Just received my Rock64.  I already have PIs, Wandboard Quads, Odroid-XU4, etc.  Loaded Stretch minimalon an SD, booted up and it booted right; everything worked.

I'll grant that I won't be using the multimedia features, but what I wanted was USB3, GB ethernet, quad core at a decent clock speed, and adequate RAM (4GB).  Not only that, this board is silent unlike the Odroid-XU4 which drives me a little crazy with the fan.

Currently, the Odroid functions as a NAS.  This board will replace it.  Very happy after spending a few hours doing Linuxy/Debiany type things with it.

I just wish there was a US distributor so it didn't take so long to get them.

Received Rock64 the other day found some time to mess with it. 

So finding there are some tools to add that I would like, just the same I decided to proceed without them, i.e. serial port setup, etc.  Hesitated a bit since I had not done one of these before, didn't want to hose it up beyond repair first time around.  But.. did anyway.

Loaded bionic.  Boots fine, do not have a working monitor on it, got to find the right combo.  I am logged in and updating bionic as I speak.

I have not pinpointed, but am investigating as I observe.  There is no apparent reason for it, do not know if it specifically has been mentioned, but ethernet is show RX errors, I noticed right off the bat.  Superficially, it should not have errors, i.e. a fairly new cable from Wally-World (it is one of those flat ones), but technically between my router and the rock64, the cable is the only thing.  Except for low level OS drivers... in ubuntu.  I am pretty confident in my network in house, as I am 4 TV cord cutter as well as internet... it is pretty solid.  And running ubuntu 17.10 vm under windows on the same subnet same route, no RX errors.

I have not noticed anyone else mentioning that, but have noticed the mention of poor network I/O.

Been trying to setup qemu dev environment for this (not really much luck booting anything on it).

Will continue to observe, and inform as I progress.

Hello,

Anyone with idea how to force polling rate for mouse?

It gets auto rate from device (1000hz in my case that is OK) but I would like to force 100, 250, 500 or 1000.

Throwing some reference:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_polling_rate

Mousepolling = 0.

Hi,

Like many before me I'm curious how long it takes to ship, I know its only been a few days but on the site says

"Note: PINE64 next shipment date will be on February 9th, 2018. Ship from Shenzhen China. "

so I've been eagerly waiting on some sort of notification but nothing

Dan (order 57448)

is it possible to boot android from a usb hard drive or are we limited to the emmc/sd card? do i need a u-boot file separate from the linux one?

Hi,


How does one get spi to work on mailine kernel?

i added the following to /boot/armbianEnvt.txt so it would load the overlay but that doesn't seem to help, are the overlays outdated for mainline?
 

verbosity=1
overlay_prefix=sun50i-a64
overlays=spi-spidev
param_spidev_spi_bus=0


Thx,
Jeroen

Hi,
I got recently a Rock64 4GB so I'm quite new user
I've done already few experiments with ayufan's images from "stable" branch (0.5.x) and must say it works great. I really appreciate that.
So I've tried 0.6.x images but still cannot succeed with booting them. With serial UART adapter debugging I'm getting with any 0.6.x image:

Does somebody have an issue with HDMI-CEC after TV turn off and on again? Neither video signal nor reaction on tv control.

Hi folks,

I'm facing a problem when I run the - Xenial Mate Community Build Image [microSD to eMMC] [0.5.15-136] - image on my newly received ROCK64: I have no sound out the 3.5 audio Jack.
I have tried mp3 files but also webradio through rhythmbox (when I ran the url I got an error message I haven't writen)

The plug is working, I checked with the Android 7 installation;

I have followed the instruction in the thread " https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...4+no+sound" without success.

Is there another thread I haven't read about that?

I am surprised because the forum is solving most my configuration problems (the "S" to probem is very important  ) but in this case no.

any idea to help?

thanks

Ludo

Hi guys,

I misunderstood the real capacity of this board, I was convinced it was slightly below the Odroid-XU4 but I was wrong, so now I would like to try pushing this board to its limits. I meant to use it with Lakka, so I am focusing on best performance available.

Right now the only thing I thought (but I haven't done yet) is check out the governor, I was thinking to set up it to "ondemand" or "performance" (mostly the latter). I would like also to enable the full GPU clock. General safe overclock it would be great but I haven't found any relevant info, it would be great if it is possible enable a safe overclock like the PI boards family. My cpu and gpu have a passive heat cooling.

Thanks in advance,

D.
