  rock64-config ?
Posted by: vincent37 - 04-12-2018, 08:19 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (4)

Hello,

I do not have the skills to create this interface style yet very handy.

This could be useful... When do you think to personalize it and make it reliable for the rock64 with debian ?

You can test what exists for Asus Tinkerboard

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikerr...ker-config

sudo sh tinker-config


  I could not start ROCK 64.
Posted by: pine3228 - 04-12-2018, 07:08 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

Google Translate : 
axel -a -n 5 https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...m64.img.xz && xz - dv bionic - minimal - rock 64 - 0.6.31 - 209 - arm 64. img. xz && sudo dd if = bionic - minimal - rock 64 - 0.6.31 - 209 - arm 64. img of = / dev / sda

I tried starting up ROCK 64 using such a command, but unfortunately I could not start it. (White lamp, green lamp and red lamp are in a state of lighting) I suspected that the image file was damaged, but I will not change how many times. However, writing 0.5.15 xenial and artful images on the micro sd card, I was able to launch it. The same problem occurred in the images of bionic (arm64) of 0.6.25, 0.6.26, and 0.6.27. What should I do?

Also, I have another question.
https://dl.armbian.com/rock64/
Although it is an image of armbian distributed here, it was also impossible to start up here. Apparently, there seems to be no boot partition, but how do you start it?



原文
axel -a -n 5 https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...m64.img.xz && xz -dv bionic-minimal-rock64-0.6.31-209-arm64.img.xz && sudo dd if=bionic-minimal-rock64-0.6.31-209-arm64.img of=/dev/sda

私はこのようなコマンドを使い、ROCK64の起動を試しましたが、残念ながら起動することができませんでした。(白のランプと緑のランプと赤のランプが光りっぱなしの状態)私は、イメージファイルの破損を疑いましたが、何度やっても変わりません。しかし、マイクロsdカードに0.5.15のxenialとartfulのイメージを書き込んだところ、起動することができました。この問題は、0.6.25、0.6.26、0.6.27のbionic(arm64)のイメージでも同じことが起きました。どうすればいいのでしょうか?

それと、もう一つ質問があります。
https://dl.armbian.com/rock64/
こちらで配布されてるarmbianのイメージですが、こちらも起動することができませんでした。どうやら、bootパーティションなどが無いようなのですが、どのようにして起動するのですか?


  Clusterboard i2c and Linux
Posted by: jgullickson - 04-11-2018, 09:45 AM - Forum: Clusterboard - Replies (3)

Hello all,

I'm trying to connect an MCP23017 to the i2c bus on one of the Clusterboard's headers (J4) and I'm unable to see it from Linux using i2cdetect:

Code:
jjg@pine64so:~$ sudo i2cdetect -y 0
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f

jjg@pine64so:~$ sudo i2cdetect -y 1

50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --                    
    

I had the same problem interfacing this same chip to a full-size A64 board and resolved it by adding some pull-up resistors to the i2c pins (connecting them to the 3.3v supply as suggested in this thread: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=2079&page=2).  However the Clusterboard doesn't supply 3.3v at this header.

I'm not sure how best to proceed.  Assuming the pull-ups are required on the Clusterboard as they are on the A64, do I need to provide a 3.3v supply (perhaps stepping the 5v supply down to 3.3v) or is there a better way to achieve the same thing?

It seems weird to me that the header would supply the i2c pins if they couldn't work without external regulation but then again I'm pretty new to working with i2c and maybe this is normal?

Any pointers are appreciated, thanks!


  Help pls~Desktop (xfce4/lxde/gnome/i3) installation problem. Install_desktop.sh faild
Posted by: yours_david - 04-10-2018, 11:41 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

Hi Pine64 community, 

I have been very happy to have Rock64 running openmediavault to manager my 3 HDDs for share, 2 HDDs sitting on USB3 HDD dock for non-raid share, 1 HDD USB2 running cold backup. Now I would like to install desktop, e.g. xfce4/lxde/gnome/i3, on top of my OMV image. I run "install_desktop.sh" script from "/usr/local/sbin/" after searching through forum and internet. 

The installation progress get stuck while fetch plex, the error code is in below. The full details list at bottom for better reading.

Code:
E: Failed to fetch https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb/dists/./public/InRelease                     Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release file (Wron                   g sources.list entry or malformed file)
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used                    instead.


My firmware based on 0.6.31: jenkins-linux-build-rock-64-209, which was upgraded from 0.6.28: jenkins-linux-build-rock-64-197 by running "sudo apt-get update -y & sudo apt-get install linux-rock64 -y". 

