Not the most user-friendly method, but it should work. com / ayufan - rock64 / linux - build / releases / download / 0.4.17 / xenial - mate - rock64 - 0.4.17 - 85 - arm64. Now you can download, and flash the firmware to the eMMC flash module with curl:Ĭurl - L https : / / github. This has be to be done, or you won’t see the eMMC flash module, while booting from a micro SD card. Top to Bottom: ROCK64’s 16GB eMMC flash Module, Hardkernel adapter, and micro SD card readerīut Pine64 does not sell such adapter, so how are you supposed to do with you bought an eMMC flash module? I’ve been explained you first need to flash a micro SD card with the image, and then interrupt the boot in u-boot (USB to TTL debug board required), remove the eMMC jumper, and continue the boot by typing “boot”. If you’ve read the WIki, you’ll notice all those are “micro SD” images, so since I had a eMMC flash module, I was a little confused at the beginning, but since I have Hardkernel’s micro SD to eMMC flash module adapter, installation was just the same as on a micro SD card with Etcher. But since I wanted to test a desktop image I was recommended the Ubuntu Mate image, and download the pre-release 64-bit version: xenial-mate-rock64-0.4. I’ve also been told there has not been that much work on the Desktop version right now, with most people focusing on NAS support with images such as Debian + OpenMediaVault. Pre-release builds – Version under test to eventually become the release buildĬurrently, documentation is still work in progress for the board, so I spent some time on IRC #Rock64 chatting with the helpful community there, and I noticed most of them used the community builds.Release builds – The current stable version released by the community.Community versions (currently managed via ayufan) are more frequently updates, and comes with more recent features.It’s supposed to be more stable, but get less updates
Engineering version – Becomes with release build based on the stock build develop by Pine64 and the SoC vendor.But first let me explain some vocabulary used for Pine64 firmware files: You’ll find several operating systems in the Wiki, but you’ll also find more cutting edge images in ayufan’s github. I’ve already tested Rock64 board with Android 7.1 operating system, so today I’ll report by finding and experience with Ubuntu 16.04.3 with MATE desktop.
Pine64 ROCK64 is the first maker board based on Rockchip RK3328 processor, and is potentially interesting for various applications including network storage thanks to USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet, multimedia applications with 4K HDR video support, as well as other applications requiring I/Os.
