Has anyone been able to run the arduino IDE on the rock64?

I tried to on the latest Xenial mainline ... It seemed to install just fine, but doesn't launch.

I just got a couple of different ESP32 dev boards, thought I'd play with them, on the Rock 64

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a rock64 SbC and I want to install arch linux. I've installed u-boot and installed/burned arch linux onto my micro sd card and hdd. Upon booting it for the first time I got no signal on my keyboard and mouse. Then I booted it for the second time and my keyboard flash it's lights, so did the mouse but my monitor DID NOT detect any signal.

Any Ideas?

The image I used is from this one, I've also tried this image. That didn't fix anything.

You might be asking ' why arch linux and not one of the software images in the rock64 wiki? ' - Well Fedora has a problem with the root password. Debian cannot connect to my wifi network, Xenial mate does but it's laggy and sluggish, Xenial I3 doesn't connect to my wifi network. And I have experience with arch linux, I would prefer Void Linux over Arch but the board isn't supported.

I recently noticed a significant increase of overlapping posts/ threads on the forum. Realistically speaking this probably cannot be avoided as new members join to have one or two questions answered so they can set up their hardware. But I do think that it would be beneficial to have this under control.

To this end, I feel that a  part of the problem is that people do not us/  do not know how to use the search functions available to them. Typing in a search query in the box on the top right of the forum is rarely useful because of how myBB interprets a search.

For instance, a search for

Hi Community,

The project I am working on requires SCTP protocol support on the Rock64, which I believe is not configured for the current mainline kernel (although perhaps compiled as a module?). I test the SCTP support using the checksctp function from lksctp-tools package.

I have attempted to compile and flash the kernel through the supplied Debian platform, but unfortunately the device no longer boots. 

Perhaps I am being a little simplistic in my steps for achieving a custom kernel:

-- edit config (CONFIG_IP_SCTP=y amongst various others required for SCTP)
-- build kernel on-device for ARM64 architecture 
-- sudo make install

Is it preferable to build the kernel using the linux-build branch (in conjunction with uboot)? 

Thanks

Hey guys after a lengthy search for my first single board I settled on the Rock64 mostly because of the 4gb ram. I wish that it had wifi but a dongle works just as well and gives it a little more character. Anyways I just wanted to say hey and thank you for this board. 
It has been many years since I have used linux so I have some reading to do tonight. The wiki seems very informative.  Also I have some future plans to bring many more people into the single board world and I hope that this community will help and welcome them. 

I do have one question right now. I flashed my 64gb SD with jessie-minimal-rock64-0.5.15-136-arm64.img however it has no desktop enviroment. What is the easiest way for me to get a pretty looking and easy to use linux up and running quickly? Also security is a major issue. It must be safe. 

Thanks,
J

Hello all.

I've made a review video about the Rock64.
If you have any advice, please let me know.

Here it is.

Have a nice day.

whenever i try to use scp to transfer a large file this happens:

sftp> put configs_all.tar.gz
Uploading configs_all.tar.gz to /home/rock64/configs_all.tar.gz
Failed to set the permissions or timestamp on the destination file: The operation was aborted because the channel closed. 
The sftp operation was aborted.

does not happen with small files

tried restarting sshd 
service sshd restart

but get same error

Here's a 3D printable case I made for the H64.  It's not perfect but it works.

Does RockPro64 support UHS speed?
It seems that not many SBC have support the high speed SD bus due to the lower voltage requirement requires extra hardware to detect the type of card to switch to lower voltage and directly using lower voltage will breaking backward compatibility.

However, for a competent hardware like RockPro64 (2Ghz CPU, PCI-E, etc.), not having a fast SD card bus seems a bit of shame.

 Yesterday I installed bionic Linux 0.6.31 from ayufan, then I installed the desktop mate, I tried to play the video and noticed that it is possible to watch the video with hardware acceleration only through the rkmpv, but it works only in fullscreen mode and it is impossible to roll it into the window. Are there any plans for further work to improve video playback ?
