Hi All, this is my first post. 

I bought a Rock64 mainly to retroplay, I would like to know the how many gigabyte can handle Rock64, I mean can I buy a 128gb sd card? Or am I limited to 64gb? 

If you also suggest me a good sd card (I am not a expert at all) it would be really appreciate!

Best regards,

Danielsan

is it possible to use usb OTG port as usb device? with special cable or solder work? If yes, how?

Hello everyone,

I am not sure if this is software related problem or is just my Rock64's micro-sd controller that is defective. I tried different micro-sd cards and they all perform really badly.


The following results were made with DietPi_v156_Rock64-arm64-(Stretch).img

Could someone perform some tests on their Rock64 using dd with my same options that I used and share their results?

I would love to understand if the problem are the Rock64's Linux distros not yet optimized or is my Rock64's micro-sd controller that is defective.

Thank you in advance.

Waiting for one to order since I found the project. Don't want 14" version, need something smaller. Any news about when it's available?

Hello.
Some keyboard of my PINEBOOK 11" has become unusable.
There is no reaction even in xev comand.
You can enter via USB keyboard.

Even if you plug or unplug the MAINBOARD keyboard cable, the symptoms will not change.

There is `PINEBOOK 14" BOTTOM CASE WITH KEYBOARD AND TOUCHPAD BUILD IN ' in Pinebook Spare Parts, but is there handling of `PINEBOOK 11" BOTTOM CASE' ?

Or have there any other means of repair?

Hello I have rock64 running Android OS. I bought the following usb wifi dongle from pine64 store. 

https://www.pine64.org/?product=rock64-u...au-adapter

How do I get working on android please? I connected but it doesn't do anything. Do I need to configure wifi settings? If so can someone please tell me what settings to configure and how to do it? Thank you.

Hello,

I Bought 64GB eMMC and USB ADAPTER FOR EMMC MODULE from pine64 and nothing happens when I connect it to computer, if I connect only the reader without eMMC then a light is turned on and computer detects the device.

Tested on diferents computers.

Can the memory be broken or maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Thank you.

I pushed quite recent u-boot with sunxi and apritzel patches that allows to enable SD/eMMC/USB/PXE booting of SoPine.

This new u-boot can also be put on SPI to allow booting without SD/eMMC.

You can find sources and releases here: https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/bootloa...d/releases.

On page of PINE A54-LTS https://www.pine64.org/?product=pine-a64-lts I see only photos of the board, no any technical specs. For example, can I know what all these pins and sockets do? What can I connect to it?

Hello,

If anyone is interested I made an arch linux image for rock64 with a 4.15-rc8 kernel and a btrfs root:

Sorry for the large compressed size, the actual disk image size is small


Cons:

I assume it's headless
If you use the usb3.0 port and plan to use a hub it might be best to have it plugged in on bootup and never removed
