Dear, 

My Pinebook have been arrived, but cannot be charged.
Whenever I plug the A/C adapter, it doesn't work, and my Pinebook battery is decreased again and again.

The main reason is , I use it in China, but I have requested an EU Standard AC Adapter, 
Model : EE-0530-E
INPUT 100-240V ~ 50/60 Hz 0.5A
OUTPUT: 5v 3000mA 

Can anybody help me , what else should I buy? Can anybody give a taobao.com link , in order that I can have a new A/C Adapter to charge my Pinebook battery?

Thank you.
Best Regards,
Gavin

Together with Rock64/1GB board, I have bought the USB serial console as listed on Pine/Rock64 site. Booting the board with the community build of 'xenial-i3-rock64-0.5.10-118-arm64.img'. On a linux workstation, using minicom (1500000 8N1 | NOR | Minicom 2.7 | VT102 | Offline | ttyUSB0), I can interact with the board check the following excerpts:
root@rock64:~# uname -a
Linux rock64 4.4.77-rockchip-ayufan-118 #1 SMP Thu Sep 14 21:59:24 UTC 2017 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
root@rock64:~#



The issue is: it is highly unstable meaning if I run the same following command:
root@rock64:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo

multiple times, gives different outputs for each run (as shown below)!! Is this a common problem? is it hardware or software related?
appreciated your help on this matter.

Controlling the rock64 via Putty - SSH

When first connecting:
apt update
apt upgrade
Then I change /etc/hostname and in /etc/hosts I add my fixed public IP with the hostname from /etc/hostname.

I then do:
apt remove --purge network-manager
make sure resolvconf is not installed
then:
rm /etc/resolv.conf
then make a new resolv.conf:
nano resolv.conf adding my 2 nameservers IP addresses and save.

then (I want to have complete control of the IP of the rock64 with no odd interference from other files/scripts that I don't know about):
systemctl disable dhcpcd
systemctl enable networking (in order to get back to the "oldfashioned way")

then:
nano /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0 (I use only the wired rock64 LAN port)
I enter:

allow-hotplug eth0
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
     address XX.XX.XX.XX
     netmask XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
     gateway XX.XX.XX.XX
     
The IP addr and mask are not on the same network as my local network.
It is created as a 2nd static IPv4 route on the router (fritzbox 7490) with 5 fixed IP addresses. I am not able to add the external IP and MAC as it is not on the same network as the fritzbox.

I then reboot the rock64.
When looking at the network connections tab in the fritzbox I don't see the rock64 (with it's new hostname and external IP) - tried several reboots of the rock64 and the router.

FYI when I do all this from a Rpi, Bpi, odroid or olimex I always see each of them on the fritzbox, with their hostname and external IP.

What can/could cause the missing fritzbox entry from the rock64?
It puzzles me and is annoying, as I need to create port permissions for the rock64 through the fritzbox from outside.

Hi
I am new to the community and I have purchased ROCK64 a day back. I want to test it'c capability of 4K play back. Can you please let me know the software that can be used in Rock64 to play 4K video?

yes, you read that right, Mark. Microsoft Edge browser is now for android,

no doubt one of the last fateful spasms of the death throes.

Hey there,

i just wondered about the Communications.....

I ordered a Rock64 4GB with a bit of other stuff on Monday, 9th (#52700) and i get no informations about a shipping date oder something like that.

Can anybody tell me, whats the expected time for shipping to Germany?

Thanks in advance,

Ben

I've an spi driver that runs on a pi3, writing (and reading from) 32 bit packets at nominally 42 megabaud, to a mesa 7i90HD cnc interfacing card, and reading back at 25 megabaud. But its full of code that checks to make sure its running on a pi. It also has an include file that describes the bcm2835 for all its offsets etc. I can excise the pi checks, but what else do I need to do to make it run on the rock64?  The spi port used is nominally the SPI1 address in the pi scheme of things.


Thanks & Cheers

TL;DR:  Ayufans latest eMMC-Mate-image. Strange errors in dmesg. See snippet below. Need help interpreting.

----------------

Hi! After some weeks of using my rock64 as bookshelf decoration, I'm finally starting to tinker with it.

At first, I hit some smaller bumps like using the official Mate image and loosing USB power after login.

Now I'm using ayufans latest eMMC Mate image. Installation to the eMMC module was super unproblematic. First reboot worked fine. Did some basic first login stuff (keyboard-layout, password, ...), and issued a reboot command. System tried to start, but delivered a black screen with a blinking cursor. I let it sit like this for about fifteen minutes ("just let it work. who knows, what's going on inside"), then I did a hard reset. System started to graphical login prompt. Typed in password, login box vanished, and that was it. Again fifteen minutes, this time only with the blue rock64 background. 
I grew a bit concerned, but after another hard reset, the system bootet up and everything was fine. And since this last reset it's been stable and useful: No more freezes, quick boot and login, USB power and ethernet woking fine, all looking bright and shiny. 
 
Then I made the error and issued the dmesg command. You know, just out of curiosity. Not that I could understand what it tells me. Just wanted to see what's going on. 
And there I saw them: Errors. Colored brightly red, lots of errors about mmcblk0.
 
Small snippet of dmesg output:

• Googling the "dwmmc [...] Unexpected command timeout [...]" line did not bring up any results.
  
• Googling the "error -115" line also did not yield useful hints (or I did not recognise them as such)
  
• Googling the "error -110" line was to some extent successful:
  

• When idling, usually no further errors occur. When doing stuff (opening programs, ...), errors continue.
  
• The amount of errors is random. I even had one completly error-free boot.
  
• In dmesg-output, at ~305 sec runtime, I get three EXT4-fs entries, telling about number of errors since last fsck.
  
• Only the "-110" error is colored red, the "-115" is not. (Maybe less dangerous?)
  

i can tell you it's dead ... :

What i don't know : will my eMMC also be dead ?
