Does anyone know if the Pine64 is on the list of the supported ARM CPU's reportedly supported in the upcoming Windows 10 release?

I tried to compile https://github.com/rockchip-linux/gstreamer-rockchip but failed. Anyone know how to ?

Greetings,

I've been working on a Pinebook case mod which will safely expose the serial console slider switch on the main board without dismantling the Pinebook every time;  that was getting old fast-- ten tiny little screws ( its a miracle I have lost none of them yet ) !

   

The pic above is the slider switch;  look to the upper left of the pic and you'll see the pencil marks for the proposed dremel styrene work. The switch is in from the side 1.1 - 1.7 cm  and down from the back 8.1 - 8.2 cm.

   

I chose a 1.0mm carbonide cutting wheel for the dremel tool; do this from the underneath side cause it makes one dandy mess, but it cleans up nicely with a sharp modeling knife and a nail file.  Tip:  practice on another piece of styrene first ;  dremels take some getting used to.

   

This is the case opening after cleanup;  there is still ample protection, things will stay out of there, but the switch may be accessed easily.

   

Final pic is my high intensity 9 LED flashlight illuminating the slider switch inside the Pinebook case.  I use a simple slider switch access tool (toothpic) and voilà  !

I know snapchat despises anything but 'real' ™ factory default phones so will it work with this or not?

I would like to get one of these sbcs for mobile programming work instead of buying a smartphone since they don't have the government surveillance crap hardwired into them like phones do but if I need to run snapchat and if it wouldn't work then I would have to maybe get over my paranoid delusions and buy a normal phone for this work .

So has anyone run snapchat successfully on it or not?

About My Rock64 occurred kernel panic.

I bought four Rock64 board.
2 of 4GB model,2 of 2GB model.
Other 3 boards works well.
One of 4GB model occurrd this problem every time.
Im using newest xenial-minimum and xenial-mate on MicroSD.
Power supply to GPIO 5V and GND by iPad Pro's 5V 2.4A charger.
But other 3 board work well under same MicroSD,OS image,charger.
So I think comatibility problem(or initial failure?)

movie:xenial minimum on microSD

I know how to fix this problem.
Sorry my bad english and Thank you forum member 

OK, I'm  sure there is something I'm not doing right, but the RTC has me stumped. I use the access point in the upper right of the Mate desktop to set the RTC to use my time zone and report time in 12, instead of 24 hour format. I do this as a user with Admin privileges. And the clock changes appropriately...until the next boot, whereupon I see that it has forgotten the settings and has gone back to defaults. The menus are very explicit about setting the system clock options. So what have I missed?

This is for those less familiar with Linux, or running Linux from an SD card.
When you flash Ubuntu Xenial onto an SD card, the root filesystem size is only big enough to fit the operating system.
This is intentional; to keep the size of the image file as small as possible, making it quicker to download and flash to any size SD card (within reason).
After flashing the sd card and booting up for the first time, log in and do the following to expand the root filesystem by following these instructions.
There's a lot of code below, but the whole process took me less than 2 minutes, and you should be able to safely accept the default response to all prompts.

1. Fix the partition table to reflect the size of the SD card:

Greetings,

The Rock64 often will not boot-up with a serial console connected to the console uart pins (6, 8, & 10).

Symptom:  lights come on, nothing happens at all.

Solution:  unplug the Tx line coming in on pin(10) prior to applying power for boot-up.

Nice install of Q4OS to microSD and transferred to the Pinebook internal drive. 

What is the proper procedure to log into Wireless? (I see 2 connections: waan0 and waan1)
Will the miniHDMI work?

Thanks, Stew

Hi everyone =) I just made first version of CAD drawings of Rock64, heights of chips are not precise for making multi chip heatsinks, but I'll fix it during next week, maybe with all-in-one masive AL heatsink...  

ver. 1  - All possible files available on my github ( https://github.com/TeaPackCZ/Rock64_drawings ) more info at Full description ver 1
ver. 2  - Added DAC board and pictures of models, more info at More info about ver. 2
