Hello,

I've noticed that in official store is it possible to buy: "ROCKPro64 PCI-e to Dual SATA-II Interface Card"
But I can't find any references how to connect that board. Even if will it work or not?

Does anybody has any info regarding this card?

Who's ready to order a ROCKPRO64 for the next June shipment?

• I've added an event to my calendar to check the news section for early June.
  

Hi, how can I enable i2c-0 on GPIO3 and GPIO5 of RPi header? I was trying latest armbian and Ayufans latest, but without any success - GPIO3 is permanently pulled down (booted from uSD)

... through web browser.

I have a web-based app, that plays videos to different clients.
This is where the Raspberry fails (1080p through Chromium is very choppy).
Is Rock64 a better solution/alternative to this ? Can i have 1080p in the web browser ?

Hello,

do you have any experience with any LTE accesory? I am going to start project for automatical upload of photos into cloud from an open-air places and wonder what is the best way accomplish that. Some USB solution would do but some solution connected directly to some bus would be the best.

Thank you and wish you a nice day.

Hi,

I spent now several hours trying to find out by googling and search in this forum how to set the kernel parameter "fsck.mode=force" on the Pine A64. I tried to understand the boot process from the sunxi documentation but to be honest, the boot process of the pine a64 is like rocket science to me with all this parts like u-boot, initrd, kernel, etc.

I finally tried setting it in uEnv.txt but when I look at /proc/cmdline it's not applied. The system I'm running is debian with version "stretch/sid" and kernel image is "3.10.105-0-pine64-longsleep"

Can anyone in simple words explain me how to do this. I cannot be that hard, but it seems it's very hard to find instructions for this seemingly simple task.

Thanks to anyone who could she a light on this.

PS: Why is it so complicated on the PineA64 when on Raspberry I can just modify cmdline.txt and I'm done?

I dare not do apt update/upgrade on my rock64-NAS, my family is using it.  So, I intend to build an update with AppArmor enabled on my spare rock64 and swap the sdcard after test.

Today, I follow exactly the same steps as what I had done successfully before.  But failed.

Sorry I am not a developer, I don't even have an active git a/c, I am happy to follow if you have a comprehensive instruction know-how on how to report error.  However, obviously, you don't have time to prepare that.  I can only report it here.

Running the first make -j5 (after make menuconfig) looks fine.  --edit-- sorry, it gets error too.
Then, there are lot of errors (missing files) during sudo make modules_install
Followings are copied from the end of sudo make install
I did it twice.  It should easily be reproduced.

Hi all!

I partook in the baseboard + 1 free SOPine offer a few months back but only just got around to having a play around with it.
I've attempted to get the module up and running with the xenial-minimal-sopine-bspkernel-0.7.19-118.img.xz image found here (https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-build/releases). I loaded it up on a 64GB SD card through Etcher, but nothing gets registered on the network. I tried enabling emcc_compat=on after a fresh etch.

Basically debugging is rather hard because there is very little information about the default behavior of the baseboard. I've linked a gif of what the board is doing. The (power?) LED's just blink in near enough unison and the orange LEDS (Net Activity?) blink together semi frequently. Nothing lights up on the SOPine board itself.

I'm powering the system up through the barrel jack connector with the PSU sold on the official site. I've confirmed with a voltmeter that the voltage levels are correct.

Can anyone point out what might be happening? And what steps I could take to further debug what might be going on?

Cheers~!

Hello,

i try to get Android running, with an SD card.

I Downloaded android-7.1-rock-64-rock64_atv-v0.3.13-r115-raw.img.gz
When im trying to Flash it with Etcher, its telling me "It looks like this is not a bootable image. The image does not appear to contain a partition table, and might not be recognized or bootable by your device" 
When i Flash it to my sd card and insert the card into the Rock, my Window keeps being black.

When im using the Pine64 Installer, and select "Community Android TV 7.1. (ROCK64 microSD) (should be the same as i dowonloaded..) same behaviour -> Window keeps being black.

So how the heck can i get Android running with an SD card ?

Thanks for helping and sry for bad english
