Hello there!

I am new to single board computers,
I am wondering how to setup the Pine64

I have flashed Windows IoT to a 32gb class 10 microSD card, and I have attached the HDMI, Power Cable, and a mouse and keyboard
I have searched but nothing of the sort shows up 

Any help?

Hello,
  I would like to use UART on ROCKPro64 for bi-directional communication with Arduino Pro Mini.
According to documentation, UART4 TX, RX are connected to Pi-2 connector pins 19 and 21.
But there is no relevant device file - /dev/ttyS4. I can see only /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS2. I do not want to use these two, because they are already intended for Bluetooth and console.
How could I enable /dev/ttyS4 in my Linux system?
I am using rockpro64-debian-desktop-mrfixit-191226. ‘uname -a’ shows:
Linux Debian-Desktop 4.4.207 #1 SMP Fri Dec 27 11:35:59 EST 2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux  
Thanks in advance!

Not sure if I should post here or in general,  I bought the braveheart edition understanding full well the implications of what it meant,  I have been trying for almost 2 months to see if it was a software stack issue but alas I think I just got a phone which has a design flaw and am curious if anyone else has had the issue or knows a solution.  I can boot various distros installed on sd or emmc I've rebuilt software from scratch(with an arch linux on arm build I'm currently running)  I haven't messed with u-boot too much as I don't know it very well and don't want to brick the device(not sure if that's possible anyway).  But my screen's graphics no matter what system, even from day 1 with the testing system on it, just keep stuttering up and down, the touch screen works, but it really makes this device more or less a pineboard since I could never use that as a daily phone.  So is this a common issue that other users have come across and know how to fix?  I see they just added you can order parts(when they are in stock)so would anyone know which part needs replacing?  Is it something I can fix myself?  Or is the phone just bunked and I have to buy another when the next generation is released?  Also if it is a software issue with configuration I am up for trying anything cause I want it to work but I'm starting to accept this might be a lemon.  Any help or confirmation of my conclusion would be appreciated.

tricky getting past the install stage, screen goes dark ,and off ,several presses of the on/off will sometimes bring it back, risky setting a lock code ,screen changes before you get the code entered.
 but the general operation ,is very smooth ,and i would say improved a lot.
i did not put a sim in it.
if not for the screen blacking out and jumpy unlock screen , looks almost like a daily driver, (assuming the modem/phone works)
.
anyone else try it.?

< tried two downloads, the second seemed a little better, but still had something going on >

Games can be launched from command line but emulationstation crashes on load (x connection broken error) and the virtual keyboard map is pretty random. Anyway, here's a blurrycam video showing it in action.

I like the idea of the pine book pro but was looking for something a bit different. I though it could be called computer 64 abbreviated to C-64  . Anyways the concept would be similar to the pinebook pro but rather a mini arm computer for use with linix or BSD though I am thinking alot of Arch Arm Linux using the Arch Packman to native arm compile tarballs. Now as for the project aspect of the board would be to use for open source projects for things such as making a wifi router or a Media server or Media TV box etc with the supportive hardware to do so. That would require things such as multi connect for wifi board and ethernet switches. Also hard drive supports etc. The basis of the idea is that native arm programs run very well on Arm hardware but suck at running X86 on arm. With Arch the packages could be compiled for arm.

tl;dr: Does a Pine64 eMMC writer work with a non-Pine64 eMMC module?


I just purchased an eMMC module for my Odroid C2 and a USB2.0 eMMC writer from Ameridroid:

https://ameridroid.com/products/emmc-mod...ux-red-box
https://ameridroid.com/products/usb-2-0-...ule-writer

Nowhere in that listing does it state the writer is Pine64, but the packaging it arrives in is thusly branded.
The module works. It ships with a Hardkernel build of Ubuntu 18.04 on it, and my C2 can boot it OK.
I tried asking Ameridroid if they had any hints to make this work, but all I got back was "you can RMA it, but if it's working there will be a 25% restock fee".

So my question is: Are these parts even compatible? I thought eMMC was fairly standard, especially since the connector fits.

Hello,

I am trying to build a system based on buildroot for the Rock64. It appears that the Ethernet driver is not insmod

# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
ipv6                  425984 16 [permanent]

Could someone please help me with reference from other distributions that has a working ethernet driver source & the init.d scripts that load all the kernel modules for the Rock64.

Thanks,
-Michael.

Hey folks,
What does it mean when the red charge indicator on the side of the PBP is blinking?

Because the batterie auf my PP was 'grown' after one week using I have contacted the support. After a long conversion / discussion I have bought a new one from Amazon as the support ream has told me:

----------------------However, you may purchase the replacement battery from any online market(Amazon) which is same model with Samsung J7(2015).


---------------------
But the J7 batterie is more than 1mm bigger as the original one. Now I'm still can't use my PinePhone.

What a bad support !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
