I just received my Rock64 and I thought I had also ordered a power adapter (UK), but I didn't and checking my order I didn't actually order one.  If I buy one through the store here then the shipping from China will cost more than the product itself. However I can't a single 3.5mm barrel charger (5V, 3A) in online in the UK, it seems to be a very strange type of power cable.

Does anyone have idea where to get one in the UK?

I have found some USB to 3.5mm barrel charger, so if I found a USB plug which is 5v 3A would that work?

Hi, all

Please let me ask a little.

I got Rock 64, but a problem has arisen.

- Start writing images to microsd. And restarting the file system breaks.
- Launch the image and freeze it when trying to edit the file with vi etc. It is possible to log in again from another terminal. However, when trying to output syslog again with vi or cat, it freeze.
Write -image and execute fsck etc. before booting but at this point the file system does not appear to be broken.
-microsd burned the image through SD card adapter and USB card reader against Samsung EVO 32GB and silicon power (class 10 UHS-1) 32GB, but both are the same.
- I tried the following method to bake an image, but it is the same.
 - Windows 10 / Etcher 1.12
 - Windows 10 / Win32 DiskImager 1.0
 - ubuntu / Etcher1.12
 - ubuntu / dd (sudo dd bs=1M conv=fsync if=OS.img of=/dev/sde)

The image I tried is as follows
 - Debian Stretch Minimal Linux Kernel ver 4.4 (0.4.16 / 0.4.17)
 - Xenial Minimal Linux Kernel ver 4.4 (0.4.16 / 0.4.17)
 - Xenial i3 Linux Kernel ver 4.4 (0.4.16 / 0.4.17)

Regarding the SD card adapter and the USB card reader, I burned images such as Pine 64 and Orange Pi, but there were no such problems.

In this case, should we suspect hardware (Rock 64)?


Best regards.

Hello,

I've got a Pine64 2GB from a friend, with the original USB power supply. I've flashed Linux onto a quality SD card using Etcher on Linux.

Pine64 boots fine, I can login with SSH and do all the things I want to do. I'm running headless.

If I run the update_uboot.sh script, then I can no longer boot headless. I've tested the Debian and Xenial Base images. I don't have a serial console, so I can't see if there are any boot messages. All I can tell is that I can no longer connect via SSH, and it doesn't appear in my router's list of connected devices. If I connect a monitor before powering up it boots just fine.

Earlier today nobe posted status matrices for the RK3328 (middle SoC in the matrix) in the IRC and I felt that it would be valuable to relay them on here. Included are: kernel 4.4 matrix, Mainline kernel matrix,  Linux SDK CHIP Status Matrix and Linux Funciton Status Matrix.

If your Pinebook arrived with a broken or cracked screen please tell us about your experience;  vote in the poll,  and be sure to mention in your post who the carrier was , DHL, other,  specifics etc;

Also, take a couple close-in pics;  post them if you like.  

Thanks

The factory could provide boot jumpers for the Rock64 board similar to the ones linked.


... the bag is $28.50 for 1,000 pcs;  that is just  2.9 ¢  per board !

Just received my Rock64. Is it possible to boot from USB hard drive?

For some reason the pine64 installer (on win7 32-bit) cannot recognise correctly the size of my sd card. It always shows 0.0 GB. The sd card (16GB micro sd hc class 1) works fine with all other devices and I formated it just before that.

Hello

I succesfully mount a Plex media Server on a PineA64

I use this instructions:

I like to configure the touchpad to be able to use two finger tap for middle click and three finger tap for right click.

So far I was only able to switch 2 finger tap from right click to middle click with
