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

Hello!
I am the proud owner of a new ROCK64
I have already tried Android and would like to install a "normal" system on the ROCK.

Currently there is only Xenial Mate for the eMMC chip.
This is currently running, but not really stable / good.
It hangs when you update. So I had to reinstall the system 4 times.
Is there an easy way to get e.g. Debian on the eMMC chip?
So far I only found a manual with a console cable, but I don't own one.

Hope there will be a good possibility to install e.g. Linux Mint soon. To be honest, I also like the Cinnamon surface more than mate.

Hello

I want to order some goods from pine64 website. But, when I was going to proceed to checkout page, the page told me that:
"There are no shipping methods available. Please double check your address, or contact us if you need any help."

Can I proceed to checkout? Iran is listed in the List of Countries and Shipping Services.

Thanks.

If you're using Linux on your PC then flashing Android images to the Rock64 (other than the RAW dd images) is a bit tricky.
I came across a utility for Linux that makes the process nice and easy, allowing you to flash 'update' images directly to eMMC.

The software is called upgrade_tool and can be downloaded from here
You can read about it and its different functions here

In short, after downloading and extracting the contents of the archive, navigate in terminal to the extracted utility and flash the update.img using the following command:

My new Rock64 board has arrived. Is recommendable to buy the case or to make one?

Thanks

Does anyone know how to get meteor to work on

Hi,

I was lucky enough to be able to purchase one of the initial release of the rockpro64 boards.  

I am very  disappointed that there has been no emailed confirmation of my order yet, or any delivery schedule.   I have only received a PayPal confirmation.

I notice that there is no info yet available on this website regarding the boards, (apart from the initial publicity).

Will you be adding these info on these boards and the S/W  to the wiki before the board arrives,  or have we got to work it all out for ourselves?


regards

Patrick

Hi all,

Looking at http://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Bo....2FTF_Card I can see that the BootROM will load into memory data from 0x40 on the SD card and then hand control to that second stage boot loader. It appears that BootROM will load the first 3960 bytes (0x40 to 0x4000) for stage 2, is this correct? Can anyone point me to source code for or a binary of idbspl.img or idbloader.img so I can examine a typical stage 2?

I am interested in developing my own OS from scratch, so I would like to write my own stage 2 bootloader and proceed from there.

Thanks for all your help.

Hello
is it possible to get the schematics and the pcb layout of SOPINE Baseboard “Model A”.
Why I need it? I want to create a custom form factor pcb, to fit it in to my project.
