Received Rock64 the other day found some time to mess with it.
So finding there are some tools to add that I would like, just the same I decided to proceed without them, i.e. serial port setup, etc. Hesitated a bit since I had not done one of these before, didn't want to hose it up beyond repair first time around. But.. did anyway.
Loaded bionic. Boots fine, do not have a working monitor on it, got to find the right combo. I am logged in and updating bionic as I speak.
I have not pinpointed, but am investigating as I observe. There is no apparent reason for it, do not know if it specifically has been mentioned, but ethernet is show RX errors, I noticed right off the bat. Superficially, it should not have errors, i.e. a fairly new cable from Wally-World (it is one of those flat ones), but technically between my router and the rock64, the cable is the only thing. Except for low level OS drivers... in ubuntu. I am pretty confident in my network in house, as I am 4 TV cord cutter as well as internet... it is pretty solid. And running ubuntu 17.10 vm under windows on the same subnet same route, no RX errors.
I have not noticed anyone else mentioning that, but have noticed the mention of poor network I/O.
Been trying to setup qemu dev environment for this (not really much luck booting anything on it).
Will continue to observe, and inform as I progress.
