martinayotte Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Although I'm running my OPi4 as headless, so no desktop, I've tried two different HDMI monitors and both were working fine with my 5.5.0 image.
Pongotto Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 What I can't underestand is why the OPi4 is so different from OPi4B with the HDMI output.

Mine is OPi4 rev1.3 ... EDIT: maybe you mean RockPi4B ? EDIT2: With my RockPi4B, I've some flickerings but visible text on my Dell monitor, and with my HDMI 8in. LDC I've some worst flickerings without text displayed ! So, RockPi4B has HDMI troubles ...

I used two brand new micro SD card, one Samsung EVO Plus red 64 GB and one Lexar 633x 64 GB. All the two cards works with Orange Pi Ubuntu not with Armbian Ubuntu. With armbian my OPi4 works only via serial cable not via HDMI. ------ I add a new information: I installed Armbian on my eMMC but the no-HDMI-output problem persists.

haajee Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 My Orange Pi 4 arrives this week and i am now testing it. It''s a lot faster than the H6 and works ok! I hope, and if someone have a suggestion, there comes a case for this Orange Pi 4. I have btw the most basic version. No NPU and no internal flash. With my higher quality HDMI cable i got no display like i has on the OnePlus. Strange enough: when i plug a cheap hdmi cable in i got display. Maybe display works with HDMI 1.4 cable and not 2.0? A heatsink with a fan looks essential. I have broke a heatsink from a old Fritzbox 7490 and attached a fan to it. Now is it IDLE arround the 30 degrees and with full load arround the 45 When it boots it takes a really long time before i could get access via SSH or see something on HDMI. What is the system doing in that time?

What is the system doing in that time? I suspect you are using a mainline kernel (5.x) image. With those the U-Boot takes a long time to start on RK3399. I don't have the OPi4. But many other RK3399's. For most purposes the legacy images are best.

Now the OP4 doesn't boot. I'm out of office today, I was connected via VPN to my office LAN. I can't access via serial cable today, I will try in the next days and I will update you to understand what blocked the boot.

Jakob Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Since it's really hard to find any reviews on this board I figured I might ask here. So to those who own this board, is it working okay without any flaws in the hardware? I'm considering the basic non eMMC non NPU model.

Now im using theyr ubuntu (in the debian image the lan desnt work) on the emmc. Likely they are all using the rockchip provided bsp 4.4 kernel... I wonder why since it got mainline support in 5.3 ! Id like to use mainline maybe in a second stage... So what to do now ? @0626... no but there is a flat cable based pcie extension, like others rk3399, not sure what can u attach there... Is the sound working on your HDMI output?

Because the board is not long relesed and also chinese new year and the corona virus makes that delivery takes a lot more time. It works ok what i see now. But remember that Armbian is just work in progress for this board. If you stay on safe could you better buy a Rockpi 64 or something.
NicoD Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Should I review it? I didn't ask for one since I've got enough RK3399's, and I didn't think there be too much of a difference. I could try to source one. Cheers.
Jack953 Posted March 12, 2020 Author Posted March 12, 2020 Some requests: - with the last image 29/2 it take more than a minute to boot ! - audio doesnt seems to work at a first test. is it only me ? - pulse seems a bit too much for a sbc, by default... wasnt better simple alsa ? - why xfce and not lxde ? - I cant set a resolution (using settings) higher than 1080p, while using OP image I used 1440p pretty smooth... - even in power-save profile the cpu is hot!

I'm not really in a hurry as it will probably take a looong time to ship, to me it's just important that the hardware is OK since software can usually be fixed.

Oh, you mean the hardware fault in the H6 with result in a not working PCI-E port? I know to much about the details but readed on Facebook i thought that the PCI-E extension module worked. I got bluetooth not working. Wifi works. I want to try the GPIO pins but don't just know how to got it working.

You just can't know with these boards, but I bought one now, looking forward to trying it and hoping for the best.
haajee Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 I think for the price it´s a good board. A heatsink is a must btw.
gounthar Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 I have not yet managed to use Armbian on this board (does not boot for me), but I can confirm it is hot as hell without a heatsink (with the default Android image from OrangePi).
haajee Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 I run now a few days 20.02.3 stable with kernel 5.4.23 and the things i discover are: Bluetooth looks not to work (headless) APCUPSD do i not get to work. With an older kernel it works Cannnot switch to kernel 5.5.8. Get an error. In switch_kernel.log is to read: ´linux-image-dev-rockchip64=20.05.0-trunk.069 linux-dtb-dev-rockchip64=20.05.0-trunk.069 linux-u-boot-orangepi4-dev´. Dont know also what ´trunk.069´ means Maybe simple things to fix. But i learn a lot but i am really sure not a advanced linux user.
