Anyone got GPIO binding working without running openHAB as root?
My hardware level tested and confirmed  working by running python scripts, but no luck getting it to work  under openHAB.

Hi All.

I am new to pinebook and was wandering if there is a way to add/access a SPI port on the Pinebook.

If I need to do a hack in some way that will be fine.

Any advice please.

Regards

Brian

I start to think that we reach the point where 0.6.x should become a Release branch and deprecate the 0.5.x.

What are your thoughts on this? Does it work OK? What kind of problems you face? If you have any of them, can you create and describe that in the issue here: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/issues.

Hi,

I pushed yet another variant of my builds. The latest one `xenial-containers` is a container ready image that has:
Docker Community Edition / Docker Compose / Kubernetes Admin tools.

It allows you to easily play in single-node setups with just Docker Engine, as well as multi-node setups using either Docker Swarm or Kubernetes Engine.

These images have tools preinstalled so simply follow the generally available tutorials for configuring `docker swarm` and `kubeadm init`.

As for GUI for Docker the best is portainer.io. It will work well on these images: https://portainer.io/. There is an ARM64 binary that you have to install!

Let me know what you think about this variant. Keep in mind that since this is ARM32/ARM64 it will only run these images! It will not run AMD64 which is a majority of the internet for Docker. It is possible to run AMD64 on Rock64 via qemu-static with preloaded binaries, but... it will be terribly slow and believe me you don't want to do it.

I'm also working on bringing RancherOS for PXE booting. It works already, but it is still not pre-release ready. It will be ideal for centrally managed (NFS?) setups with a lot of Rocks/or-SoPines.

As always, latest pre-release is here: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/releases!

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.
