I'm curious (yes, I know I could make another SD , and I just might) if anyone using the Debian or Ubuntu builds has tried out Anbox-arm64 yet?

I tried messing with some pkgbuilds in Manjaro to get the correct android.img to download, but hit an error, closed it out, and promptly forgot what happened. :/
I have snapd installed, but the wifi just crapped out (connected, but with ? in the icon for each connect I try.) If I have time tonight, I'm going to try to install the snap. I figured I'd reach out here and see if anyone got this idea in their head and whether the succeeded or failed, and potentially why.

HDMI doesn't work with any Kernel except the Kernel 4.4 from Rockchip (it also doesn't work with xorg) i tried out all kernel configs from rockchip and ayufan always same error:

I boot with extlinux.conf: The kernel starts only without console bootparameter: When i insert console=tty0 as boot paramter the kernel dont start.

Does anyone know what the problem could be.
Thank you in advance for your help

Good points, I think (I'm not going to cancel my Brave Heart order, though)

Hi folks.  I'll tell yoos about my experience and goals for my Rock64 1GB.

First I installed Archlinux ARM per their wiki.   15 mins I was up and ssh'ed in.    SSH freezes. gah   off to googling.
Not a happy start.  Saw a thread here on it that has no solution.   Found out to install ethtool and turn off TX.   Fixed I hope.

I then setup a sdcard to flash my SPI with ayufan's tool.    Installed Arch to a 2.5" hdd and hey  it booted from usb3....but it freezes.
Moved usb cable to usb2 port...seems ok.   Need answers on this usb3 issue.   I've read it's a problem.   I use sdcard for now.

Here's where I'm working now:   Installed X on both Manjaro and Arch arm.  Only fbdev works which I hear is about all most want or try to get working.   I want gles2 for qt5-gles so I can install and run KDE Plasma DE on both X and wayland.

Problems:  I've tried to install and build from source mesa-git mesa-arm-git  and they won't even build.   I suppose I dont have the chops yet to get a aarch64 toolchain installed correctly on the r64.  I see pkgs in the arm repo's but no how-to's on the net yet.


So if anyone has the above DE working with hardware accelerated gpu for the Mali-450 I'd like to work with you or hear your steps.   It involves  getting these parts all working.    mainline 5.4.x kernel options right for this board/gpu  that being lima driver and lima drm.    X pkgs like libdrm  mesa-20-git etc and then qt5 built for gles.   gles=OpenGL-ES  I think.

So far I'm not very impressed but I'm willing to work the bugs out of this board and dev the gpu some because it's cheap and powerful but a challenge.     If I wanted plug and play kde I'd have bought a pricier board.   

Cheers, tomarm

Been away from the PBP for a few weeks.

Did the latest update to the Debian standard OS. Now, no sound.

Tried everything, but it's simply gone. Think I've had some sort of failure?

Also, I'm becoming less thrilled with micro SD slot. Too difficult to install and remove the card, PLUS my SanDisk 64GB card has failed... Could it be the card reader?

Thanks! :-)

Good afternoon my friends. I've had my Pinebook Pro for about as long as anyone now, and noticed some minor damage to the right hand side below the USB port. Mind you, I'm not complaining or requesting anything as this is so minimal and unimportant, but I wanted to check to see if anyone else had run into this. It seems like the plastic here might be too thin to stand up to normal use. For the most part my Pinebook Pro stays either on my desk to safely tucked into my laptop case. There are no loose items in the bag and it hasn't been dropped/knocked/etc. Honestly this could have been there from the start, but today is the first time I've noticed. I did have some trouble plugging a USB stick into this port the other day, but didn't really give it much thought. I wonder if reinforcing these would be practical?  XD

Thanks for any input folks,

I feel foolish for asking, but the MicroSD card won't stay in inserted.  There's no "click" and it doesn't stay inserted.  While it's manually held, I can see it's recognized as /dev/mmcblk0p1.   What obvious thing am I missing?

I just want to reflash the emmc with a distro that works.

Is the Pinebook Pro going to be the same in the next batch or are you going to change/improve something?

Has anyone tried installing Peppermint 10 OS? What other OS have you tried with the Pinebook Pro? What issues have you had?

I am trying to use the stock mrfixit kernel and modules with a Void Linux rootfs and wifi firmware. Whenever I try to use the wifi, I get "RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted". Additionally, trying `iw wlan0 set power_save off` gives me "input/output err (-5)".
 What options do I have here? Should I just try using the tsys mainline kernel? Should I try the tsys firmware? https://gitlab.manjaro.org/tsys/pinebook...aster/brcm
