I want to assemble some kind of tablet. The main electronic components of this tablet that I've bought or that I want to buy in the next future are the following :

1) soc = RockPro64 (Rockchip RK3399 hexa-core SoC) : already bought

2) this enclosure : (already bought)

https://ameridroid.com/products/pine64-p...eq=uniform

3) these batteries : https://www.ebay.com/itm/315203768497 ---> not yet bought

4) this display : https://www.waveshare.com/product/displa...onitor.htm (not yet bought)

Since I want to create a "tablet" that will be powered by FreeBSD,I need an USB display that does NOT requires any driver because I'm not a programmer. I will be not able to make the porting of a Linux driver to a FreeBSD.


1) I'm not sure if the display at point 4) is a good display for me because I don't understand if its size can match with the size of the enclosure at point 2.

2) I'm not sure if it can be powered by the USB port of the RockPro64 and it is ready to work

3) Eventually I want to reuse it for another device,so I don't want to be forced to use a special connector that will work only on the RockPro64 RK3399. I hope there isn't the needing to use a special connector / adapter that could even requires a driver.

That's all. If you think that the display suggested by me is not good,please explain to me why and suggest me another display that can work. Very thanks.]]>

I have a Rock64 that I was using to self-host some services (namely Nextcloud).

It was powered on 24/7 for the best part of 3 years. It was connected by my router by ethernet. The only other connection was an external hard drive - the HDD had its own power supply so wouldn't have a high draw from the R64.

Around a year and a half into service, the USB 3.0 port that had the HDD connected stopped working. No matter, I just plugged it into one of the USB 2.0 ports and didn't experience any loss in performance.

Now it seems the whole unit is suffering from something. The ethernet connection shows on my router and I can ping the box, but as soon as I try SSH I am disconnected. I can begin a HTTP request but Apache fails with an internal server error message. When I power it on and view the console output on a monitor, I can login using a keyboard and nothing seems amiss in the OS (Armbian).

That said, if I connect anything to USB after the unit is powered on, it immediately reboots.

Something isn't right here. I suspect power related, but I'm not sure. These problems came all at once.

Would appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks, RTG.]]>

I bought a fresh now rock64 along with the woodpecker USB to serial adapter. However, when I plug in the adapter to my computer in 3.3V, it is not recognized by the computer, and "dmesg" output remains silent, even though the led is lit. I tried multiple distros, kernel options and even Windows. The device just doesn't show up.

The adapter is correctly recognized in 5V mode, and the /dev/ttyUSB0 device gets created as expected. But apparently I should not use this mode to access my Rock64 console or I'll damage it.

What can I do ?

Thanks]]>

I do not have any idea what happen 

I have several rock64 but one of them look like is brick!!!

I think the problem is with spi u-boot (or something else?!)
I try with different sd-carts different images including erase and flash u-boot-spi 
Also I try to boot with shorting pins 25+23 or 25+21 and release after 2 -3 seconds after power is plugged .. this not help as well

I open a ticket to pine64 support .. they totally reject me .. short answer was .. check in the forum this is software issue they will help 

At power-on all 3 lights are on + yellow on ethernet port 
serial uart show .. nothing just from time to time no senses symbols (and yes I'm sure I use/connect correctly work with all other rock64 )  

My quick question's 

1. any idea 
2. is there a way to try somehow to reflash rock64 ?! (look like I cannot do that for SPI only)

I think the problem can be something else not in spi .. also power adapter is ok for sure

I do not want to RIP this rock64 in the garbage since the situation with the chips is still terrible and will be waste of chips    but if I do not have other options .. ]]>

sorry, just copied and modified the thread title.

How can I tell what the hardware version/revision of a rock64 is?

Running Linux. The Wiki has nothing, /proc has nothing, and even dmesg has nothing whatsoever.

Maybe if any hardware differences were known, the dmesg output could point to what hardware version/revision it is.

v1 vs v2 vs v3, or rev2, or rev3?

thanks]]>
