I am using ayufan Debian Stretch.

The steps are enable armhf and install the package with sudo dpkg -i filename.deb

I am trying to change the username from rock64 to something more personal. 

I have searched this forum and ubuntu's and in general. I am also running Xenial-Mate latest stable from the wiki. Fresh install to microSD.

If it helps at all, I've created a temp user called temp. 

For reference, I've mainly followed this write up done on askubuntu.com.

So I have made sure to not be logged into rock64 user when running the

I'm posting this is Noobs since I am one to the Pine64 boards - although I've worked a bit with RaspPi. 

I'm curious about the usage and benefits of eMMC memory. My current task involves installing Android on a Pine64 512k board. This device will run a single app (voice to text), and my goal is to run this single app with as much performance as possible.

Questions:
- Can eMMC BE USED with the Pine64 512K - or is it only for the new MM boards?

- If so, I know eMMC is generally for storing video data with high speed. Can eMMC be used for...
  - The OS? (eg. as a replacement for the SDCard)?
  - As general data storage (eg. for app and app-database storage...but at a higher access speed)? 
  - As a replacement for RAM?

- Since one of the bennies of eMMC is the controller is integrated, and takes the load off the CPU. Would using it as OS or app data storage significantly improve the apps performance?

Thanks!

I need in new version scroller or torus analog switc for volume control. no only keys for example alt+30 decress right = 30% volume increase.
ctr+30 degres change brightes. etc. 

If i would like to play with tempes ;-) i can use it.

Keyboard and terminal mode is very important for programers, tex or other normal users. I learn unices from 30 yeasrs. Please give me back my normal keyboard.

Any chances of this will becoming Open source ?

｢carl9170.ko｣は、｢xenial-minimal-rock64-0.5.15-136-arm64.img.xz｣のどこにあるのですか?
もしくは、どうすれば、ビルドできるのでしょうか?

Where are "carl9170.ko" and "carl9170.fw" in "xenial-minimal-rock64-0.5.15-136-arm64.img.xz"?
Or, how can I build it?

I’m about to order my third SBC from Pine64, but at this point I really think as a repeat customer I should be able to get some sort of discount — even if it is free shipping.  So how about it?  Can I get the hoookup?  I’m not going to place an order without one.

Is there an archive of past community Rock64 Linux images?   Current releases of Ayufan seem to have incomplete audio support with no apparent way to direct audio output from the internal 3.5 mm headphone (A/V) jack.   There was a community SD card Linux image that I don't believe was Ayufan, that did support audio from the headphone jack dating back to the late October or November 2017 time frame.

Current Ayufan images do produce HDMI audio but nothing from the 3.5 mm A/V (headphone) jack.   I would appreciate any help with gaining access to back archives or help to configure audio on the headphone jack.

Thank you,

Hello,

I assume this is up-to-date: ROCK64_Schematic_v2.0_20170704.pdf

Is it true that the following "dedicated signals" could be re-purposed as regular IO as they only go the 40-pin header?

CLK32KOUT_M1
UART2_TX
UART2_RX


Also, why does SPI_CSN0_M2 appear on this header? It is dedicated as a chip select on SPI flash IC U1 (the GD25Q128CS).

Any use of this pin as either SPI or GPIO will cause U1 to drive the MISO pin (pin 21 on the 40 pin header).

Also, the graphic that shows the 40-pin header (ROCK64_Pi-2 _and_Pi_P5+_Bus.pdf) states the the SDMMC0_xxxx pins can be used as GPIO as long as no MicroSD is used.

How do these pins operate during boot? If they are intended to be used as GPIO by an application, the boot process may inadvertently cause a daughterboard to react because the application hasn't booted yet.

Any guidance would be appreciated.
