I am looking to buy the ROCK64 board, as it seems a bang for the buck.
I do need to know 2 things:

Will I be able to get Moonlight embedded and NoMachine NX client working with mainline?

I'm going to be buying a Pinebook here soon, and I was curious if it's possible to run a custom OS I've written on it. Specifically, does the booting partition have to be FAT32, or does it allow for custom bootloaders and such?

Sorry if this isn't the correct section to post this.

found this while doing some research

Unfortunately, I have to write to the forum, since at the address sales@pine64.org I was probably ignored.
The order was sent on time 2017-11-17, but according to the current day 2018-01-11 its status does not change: In transit https://t.17track.net/ru?nums=LM047411278CN


Today is 55 days as the delivery goes. I'm not sure that I can get the long-awaited order. Can someone tell me what to do in this case? Were there such cases that people did not receive their parcels with microcomputers?

Hi
I bought one eMMC from pine64.org and it's my first time to use eMMC.
I'm not sure whether I'm doing wrong or this is broken.
What I've tried is,

1. using eMMC to microUSB adapter

I bought this. but doesn't work. my PC can't read it.
this video shows some SD card reader is not compatible with the adapter.
so maybe my one as well.




2. writing an Image to eMMC module according to this tutorial

I followed until step 6, but I can't see mmcblk0. only mmcblk1 shows up from 5-7 tries.
left block is a log when I followed the tutorial and right is a log I used sd card only.
I removed jumper before I type boot command.




How do you think?
Thank you :-)

LinuxKit is a awesome project, and I think for arm / arm64 community is great too.

Hi Guys 

Well I'm looking for a nice solution to use Pine64 as a small proxy server with linux.

Basically it needs to be to automatic proxy server, wich is plug n play after you connect it to internet and power, on.

2 Steps:
• Preconfigure Pine64 with light os & startupscript for proxy.
• Connect to router and power - done.

After that it should send me the login to the proxy to my preconfigurated email automatically.

Do you have an Idea to achieve that in the best way possible?

Please let me know and have a discussion.

Best regards

I am trying Ayufan's latest minimal xenial image for pine64
https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-build/releases

It is booting and I can ssh to the board.  All seems fine except I can't get the HDMI port to function.

It is connected to my standard monitor which supports 1080p

Here is the only defaults (comments) I changed.  I've fiddled some with these but nothing not even a hint of communication with my monitor (like a flicker).
I am assuming my issue is just getting these settings correct?  Are there maybe other things I must do to get HDMI working?

Hi gang.  I have the strangest problem and figured I'd see if any of you have experienced it.  I'm using the latest xenial mate image on a high quality sd card with plenty of power. 

For those of you who don't know this, chromium browser can be run with a -kiosk flag that fullscreens it and takes away the location bar. You can still close it with altf4, but otherwise you'd never know it's a browser. 

On this Rock64 image, right "out of the box", when you put it into kiosk mode and autolaunch, when it boots, it's hidden, and there is a tab of it down in the tray.  It's there, technically. You can grab it sometimes and move it, without being able to see it, and the computer is locked until you hit altf4 and close chromium. 

And get this, on two occasions, it didn't happen and it booted into chromium fine. 

It's like it can't render it, and this is the 4g model of the rock64. 

Debian mate doesn't do it.

Hello!

I'm trying to connect three 2.5" HDDs to the ROCK64 computer. To do this, I use an externally-powered USB 3.0 hub. The problem is that I'm receiving errors when trying to access two drives simultaneously.

I've used fio and dd utilities to access hard drives. The example command is "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=128k". When I'm reading from one drives, everything works well. When I'm reading from two drives in parallel, dd and fio utilities hang and ROCK64 disconnects hard drives.

Here are some samples of the errors occured. Each time I'm trying, the new error I receive
