Hi everybody,

I need some help with my rock64 - it does not boot up. I purchased it second hand, the previous owner said that since he tried to re-flash the SPI it does not come up again. 

I attached a serial console to watch the boot process and now I‘m stuck. Here are the boot messages (appearing in an eternal loop):

All attempts of erasing or re-flashing the SPI as described here do not work. The rock64 does not seem to come to the point where it would be able to read from the micro sd card. 

Does anybody have a hint for me? Do I need a eMMC card to boot from? Or are there ways of erasing the SPI flash memory through the GPIO pins?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi, I am planning to buy Rock64 4GB, I decided to opt for this because of the better speeds than the raspberry pi.

Would you think this a good starter pack for emulation and media center purposes? What else do I need, or what I don't need? 

Thanks!

I just got my ROCK 64 with the jessie-openmediavault-rock64-0.6.25-193-arm64.img image from https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...tag/0.6.25 

But the external hard (http://en.sharkoon.com/product/1685/10394#specs) drive isnt recognized.

What is going on? The hard drive works fine with Openmediavault on raspberry pi & OdroidXU4.

Is it possible to measure hardware status (core temperature, core voltage, core clock, memory voltage, memory clock, etc.) on the Rock64 under Linux? So far, I've managed to read core temperature and clockspeed, but that's about it.

I know vcgencmd works on the Raspberry Pi, and was ported to the Pine64, but I haven't seen anything similar for the Rock64.

I installed in my rock64 android emmc following this tutorial http://files.pine64.org/doc/rock64/guide...o_eMMC.pdf and all good, but when it starts in a few seconds, it gets stuck.

You know that you can be? Thank you.

Hi all,
I'm thinking of buying a Pine A64 along with the 7" touch screen panel, can you let me know whether Android supports touch gestures like scrolling and zooming, and does it include a virtual keyboard like on a regular Android phone/tablet?
Thanks.

Hi,

I can not find any information regarding SoC freq used.
How it compare to Rock64, which uses 1296 MHz clock?

When I tried flashing the latest release OpenMediaVault 64bit image to emmc, I got a never ending stream of sector errors.  It stopped when I put in an sd card and tried booting again.  Later, I connected my external hard drives and UPS.  The thing kept redecting all USB devices over and over, and never completing a boot.

I tried booting off microSD withthe Sd to eMMC image, and the first time, it loaded and couldn't complete the dd.  I rebooted and did it again, without disconnecting power and this time it worked, but rebooted to the above issues again.

Is the rock64 board still not ready for prime time yet? Do I have a bad eMMC? What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

support for slarm64 for rock64 development boards (aarch64 unofficial port slackware)
the system can be assembled as armhf and aarch64, assemblies are made under aarch64
