Hello!

It isn't possible to search in forum for words shorter than 4 letters, therefore I'd like to ask this way, whether has anybody experience with using QNX with Pine A64 board?
I'd like to learn/compare development using Windows IoT (this is supported I saw) and QNX, but about QNX I can't find any information. If there's already a dedicated thread, please redirect me to it.

Thank you,
Robert

Hi,

Not sure why I am getting the below when trying to install gnome3 dekstop.  Have seen these 'Installing new rk3328-rock64.dtb' messages a few times when install apps using sudo apt-get install.....  but don't know why they occur..... using 0.6.15 at present

Hi all,

I've been reading this thread with interest as I'm currently trying to cram in information to decide between the Rock64 and Odroid XU4 to turn my TerraMaster D5-300 into a NAS (link) using OMV...... I'm siding more with the Rock64 at the moment (4gb???) but thought I'd need to explain exactly what I was trying to do in order to get some proper advice.

End result is to use it as an rsync backup destination or a Synology NAS aswell as a SMB/AFP/SSH backup destination for a Mac running ChronoSync.

Is the Rock64 the right choice and what model would I need? As for suppliers to the UK, order direct from https://www.pine64.org/?product=rock64-m...d-computer ?

thanks

Dan

Preface


This quick and simple guide will show how to connect to your Rock64 with Windows native Remote Desktop Connection client.


Prerequisites


ROCK64 board running Debian or Ubuntu, connected to the local network

Access to terminal, either locally or via SSH

Some basic understanding of using the linux terminal


____________________


Debian:

Make sure you do not have any other VNC servers installed like vnc4server or tightvncserver.

A PoE splitter for the Rock64? Awesome!
It doesn't specify if it's 10/100 or 10/100/100???
Well, it claims to be compatible with the Rock64, which is 10/100/1000, so, the PoE is probably 10/100/1000 right??? 
Nope................ It's 10/100.........

Why does the product page not warn customers that this is a 100Mbps max PoE splitter? This is a HUGE oversight. I now have 2x 10/100 PoE splitters which can't be used for my Rock64 without eliminating one of the specific reasons I puchased the Rock64, GIGABIT ETHERNET.

Here's a post of a forum moderator mis-identifying the PoE as Gigabit capable, and recommending it to a forum user who explicitely is looking for a Gigabit version. https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5108

Here's the same moderator indicating in May of 2016, that the PoE adapter is, in fact, 10/100, and the "KS team" will be instructed to post more detail on the PoE. https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=931

It LOOKS like Pine64 wants customers to mis-identify the PoE and purchase a 10/100 unit without realizing it.... which would be really naughty of Pine64...

Which OS/Application can play 4K HDR video?

Android 7.1?
Linux?  Which version?  Which player?

Ideally, I would like to play 4K HDR files with Python on Linux without a GUI.

Thanks!

Which pins does the DAC board use? It looks like it uses the 20 pin. Does this mean that it leaves the 40 pin GPIO pins free to use?

If you play a HLS stream in Chrome Browser or VLC player it stutters every 1-2 seconds.
Doesn't play well at all.
Any solution for this?

Hi,
I just receive my first rock64. I installed xenial mate, all works fine.
There is a possibility to install openvc on rock64?
if it is possible can you help me to find the right way?
Thanks
Roberto

Hello all,

I plan to setup a new low cost backupserver which also should work as a NAS.
The external HDD for the backups should be completely encrypted with LUKS.

At the moment, I am doing my backups with a Raspberry Pi 3 with an USB HDD on OpenmediaVault with UrBackup.

Unfortunately, the transfer speeds are super slow (about 10MB/s) and I need a couple of days for a Full Backup (about 5TB of Data)
and I wanna speedup that.

I already looked thru the SBC Models and kept my eyes onto the PineH64 and the RockPro64.
Especially the option to upgrade with a (Mini) PCIE to 4x SATA Adapter, and the encryption
extensions in the processor are very interesting to me.

Now my question is, can you recommend the PineH64 or the RockPro64? for the job?
Did anybody already tested the LUKS and Ethernet Performance of a PineH64 / RockPro64?
Dont understand me wrong, I dont want super high speeds here and I know that SBC's are limited in their performance.

What I am imagine is an increase to about 40MB/s of total write speed via Gigabit Ethernet onto an USB3 or SATA HDD which is luks encrypted.

Is that possible with a PineH64 or a RockPro64? Or should i better use another SBC or a low power Intel/AMD PC for the Job?

Thanx in advance.

Regards
