without warranty and any certification  ( e.g HIPAA, ISO27001/27002) ,  no guarantee your data is completely sanitized across the entire drive , but the same have wipe algorithm .)

At least recovery software can't find it privacy data


1. Scrub  ( wipe algorithm )

https://github.com/chaos/scrub



2. Nwipe  (Based on Dban )

https://github.com/martijnvanbrummelen/nwipe




Other:  Open source Dban need your x86 , x86-64 pc around 300 w Power to wipe your harddisk , very waste your money  .

Rockpro64 you have 1 usb3.0 , 1 PCI-E support 2  SATA port

Hi all, I just received my Pine64 LTS in the mail today and loaded Diet Pi on an SD Card quickly to find out that it's not booting.

* Power is the provided barrel connector that I purchased
* SD Card is a San Disc 32 GB
* eMCC from plugged in, purchased at the same time as my Pine64
* USB Keyboard plugged in
* USB Mouse plugged in

I checked my DHCP Lease table and it doesn't look like it's powering up and getting an address.  I then took the SD Card out and put it in my Model B Pine64 and it boots right up without issue.

I also noticed that my USB Keyboard back light was on and the mouse was powered up too.

I then put the SD Card back into the LTS and removed parts one at a time in this order.

* eMCC
* Mouse
* Keyboard
* HDMI

And it is still not booting.

I've tried both Diet Pi and Xubuntu with the same results.  I'm starting to think my Pine64 was DOA.  Thoughts?

tyia,
Kris

I've had my Pine running Ubuntu for a while now.  Out of nowhere I noticed some programs not running correctly.  While the general system boots up fine and MOST things look OK.  I get this error on a few different programs:

Hi everybody!

My first rock64 headless server runs very ok. I installed a 4cm cooler fan and improved the temp in -12ºC approx. Is very silent. An additional external SATAIII to USB 3.0 disk is connected, works as a NAS in my LAN.

I installed Debian 9.4 Stretch minimal (ayufan) on the eMMC and configured it with:

• ufw & fail2ban
  
• nfs & samba 4.5.12
  
• pi-hole 3.3.1
  
• lighttpd 1.4,45 & certbot & letsencrypt
  
• icecast 2.4.2 & ezstream
  
• mariaDB 10.1.26 & phpmyadmin
  
• nextcloud 13.0.2
  
• transmission-daemon
  
• minidlna
  
• subsonic 6.1.3
  

I'm interested in what benchmarks changed with the move from LPDDR3 to LPDDR4.
To start with, specifically what is the output of

- the Android OS build will be posted on May 15.

Hi,

I want to run gitlab community edition for testing purpose , 
Looking at Requirements page I think it should work: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/requirements.html

however if anyone has any good point to through or have experience running gitlab on Rock64 please share !
