Hello comunity,

I have a rock64-4G under Debian stretch that I would like to use it as a normal computer.
The only problem that I find is the slow play of the >=h264 videos (through VLC).

I've seen how other smaller boards like cubbieboard 2 handle these videos from debian without problem, so I guess in rock64 it should work better.

I think the problem ist in the acceleration driver for the mali GPU, which I think the board has.

It seems that the sources are here:

https://github.com/rockchip-linux/libmal...hip/debian
or here
https://github.com/rock64-linux/libmali/...hip/debian

But I have not idea how to procced... how compile/install

Someone so kind to help me?

Thanks in advance. Regards everyone

Thanks in advance.

I've been unsuccessful booting the Android TV Images.  I've tried using the pine64 installer as well as using win32 disk imager.  In each case, I see the Pine64 logo, then the android logo, but it doesn't seem to do anything. past that.

Hello,

My 1st post here on the pine64 forums.

ayufan Thanks for your work creating images!

I have a rock64 2GB running ayufan's 0.6.10 xenial minimal on a 16GB emmc. I'm using it as a router between my ISP and LAN. It's been running for 6 days without issue. I would like to convert the root filesystem to BTRFS so I can make a snapshot before upgrading to a newer version. Is anybody running BTRFS on their root filesystem, and is it stable?

Thanks.

I had posted a thread recently requesting assistance to get ayufan Linux configured to support analog (sound) audio from the internal 3.5 mm A/V (headphone) jack. There were apparently a number of Rock64 users interested in this discussion, but there were no respondents offering any suggestions.  

Since then, I came across an excellent document detailing alsa configuration that lead me to implement the following solution in that I can now obtain audio from the Rock64's 3.5 mm headphone jack.

sudo nano /etc/asound.conf

defaults.ctl.card 1
defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.pcm.device 0

(Control-X to save file)

Note that this configuration has only been tested on stretch-minimal-rock64-0.6.15-175-arm64 but should work on all current ayufan images.  It does not add a volume control to alsamixer, so you'll have to do additional configuration if your application requires a volume control.

Downloaded the code. But I  am unaware of processor configuration to be used in Lunch command.  Can any one provide me Git hub link for source code (Android 7.1). I downloaded the zip file. But it seems something is missing or I am using wrong architecture.

Hi,

I release a lot of different stuff and sometimes I struggle with writing a documentation for all the stuff, like:
1. What each variant does contain?
2. How to rescue / recover?
3. How to write eMMC / boot from USB?
4. How to write SPI flash with u-boot?
5. ...

Would anyone be interested in helping and be an active contributor to https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...er/recipes section?

I know that a lot of people would value such contribution as it seems that this images are quite widely used

Anyone got GPIO binding working without running openHAB as root?
My hardware level tested and confirmed  working by running python scripts, but no luck getting it to work  under openHAB.

Hi All.

I am new to pinebook and was wandering if there is a way to add/access a SPI port on the Pinebook.

If I need to do a hack in some way that will be fine.

Any advice please.

Regards

Brian

I start to think that we reach the point where 0.6.x should become a Release branch and deprecate the 0.5.x.

What are your thoughts on this? Does it work OK? What kind of problems you face? If you have any of them, can you create and describe that in the issue here: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/issues.

Hi,

I pushed yet another variant of my builds. The latest one `xenial-containers` is a container ready image that has:
Docker Community Edition / Docker Compose / Kubernetes Admin tools.

It allows you to easily play in single-node setups with just Docker Engine, as well as multi-node setups using either Docker Swarm or Kubernetes Engine.

These images have tools preinstalled so simply follow the generally available tutorials for configuring `docker swarm` and `kubeadm init`.

As for GUI for Docker the best is portainer.io. It will work well on these images: https://portainer.io/. There is an ARM64 binary that you have to install!

Let me know what you think about this variant. Keep in mind that since this is ARM32/ARM64 it will only run these images! It will not run AMD64 which is a majority of the internet for Docker. It is possible to run AMD64 on Rock64 via qemu-static with preloaded binaries, but... it will be terribly slow and believe me you don't want to do it.

I'm also working on bringing RancherOS for PXE booting. It works already, but it is still not pre-release ready. It will be ideal for centrally managed (NFS?) setups with a lot of Rocks/or-SoPines.

As always, latest pre-release is here: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/releases!
