Jide decided to stop supporting the Remix Mini and Remix OS to focus on the commercial market. However, there are a lot of users who still own a Remix Mini, like myself (two actually), but I would like to run different OS builds. I've looked into the CPU and it the H64 which is an A64 with a few upgrades. The WiFi chip and the Power Management modules are the same. So, is there anyone who may be able to build a bootable SD Card image for it? It currently boots off of the eMMC module. I would be happy to do some testing with it. Or if someone could point me in a very good direction on building one myself.

Apparently this is a well-kept, widely-known secret that I managed to find quite by accident: When Android 7.1 (Android 7.1 Community Image [v0.3.10-r66]) boots the first time it will ask you to update the superuser apps binary. DO NOT DO THIS. If you do update the binary, the board will NOT boot again. It will sit at the "bouncing balls" splash screen forever! The superuser app CAN be updated in the Play Store without a problem. Why this information is nowhere to be found on the downloads page is beyond me.

Hi,

I intend to use the Rock64 as a multi-purpose server handling VPN, LDAP authentication, internal DNS, etc. and I'd really like to LUKS encrypt the emmc. I'm familiar with the process using Grub2 as a boot loader but U-Boot is throwing me some curves.

Has anyone undertaken a project like this?

First off the onboard adaptor was working fine but now....

After swapping in a new emmc 64gb and loading in the latest release image of mate from here
https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-build/releases

The bluetooth adaptor is not being fired up let alone found and I can't "see" it anywhere in /dev

I did put in a usb BT adaptor I have and it is discovered and connected but the onboard BT adaptor is AWOL.

Is this a kernal driver issue or other lower level issue?    I suppose there is an outside chance I buggered it when replacing the emmc.

So given that the usb BT works fine it's not BT software.

bluetoothctl does not even show the adaptor present.

Some advice please on how to track this down

If the on board bt is run through the usb bus I don't see it there.
Is this a "bug" in trying to run this latest image??

I cannot get sound working on this install.
Anyone got some problem solving tips on how to fix this?
I am running the default firefox browser.

I just want to share my experiences with Docker on Rock64.

I'm running DietPi on Rock64, so I've build Docker aarch64:

Hi all,

I have a rock64 ordered and I'm waiting for delivery... Looking forward to getting involved with this community.

My current setup is a Mac mini running plex server with a raspberry pi with OMV. I use the RPi for tinkering and a download/file/VPN server. 

I'm planning a similar setup when I get the rock64 but I also wanted to see how well it works as a plex / media server. I'm thinking about using docker to run all of the media server related stuff in containers.

As I will be using OMV, I was hoping I could setup docker within OMV on the rock64 and then configure the media server in docker containers.

Possible? good idea? other suggestions?

Hi guys,
i have just swapped my pine 64 over to ubuntu xenial and the MATE desktop enviropnment, instead of android 7 and now sound isnt working.

Sound was working with android

What is the procedure to fix this?

Hello,

I would like to broadcast the television audio signal. 
Then, is it possible to use an external audio signal in Rock64? 
Also, is it possible that this audio streaming is available for a program running on Rock64?

Thanks.

What do you use your Pinebook for?  Is it to satisfy your curiosity for running different distributions of Linux or Android on a desktop.  Is it your Daily Driver?  Do you just use it take it to class and write notes?  Do you just want to have something you can brag about spending around $100 USD and actually works?  What software do you use daily?

Me?
I'm starting to use this as a daily driver for the light stuff.  I do most my personal computing sitting on the bed because that is the quietest room in the house but I'm not allowed to have a desk in that room.  Firing up the Pinebook with no cables is a lot easier than plugging in my new 17 inch gaming laptop.  No cables means I can move things around without worrying about dragging something off to the floor.  If I want to do something seriously power hungry like Second Life or Rocket League I will put up with the cables but for my daily activities this Pinebook is fine.

I use it for most of my web browsing.  I play an online web game and there are a few publicly available extensions for Chrome I use.  Since these extensions aren't available in the Chrome Store I have to delete and re-add the extensions on my Gaming laptop.  Chromium doesn't have the Chrome Store requirement so firing up the Pinebook to play my game is a lot faster.
I use the original Ubuntu MATE desktop.  I know they say there are other desktops that are faster but after recently retiring a 5 year old Windows 10 laptop this desktop works great.
I have started doing some of my Genealogical research using the PineBook and have GRAMPS installed.  It works just fine on this 16GB EMMC powered arm processor.  I can even print my worksheets on the wireless HP printer downstairs.
I just loaded GNUCASH.  I'm going to try and keep the checkbook balanced and GNUCASH works just fine so far.  I'll try connecting to the bank using OFX tonight but the QIF file I downloaded the other night loaded just fine.
I'm playing with some Programming utilities like GLADE and GEANY.  My programming project isn't terribly large right now and this tiny processor has no problems.

The only problems I have with MATE right now is trying to resize windows.  The window borders are really fine lines and trying to grab it to extend one edge of the window takes a lot of patience.  I should just maximize each window on it's own screen and just switch between desktops.
