My pinebook arrived today and I am very happy with its look and am happily running android 7.1 now. Still one thing that's bother me a lot is that the spacebar must be pushed exactly the center (around 1.5~2 cm) in order to have pinebook to register a keystroke. I used to place my thumb on the 1/3 of the left (and right) of the spacebar when I am typing, this is killing me that now every single spacebar I hit it's not taken by the pinebook.
Am I getting a defective pinebook or this is the usual case?
I don't know why I can only boot once. If I just unplug the power, I cannot boot the second time when I power it on.
I use a Linux image which is called stretch-minimal-rock64-0.4.16-83-arm64.

Actually, when I boot the board on the second time I have to unplug the HDIM wire and replug it into the board. I don't know it's a problem of my TV ( I use a TV) or it's a problem of the Linux image. Anyway if you meet the same problem just try what I said.
I also use ‘USB image tool’ to write the image. It works great.
What does work?
- eMMC and SD,
- GbE ethernet, 100M ethernet,
- PXE and USB booting via U-boot,
- SPI accessible from U-boot and Kernel,
- Power/standby leds,
- Power key,
- Persistent eth0 and eth1 address,
What does not?
- Everything else probably, like HDMI, Mali, cpu scaling.
Usage?
This is suitable for testing and headless use.
^^ This will only work when running on one of my images. It will not work with Official images.

Hello, I am trying to find or how to build a volumio image for the Rock64 4g with the added DAC addon board. I am currently using RPi 3 with HiFiBerry DAC running Volumio in my car for Very high end music competitions. I want to upgrade to the ROCK64 because of the speed and USB3 for faster read times on the attached 2TB SSD. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've installed the Android SDK using Android Studio (version 23.0.3 of the build-tools, since I use Android 6.0.1). When I use 'adb devices' to list the devices, it is not listed. But when I go to System Information to check if it's even detected, under Hardware > USB, nothing appears. So it seems that is not that 'adb' doesn't recognize the device, but the USB connection doesn't appear to be there; the computer doesn't detect it.
USB debugging is on, I've tried changing the USB mode between MTP and PTP, I've tried different USB ports from my laptop (if I connect my phone, Android too, it works in both), I've tried different USB cables, I've tried the different USB ports in the board (using Linux the USB ports work well, so I assume is something with Android, and not the board).
Could anyone help me? Should I use Android 5.1.1? Do I need to change some configuration, or install some app?
I am exploring my Rock64 and everything is currently going well. It happily boots up and the Ethernet connection works perfectly.
The one thing that is odd is that only the green light on the Ethernet connection is lit. It flashes periodically and I definitely have connectivity so things are working. It is odd because almost every Ethernet connection that I have seen in the past have a solid green light to show the connection and a flashing yellow one to show traffic. I do see that the Ethernet connector has a yellow light, but it is not lit. Is this normal?
Hi from Czech Republic, i am satisfied with my Pinebook 14", running original Linux MATE, however as I was changing slide bar of the screen brightness via touchpad, as i think there is no hardware shortcut like "Fn+something", i accidentally moved it to zero % and then manually switched off the Pinebook via long hold of the power button, so the screen is now after every log-in totally dark. I can run up Guest session, but once I log into my account, it becomes dark. External HDMI does not run (i never tested before, just tried now and TV says no signal). I know i can run up Terminal via shortcut CTRL+ALT+T, however what next then, step by step pls.? I tried to play with "xbacklight" advise in Guest session and also my account, but i am not sure i am doing the steps in correct synchronizations (blind typing, lack of Guest password knowledge, lack of knowledge if xbacklight is installed or not, etc.). Thx to experts to let me know fast!
