I found: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=16312 which links to https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/quartz64/ from there, there are a number of relatively recent disk images for Quartz64 model A boards. I am able to get just about any of them functioning; e.g. burned to emmc or sd, and the board is able to boot. The two issues that I have noticed are:
+ The board is an 8GB mem board, but for some of the images, it appears to the system to only have 2GB
+ General performance for any of the images is abysmal
From balbes150's images: using, Armbian_22.11.0-trunk_Quartz64a_sid_current_5.19.17.img.xz, GeekBench produces...
--> https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/19280197
Even forcing the board to run at max Mhz (1800), the performance is still the same.
Has anyone else seen similar performance issues and incorrect memory being reported?
Thanks in advance for the help...
Following up on my own post. I chatted with a few Pine64 folks on Discord, and they agreed that the benchmark numbers are reasonable for the Q64a and the memory issues maybe because of u-boot that Armbian uses.
