Hi All,

I received the pine64 LTS board today and would like to load openBSD on to it. I have openBSD current snapshots running on a much older (from February 2016ish) pine64 board without any issues.

I did what I did last week to install openBSD on the working board:

My Rock64 have a faulty voltage regulator.  The breakdown happened from a faulty power supply adapter.  It can still boot up a Linux OS but there are a few complications.. HDMI is not working and Its very slow to execute programs.  The error messages are about voltage regulator not responding to the I2C messages so I figured replacing the RK805 voltage regulator might fix it.

The problem is that I don't have a spare RK805 and Pine64 does not want to sell me one, it's understandable but a bummer since there are is nobody else with these chips.  That is why I am asking here for advice.

Hello,

I do not have the skills to create this interface style yet very handy.

This could be useful... When do you think to personalize it and make it reliable for the rock64 with debian ?

You can test what exists for Asus Tinkerboard

sudo sh tinker-config

I tried starting up ROCK 64 using such a command, but unfortunately I could not start it. (White lamp, green lamp and red lamp are in a state of lighting) I suspected that the image file was damaged, but I will not change how many times. However, writing 0.5.15 xenial and artful images on the micro sd card, I was able to launch it. The same problem occurred in the images of bionic (arm64) of 0.6.25, 0.6.26, and 0.6.27. What should I do?

Also, I have another question.

Although it is an image of armbian distributed here, it was also impossible to start up here. Apparently, there seems to be no boot partition, but how do you start it?

私はこのようなコマンドを使い、ROCK64の起動を試しましたが、残念ながら起動することができませんでした。(白のランプと緑のランプと赤のランプが光りっぱなしの状態)私は、イメージファイルの破損を疑いましたが、何度やっても変わりません。しかし、マイクロsdカードに0.5.15のxenialとartfulのイメージを書き込んだところ、起動することができました。この問題は、0.6.25、0.6.26、0.6.27のbionic(arm64)のイメージでも同じことが起きました。どうすればいいのでしょうか?

それと、もう一つ質問があります。

こちらで配布されてるarmbianのイメージですが、こちらも起動することができませんでした。どうやら、bootパーティションなどが無いようなのですが、どのようにして起動するのですか?

Hello all,

I'm trying to connect an MCP23017 to the i2c bus on one of the Clusterboard's headers (J4) and I'm unable to see it from Linux using i2cdetect:

Hi Pine64 community, 

I have been very happy to have Rock64 running openmediavault to manager my 3 HDDs for share, 2 HDDs sitting on USB3 HDD dock for non-raid share, 1 HDD USB2 running cold backup. Now I would like to install desktop, e.g. xfce4/lxde/gnome/i3, on top of my OMV image. I run "install_desktop.sh" script from "/usr/local/sbin/" after searching through forum and internet. 

The installation progress get stuck while fetch plex, the error code is in below. The full details list at bottom for better reading.

Is someone able to provide a set of steps that would result in a DVD server?  I have a USB 3.0 DVD drive I'd like to share on my home network as it's own independent server.

- I use to burn a weekly backup
- I'd like to also use it on my home network so anyone could watch videos

Hello,

Can anyone ping me here the package/Footprint information for the recommended Wi-Fi+BT breakout board for SoPine A64 Baseboard?


Awaiting a reply.

Thanks in advance.

I have the Pine64 LCD touchscreen kit and was wondering if anybody would have the time to help configure it to work with OpenAuto. It looks like this would be a good use for the kit and I might finally get some use out of it. I tried to set everything up with the Armbian image but I couldn't get aasdk compiled properly because I didn't have the correct version of protobuf or something. Any help would be appreciated!

I've received my Rock64 4GB a few weeks back but I'm having some trouble getting the external hard drive to perform as it should.

I really hope anyone here has some idea's on how to get performance up to spec because I'm about to pull my hair out with this issue. The main purpose of the Rock64 was a replacement for my RasbPI3 as a NAS. Since the Rock64 has Gigabit ethernet and USB3 it seemed like a good fit but so far it's been dissapointing.  (It's rock stable though )

The drive I'm a Seagate STEA4000400 USB3 (powered by wall adapter) which performs great on my Windows rig. Transferring files from the same server as I'm using to test with the Rock64 gives me a stable 110MB/s up/down.

I'm currently running bionic-minimal-rock64-0.6.31-209-arm64, but I've also tried xenial-minimal-rock64-0.5.15-136-arm64 (the current stable release) and but had similar results.

Right now I'm only get around 20MB/s write and about 40MB/s read on the drive when using RSYNC or SAMBA, which seems way too low.

I've tried Rsync (SSH), then after reading SSH might be the culprit for poor speed changed to NFS, then when this didn't help I tried the Rsync protocol (no notable change in performance).  Then said screw it and tried transferring files via samba, same crap performance. I just tried to do a local rysnc moving files around on the drive, around 18MB/s.

At first the drive was formatted as EXT4, I've formatted it to NTFS now and still get the same performance. (I didn't expect any improvement, but this gave me the change to test the drive on my windows machine, which doesn't have the problem).

Here's some more debugging I've tried to do to narrow down the cause.. (all done with governor @ performance on 4.4.120-rockchip-ayufan-209)
