Pine RockPro64

Hello, The issue I describe below begins with a simple 1GB/s speed test with iperf3 (using tcp, then udp). With tcp everything is almost ok. With udp it's an other story. I first try through Internet and notice that there is connection drops. The network topology is : test computer => internet => router => switch (Mikrotik crs-326) => Rockpro64 The iperf3 server is on Rockpro64, and the client is on test computer. I then try to narrow down : - I connect directly to the switch and try again : in and out switch ports show near max speed (~1 Gbps), however the iperf3 server logs show 2 or 3 transfers at reduced speed, then show no tran…

Hi, I tried to connect an external USB 3.2 gen 2x2 4TB SSD drive to the only USB-C port available on the Rockpro64, but it's not recognized. I don't know if I need to install some packages for it to work? Any help would be very appreciated! I am on Ubuntu Jammy based Armbian: 6.1.63-current-rockchip64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 20 10:52:19 UTC 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux It works well with the same cable on a Macbook Pro.

Hi guys. I have been using a RockPro64 as a miniserver for many years. It runs stable most of the time. I have assigned it a host name "ab2" via armbian-config. It usually responds well to this alias. Only from time to time it happens that it no longer responds to the hostname. Only a reboot helps. Do you have any idea what this could be? PS Thanks for your great work! Sem

is it possible to get edp on rockpro64 working with armbian

Hello, I've installed the 22.11 version with the 5.15 kernel on the microSD card. I've a rockpro64 with the SSD adapter and a WD black 250GB nvme. The system doesn't recognizes this drive. I've tested the latest stable ayufan image (kernel 4.4) and it recognises it perfectly. Should I downgrade the kernel to the 4.4 branch? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Hi to all, In the past it was proposed by @Igor to use the u-boot-sunxi/remove-boot-messages-from-hdmi.patch this now as I can see under the allwinner-optional and seems do nothing on RockPro64 u-boot compile to hide the text @jock provided in the Tinker forum a userpatch disable-vidconsole.patch which works great on it (tinker) diff --git a/include/configs/tinker_rk3288.h b/include/configs/tinker_rk3288.h index bde7d72e6d..3ae9bb05f7 100644 --- a/include/configs/tinker_rk3288.h +++ b/include/configs/tinker_rk3288.h @@ -7,9 +7,9 @@ #define __CONFIG_H #define ROCKCHIP_DEVICE_SETTINGS \ - "stdin=serial,usbkbd\0" \ - "stdout=ser…

Hello, After several days of debug I put the finger on a very strange issue using integrated Ethernet. I use my Rockpro64 mostly as a Samba and DNS server. In my network context I implement 2 vlans as vlan interfaces (eth0.10 and eth0.20). Each of these interfaces needs to use a specific mac address that differs from physical eth0 mac address (it is an important point). If I use only the physical mac my router is not be able to route correctly between vlans (probably an ivl/svl issue). Under this context I first noticed that when I bring down eth0.20 although using vlan 10 (so eth0.10) connectivity is lost. I then wr…

I have a RockPro64 that I have been using for many years as a server. It is currently running Armbian bookworm 12.5. Most of the storage is on an M.2 SSD attached to the PCI socket and is subdivided into disk volumes using linux LVM2. Today I accepted the Armbian kernel upgrade from 6.1.50 to 6.6.16 During the reboot it failed to mount any of my LVM volumes because the device nodes where not present. I found this article about how to recover the situation: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/11125/lvm-devices-under-dev-mapper-missing While in rescue mode I ran the suggested command vgchange -a y <name of volume gr…

In this post free software should be understood as coined by the fsf.org. Thank you.
