What a great device.  Very solid build, great community and a awesome price.  Battery life is just amazing.  But, it just doesn't match my needs.  I do NOT want to put it on the popular auction site because I'm not looking to make a buck off the supply constraints.  What I do want to do is offer it back to the community at my cost for someone who can truly add value and develop more software for this little gem.

I'm offering my January version Pinebook Pro, 64GB model with power supply and the optional NVMe adapter for $210.  Buyer pays shipping of choice (I can do USPS, FedEx or UPS).  I did take the back off once to look at how to install the NVMe adapter, but ultimately did not since I don't have a drive to put in it right now.  The way you install the adapter is to install the drive in the adapter and then install the adapter in the computer.  The adapter looks like the original one, but has the half-height NVMe retaining nut.  Pine64 assured me it would work in my laptop.

I'll have some pictures up tomorrow, maybe tonight if I can figure it out and have the time (my daughter's fish tank developed a crack today and I'm taking a break in doing a fish move - ugh!).  It doesn't have any real blemishes.  I've only had it for 2 months.  I'll need to clean off the fingerprints before I shoot it   Never been dropped or abused.

This is a great machine at a great price.  I'm just not a developer and am more of a mainstream kinda guy.  I want this to go to a community that will appreciate it and use it to make the community better.

once UT is installed on internal emmc, how can you access the sd card?

Seems like the battery discharges when the phone is off.
How do you prevent this?

A year ago, I bought a Rock64 with a 64GB FORESEE eMMC. The Rock64 works great, and I want to buy another one (or maybe RockPro64).

But I didn't like the experience with the eMMC, and I'm considering the options.

When I initially set it up, it caused tons of errors until I found somewhere to build the dtb with max-frequency decreased to 150000000. This resolved the issue, but left me a bit concerned. It looks like others had similar issues as well.

I was researching whether it was possible to use the odroid emmc module, and then I found that on the Rock64 Wiki it lists datasheets of eMMC modules from other vendors:

Quote:eMMC information:

• ...
  
• SanDisk eMMC Datasheet
  
• Hynix eMMC Datasheet
  
• Foresee eMMC Datasheet
  

I can never remember which keys disabled what. So I used our label printer to print out icons for a "patch panel" on 1/4" black on yellow vinyl. Since space is tight on 1/4" labels icons were used. The phone means microphone (also F10 is directly under the right mic) the triangle has what looks like a wifi signal for F11 and for F12 is a video camera icon for you guessed it the camera.

Next to the lights I made another "sticker" to let me know 2 blinks is enabled. Cause I can never remember that either.

Now I can't not remember! Sometimes my genius knows no bounds.

Overall Manjaro has worked fairly well. I was able to get printing working and sort out getting most of the KDE-PIM packages working. It seems to me those issues should be sorted out and working out of the box.

I have not been able to get Akregator working. It freezes up when I go to fetch feeds. And if I am using it inside Kontact, it freezes up Kontact as well. I have searched the web in general for solutions and used the Arch Wiki as well without finding anything relating to this problem.

If anyone has any ideas on a solution to get Akregator working in Manjaro for the Pinebook Pro I would appreciate some assistance.

thank you

I have a problem with the Rockpro64.
 
I have used a microSD with ARMBIAN like a OS (Kernel 4.4.213-rockchip64) , and the board work good.
But when I try to restart the os with the command reboot of Linux, the os shutdown but it doesn't boot.
 
I must necessarily turn  off and turn on  the electricity, but this is not possible remotely.



The board is connected to:
- an ATX power supply; 
- PCI-E controller whit 6-port (with n.3 hdd  + 1 ssd )
- RTC Battery CR2032

do you have any suggestions?

Hello community

I want use my Rock64 as TvHeadend.

What is the best image to do this?
I dont have experience with this.

I tried Libreelec, I seen to run unstable and slow, compared to my Odroid C2.
Android Images, I found only Android TV Images on download site, running Kodi even more slow.

So I stopped using the Rock64 for Kodi.

But I wrote that TvHeadend works well on Rock64.
I want to use it for IPTV and possible DVB S.

What is the most stable and fast Image to install/use TvHeadend?

Debian Stretch, Ubuntu or Libreelec?

I want to use it with Timeshift and recording on USB 3.0 HDD.
By the way, does the hardware allow transcoding?

I own a 64GB eMMC on a Rock64 v2.0

Thanks a lot for your help!!!

changes , When you swipe up , gives recent /missed , should make it easier when strapped to your dashboard

Using the latest BUSTER DEBIAN version available as of today, the LCD does not work. Only HDMI even after adding the line
pine64_lcd=on
in the proper file (/boot/armbianEnv.txt).
How can one make the LCD work with that OS?
