I've had a Rock64 since maybe June 2018. Getting video out of it initially was a problem because it didn't recognize my old monitor's EDID. Somebody on here walked me through using an EDID file, running update-initramfs and it worked fine.
Then winter came and the Rock64 was in an unheated basement so I didn't use it, but left it running. At one point I tried to do something on it and it wasn't working so I tried a new SD card with a fresh image (but didn't do the EDID stuff), that didn't work. This summer I used a Raspberry Pi down there then bought an Odroid N2, but I just found my Rock64 again. Didn't boot with the SD card in it, which had files from 2018. I salvaged some stuff from it and reloaded the SD with the latest stable Ayufan Debian. Tried at least part of the
stuff from somebody else's post but no luck. The red, green and white LEDs are on solid, no blinking. I do have a serial debug cable with USB plug but I've never used it, don't know how. I'm wondering why it quit in the first place and still doesn't work. It's almost like it got a power line spike but I have a decent surge suppressor on it.
I'm missing the Mali and wanted to do some OpenCL and maybe OpenGL ES stuff on it. The Odroid N2 doesn't have a proper XFree86 driver so there's no acceleration, just some OpenCL. I remember the Rock64 doing glxgears and es2gears at hundreds of FPS. Now I have a Pinebook Pro on order, wanted to practice, teach myself OpenGL ES.
