=== LEDs ===
 
A green LED next to the 12V input barrel connector will light as long as there is 12V applied to the connector. (Even if the RockPro64 is powered off.)
 
A white LED behind the reset button will light as long as the RockPro64 is running (it comes on a few seconds after power on, when control is passed to the operating system.)
 
A red LED behind the reset button is DIY - it is lit for example if the board is in OTG mode with an Ayufan image, or if an Android image is in standby mode.
 
Yellow and green LEDs on the LAN socket behave in a standard way.
 
=== Jumpers ===
They are used for boot device selection, as described in the following section.
 
==== Disable eMMC ====
 
There is an unlabelled (on the PCB silk-screen) 2-pin jumper (16) between the eMMC socket (14) and the SPI chip (17). It is designated as SW4 on the [[#Board Information, Schematics and Certifications | schematic diagram]]. The default condition is OPEN (no jumper). It is useful for controlling the boot as follows:
 
Default boot device (with no SPI software) is eMMC, then SDcard. If both the eMMC and the SDcard contain bootable images then the eMMC can be disabled by installing the jumper. This completely removes the eMMC from the resulting OS. If you wish the eMMC to be visible in the booted OS the jumper should be removed 2 seconds after applying power (and before the white LED comes on).
 
The possible combinations are summarised in the table below.
 
* 1 = present
* 0 = not present
 
{| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align: center;"
! µSD !! eMMC !! SW4 !! boot from
|-
| 0 || 0 || 0 || unsupported
|-
| 0 || 0 || 1 || unsupported
|-
| 0 || 1 || 0 || eMMC
|-
| 0 || 1 || 1 || unsupported
|-
| 1 || 0 || 0 || SDCard
|-
| 1 || 0 || 1 || SDCard
|-
| 1 || 1 || 0 || eMMC
|-
| 1 || 1 || 1 || SDCard
|}
 
==== Disable SPI (while booting) ====
There is a second possibility to jumper your ROCKPro64: If you mess-up your SPI and are unable to boot, jumpering pins 23 (CLK) and 25 pin (GND) on the PI-2-bus header will disable the SPI as a boot device. (This was taken from the IRC logs, 09 August 2018 @ 17:23) You have to remove the jumper 2 seconds after having started your RP64 (before the white LED turns ON) otherwise the SPI will be missing and you won't be able to flash it.
Ayufan images contain (at the moment) only one script for the SPI and the RP64, it's "rockpro64_reset_spi_flash". Other SPI scripts are dedicated to the R64 (as it is written on the name) and it will mess-up your RP64 SPI if you use them.

On Linux, using the new <code>/dev/gpiochip</code> API, the <code>''n''</code> in <code>GPIO''n''_''XX''</code> appears to correlate to the number of the <code>/dev/gpiochip''n''</code>, and the <code>''XX''</code> to the definition <code>RK_P''XX''</code> of lines in <code>include/dt-bindings/pinctrl/rockchip.h</code> of the Linux kernel source. Having these named in the dts would be nice.
You can use [https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libgpiod/libgpiod.git/ libgpiod] to drive them, and test them with the included tools (<code>gpioinfo</code>, <code>gpioset</code>, ...)
For example, <code>gpioset 4 25=1</code> (run as root) would turn pin 22 on. Do beware that poking the wrong GPIO pin can lock up your system.
The conversion table at right is also available as a [https://gist.github.com/CounterPillow/fe066655bf2d929148fe6eb3f15b1dd5 C header file].

[[file:ITX-Bracket-Mounted.jpg|300px|thumb|right|A [[Quartz64]] Model-A mounted in an ITX case using 3D printed brackets, which can also be used for the ROCKPro64]]
 
Allows mounting a ROCKPro64 or Quartz64 Model-A board inside a regular PC case that conforms to the ITX standard, using 3D printed brackets:
 
* AMF/STL/STEP files plus the original FreeCAD file used to create the models [[File:RP64-A_Q64-A_to_ITX_mounting_brackets.zip]]
* Make sure to flip the two brackets by 180 degrees on one of the horizontal axes (X/Y) in your slicer of choice before printing to avoid unnecessary supports
* To allow enough clearance between the board and the bracket you either need to print four copies of the washer model or add nut(s) between the board and the bracket
* If using nuts for the clearance between the board and the brackets, make sure it creates at least 3.2mm of spacing in between
* Depending on the accuracy and calibration of a 3D printer, slight deviation can occur and you likely need to manually widen some of the holes to allow screws to fit

== Troubleshooting ==
 
=== No Video or GPU Acceleration on Debian ===
 
'''Note:''' This issue should be non-existent in newer versions of the Linux kernel, as well as in long-term support (LTS) kernels, with [https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=80f4e62730a91572b7fdc657f7bb747e107ae308 this upstream kernel commit] that introduced the required module dependency.
 
