Hi.

So i have FibreChannel PCIe x8 card, and i am trying to make it work with my RP64.

Most distros woun't boot with this card inserted, but I have found that Armbian 4.4.192 and MrFixit's debian build 4.4.180 will sometimes boot, and detect the card!

But it happens 1 time out of 6, and i have no idea why. Also I can't understand why this distros can run this card, and others just hang.

Anyway here is two bootlogs: succesful and the one that fails to boot.

If somone knows what is going on - please look at this logs.

I have a Rock64 running Debian 10 buster with Home Assistant running in a Docker Container. It looks like the Rock64 goes into sleep mode and by moving it wakes up but has to re-load every thing. How do stop it from going into sleep mode since want the Home Assistant running all the time. When it goes into sleep or hibernate mode can not even log into to it using ssh. Is it the OS or is it the Rock64?

My PineTime came yesterday and when I got it up and running I noticed that trying to update the PineTime through IOS (my fiancée has an iphone 11) is nearly impossible I am stuck at the factory firmware and unable to set the time or date, it’s says January 1st 1970! Can someone please give me a small piece of advice I am a complete novice at this kind of stuff and don’t really have an idea what I am doing. Will I need to get someone with an android phone to set the time and date for me?

I need 4 UARTs, to use board as controller for home automatization: 1 - ZeegBee, 1 - GSM, 1 - RS485, 1 - M-bus. But in documentation, there are only 2 gpio uarts enabled for user. I wouldn't like to use external usb converters, this interfaces should be located on my expansion board, connected to the rock64 by GPIOs. Is there any solutions to solve my problem?

This is just my experience and opinion. I uninstalled Dolphin file manager and I am using a manger called "Files" and my computer is running faster and is much more stable. The reasons of course could be many including operator error. Peace all.

Apparently Manjaro ARM 20.10 was released recently, but how do I update to this version?
There are no available updates in the add software app, and Manjaro is providing the images, so do I need to reinstall the OS on the eMMC?
What's the fastest way to proceed with the update?

Thank you

It's been released recently and with it an official image for raspberry pi 4 which is an arm device. Unfortunately I lack the knowledge to try and port/build myself but curious on opinions on how hard it would be to make a build for the pbp? Would this be useless at all https://launchpad.net/cubic

I'm sure the answer is no!

Hi, I need 4 Uarts from GPIO headers. Is there any solutions to solve my problem?

Recently I've been having a problem with the rubber feet coming off the bottom.

The worst ones are the ones on the back side (nearer to the screen). They have the habit of sliding around on the underside if the laptop is pushed. Or even worse, coming off in the bag and getting potentially lost. And if the feet are not in the proper place the laptop will wobble around and of course the glue is sticky as well.

I'm asking if anyone else has had the same issue and what did you do? I'm thinking that there could be replacement feet or some adhesive that can glue them back more securely.

Were you guys able to setup full disk encryption on the default Manjaro OS?
I've seen a couple of tutorials requiring super involved procedure with some external drives etc.

Is anyone aware of a simpler approach? Or if not encryption the whole drive then at least creating a veracrypt style repo of one partition?

Thanks
