I'm using windows 10, SDFomatter to erase SD (format adjustment ON). I have tried both etcher and Win32Diskimage. Only once did I get a bottable SD. I erased it because I wanted the desktop version. Since then, no image will boot up. I have ethernet hooked up, but it does show up an IPscanner, and I  my monitor nevers shows anything but a black screen.  What an I doing wrong?
I have burned/flashed all these images:

Armbian_5.41_Rock64_Debian_stretch_default_4.4.115_desktop
Armbian_5.41_Rock64_Ubuntu_xenial_default_4.4.115
artful-minimal-rock64-0.5.15-136-arm64
jessie-openmediavault-rock64-0.5.15-136-armhf
OMV_3_0_90_Pine64_4.13.10
stretch-mate-rock64-0.5.15-136-20171222-arm64

Without success. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?...crimony!!!

Received my new clusterboard and OS-Pines today and have a few issues.

Mounting screw holes too small.  Since the board is MiniITX the mounting holes should be M3 (per the ATX spec), but they are much smaller.  The mounting screws on common MiniITX cases won't fit without modifying the holes.

SO-Pines won't reboot.  Already reported by @PeterKeuning.  On software reboot the SO-Pine powers down but does not restart.  At least most of the time...sometimes, randomly, it seems to work.

Power-on behavior is very inconsistent.  With less than 7 sockets populated everything seems to work consistently.  But with all 7 plugged in one or more modules does not start up.  The yellow NIC activity light on the "inactive" node does not flash and the green LED is also dark.  Also - when this happens - at least one of the other nodes has the green "heartbeet" LED on solid, though that module otherwise seems to be fine.

Clusterboard is powered from the on-board barrel jack using the "official" power brick.  I've moved the SO-Pine's around on the board to see if one of them is responsible, but it doesn't seem to follow any one module.  Software is Ayufun's xenial-minimal-sopine-bspkernel-0.7.19-118.

Also, any leads on a good working minimal Linux with mainline (or at least 4.4.x) kernel would be appreciated.  Looking for one that can be installed without having to hack the kernel modules to get network working (no need for video).

I have tried numerous and they all have had problems.

Armbian ( https://dl.armbian.com/pine64/) : just loads up to a certain point then starts just spewing "Call trace:" Even their Ubuntu image won't boot (Kernel panic).



The Ayunfan current image ( https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-b...tag/0.7.19 ) boots, but requires additional files from an repo to install a desktop which is no longer available.

Older versions seem to get that Kernel Panic also.

The only one I can get up and running, is the one listed on the Wiki, but is not stable at all.

Another other suggestions?

So back when the pine 64 board was fresh off Kickstart I got the parts to build a tablet. Back then it was all really knew and a lot has changed and I haven’t really been apart of the community sense then. But I wanted to be able to run the touchscreen and hdmi at the same time back then. While I was trying to figure this out I read something on this forum about changing a file in the android os on my pine to run sound  out of hdmi and the 3.5mm jack. I did this and after the 3.5mm jack stopped working. This was over a year ago and I haven’t use the tablet much sense then. I now have a project that requires the use of the 3.5mm jack. I have spent the past hour tying to find that forum post to change the file but I cannot find it can anyone help me fix my jack?

Hi All, 

I have a rock64 running ayufan 0.5.15-136 with OMV 3. Works great so thanks to the pine64 team and the community - especially ayufan!

I am trying to get a docker image/container to work - https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn

This is a useful docker image that combines transmission and openvpn together but its not build for armhf so it needs to be built manually.

There is a armhf dockerfile that can be used to build an image for armhf and I have been able to use 'docker build' command to build the image on my rock64 but it doesn't work. I'm a total noob with docker so i was hoping to get some help.

I think the issue is the first command in the docker file - FROM resin/rpi-raspbiantretch

I think i need to change this with something that works for rock64. 

Any ideas?

thanks jata

Oke so i have a problem installing LibreElec onto the latest version of the Rock64.

Main problem: On first boot / auto-install of the O/S it keeps getting stuck. Everytime at a different spot; e.g. 3.xxxx / 26.xxxx.
The max i've seen is 66.xxxx.

I'm using the following setup:

PSU: 3A adapter from Pine64 webshop.
Board: ROCK64 4K60P HDR Media Board Computer - 4GB
Storage: Sandisk Ultra 32GB SDHC class 10. 2 cards.

I've tried the following firmware:
- LibreELEC-rock64.arm-rb-leia24.img.gz, on both cards.
- LibreELEC-rock64.arm-rb-leia23.img.gz, on both cards.

And i'm using the following software (within Win10X64) with both firmware for each :
- Win32DiskImager.
- Etcher.

In between i've repartitioned it to a 1 partition, did a format with all default, and after flashing ofc i've used the release before removal feature.

[media]https://pastebin.com/Ep6RrdEG[/media] <- thats an error log with 66% decompressed build 24 and being able to boot, If it's usefull.

Then tried to manually flashed the SPI to version 0.6.25, worked perfectly.
Next decompressing attempt: Stuck at 9.3 for about 15 minutes (jKy2y79Z.jpg), gave up.

It has been mentioned that version 21 should work best, as 24 should to, and 22/23 hmm well, less. But version 21 has been taken offline.

When trying Linux (stretch-mate-rock64-0.5.15-136-20171222-arm64.img) on the same SD card's, it works perfectly.

LibreELEC-ROCK64.aarch64-8.2-devel-20171004193222-r26173-gd404dbb.img -> The installation part works great, it autoreboots and everything (instead of the other versions) then it crashes after using it for a couple of minutes ([media]https://pastebin.com/1vwA8Yw2[/media]).

Will you provide a version of ROCKPRO64 plus with enhanced dram of around 6GB-8GB?

The title is self-explainatory. I am really sorry if I am asking the obvious, but I am pretty interested in the product and my best efforts weren't enough to find out any information on when it will be available again (if ever).

just got my first rock64 board, I used the tutorial of installing the EMMC chip with android (the update version) That all went fine but now when i try to boot it's stuck on the android logo, doesnt move for hours. 

I'm not sure maybe I can try to install it again but I'm not able to get the device to show up on the pc now like i did before.

What can I do?

thanks,

Robert

Hi everyone,  I just bought a rock64 and my problem is that the leds (green, white and red) are always blinking...Someone can tell me whats happening? I have checked the input power, however I bought too the adapter with the rock64. 

I have noticed when all is in silent, you can heard a noise, like a clock that sound the same time the leds are blinking.

I need some help... I don't know what I should do, because is the first time trying to connect the rock64 and doesn't work.
