Debian

Official Debian Installer

As of April 2020 Debian have a ROCKPro64 images available for sid daily build. See forum thread here.

Debian 11 Bullseye images are available here.

Instructions for creating a bootable image are in the README file on the Debian website, as at June 2020 these were too short

  • Download: firmware.rockpro64-rk3399.img.gz
  • Download: partition.img.gz
  • Create the disk image:
For Linux: zcat firmware.rockpro64-rk3399.img.gz partition.img.gz > complete_image.img
For Mac: gzcat firmware.rockpro64-rk3399.img.gz partition.img.gz > complete_image.img
  • Write the image to your boot device:
For Linux: dd if=complete_image.img of=your_chosen_boot_device bs=4M
For Mac: Etcher

What you now have is the official Debian installer that will boot and run on your ROCKPro64. You will need an Ethernet connection and to answer the various installer questions/options.

Note: See the troubleshooting section if you encounter issues with GPU acceleration.

Armbian

Armbian.png

Minimal Debian-based Linux with powerful configurator and software installer. To find out more about Armbian and available options please visit their site. If you are booting from a Micro SD card, then both Linux kernel versions will work. If you are trying to boot from an eMMC module then the 4.4.y will work, but the newer 5.10.y will not.

  • Armbian packed as 7zip, please unzip first before dd.
  • DD image to microSD card or eMMC module and boot. Highly recommend using Etcher

All Armbian downloads can be found here: https://dl.armbian.com/rockpro64/archive/ (Redirects to fastest mirror)

Forum thread concerning these releases can be found here

A number of release versions are available based on either Ubuntu or Debian. In addition releases are available that are stable (based on a 4.4 kernel which has all the RockChip patches in it) or pre-releases (based on the latest linux kernel). An overview of the philosophy is on this GitHub page.

Clicking through on any chosen release header (or expanding the "assets" section under the Changelog) will provide options to download many images suitable for the ROCKPro64 as well as others suitable for other devices such as the Rock64 and PinebookPro - please read the download filenames carefully to choose precisely the image you desire.

OpenWrt

File:OpenWrt.png

OpenWrt ​is a highly extensible ​GNU/​Linux ​distribution for embedded devices ​(typically wireless routers). Unlike many other distributions for these routers, OpenWrt ​is built from the ground up to be a full-featured, easily modifiable operating system for your router. In practice, this means that you can have all the features you need with none of the bloat, powered by a Linux kernel ​that's more recent than most other distributions.

Choose a version and DD image to SD card (for 512MB microSD card and above)

default IP: 192.168.1.1
username: root

OpenWrt wiki notes: Main differences of buildbot snapshots vs. official stable releases

  • snapshots do not contain LuCI GUI by default. It needs to be installed by the user.
  • snapshots are completely untested. Just automatic builds of the most recent source code and packages. Although snapshots are usually ok, they may sometimes contain serious bugs that prevent booting the device correctly or even prevent easy sysupgrading to new versions.
  • snapshots are built daily, and that sets time limits to installing new packages with opkg. Due to kernel version checksums, you can only install “kmod” kernel modules and other kernel version dependent modules from the exactly same snapshot build. So, a few hours after flashing the firmware you may not be able to install new modules with opkg any more (as the next snapshot has been built into the download repo and has different checksums). See OpenWrt wiki for package availability time limits.

OpenWrt 21.02

Retro Arena Community Build Image [microSD / eMMC Boot] [Beta 0.0.8] This is a BETA and therefore is not update-able nor supported, however bugs or issues are appreciated to be identified and shared via the issues tab on our GitHub so that we can address them in the future. The Roshambo Case support is baked in with one major caveat due to kernel limitation: You can power the unit off by the POWER switch and the RESET button works 100% however to power the unit on you will need to manually plug/unplug the power cord. This limitation will not be present in future releases. Visit the project's [1]

VoidLinux

Official guide at Guide. At this time no RockPro64 image is available. Follows is the generic steps if you have an existing VoidLinux installation, eg thanks to a Live /bootable image on a Windows machine from voidlinux.org:

  • xbps-insall -Syu # updates the xbps installation of live image
  • create RockPro64 image from void-mklive software (from github.com):
    • create a rootfs via mkrootfs.sh: sh mkrootfs.sh -o void-aarch64-muls-ROOTFS-yyyymmdd.tar.xz
    • sh mkplatformfs.sh rockpro64 void-aarch64-muls-ROOTFS-yyyymmdd.tar.xz
    • sh mkimage.sh -s 7GiB void-rockpro64-PLATFORMFS-yyyymmdd.tar.xz
  • write image to sdcard or eMMC: dd if=IMAGE-FILENAME of=DEVICENAME bs=2M
  • If mkplatformfs.sh errors with rockpro64 not supported, install xbps-src from gibhub.com void-linux/void-packages and build the rockpro64 package.
  • Tip: write a new uboot to the image if you see on the serial console the boot-up stalls:
    • get the two uboot files from pkgs.org, the aarch64 files.

dd if=idbloader.img of=DEVICENAME seek=64 dd if=u-boot.itb of=DEVICENAME seek=16384
