Just in case you want it immediately, I'm selling mine now. New complete working set. Msg me

Hi,

I'm looking at buying a large portable HDD.  There is a WD 3TB USB elements portable that looks ideal.  I've been reading about USB 3 performance on the rock64 and how there is a JM chipset that gives best performance.

I wanted to ask other users what suggestions / experiences they have with USB 3 drives and throughput / reliability before buying a drive.

My rock64 will be an always on box and a NAS.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I just received my Pine64-LTS version with 64GB eMMC. I am having major issues trying to boot from the emmc.
I have tried the following 

Downloaded the images from 
https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-build/releases

mainly 

jessie-minimal-pine64-0.7.19-118.img.xz and xenial-minimal-pine64-bspkernel-0.7.19-118.img.xz

1. I then wrote the image to SD card and booted the Pine, which is fine.
2. Followed the instruction to 

sudo ./pine64_update_kernel.sh 0.7.19
sudo ./pine64_update_uboot.sh 0.7.19
sudo ./pine64_update_package.sh 0.7.19

3. executed sudo ./pine64_install........to_emmc.sh xenial-minimal 0.7.19

4. Tried setting the following
emmc_compat=on
emmc_compat=150mhz
emmc_compat=200mhz

5. removed the SD
6 booted with eMMC

I get nothing.

Does the boot take very long as compared to SD (i have left it for few hours)? I get nothing.
I have also tried to burn the above image directly to the emmc without any luck.

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks
Sailesh

Hello,
It´s the first time that I use a eMMC module, and I have one question. I have bought the USB adapter for eMMC module (https://www.pine64.org/?product=usb-adap...mmc-module), and I have tested that is possible to flash images to the USB with the eMMC module. My question is if it's possible to flash an image direcly to the USB and the connect the eMMC module to the ROCK64 to boot, or if it's necesary to do the process with the sdcard and the jumper. if not, what is the reason?

Thank you in advance,
Gregorio Martinez.

hi, i'm considering using my rock64 as a nextcloud server, only thing i'm not sure of is how much trust i should put into community built operating systems as it would be the first time using such. and i just don't want my partially very sensitive data sent to someone else while i don't know of such things. thanks for your much appreciated help.

Our rock64 is affected by Meltdown and Spectre?

Hey Guys, 

Im sure I am goofing up something, but I m not sure.....
I have a a64-db-2g rev bb
date 2016-03-21

I have downloaded the a couple different Android 7.1 images (both Sopine and non-sopine) and both will start teh boot process, show the android 4 dots, and then the screen will stay awake but nothing happens...

I have read some forum posts stating you might need to comment out a resolution, if I understood the posts correctly this is in the uenv.txt file... I looked and it looks like all resolutions are commented out. 

I am connecting to a TV that supports hdmi 1080p60 TV

Am I downloading the wrong image, is there something else I am doing wrong?

Hello. I would like to now if is possible to have on Rock 64 (4gb) 5.1 output in movies (Dolby, DTS or AC3 pass trough) on a regular 5.1  audio system only with RCA inputs (like Creative). I am having in mind two solutions. Install Android on the board and:

1.add the extension   and use an additionally device like this conected with optical cable.
2.use this device and transmit the audio via HDMI and after to the speakers.


Is it feasible? If yes which will be better?
