  1. For a few Weeks i have little problem with my Nano Pi M4. Whenever I boot up it says: "Loading, please wait...starting version 237" and then i have to wait . Finally it boots up, but there were times this SBC was booting really fast. Is there something i could do, to speed up booting again? Regards
  2. So Armbian Devs are not wvery interested in Rockpro. @TonyMac32 explained why. One more reason to kickoff Rockpro. why not, if you want to change a 3Gb Model B and you are living in the EU (apart from the UK) lets talk about it.
  3. @martinayotte, i do not have any reboot issues on my pineh64 A running OMV ,PIhole and Logitechmediaserver on it without any problems.
  4. Totally agree to this. @chwe, think you never had a Rockpro in your hands. So Devs can concentrate on the Boards that are worth to be supported.
  5. @chwei think you understood what i wanted to say: Everywhere on Armbian Rk3399 devices are marked as WIP , only on the build-system we will find them under "stable". I can only compare the Rockpro64 to my Nanopi M4 an my NEO4 and I must say at this moment Rockpros performance is worse. Developement on Rockpro is done by ayufan and mrfixit, both not active members on this forum, posting Issues here does not make make much sense. There are lot crashing reports on Pines IRC channel. I would not only move this Board back to the "Expert" Side, i think i would kick it completely out of Armbian, so bad performing issues are not being related to Armbian, like it was done by @AxelFoley
  6. Using Rockpro64 for Desktop Scenarios is a really bad idea at this state of development. There is no distro i would recommend for using , i have tried ayufans images, the one from mrfixit and armbian. There is a big lack of developement for this board and i really do not know why it is moved to "stable" on Armbians build system. My Nanopi M4 is running really stable and smooth; acts as Desktop replacemanent since I got the SATA Hat. There are absolutely no crashes running Chromium on armbian, so i think that there are no chromium related issues. I suspect bad hardware design on RockPro.
  7. There must be two connections to the SSD of course, power and sata (there are cables for both connections). If everthing is allright, there must be a green and a red LED turned on. Is your SSD formatted? If not use Gparted to get it formatted.
  8. Armbian is based on friendlyelecs Kernel. It does support the Hat ootb; works perfectly for me.

    @dogshome For real speaker measurements, get yourself a calibrated Microphone like the MiniDSP UMIK and use RoomEQWizard as Software. Too fool yourself just go ahead taking measurements with your mobile.

    I have just received my SATA HAT, it is recognized and working on Armbian out of the Box (4.4.176-rk3399).

    Sound seems to be a Problem on RK3399 Chips at the Moment. I got the Rockpro and the M4 , HDMI Sound is only working on 2 Channels, SPDIF is not working at all (did work on an early Kernel from ayufan for Rockpro) Sound on GPIO I2S is not working.. I think there are Driver Problems that are only solved when Rockchip is working on them.
  12.

  13. From my point of view, the RockPro is a poor performer at the Moment. The Rk3399 is not new, it is available for over two years now. There are TVBoxes and Chromebooks working with it, but on Rockpro it is not possible to run a minimal Server with BSP Kernel idle without crashing. Even Overvoltage does not bring more stability. Regarding the resistor, that has to be removed to get PCIe partially running, I doubt that there are only Software Issues have to be resolved to get this Board running. Perhaps there is a reason why competitors boards are more expensive. I did not expect to see this board running fully supported after a few weeks, but i did not expect such instability, even not in the beginning. Keeping in mind ayufans comments, that some things are working on prerelease boards, i wonder why the guys at Pine64 changed so many hardwaredetails for the boards that were going on sale. For now i would not recommend to buy this board, the board is on early stage of development, not only the software.
