Well, there's this thread by the moderator called Luke instructing how to boot Linux and "some" Android images from a USB device. The link to it is this: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5610

I followed the instructions. I downloaded and burned ayufan's u-boot-flash-spi.img.xz image to my SD, waited for the Rock64 to start blinking, and then turned off to take the SD out. I then tried Pine64's own Android image AND Ayufan's TV version but none will boot off an externally powered HDD OR USB flash drive. The screen on my monitor doesn't even turn black or anything (no signal).

According to Luke's guide, I have to go to this link here: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/ to check which images can be booted from SPI but I do not understand these hub pages at all. I've no idea where to even find a list of Android images that mention SPI.

I found this hub page titled "u-boot Android" or something but I have no clue what this page is even about: https://github.com/rock64-android/u-boot . I'm not Linux savvy to understand at all.

BTW, running Android through SD runs perfectly fine. But as we all know, SDs wear out -- especially for what I'll want to use the Rock64 for.

Hi another question I want to be able to power my rock64 by usb so I can plug direct into USB power supply. Will this adapter from store work or is there more to it? Also will 5v 2.4a be sufficient enough to power the rock64? Thanks.

Just picked up my Rock64-4GB from the mailbox and proceeded to boot up the latest Android OS.

When I plug it in, only the 2+1 LED lights come on and the display is dark.

The monitor(s) and television all do not detect a signal from the HDMI port of the unit.

Not much to the installation and cannot do too much without a display.

Is there a fix or is the board DOA? 

Hi There,

I have just received my Rock64 4GB board . I plan to use this as a OMV dedicated machine. Since this board will run headless using Ayufan's stable release of the OMV image which I plan to install on the 16GB eMMC module, I would like to have a 16x4 lcd screen to monitor basic status of the board. 

Would anyone know if the GPIO is enabled by default or would I need to install the RPi.GPIO python module? 

Any help or advise from the community would be greatly appreciated.

Hi what OS is dac from store compatible with? Can it work with android, LibreELEC etc or will I have to use volumio? Thanks. 

The Amazon Prime app just crashes and you can't play anything.
I see Beelink already released an update to fix it months ago for their RK3328 A1.
Any news?

Hello

I would like to use a touch screen I bought off aliexpress, but unfortunately, the input is rotated by 90 degrees. Rotating the image does not solve the issue - input rotates with it.
I have tried changing the build.props rotation to 90, but unfortunately it works just like regular rotation, input rotates as well.

In the android docs, I have found:

Quote:touch.orientationAware
Definition: touch.orientationAware = 0 | 1

Specifies whether the touch device should react to display orientation changes.

If the value is 1, touch positions reported by the touch device are rotated whenever the display orientation changes.

If the value is 0, touch positions reported by the touch device are immune to display orientation changes.

The default value is 1 if the device is a touch screen, 0 otherwise.

Hello -

I recently purchased a Pine64 LTS, but it does not boot.  The green power light comes on, but that is it.  I have two others from the kickstarter campaign, and a third board for a research project.

Any ideas how going about getting as replacement?

Thanks
Harry

Hey,

I'm running Debian testing and and using Ayufan's PPA (kernel, video driver, gstreamer plug-in, mpp etc)
My desktop performs alright (Bugdie) Firefox Quantum is alright (firefox-esd is a dog)

Video's play ok via Parole (gstreamer) but web video (youtube el at) is unusable.

Is the video driver really this crappy or do I have something amiss?

Hello

First off, I wanted to say that I've tried searching for other threads, but ADB is not a good keyword on the boards (min. 4 characters...) and google didn't really bring up anything.

I have to use ADB (preferrably over network) to debug my apps on the Rock64.
I have tried seraching for it but nada, can't call ADB using terminal, I assume it's just not there.

Is there any way I could get it installed?
I am using the latest Android 7.1 stock booted from SD card.
Without it, I'm actually lost. I can't profile nor debug my apps, and I can see some sluggish mp4 playback, and I don't know why.

It's not only for that, android development without ADB is barely possible.

Thank you 
Krystian
