I have a really strange problem. 
I got the 4gb version with the 16G emmc module and the flasher from the store and am using etcher. 

Every time I flash an image and plug it into the rock64 to boot, it sometimes doesn't boot at all, sometimes I get some screen output and sometimes it just works. 
But even when it works the rock64 will hang after a few hours to a few days. When I then restart it I'm presented with some console out again but it hangs before it gets into the OS. 

Here is a picture of the how the hanging console output looks after the last "corruption". 




Any idea if this might be a problem with the emmc module or the rock64 itself?
(btw should I remove the 16G sticker from the emmc module?)

I have searched all over the internet to find a way to turn a Rock64 into a firewall for my home network. I'm not having much luck.
Does anyone know if this is possible? I came across this https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5248&page=2 and followed all the directions. Installed and running the OS but but I can not get the second NIC "USB3 to Ethernet" to connect.
I was hoping to run pfsense and some sort of web filtering. Any ideas?

Hi,

I was wondering if any of you Penguins got JupyterLab to work on the Rock64 ? That'd be way cool if that works !

Hi There,

I am using the Debian stretch based image for the Rock64 and have run into a few problems.

1. I have a HD monitor but it is 1080i  instead of 1080p, things are not displaying correctly on my Rock64. Is xrandr the thing I need to use to get the monitor settings corrected in Debian Stretch ?   I had some trouble with my raspi3 with this same monitor but was able to set the config file correctly but don't know how to do this using Debian stretch with the Rock64.

2. I hooked up a USB keyboard and mouse to the Rock64, the Rock64 will boot up but will not recognize any keyboard input, the mouse is fine. The thing is, this same keyboard works fine in all my other systems, a hackintosh, a Linux based system with Arcolinux on it, and my Raspi3 with Ubuntu Mate. So, I am confused as to why it doesn't work on the Rock64.

I am pretty sure I can get this going but I need someone with more experience than I have with Linux to give some feedback on what to do. Probably simple changes I need to make somewhere but I don't see how to do this yet.

Thanks

Hi, 

I have rock64 running ayufan armhf / jessie / OMV3 - so 0.5.15-136. Its working well so I'm not planning to move to 0.6.41 yet.

If I do an apt-get update, i see a number of ayufan 0.6.41 arm64 packages listed. I haven't updated these packages as I think I need stretch. 

Is it safe to run these updates given my system is armhf 32?

Thanks

jata

Hi all,

The ayufan 0.6.41 build stretch/armhf/omv4 has recently been released as stable so I have done a clean/fresh install of this onto a spare SD card to test. Install is fine and OMV is up and running. Looking at the logs, the only thing that does not look right is that the watchdog daemon does not start.

extract from my log below. Any ideas what this could be and how to troubleshoot?

many thanks!

Greetings all:

Hardware: Rock64 w/4GB RAM + 16GB MicroSD Card
OS: Dietpi

Issue:
When I use the recommended forked version of Etcher (running on Win 10) to flash Dietpi, I get NO video output. I even flashed it again but no video output

However, when I use Etcher (running on Arch), I get the normal Dietpi boot-up.

Why????

What is the forked version of Etcher doing (differently)?

Thanks,
Mike

Has anyone had any luck booting the archlinux-minimal-sopine-20170708-1.img?

I've dd'ed the image to an SD card and whenever my board boots the green "activity" (?) light blinks and the network comes up but the board doesn't seem to be getting an IP address.  I've changed the port speed to 100Mbs and that doesn't help.

I know the image is old, but I'm putting together a headless home automation controller and I'm not really interested in the XFCE build of this image.
