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.

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.

https://www.pine64.org/?product=rock64-poe-splitter

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!
