Hello everyone, I'm Matteo. A few days ago I'm trying to install a web environment on 4GB Rock64. I tried both with Debian and Ubuntu, but I had installation errors on MariaDB and PHP. Sometimes I've had kernel panics.  
What can I do?
What is the best distro to make a LAMP environment on Rock64?
thanks.

I picked up a sopine clusterboard with a bunch of computing modules. I am curious about how one loads os onto the compute modules. Do I need to get a usb finger drive for each compute module and plug it into the usb slot? Is the usb slot for the cluster usb 2.0 or 3.0?

Thanks,

Just to let you know, we have opened a dedicated topic on the Volumio Forum for Rock64 issues

Hi, as title, is possible to install Home Assistant (hass.io) on pine64 2gb version?
Thanks a lot

Hello everyone.
Could you please advice what is the best way to shutdown the board with android 7.0?
The system image provided has no root permission, and I cannot weld any physical button because of the cover.
Is the IR receiver the only solution? Is there any alternative with the bluetooth module and any application?
I'm in Europe and I don't want to wait two weeks to receive the IR.
Thanks

I just tried to plug a Playstation Eye camera in the rock64 and it didnt work out of the box (ayufan ubuntu bionic minimal).

Here is some information:

uname --all

I would like to build a video pattern generator for calibration of TVs. One item of importance id the capability of outputting HDR10 images. I haven't been able to find any information on OS software and or application programming to do so. I know that the Rock64 is capable of outputting HDR10 metadata, but how to do so and what software is supported is unknown. Does anyone have any leads in this regard?

Thank You in advamce.

As it looks like that the Sata and USB3 combi on these boards is not going to be available soon, I was wondering what the performance is going to be if I would copy an CF or SD memory card (>= 32GB) over a USB3 Hub to an SSD HDD using the Rock64.

As a photographer I have a need to backup my memory cards on location.  There are commercial solutions, but the DIY in me wants to build it myself.

So I was thinking of a Rock64, USB3 hub (with or without external power?!), card reader and 256GB SSD. With the wish of placing an HDMI, or GPIO Display on top for menu and viewing images. Power supply over 18650 Powerbank (3A).

If this proves a working concept, a lot of photographers would be very happy.

So does anyone have experience in the performance copying USB3->USB3 of large files (25MB average) ?

Hi!
I just received my board and as I see there is some kind of solder on the bottom side under USB connectors, besides there is thin threads from this solder goes to the USB2 connector
I have not received power cord, so I can not test it, can anybody say is it normal? see pics

Trying to get my new Pine A64-LTS to boot. Flashed a MicroSD card using Etcher with the Armbian_5_38_Pine64so_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.10.107 image. Etcher reported that the flash was successful.  When power is provided to the board (power supply from Pine), the green power light turns on, and a few seconds later one of the blue LED's starts flashing. The green light on the Network port comes on, and stays on, and I get periodic flashes of the yellow light on the port. That is a far as it gets. I don't see it showing up in the network connections on my router, so no IP address, so can't ssh in.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks for your time.

William.
