Hi all,

I'm just testing a few linux builds on my new rock64.

The ayufan all have rock64/rock64 as default user but I want to login as root. How can I do this?

Many thanks

Good news everyone. We got a stall at FOSDEM 2018 which is taking place on the 3rd and 4th of February 2018 in Brussels.
If you are already attending or live in the vicinity of the AW building. We will be showing off existing and upcoming products. And yes, there will be beer and swag ...

Did someone manage to disable Serial Console to free up the UART for other another purpose?

I am a new member and want to change OS's on my Pine64 LTS. I have Android 6.0 flashed to my eMMC module and want to update to Android 7.0 that I have loaded onto a micro SD card from the Pine 64 Installer GitHub webpage. Is this possible to do and what would be the procedure?

The 6.0 version was my first install, and the GitHub flash from the micro SD accommodated the whole transfer process to the eMMC module automatically.

Last item...I am still experimenting with all the possibilities and am wondering if there are any downsides to this update? Android 6.0 is working perfectly.

Hi All,

I'm having issues getting the AXP803 to complete its BC Detection routine. Basically it hangs because the BC_status bit in Register 2C never changes from 1 to 0, indicating the detection is complete.

On the Pine A64, the USB data connections (D+ and D-) are connected to both the AXP803 (DP and DM) and the A64 (USB0). I'm concerned that the connections to the A64 is affecting the BC Detection routine.

Do either the AXP803 or A64 need to be configured a certain way while running this routine? There are a lot of control registers in the AXP803, but the documentation isn't very clear.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Phillip

OK, I suppose I have a setting problem somewhere, but I don't see it. My Pinebook running Ubuntu (up to date) is doing something weird with file timestamps. I noticed it when copying files to and from another computer running Win10.

Here are the symptoms:

I created a text file on my PB, saved it, and copied it to a USB drive. PB tells me the timestamp on the USB copy matches the file on the PB, and both are what you would expect for a file just created and saved - close to PB system time reported. Then I moved the thumb drive to my HP and inspected the file. Windows Explorer tells me the timestamp is 8 hours into the future! Then I edited the file and saved it under another name on the HP and copied back to the thumb drive. Both the copy on my HP and the USB drive agree with each other and properly reflect system clock. I move the drive back to the PB. Now PB tells me the new file reads 8 hours earlier than its system clock. System clocks on both machines report the same time and date.

Another clue to what is going on is any file edited on the PB and copied to a USB drive will cause my Win10 machine to claim there is a problem with the drive and wants me to authorize a scan to repair. If I tell it to do so, though it reports no problem found, something changes as I can remove and re-insert the drive and it doesn't cause a repeat of the warning - unless the PB modifies the file.

Is this a bug in Ubuntu? Is there some setting somewhere in Ubuntu that I need to change?

Hi to all.
I'm Daniele from Italy. I'm searching the ANDROID SBC board with a 2nd ethernet port (no wifi).
I read that the ROCK64 board has a 2nd port in the Pi-P5+BUS. Is it possible use this port with android? What should I do to use it?
I hope that someone can help me. Thanks

Hey guys,

I recently got a Rock64 with hopes of running LibreElec on it but there are too many issues with the build at the moment. I hope to eventually go back to Raybuntu's LibreElec build in the future when it is more stable, but for the time being it would be nice to have something that runs a little smoother. I only plan on using the Rock for Kodi.
  
I figure that Android is the most stable OS to install for Kodi, but idk how well it runs on Rock chip. As far as I know, in the past there were issues. Are there still issues with rock chip and Kodi on android?
  
My best guess would be that Android 7.1 would be the most stable, but if the ayufan Android TV build runs smooth for Kodi that might be a better option.
  
Any input on this would be greatly appreciated 

Edit: I should also add that with Kodi, I only plan on streaming content with 1080p being the max resolution. If any other information is needed, let me know.

Hi, 
I'm looking to set up a portable media box using the Community Android TV 7.1

Does anyone know what Wifi dongles are supported out of the box? Preferably ones that support 5GHZ or Dual Band.
I'm trying to avoid waiting another month for shipping from Pine.
