greetings,
I have manged to build u-boot as per http://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_U-Boot . However, after burning the images to SD card, booting stops before starting my built version of u-boot, i.e., no u-boot prompt!
Serial console output below, also, further down build details.

Can anyone please shed light whats wrong in the process ?
thanks 
consoleadam

Had a working Android 7.1.2 eMMC. Not sure what I did to it but now it boots to the Recovery Menu but there's no keyboard or mouse response. Can't move to any selection in the menu. Reload the eMMC? Boot to an SD Card linux image and fix it from there somehow? Thanks for any tips.

I've seen mention that some have run Plex, but I can't figure out which image they are referring to.  Is it available?

1080p Mpeg 2 video playback is broken in latest Android firmware 0.3.6
It now plays with ffmpeg CPU instead of AMCodec(Mediacodec) hardware accelerated in Kodi 17/18 and use 100% CPU.

Eg. 720x480 DVD resolution videos look much smoother now using ffmpeg to play but 720p/1080p plays with skipped frames since it is not hardware accelerated.

Can it be changed so under 720x480(DVD) resolution mpeg 2 videos play with ffmpeg but the rest play with Mediacodec hardware accelerated?

Hello,

anyone else tried pcsx rearmed on ayfan's debian stretch image?

My experience so far is:

If I compile it on rock64 I get wether neon nor dynacrec support which leads to a working build that is way to slow.

Another approach was to build pcsx reamerd on a raspberry pi 3 and copy over the resulting build. Don't build with neon on raspy, too but at least with the very needed dynarec support. Copied the resulting build over to the rock64: Works and is fast enough thanx to dynarec. (Mulltiarch must be installed, to make it work this way).


One Problem remains:

I only get SDL-Window-Output. No fullscreen. Any ideas? 

BTW: Controller works too, tried a Steamcontroller with sc-controller.

I see that the store is out of DSI LCD screens.  This looks to be the same part
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product...64052.html


Has anyone used on of these on the pine?  If my understanding is correct this is the only DSI MIPI screen that we have a driver for?

Just wondering how you guys mount your board? I tried to use some of the screws left over from PC motherboards. They were often supplied with a million screws for this or that. Anyway my smallest screws would not fit the tiny ROCK64. Even the small brass nuts for offsetting a motherboard from its surrounding case would not fit. Dare I say it but - can we enlarge the hole a tiny bit? Or is this a big no-no. Looking for ideas on this.

I have had the laptop for over a month or so and my first impressions are: excellent for a ~$100 laptop! My 12 year old son claimed it as his and wanted to use it for his laptop next year at school. I had to pry it from his hands!

There are a few things that bother me, though, and a few software issues are well.

Hardware:
 The display/lid section is heavier than the keyboard section and is a bit difficult to open as the hinge needs to be stiff and lifts up with keyboard, so it takes two hands to open. I like the keyboard and actually feels nice, although the space bar seems flimsier than the rest of the keys.
Standby/suspend battery life is quite excellent. I had forgotten about it, and turned it on after a week or two, and still plenty of battery left.
It seems hardier than I had expected it to be.

Software:
Android - I didn't spend too much time with android here, other than to see that it ran and I could do a few things with it.
Linux - My biggest niggle is that I could not get bluetooth audio working. As in a bluetooth speaker. It would always just play through the speakers, which indicates a (hw)routing issue, which a way too quiet. Ok for a quiet room.
Some flickering of the display from time to time, but generally is ok.

I installed LXQT and am happy for the performance, noting that this is not a beefy developers laptop.

Building a mini arcade cabinet is probably not what most people use their Pine A64 boards for, but as it turns out the board + LCD are a great basis if you want to build a mini cabinet. I started on this project some 2 months ago and I have finally finished it over the weekend. It is vaguely inspired by Neo Geo cabinets but I took the creative liberty of using a Japanese Sanwa joystick instead of the american type joysticks. I also used buttons with white LEDs rather than multicoloured ones seen on real Neo Geo cabs. I also designed the art for it - so its hardly Neo Geo accurate... 

The inside is a total mess right now - I will tidy it up once I have all the software stuff worked out. 

On the subject of software, the cabinet will eventually run Retroarch on a minimal ubuntu image that pfeerick and I put together earlier this year. Right now the outstanding issue is getting the LCD to work with mali+drm enabled, but everything else works as intended. So as you can see in the picture above, right now its running android. 

I will be bringing it to FOSDEM 18 (granted we get a stall) so if you will be attending make sure to drop by toplay some Metal Slug X or Street Fighter 2. 
I must say I am pretty darn pleased with it Feel free to let me know what you think.

For those who want to see some pictures from the build they can be found here.

Loaded the Android 7.1 TV version and it performs well. Issues I have:

Google Playstore selections are incomplete -  I want to add a browser like Chrome and the Spectrum TV app and other apps.  SEARCH in Playstore does not have them.  How to add applications outside of the Playstore provided

Google Search prompts for speaking, but I don't have a microphone.  How to change default to typing in search?

How to shrink margins in display?


Thanks in advance!
