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

Daniele

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.

On a bored Saturday afternoon I decided to give Ubuntu Unity a try, since I hear so much about people successfully running KDE on this beauty.

sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop unity

Verdict so far - not bad! I wasn't expecting anything brilliant, and was pleasantly surprised to see that while it struggles with UI elements, actual operation works pretty damn well.

Problems I've encountered:
* Takes a long long time to transition from login to desktop environment.
* Need to disable Ubuntu mouse adjustments, otherwise you literally cannot use the touchpad.
* HUD doesn't seem to work.
* Opening Dash takes a while, and animations are sluggish.

But it's all worth it for that beautiful, streamlined and seamless experience offered by Unity 7. Gives me a chance to make the most of it before it's fully deprecated!

With this guide, you can also change lightdm to Ubuntu style.

I'm trying to build my own u-boot to experiment with booting off the network (via u-boot on SPI flash).  I've modified the rock64-rk3328_defconfig to enable a few more options (using ayufan's branch: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-u-boot).  However, I think I'm missing a config option or a make target somewhere.  I'm not ending up with an spl directory after the build completes.  http://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Boot_option references spl/u-boot-spl.bin, but I don't have a u-boot-spl.bin file anywhere.

Build command: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- rock64-rk3328_defconfig all
I've attached the output from make as well as my modified defconfig.

Downloaded Ubuntu from https://www.pine64.org/?page_id=7141
Wrote the image to microSD card. Verified that the rootfs and boot partitions are written correctly, by mounting and reading it.

Connected power, HDMI and keyboard.
Two LEDs on the board turn green(one LED on baseboard, another on SOPine main board), but nothing at all on the HDMI output.
Connected a USB keyboard but it didn't get any power from the board. Verified that keyboard is good on another computer.

It is powered by a 5V 2000mA output.

Hey, so when I got my Pinebook, for some reason I can’t do anything with it. I have a SD card with a image and everything but when I plug it in to a AC adapter, it just blinks the power light and nothing happens. Please help

Will the RTC be available in the December 12, 2017 Rock64 release?

Current Pine64 is doing home automation and want to migrate automation to the Rock64 (4Gb/eMMC/RTC).

Turned old RPi's in to automation slaves (the collective) for the Pine64. 

Will the Rock64 run Ubuntu 64 bit Kodi 4K mode?  (not interested in Android)

Current KODI boxes here are Aopen digital power hungry engines running Ubuntu 64bit mode (which do 4K just fine but want a smaller footprint).

Hi All, 

I bought my Pine64 before release but have neglected it since so in need of some help. I am after some initial pointers and tips as I aim to build a Hybrid RC car. 

Any advice would be useful, software to use, potential issues, anything and everything... open chat. I'm comfortable uploading and booting software but something like this is me jumping in at the deep end so looking for a bit of direction. 

Many thanks,
