To make it stronger competitor to others?

Now it is weaker in comparing to Asus TinkerBoard. Especially from Mali performance perspective. I mean better CPU architecture gives piko gain over RK3288 of Tinker, yet it is worth to note that Rock64 is driven by 1.3GHz CPU while Tinker - 1.8GHz. But Rock64 wins by supporting USB3, however is almost 2x slower when using advanced OpenCV algorithms.

Hi, 

I wonder if someone can help me with this one: in the past I used a Raspberry Pi to run via the GPIOs a stepper motor. That required updating of the /boot/config.txt file (on the RPi) as follows:

Enable i2c, i2s and spi (only if not already enabled)

$ echo "dtparam=i2c_arm=on" >> /boot/config.txt

$ echo "dtparam=i2s=on" >> /boot/config.txt

$ echo "dtparam=spi=on" >> /boot/config.txt

$ echo "dtoverlay=pps-gpio,gpiopin=24" >> /boot/config.txt

I have not found in the boot directory of the Rock64 anything similar, and do not know whether required.

In this Forum I came across this thread on 

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5331 which refers to a package RPi.GPIO-PineA64 package to configure the GPIOs. Is this something I should do to enable I2C, I2s and SPI?

Would really appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance, 

Helge

Hi everyone 

This is my first post on this forum. I am a brand new user of the ROCK64 4GB SBC. 

Few days ago I have received my order.

Hi, i have been trying for months to compile UAE4arm for the pinebook, as FS-UAE is so slow.

can anyone compile this?

thanks

Would someone kindly link the Rock64 firmware update page for me please? I had it but it has disappeared from my computer.
Thanks very much,
Mike   

Hi All,

I have 2 brand new rock64's 2GB. they arrived a week ago. Overall very impressed compared to my old raspberry pi.

I have installed and done a basic linux / armhf config using ayufan-rock64 (jessie-omv-armhf). Everything working fine and i'm using brand new SD cards.

I setup the second board exactly the same - again using a brand new SD card. All fine for a while then i noticed occasional issues with the OMV web interface restarting. looked at the syslog and i see the board has done a reboot cycle. there is no load on the board just restart without any user intervention. Happens every few hours but no pattern.

Thought it was an installation issue so started over but same issue. 

Now i am using the same SD card and swapping between the 2 boards using same network cable and power supply.  I can can firm the issue only happens on one of the two boards.

Nothing in the logs that I can find but I'm not an expert...

Can anyone help or is this a support issue for Pine 64?

Hello there !

After trying to have the same easy-use tiny board as I had with a rpi2 on openelec (that mean andoid smartphone remote, samba shares of ext.Hdd, airplay like etc.....),

I finally found some apps that work great on atv 7.1 build for rock 64 :

 - If you want a smartphone remote , install cetusplay remote on your smartphone and cetusplay server on the rock 64.
Combined to "launch on boot" app it do the job perfectly (even the mouse pad somtimes make the mouse disappear but nothing dramatic - you just have to click on it one more time)


 - if you want to access to the sd card or a external hhdd connected to the rock64, I recommand you airdroid app (the app should installed on both devices : the rock64 and the pc/mac/linux).
Very easy to use and ollow any type of transfers in both directions.

I hope this will help someones make their dream card board.


The last think I don't reach to make it working is to stream the sound of my android phone to the rock64 (my Rock64 is connected by cable to my theatre hi-fi)

Hi ,

My understanding is that EMS shipments should take about 7 - 15 days.  I'm well outside that and I normally see packages hit Chicago (or another city) and go through customs.   I sent a reply to the sales address which sent me the tracking info with no response.   Am I being impatient, or does it seem like this package is really slow or lost?
