PINE64 Quartz64

[jeanrhum]

I haven't any pcie adaptor to connect an nvme module.

I tested the 4 usb ports and only 3 of them works to boot. When my usb key is plugged in the blue port, the system on emmc starts like nothing is plugged into the board.

 

I'm not sure what you want me to try with grub. I ran:

sudo update-grub

However, my usb keyboard is not working during uefi and grub steps (i tested 2 keyboards), whereas it works well under ubuntu from which I'm writing this post.

Let me know if I misunderstood something.

 

In  case it is relevant for you, here is the output of armbian-config -u: https://paste.armbian.com/ezamiyexic

Is this when starting with eMMC ? Which ports is the keyboard connected to ?

I tested again and from emmc and usb, the behavior is the same. White usb ports don't work before linux kernel is loaded. However, the blue and black one are working with grub and I only tested the white one.

 

I tried to press escape key during uefi screen but it does nothing and when I select UEFI settings in grub menu, it reboots, the UEFI screen appears and it comes back to grub even if I press escape key.

That's how it should be. While there is no startup interrupt mode (I haven't figured out how it works yet), you will be taken to the EFI menu atomically if there are problems with startup.

Version 20230307 with core 6.3-rc1 for Quartz64-A and Quartz64-B  and Soquartz
Fixed problem with the definition of RAM, now the full amount of RAM 8 GB is correctly determined.

 

Soquartz + Gnome + glmark2-wayland  showed more >500 units 

[balbes150]

Version 20230310 kernel 6.3-rc1. 
The launch from USB media has been restored. 
Quartz64-A has two USB 2.0 ports (left, upper and lower). 
Quartz64-B - the upper USB-2.0 port works.

[balbes150]

Ver 20230516-EDK2-EFI-current (6.2.15) and 20230519-EDK2-EFI-edge (6.4-rc2) for Quartz64-A , Quartz64-B , SOQuartz + SOQuartz Model-A Baseboard

You can install several variants of the kernel \ systems and choose the right one at startup, as on a regular PC.

I have a pcie-nvme adapter. Tell me which image you want me to test if needed and in which config (link?).

It is advisable to check this version whether NVMe will work or not (NVMe will be available for mounting and accessing files on it). Tnx.

I'm able to access the files from my nvme drive 👍

@balbes150 Excellent work, as ever.

 

I have just installed Armbian_23.06_Soquartz_sid_current_6.3.11.img onto an SOQUARTZ module on the emmc

 

It seems to be working well. My carrier board is the SOQUARTZ blade: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/SOQuartz

Also, HDMI works

Have you tested on the board using the specified link ?

[DigitalDaz]

Yes, I have 6 of these currently in an LXD cluster.

Question regarding version 23.8.1: Is it only me or is this version for the quartz64 model A broken? 

CPU load 500% + , only 2GB RAM detected and board freezes after 30 to 60 sec

the version you are using is unrelated to this topic.

[gounthar]

If I were to try a SoQuartz blade/Quartz64 these days, where could I find a recent image?
I haven't been able to find any in the download page.
Or should I use another image that would work for this model?
Thanks.