If you can log in through serial but don't get any video or GPU acceleration on Debian, this is likely due to Debian's decision to compile the devfreq governors as loadable modules but not including them early enough for panfrost to be able to be provided with one of them.
 
The usual sign of this being the case is the following line in the kernel log: <code>[drm:panfrost_devfreq_init [panfrost]] *ERROR* Couldn't initialize GPU devfreq</code>
 
To fix this issue, run the following as <code>root</code> and reboot:
 
echo governor_simpleondemand >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r)
 
=== PCIe probe failures on Linux kernel boot ===
 
While booting the Linux kernel, you might experience PCIe probe failures, which render the attached PCIe device inaccessible.  The [https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230509153912.515218-1-vincenzopalazzodev@gmail.com/ "drivers: pci: introduce configurable delay for Rockchip PCIe bus scan"] thread on the Linux kernel mailing list (LKML) discusses this issue and proposes a fix.

The ROCKPro64

The ROCKPro64 is the most powerful single-board computer released by PINE64. It is powered by a Rockchip RK3399 hexa-core (dual ARM Cortex A72 and quad ARM Cortex A53) 64-bit processor with a Mali T-860 quad-core GPU. The key features include a PCI Express (PCIe) x4 open-ended slot, the use of LPDDR4 DRAM, and industry-standard heatsink mounting holes.

The ROCKPro64 is equipped with 2 or 4 GB of LPDDR4 system memory, and 128 Mb of SPI boot flash. There is also an optional eMMC module (up to 128 GB) and microSD slot for booting. The board is equipped with 1x USB 3.0 Type-C host port with DP 1.2, 1x USB 3.0 Type-A host port, 2x USB 2.0 host port, Gigabit Ethernet, PI-2 GPIO bus, MiPi DSI interface, eDP interface, touch panel interface, stereo MiPi CSI interface, as well as many other device interfaces such as UART, SPI, I2C, for makers to integrate with sensors and other peripherals. Many different operating systems (OSes) are freely available from the open-source community, such as Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch), BSD and Android.

Getting Started

The article ROCKPro64 Getting Started gives important information to get the board up and running.

Software releases

In the ROCKPro64 Software Releases page, you will find a complete list of currently supported Operating System images that work with the ROCKPro64, as well as other related software. The Software Release page has links to download the images as well as high level instructions to load each image.

Please see the Getting started page for detailed discussion of what you need (prerequisites) as well as instructions if the high level instructions are insufficient.

LEDs

A green LED next to the 12V input barrel connector will light as long as there is 12V applied to the connector. (Even if the RockPro64 is powered off.)

A white LED behind the reset button will light as long as the RockPro64 is running (it comes on a few seconds after power on, when control is passed to the operating system.)

A red LED behind the reset button is DIY - it is lit for example if the board is in OTG mode with an Ayufan image, or if an Android image is in standby mode.

Yellow and green LEDs on the LAN socket behave in a standard way.

Jumpers

They are used for boot device selection, as described in the following section.

Disable eMMC

There is an unlabelled (on the PCB silk-screen) 2-pin jumper (16) between the eMMC socket (14) and the SPI chip (17). It is designated as SW4 on the schematic diagram. The default condition is OPEN (no jumper). It is useful for controlling the boot as follows:

Default boot device (with no SPI software) is eMMC, then SDcard. If both the eMMC and the SDcard contain bootable images then the eMMC can be disabled by installing the jumper. This completely removes the eMMC from the resulting OS. If you wish the eMMC to be visible in the booted OS the jumper should be removed 2 seconds after applying power (and before the white LED comes on).

The possible combinations are summarised in the table below.