As a linux noob, I tried what I can but still failed to install xfce4 then run KODI while running OMV at background. 
I checked install_desktop.sh trying to comment off fetch plex in order to continue such installation, but I can't find anything. 
I also run "apt-get install xfce4", but don't know how to run xfce4. 

Can anyone help me to run OMV+HTPC Kodi solution on my rock64 NAS build? Two questions.

Q1, how to fix install_desktop.sh?
Q2, without that .sh strip, how can I install xfce4 and kodi then run based on OMV rock64 firmware? Thank you for any advise.

Cheers, 
David

  Making a DVD Server (including burning) using Rock64
Posted by: Ron Piggott - 04-10-2018, 01:25 PM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (1)

Is someone able to provide a set of steps that would result in a DVD server?  I have a USB 3.0 DVD drive I'd like to share on my home network as it's own independent server.

- I use to burn a weekly backup
- I'd like to also use it on my home network so anyone could watch videos

  OpenAuto
Posted by: polybius - 04-08-2018, 07:15 PM - Forum: LCD and Touch Panel - No Replies

I have the Pine64 LCD touchscreen kit and was wondering if anybody would have the time to help configure it to work with OpenAuto. It looks like this would be a good use for the kit and I might finally get some use out of it. I tried to set everything up with the Armbian image but I couldn't get aasdk compiled properly because I didn't have the correct version of protobuf or something. Any help would be appreciated!


Sad Rock64 4GB poor USB3 HDD performance
Posted by: KernelPanic - 04-08-2018, 12:18 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (7)

I've received my Rock64 4GB a few weeks back but I'm having some trouble getting the external hard drive to perform as it should.

I really hope anyone here has some idea's on how to get performance up to spec because I'm about to pull my hair out with this issue. The main purpose of the Rock64 was a replacement for my RasbPI3 as a NAS. Since the Rock64 has Gigabit ethernet and USB3 it seemed like a good fit but so far it's been dissapointing.  (It's rock stable though Shy )

The drive I'm a Seagate STEA4000400 USB3 (powered by wall adapter) which performs great on my Windows rig. Transferring files from the same server as I'm using to test with the Rock64 gives me a stable 110MB/s up/down.

I'm currently running bionic-minimal-rock64-0.6.31-209-arm64, but I've also tried xenial-minimal-rock64-0.5.15-136-arm64 (the current stable release) and but had similar results.

Right now I'm only get around 20MB/s write and about 40MB/s read on the drive when using RSYNC or SAMBA, which seems way too low.

I've tried Rsync (SSH), then after reading SSH might be the culprit for poor speed changed to NFS, then when this didn't help I tried the Rsync protocol (no notable change in performance).  Then said screw it and tried transferring files via samba, same crap performance. I just tried to do a local rysnc moving files around on the drive, around 18MB/s.

At first the drive was formatted as EXT4, I've formatted it to NTFS now and still get the same performance. (I didn't expect any improvement, but this gave me the change to test the drive on my windows machine, which doesn't have the problem).

Here's some more debugging I've tried to do to narrow down the cause.. (all done with governor @ performance on 4.4.120-rockchip-ayufan-209)

Not sure if these are good results

Test with DD: Sad
Code:
/mnt/sg1/test$ dd if=/dev/zero of=./largefile bs=1M count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 29.5178 s, 36.4 MB/s

Cleared cache with
Code:
sudo sh -c "sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"

Then tested read, seems fine:
Code:
/mnt/sg1/test$ dd if=./largefile of=/dev/null bs=4k
262144+0 records in
262144+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 6.97084 s, 154 MB/s

This is how the drive is mounted in fstab: (ext4 I had some bad perf)
Code:
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST4000DM004-2CV104_ZFN0B7VM-part1  /mnt/sg1     ntfs-3g rw, big_writes, defaults,nofail 0 0

Hope someone one of the smart people on here can help me figure this one out.
Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone!

I've just bought a Rock64 board on 31 March and I received acknowledge from Sales team for this order. 

My question is, how long does it usually takes for an order to be shipped after being placed? I haven't found any info about this...
 
Thank you very much in advance for your time and help, regards...


Question Managing Android through a Gamepad???
Posted by: Danielsan - 04-07-2018, 01:16 AM - Forum: Android on Rock64 - Replies (7)

Hi guys,

I am trying Android (root) on my Rock64, I would like to use it with a gamepad rather then my keyboard+touchpad, the pad is working but I can only do tap/click and nothing more, all the buttons perform the same action, so I can't go back etc...

Does anyone of you have any idea how to make it possible?

Thanks in advance!
