Hello,
Since the H64 is still in beta, that leaves room for changes, right? One that would be very useful is the inclusion of a SIM card slot, so I can use LTE modems. I think this is only required for systems that are GSM, such as AT&T and T-Mobile in the USA, and not Verizon and Sprint. I'll be testing this out soon.

If you don't think there's enough demand, maybe you can just change the PCB layout to leave me holes/pads to solder a SIM socket to.

The other thing that would be useful is retaining clips for the mini-PCIe slot. Without them, I am worried that the only thing physically holding the card in is the socket itself, and this doesn't seem like it would be very reliable. I note some holes in seemingly appropriate places to install such a clip, and I'll do this on the board I have (once I source the clip).

Please let me know about these, because I have to figure out some workaround if you're not going to include them in production boards.

Regards,
Robert K.

I'm very intrigued by the Rock64 and am on the cusp of a purchase.  I'm considering the eMCC addition but want to clarify on what OSs the Rock64 supports booting from the eMCC.  Is this page accurate in that the OSs with MicroSD boot mean only boot from MicroSD?

Thanks

This is a build of "minimal" Armbian with the change I had to make to get networking working. Do not update the the dtb file or it will break again. I am waiting on some feadback so I can upstream the fix if it works on other versions.

Hello,
  The "Software Images" wiki page has a table that mentions 30Hz refresh for 3840x2160 resolution, but after searching, it's still not clear whether or not there's a Linux distro that supports this full resolution @60Hz.  Can someone confirm that this is working?
(I know the HW spec says HDMI 2.0, so it's just a question of drivers and software).

Also, if it supports 2160p60, does it work at RGB444 chroma subsampling?  (not just YUV420 or YUV422)

Not worried about HDR10- I just want to have a lot of xterm windows open at once (so that rules out Android), and small text looks pretty bad at YUV420.
(I know 30Hz is OK for text too, but since my monitor supports 60Hz, I'd prefer it)

Thanks in advance!

Hello dear Pine64 Users,

First of all i want to say that i am new here and also with Pine64+ (1gb) version.

I have a 2K resolution 165 Hertz monitor from Omen (gaming brand of HP). When i plug my Pine with HDMI i can't get any signal on my display. I tried the monitor with other devices such as Macbook Pro via HDMI and it's totally fine.

Which operation system can supply 2560x1440p resolution? I mean i don't need that high resolution but Full HD is not working with my display. 

How can i use my Pine? Any support will be fancastic. Thank you!

I was suffering at ROCK 64 whether I can not do Minecraft.
The reason why Minecraft can not easily play on the single board computer with ARM installed,
LWJGL that is downloaded automatically by the launcher is not compatible with ARM.
Therefore, I compile LWJGL with ROCK 64.

* Here, FPS is very low because I do not use GPU to process graphics.
I am using "https://github.com/yuq/linux-lima", "https://github.com/yuq/mesa-lima"
Although I am challenging to compile, because of lack of knowledge, I have not been able to compile and install a forward kernel.
Please tell me how to compile the kernel with ROCK 64!
* The sound does not come out from the headphone jack for some reason!
Please tell me about this matter too!
* If you have any advice, please reply!

私は、ROCK64で、Minecraftができないかずっと悩んでいました。
ARM搭載のシングルボードコンピュータで、Minecraftが安易にプレイできない理由は、
ランチャーで自動的にダウンロードされるLWJGLがARMに対応していないことです。
そこで、LWJGLをROCK64でコンパイルしてしまいます。

*ここでは、グラフィックの処理にGPUを使っていないため、FPSがとても低いです。
私は、｢https://github.com/yuq/linux-lima｣、｢https://github.com/yuq/mesa-lima｣
のコンパイルに挑戦していますが、知識不足で、前方のカーネルのコンパイルとインストールができていません。
ぜひ、ROCK64でのカーネルのコンパイルの方法を教えてください!
*ヘッドホンジャックから音が何故か出ません!
この件についても教えてください!
*何かアドバイスがあったら、ぜひ返信をください!

Hello All,
I'm considering upgrading LCD panel on my pinebook to something better.
If I got spec sheet right - the panel used on pinebook is BOE HB140WX1-501, which using 30 pins eDP 1-line interface and require 3.3V. Panel specs
I'm thinking about trying AUO B140HAN01.3, which is 30 pins eDP 2-lines, same 3.3V. Panel specs
Does anyone tried something similar before (not necessary with same panel model)? Is there anything else I need to take into account before purchasing it?

How to fix "watch" in OMV - transmission plugin:

Watch option checks for *.torrent files in folder and starts downloading them straight away.
OMV by default doesn't let users use Internal memory.
Yes, even home folders (if enabled) are stored on external drive (as a workaround they can be symlinked).



For some reason if "watch" folder is pointed to external drive and file added by SMB share, it checks the "watch" folder only once when daemon start.

Here is quick fix:

In OMV Samba config add to additional options for symbolic links supoprt:

I have one of the old first gen Pine64 boards running debian 9 and my home automation software on it. Just love it but I'm looking to upgrade o something faster. Which board would be the best? I dont mind spending more for something that will be reliable and fast.
if anyone has some ideas or questions please respond.
