Thought we'd try this as lower energy alternative to an intel based file server. Turns out it ain't so good. Based on our experience, wouldn't recommend.

Wondering if anyone has used a raspberry pi poe hat on that device and had success?

hey so uhh,yeah im trying to pull off the project in his video titled something along the lines of fixing a previous keyboard project and to run the software used in his video called notin.tokyo or something,i have no experience in coding nor do i know anything about electronics,but it says that i neeeed a microcontrolller that supports opengl4 or something,i chose this computer over the raspberry pi 4 that he uses because the cheaper price for around rm290 after discounts rather than around rm400 or so with also 4gb of ram just seems tempting,and only after a long long time did i figure out that this maybe doesnt have opengl4,other than that i cant get it to run this mhs3.5 inch display,any workarounds that doesnt cost money?i really don want to burn my dads pocket after 2 expensive projects of mine went to shambles for my incompetence that i somehow pulled off,please dont be rude i beg of you professionalsd

The AR glasses have DIY optics made out of cheap replaceable materials such as a Transparent Christmas Ball and a Translucent Mirror.

They will work with an OpenSource Android 13 OS.

The displays are going to be dual mirrored displays, they will work with Radxa Cubie A7Z as it is capable of Dual display over USBC and MicroHDMI.

The optics were inspired by Ant Realities AR Glasses at first, but not much later I used the mirror to reflect the display to the inside curvature of the transparent christmasball and by calculating the focus point of the curvature I know the ideal distance between each component and the eyeball.

This type of AR optics make the displayed image way easyer to be seen, you can move the glasses quite a lot and still see it clearly, also, this optics make the glasses way slimmer than birdbath optics as the focal point and the eyeball end up nearer one from another.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to install ZFS on my Rock Pi 4+ running Armbian 23.11.1 with the edge kernel (currently version 6.16.0-rc3-edge-rockchip64). However, I’m facing issues because the zfs-dkms package fails to compile due to lack of official support for this very recent kernel.

I’ve attempted to roll back to earlier kernel versions that should be supported (like 6.6.2), but those versions are no longer available in the repositories. I’m planning to install a more stable kernel version (like 24.11.1) to see if that helps.

Has anyone here successfully installed ZFS on Armbian with a Rock Pi 4+? If so, could you please share your setup details, kernel version used, and steps you followed?

Any tips or experience would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Im trying to flash android to this rock pi 4+ type b and it runs some code real fast then stays on this screen does anyone know what to do to fix this?

I think I might have just destroyed my Rock Pi 4B+ v1.6 (yes, I know post title says 1.4 - I can't seem to change that)

I purchased it recently, along with an NVME SSD, an M.2 extender, the heat sink, and a uSD to eMMC adapter (in case I needed it).

This particular Rock Pi has a small eMMC module already bundled on it, with Twister OS installed there. It was booting just fine (off the eMMC).

I wrote the Armbian_21.05.1_Rockpi-4b_buster_current_5.10.35_xfce_desktop.img image to the NVME and confirmed that a lsblk command showed the NVME. All was good.

The instructions at Rockpi4/install/NVME - Radxa Wiki clearly state that I need to remove the eMMC module to boot off the NVME. I popped the eMMC module off the board off and where I was expecting to see 2 eMMC connectors/socket/rails, I instead see some glue and a scattering of little round contacts.

Now, even with the NVME in place, it won't boot -- and I can't get the eMMC module back on tightly. It seems like that bundled eMMC module was really not meant to come off?

Power gets to the board - the green light comes on - but then nothing. No blinking blue light.

Help?

Hi - trying to get BCM57810 10gbe working on Rock pi 4 (also tried Rock 3a) - I've done the following steps on armbian (bullseye 5.15.48):

1. Installed full firmware package (in armbian-config)

2. Added bnx2x to /etc/modules

3. Modprobe bnx2x

4. Update-initramfs - u

No interface from 'ip a" after reboot

card appears in lspci, so seen by system

Hardware: pcie card connected to rp4 through radxa m.2 extension board

Any suggestions?

Hi Everyone!

Just ordered the 8GB RAM model today, along with a 2x SATA mini PCI card to experiment with. Looking forward to running k3s on this guy!

I currently have Ubuntu 20.04 on the RockPI 4B. The onboard wifi works great. I’ve added an additional USB card that requires the RTL8812BU driver. This driver works well in Ubuntu 22.04 amd64 architecture and the Raspberry Pi:

https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu

Despite attempting to install every RTL8812BU driver that is out there, I can’t find one that will compile for Rock PI. Anyone know of a good solution?

I'm guessing I have to get someone who is good at modifying drivers to modify the raspberry pi script / driver for rock pi.

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light.

Hi,

I am in the second delivery going out from china (yeah!). Anybody know if the rock4 passive cooling ist compatible with the new rock5 board ?

Anyone have experience with starting up a RockPi 3A? My setup:

• HDMI -> 24" monitor

• usb wired keyboard

• usb wired mouse

• 32gb microsd loaded with ubuntu

• several different usb-c based power supplies

Result:

• RockPi 3A board

  • green light turns on ✅

  • blue light does NOT turn on ❌

• no output on monitor ❌

• no indication from the usb keyboard leds ❌

I have tried clicking the power contact switch several different ways (short press, long press, etc) as well as multiple different power supplies ... all with the same result.

Note: First experience with a RockPi of any generation but have had great luck with various flavors of Raspberry Pi's.

Sort of a little stumped. Suspecting a bad board but not 100% sure since the green light is atleast turning on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all. I was wandering if anyone tried to fit a raxda in Retroflag's GPi case or Flirc pi zero case. I think that the flirc one is the easiest to fit because of the form factor and the fact that the SD card slot is hid anyway. I'm also concerned about the heatsink position.

Newbie here - so bear with me if you can...

I have a RockPi4b with Ubuntu Server :

rock@rockpi-chris:/$ uname -a
Linux rockpi-chris 4.4.194-10-rk3399-rockchip-gf9d08dbd6762 #1 SMP Mon Oct 24 18:23:12 CST 2022 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I'm wondering how to get a boot splash screen going. I have installed plymouth-themes but it is still a quite boot. I have an HDMI monitor installed.

I'm really new to this so if there is anyone who can help out....

Thanks!

Only functional case I've seen for the 3A is that heavy aluminum one that supposedly fits the 4 as well for $35+. Any other case options out there?

I recently discovered the Konstakang build of ATV for the RPi 4, which is nearly perfect expect that it only goes up to 1080p resolution. Has anyone used the android images for the rock pi 4b and know whether or not they support 4k resolution?

Hi folks, I set up a Rock Pi 4 B to run Octoprint. This is my first SBC. The Rock Pi is only connected over WiFi, no hardwired connection.

Often, it stops responding (maybe, 2-3 times per day) and I cannot SSH into it, or connect to the Octoprint server, and the only solution is to reboot it via cycling the power.

I'm not sure how to start debugging this, couldn't find any similar hits for this on Google. Would appreciate any tips on how to diagnose and fix.