  • 1 = present
  • 0 = not present
µSD eMMC SW4 boot from
0 0 0 unsupported
0 0 1 unsupported
0 1 0 eMMC
0 1 1 unsupported
1 0 0 SDCard
1 0 1 SDCard
1 1 0 eMMC
1 1 1 SDCard

Disable SPI (while booting)

There is a second possibility to jumper your ROCKPro64: If you mess-up your SPI and are unable to boot, jumpering pins 23 (CLK) and 25 pin (GND) on the PI-2-bus header will disable the SPI as a boot device. (This was taken from the IRC logs, 09 August 2018 @ 17:23) You have to remove the jumper 2 seconds after having started your RP64 (before the white LED turns ON) otherwise the SPI will be missing and you won't be able to flash it. Ayufan images contain (at the moment) only one script for the SPI and the RP64, it's "rockpro64_reset_spi_flash". Other SPI scripts are dedicated to the R64 (as it is written on the name) and it will mess-up your RP64 SPI if you use them.

The hardware compatibility list can be found under ROCKPro64 Hardware compatibility.

On Linux, using the new /dev/gpiochip API, the n in GPIOn_XX appears to correlate to the number of the /dev/gpiochipn, and the XX to the definition RK_PXX of lines in include/dt-bindings/pinctrl/rockchip.h of the Linux kernel source. Having these named in the dts would be nice.

You can use libgpiod to drive them, and test them with the included tools (gpioinfo, gpioset, ...)

For example, gpioset 4 25=1 (run as root) would turn pin 22 on. Do beware that poking the wrong GPIO pin can lock up your system.

The conversion table at right is also available as a C header file.

Yes/Yes No/Yes* For the "new" ROCKPro64 WIFI module: Verified with Manjaro ARM (kernel 6.2.5). A config file ("firmware file") is needed at /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt. See #Getting wifi working ("new" wifi module) for the file contents and details. In 0.7.9 Ayufan linux releases this is deliberately disabled for stability reasons. On Manjaro ARM (kernel 6.2.5), WIFI seems to be stable with the firmware file. On a 5GHz network (802.11AC), it is possible to get about 120Mbps using the "new" ROCKPro64 WIFI module.

3D printable ITX mounting brackets

A Quartz64 Model-A mounted in an ITX case using 3D printed brackets, which can also be used for the ROCKPro64

Allows mounting a ROCKPro64 or Quartz64 Model-A board inside a regular PC case that conforms to the ITX standard, using 3D printed brackets:

  • AMF/STL/STEP files plus the original FreeCAD file used to create the models File:RP64-A Q64-A to ITX mounting brackets.zip
  • Make sure to flip the two brackets by 180 degrees on one of the horizontal axes (X/Y) in your slicer of choice before printing to avoid unnecessary supports
  • To allow enough clearance between the board and the bracket you either need to print four copies of the washer model or add nut(s) between the board and the bracket
  • If using nuts for the clearance between the board and the brackets, make sure it creates at least 3.2mm of spacing in between
  • Depending on the accuracy and calibration of a 3D printer, slight deviation can occur and you likely need to manually widen some of the holes to allow screws to fit

Troubleshooting

No Video or GPU Acceleration on Debian

Note: This issue should be non-existent in newer versions of the Linux kernel, as well as in long-term support (LTS) kernels, with this upstream kernel commit that introduced the required module dependency.

If you can log in through serial but don't get any video or GPU acceleration on Debian, this is likely due to Debian's decision to compile the devfreq governors as loadable modules but not including them early enough for panfrost to be able to be provided with one of them.

The usual sign of this being the case is the following line in the kernel log: [drm:panfrost_devfreq_init [panfrost]] *ERROR* Couldn't initialize GPU devfreq

To fix this issue, run the following as root and reboot: 

echo governor_simpleondemand >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r)

PCIe probe failures on Linux kernel boot

While booting the Linux kernel, you might experience PCIe probe failures, which render the attached PCIe device inaccessible. The "drivers: pci: introduce configurable delay for Rockchip PCIe bus scan" thread on the Linux kernel mailing list (LKML) discusses this issue and proposes a fix.

Manjaro ARM applies the following patches to the kernel package, which fix the issue:
