I went to order this today, and it was shown as sold out. If I knew it would, I'd have ordered sooner. Is there a waiting list I can get on? I'd like to get this one. the extra gig of RAM and dock would make me happy. If there's another similar edition with those elements, I'd be good with it as I am probably going to multiboot it anyway, but I'm getting that FOMO feeling and hope to alleviate it.

Thanks guys. Love the forum and community (and hardware, I'm looking to get probably several other devices shortly, just noticed this one was sold out. Will still probably get a few things)

Hello, I want to power my Rock64 and an External RAID enclosure (2 hard drives) with 1 single power supply.
The purpose is a DIY NAS project, I want to avoid multiple power cables.

- The Rock64 has an official adapter delivering 5V/3A.
- The RAID enclosure has an adapter delivering 5V/1.5A

I don't think the official Rock64 adapter can power both devices, so I would like to know what power supply should I buy (how much V and A) to avoid any risk of over/under voltage ?

Thank you very much for your kind help !

@tllim 
Will screen protectors please be available for the PineTab ?

I plan on purchasing a PineTab soon,

I would buy a screen protector now, 
   so whenever I do get my PineTab   > The screen will immediately be protected !

Thank you

I read Zorin OS is working on arm support,

I think that could be great for the Grand kids to run the Zorin Education OS on PineTab  !

Written for pre-school thru University students.

Would it be a good idea to explore creating a "micro server" similar to the FriendlyElec ZeroPi? What I've got in mind is a board with minimal RAM (probably 512 MB), Gigabit Ethernet, and (possibly) network boot. Users would primarily (or fully) interact with the board via SSH or similar. I've been researching lately on building a Beowulf cluster and the FriendlyElec board looks good, but it has its flaws and I thought that Pine64 might do a good job with this sort of thing.

This is more than likely a stupid idea, but please give your honest feedback on this idea (and don't be afraid to tell me that it's stupid).

Today August 21, 2020

I am just wondering how recent the release will be on this newest Community Edition phone.?

Things are changing in the software world almost hourly at this point.

The software may be installed to the main board days or weeks before the phone is shipped.

Does anyone know which release will be used ?

Hi,

Currently after having this nice hardware without a use, I am setting up a survillance system and later I will develop a own IP doorbell y using additional hardware like Arducam USB UVC models (ex. https://www.arducam.com/product/b0205-ar...h-ir-leds/).

Now, I would like to know if possible to make hardware acceleration to work with FFmpeg (since I am planning to use Motioneye or Shinobi) and booth uses FFmpeg for stream rtsp cameras (which is the type cameras I have). Without it, for example, Motioneye with 3 cameras takes like 300% of CPU and thats because: is using the CPU instead.

What specially settings do I need for FFmpeg compilation? (or any particular branch/repo/fork of FFmpeg, kernel, etc).
I already compiled FFmpeg along with --enable-rkmpp and related, and hwaccels methods: vdpau vaapi drm (but seems not acceleration for this GPU)


Thanks in advance.

Conclusion:  Still not ready.

Notes: So the call quality of the mic out was great. Was able to clearly hear response clearly. Good improvement on that side. 3G texting outbound did not work for me. 4G call just reported  "No Calls". All in all back on track, seems like there is some movement on functionality here.

why i can't check the shipping to my city?

Hi
WIll it be easy to deploy Qt software on pinetab? Just like one can do on a raspberry / regular opensuse/ubuntu desktop?
