  4.4.120-gac51b70a-dirty works, 4.4.126-g6dc34509-dirty seems broken
Posted by: cooker - 05-07-2018, 08:54 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

I dare not do apt update/upgrade on my rock64-NAS, my family is using it.  So, I intend to build an update with AppArmor enabled on my spare rock64 and swap the sdcard after test.

Today, I follow exactly the same steps as what I had done successfully before.  But failed.

Sorry I am not a developer, I don't even have an active git a/c, I am happy to follow if you have a comprehensive instruction know-how on how to report error.  However, obviously, you don't have time to prepare that.  I can only report it here.

Running the first make -j5 (after make menuconfig) looks fine.  --edit-- sorry, it gets error too.
Then, there are lot of errors (missing files) during sudo make modules_install
Followings are copied from the end of sudo make install
I did it twice.  It should easily be reproduced.

Code:
make[3]: *** [drivers/gpu/arm/built-in.o] Error 1 scripts/Makefile.build:484: recipe for target 'drivers/gpu/arm' failed make[2]: *** [drivers/gpu/arm] Error 2 scripts/Makefile.build:484: recipe for target 'drivers/gpu' failed make[1]: *** [drivers/gpu] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....   CC      drivers/hid/hid-debug.o   CC      drivers/hid/hidraw.o ... ...   LD      drivers/hid/usbhid/built-in.o   LD      drivers/hid/built-in.o Makefile:1028: recipe for target 'drivers' failed make: *** [drivers] Error 2
Thank you for your attention.

edit --------------------

BTW, I always use
Code:
$ git clone --depth 1 --single-branch -b release-4.4 https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-kernel
to get the source code and assume it is the stable release.  Is it?


edit 2 ---------------
Lucky me saved a copy of source code for 4.4.120
Just do the "make -j5" again, I timed it and it took real 80m.
I amended the first post that said the step of "make -j5" is fine because that took real 40m only.  Something should be wrong for such a big time saving, right?
Good Night


  Issues with first start, what do the different LED states mean?
Posted by: Botagar - 05-07-2018, 04:14 AM - Forum: Clusterboard - Replies (4)

Hi all!

I partook in the baseboard + 1 free SOPine offer a few months back but only just got around to having a play around with it.
I've attempted to get the module up and running with the xenial-minimal-sopine-bspkernel-0.7.19-118.img.xz image found here (https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-build/releases). I loaded it up on a 64GB SD card through Etcher, but nothing gets registered on the network. I tried enabling emcc_compat=on after a fresh etch.

Basically debugging is rather hard because there is very little information about the default behavior of the baseboard. I've linked a gif of what the board is doing. The (power?) LED's just blink in near enough unison and the orange LEDS (Net Activity?) blink together semi frequently. Nothing lights up on the SOPine board itself.

I'm powering the system up through the barrel jack connector with the PSU sold on the official site. I've confirmed with a voltmeter that the voltage levels are correct.

Can anyone point out what might be happening? And what steps I could take to further debug what might be going on?

Cheers~!


  Android and SD Card
Posted by: gigagames - 05-05-2018, 06:50 PM - Forum: Android on Rock64 - Replies (2)

Hello,

i try to get Android running, with an SD card.

I Downloaded android-7.1-rock-64-rock64_atv-v0.3.13-r115-raw.img.gz
When im trying to Flash it with Etcher, its telling me "It looks like this is not a bootable image. The image does not appear to contain a partition table, and might not be recognized or bootable by your device" 
When i Flash it to my sd card and insert the card into the Rock, my Window keeps being black.

When im using the Pine64 Installer, and select "Community Android TV 7.1. (ROCK64 microSD) (should be the same as i dowonloaded..) same behaviour -> Window keeps being black.

So how the heck can i get Android running with an SD card ?

Thanks for helping and sry for bad english


  Debian to eMMC?
Posted by: Hoerli - 05-04-2018, 12:59 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (7)

Hello!
I am the proud owner of a new ROCK64
I have already tried Android and would like to install a "normal" system on the ROCK.

Currently there is only Xenial Mate for the eMMC chip.
This is currently running, but not really stable / good.
It hangs when you update. So I had to reinstall the system 4 times.
Is there an easy way to get e.g. Debian on the eMMC chip?
So far I only found a manual with a console cable, but I don't own one.

Hope there will be a good possibility to install e.g. Linux Mint soon. To be honest, I also like the Cinnamon surface more than mate.


  Shipping to Iran

Hello

I want to order some goods from pine64 website. But, when I was going to proceed to checkout page, the page told me that:
"There are no shipping methods available. Please double check your address, or contact us if you need any help."

Can I proceed to checkout? Iran is listed in the List of Countries and Shipping Services.

Thanks.


  Flashing rockchip 'update' images on Linux
Posted by: Luke - 05-04-2018, 06:55 AM - Forum: Android on Rock64 - No Replies

If you're using Linux on your PC then flashing Android images to the Rock64 (other than the RAW dd images) is a bit tricky.
I came across a utility for Linux that makes the process nice and easy, allowing you to flash 'update' images directly to eMMC.

The software is called upgrade_tool and can be downloaded from here
You can read about it and its different functions here

In short, after downloading and extracting the contents of the archive, navigate in terminal to the extracted utility and flash the update.img using the following command:

Code:
sudo ./upgrade_tool uf /path/to/update.img
[edit] I forgot to add; you need to force the board into recovery mode first and it has to be connected to your Linux PC using an A-to-A USB cable.

  Delivery and order information and technical info, S/W etc for RockPro64
Posted by: superpat - 05-02-2018, 09:44 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (9)

Hi,

I was lucky enough to be able to purchase one of the initial release of the rockpro64 boards.  

I am very  disappointed that there has been no emailed confirmation of my order yet, or any delivery schedule.   I have only received a PayPal confirmation.

I notice that there is no info yet available on this website regarding the boards, (apart from the initial publicity).

Will you be adding these info on these boards and the S/W  to the wiki before the board arrives,  or have we got to work it all out for ourselves?


regards

Patrick
