Community Build DietPi [ROCK64] [v156] [microSD boot]

Just got my pinebook two days ago.To get my feet wet with modding I decided to start small and do a simple case mod. I have access to a laser cutter at work, so I tried engraving a light pattern on the lid. There were a few problems with alignment but I think it turned out pretty neat.


Next up I would like to design a replacement for the small companion pcb in the pinebook. The plan is to keep the original functionality while adding a small FPGA either a Spartan 3A or an ice40. This way I can have some fast reconfigurable IOs with a USB bus to the SOC. Does anyone know if the layout for a small board is available somewhere?

Hi All,
 I'm a newbie and can use some help. Are there any on/off or reset switches for Playbox Enclosure Case?
 I got a little note saying a on/off switch was sent as a bonus but I can't find it, and I don't know how I would be able to do anything.

  What I ordered along with the board was the 7inch touchscreen and the lithium battery. The battery seems to be charging when I plug it's charger in (at least a red LED can be seen inside the case, but it stays on even after I unplug the charger).

 I need to solve how I'll be able to turn this off and on.  (I'll deal with installing OS next )

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.....Tom

Hi All,
 I've been a registered member of this forum since May 2016 and after waiting much too long for the Pine64 White enclosure, I am now ready to assemble it. I can't find any assembly instructions for that enclosure. I purchased just about every accessory including the touchscreen, battery WiFi and Bluetooth.

 Any help I can get is really appreciated.

Thank you.........Tom

SOLVED----Found the PDF for this enclosure and asssembled it. On to the software

Hi, do you think the soon future Windows 10 Cloud for ARM will run on Pinebook? General discussion, thoughts, YES/NOs...

Hello,
I have a problem with my pine64: I used the image xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20161218-1.img or the image debian base to make me a server because I do not need GUI.
when I restart every time after an update (sudo reboot), I end up with a black screen (no signal).
I think the pine64 does not have bootloading.

while if i use debian mate i can do as much sudo reboot i still have the login.

Hello,

I asked PINEBOOK Team in July, answer: "The 11.6" Pinebook are currently out of stocks and estimated to be unavailable within six months." 

 Any further information is very welcome.

Cheers, Adrian



btw: what is the best way to search the forum for 11.6" pinebook

Hi People!

After 30 minutes (or a bit more) of system boot Mate freezes, only mouse moves but no function.

But if I enter via ssh and execute reboot it works (after reboot of course).

S.O. = MATE 1.12.1
Release 16.04.3 LTS (Xenial Xerus) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 4.4.77-rockchip-ayufan-136 aarch64

Is this a known issue?

Thanks

Hi People!

I have 2 usb dongles for WiFi, but none of them are working in Rock64.

First one is a TP-Link WN721N uses AR9271 chip and is not accepted.

The second is a DLink DWA-123 uses RTL8188EU driver and is not accepted.
I think this is the same used in the dongle sold originaly by Pine site.

I running a Rock64 board with 2 Rb of Ram.

S.O. = MATE 1.12.1
Release 16.04.3 LTS (Xenial Xerus) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 4.4.77-rockchip-ayufan-136 aarch64

Running ifconfig only lo and eth0 are shown.

Running iwconfig only lo and eth0 are shown.
