Hi everyone,

As a real noobie I have install android tv on my rock64 card board; I'm using it principaly to run KODI (might not be the smartest way to do it but that was my way).
It works almost perfectly but I am facing some problems:
- the board turns off when turning the TV in sleeping mode: is there a way to deactivate on android tv specifically the ANYNET+? what is weird is that the board turn off and on with the official IR remote that work, but I can't awake the board once off by the tv remote.
Any solutions?
- android tv is running very well but it isn't constant. Sometimes it is slow (more than 3 minutes) to fast to start and in that case it is running then slow ; I'm suspecting my RJ45 plug/connection (it connected to the network through a cable)
did someone have had any problem with the onboard plug? 
- Backup(ing) my PC computer: what would be the simpliest way (using android tv) to back my PC on hard disk plugged to the ROCK64?
- last but not least: chromecast is integrated to android tv, is there a way to cast from my phone to the ROCK64 if the connection is done via a RJ45 wire?

I have checked on the different thread and I haven't found the answer, but I might haven't look well

thank for reading this message,

Okay. So I don't (yet?) have any of the rk3399 SBCs but this might make me think again:

https://www.icydock.com/goods.php?id=293  <-- IcyDock fits 8x 2.5" SSD bays into 1x 5.25" HDD/Optical bay.

It's just begging to have a RockPro with SATA-card bolted to it.

I've made a build for Openwrt https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/2945 and I can't make the sound work (analog or hdmi), can someone verify if is something that I'm missing ? or maybe kernel 5.4 doesn't support this ?

The UART on my rock64 (using PINs 6, 8 and 10) stopped working after attaching it quite many times. Eventually I might have shortened something and damaged the board? Anyways, besides that the board itself seems to work fine. The same serial console is working with a rockpro64 so I am quite sure that it's a hardware issue (to be double-sure, I will try to double-check with a different rock64 from a collegue).

Anyways, is there any alternative UART that can be used? And what approach can you recommend to locate the fault?

Hi everyone,

@manawyrm and I have built a small adapter PCB that replaces the NVMe adapter with an Intel Wifi 6 card. WiFi feels a lot snappier using an Intel AX200 card compared to the onboard Broadcom SDIO WiFi. Maximum WiFi download speed is of course increased, too. With this adapter it is easily possible to reach upwards of 600 Mbit/s transfer rate.

This is how the adapter looks when installed in the Pinebook Pro:

Hello,
Just a small post to report some success with a cheap 4-port SATA card on the Rockpro64

https://www.amazon.ca/Ziyituod-Controlle...5WRVNV0WZ8

It works with Ayufans 0.9.14 minimal, and with StretchOMV (Stretch) - with armhf variants.
All ports work. For testing I have a 4Tb Seagate, and 2 x 3Tb Seagate in RAID5. There is also a 2Tb drive not in the array.
(Card mode switch is set to AHCI boot)
For individual disks, under Debian using hdparm -Tt /dev/sdX, I was getting >100mb/s.

I will update when the array has finished syncing.

hdparm -Tt /dev/md0 
/dev/md0:
 Timing cached reads:   2026 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1013.04 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 830 MB in  3.01 seconds = 275.87 MB/sec

Not bad for a little SBC.


Thanks,
Andy

Hello,


i can't start my PinePhone. I can't charge battery via USB-C too.
I have make current measurement on USB-C and they says: 5V/0.09A 

Have anyone the same problem? What i can do?

Thank you.

I still run OOB Debian on my emmc and I believe it's the most recent which is from late December. The issue I'm having wasnt always there but I'm noticing that after a reboot or logout/login the Bluetooth icon works once. So say I pair a new bt mouse I would click the icon again to get to connected devices and select the gold star to make it a trusted device, that's where the problem occurs. After that first pairing when I click on Bluetooth it thinks for a bit then closes out no longer able to access bt settings. The search feature is not existent on mobile devices so I apologise if this is already a thread. Does anyone have the same problem and knows if a thread that covers this or some insight on this issue. Thank you.

I have already searched for this in the forums, but can't seem to find an answer:
How do I change the language in Ayufan's Bionic LXDE?
I have already run a

I've seen several threads that has mentioned that the kill switches are a bit hard to reach and awkward to use in a smooth way. At the same time I understand that it is an added complexity in the manufacturing process to make them external.

My suggestion.

As a user I can in principle not verify that the kill switches work but have to trust the hardware manufacturer. So I wonder if it would be possible to instead have a LED solution that can show if the HW is disabled, these LED's can be assembled in a way that software can not turn them on/off without also impact the power mgmt to these components.

The good things with this is that it can make it possible to use software switches instead which can be very easy and convenient.

The drawback is of course that there would be need for extra hardware drivers specifically for this device, but maybe it can be worked into some sort of standard.

There are many details to figure out here. For example it is important that the software can not control when the LEDs are turned on at all, so either they are constantly lit or there is one external test button that can be used to check the state to ensure that the software can not turn on/off only before showing the LED state.

Just wanted to share the idea.
