Hi all,

I was checking the logs on my rock64 - purchased in Feb 2018 and I see entries that look like there is a real time clock (RTC) on the board

May 31 09:03:04 rock64 kernel: [    2.263456] rk808-rtc rk808-rtc: rtc core: registered rk808-rtc as rtc0
May 31 09:03:04 rock64 kernel: [    3.225131] rk808-rtc rk808-rtc: setting system clock to 2016-01-21 08:50:11 UTC (1453366211)

Is this correct / possible?

Hi,

The subject says it all.  To be clear, the keyboard worked fine in 0.6.41 and now it does not. (I am running Stretch Minimal and the board has been running flawlessly for about a year.)  I am trying to sort out what changed.  Is anyone else seeing this?

I opened a case in github with a ton of details including screenshots and dmesg output.  However, as a quick summary, when I plug in my USB keyboard it is recognized fine, but every time I type a key, the following appears in the console:

rockchip-sip: function[82000008]: args:[2,0,2] => res:[0,2ed96880,0,0]

This happens with every keypress and if I hold shift, it repeats rapidly. The Rock64 still accepts the characters normally though, but all this junk makes the physical keyboard unusable.  SSH access still works without an issue and everything seems to be running normally besides this.

Anyone else have this issue?  Any suggestions on how to address it?

Thank you!

Hi,

I've been running my Rock64 for about 4 months as an FTP/Samba server for my home network and it's been running great. Recently the red LED is constantly on. Previously it would only come on during processing activity. Everything seems to be working fine but I'm curious as to why the change in the LED status.

I am running 4.4.126-rockchip-ayufan-239 from a 16GB EMMC Chip.

I'm very interested in hearing your thoughts as to why this LED is now constantly on.

Best,
Tom

Hello,

I received this week my rock64 sbc and i installed ubuntu with etcher from image file: xenial-mate-rock64-0.5.5-136-arm64.img.xz. This gives a system version 16.04.3LTS with a kernel 4.4.77-rockchip-ayufan-136aarch64.

I also bought this wifi dongle (https://www.pine64.org/?product=usb-wifi...for-rock64), but i don't succed to make it working. It is well detected by the sbc (from lsusb output). Even after executing the command "sudo iw reg set FR" (i am in France), i don't succed to configure an internet connection with this wifi dongle.
Someone can help?

regards

Does the Rock64 have a real hardware random number generator that can be used as a source of entropy with rng-tools?

I am trying to get kivy up and running on my sopine board with the pine lcd. It is complaining about not know what to use as the main video driver however and I didn't know if anyone knew how to get the board to use a different video driver or to get kivy to play nice with the lcd? I know the raspberry pi and its touch screen will work but I think it is due to the fact there is support for its display driver within kivy.


Any help is appreciated

I would like to trade my 14" PB for 11" PB, preferably within European Union

We would only pay for the shipping of our packages.

Please PM me, if you are interested.

I think that step by step I will converge to some 2 in 1 device and may sell also my second 14" Pinebook. It is an interesting device, I have learned a lot with it, but I miss some key features, not only lack of Windows support, but also a lack of arm64 applications for instant messaging, low performance, lack of touch screen, etc.

So if someone from EU would be interested, we can make a deal.

hi!

to my rock64 device, it will be able to connect 2 network cables?
thank's.

Hello,

I am trying to use the "Android 7.1.2 Stock Image using DD method [eMMC Boot] [20180518]" image to write to my 64GB eMMC module.

I have the USB adapter for eMMC and used the Pine64 installer to write the image to the eMMC module.

The image wrote and was verified successfully by the Pine64 installer.

When I put the eMMC module onto the board and boot, the light comes on, but nothing else happens. I left it for 15 minutes then switched it off and retried downloading and writing the image again. - this did not work either.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

I have my ROCK64 booted with the Debian Stretch Mate OS, and Im trying to figure out how to enable the USB wifi adapter delivered with my board.

I see the USB adapter listed in the USB devices, but wlan0 is not present in ifconfig.

Do I need to download and compile a driver, or is it just a matter of editing a config file somewhere?  When wlan0 is up and running what file contains the SSID and PSK from my network?

Thanks.
