* This is a BETA and therefore is not updatable 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.

Retro Arena

Retroarena.png

Retro Arena community build for microSD and eMMC boot. 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. You can follow the ongoing discussion about Retro Arena on the forum

Use configuration packages to configure the distribution:

  • core/gentoo: Gentoo optimized for Rockpro64
  • core/nixos: NixOS arm64

You can also configure the skiff core yaml file to configure multiple distributions to run in parallel.

The boot-up OS can be upgraded independently from the containers.

Flashing the distribution to the eMMC:

  • Flash the image to micro SD, power up the board with micro SD and login
  • Copy the image file to micro SD by using SFTP. The image file must have the .img file extension.
  • After finish copy the file, power off the board and add eMMC module to the board
  • Boot the board, run below command for flashing to eMMC module
  • Run dd if=[image file] of=/dev/mmcblkX bs=10M (example: sudo dd if=slack-current-aarch64-xfce_29Sep18-4.4.162-rockpro64-build-20181126.img of=/dev/mmcblkX bs=10M)
  • then edit these two files in eMMC module:
    • mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media
    • echo "rootdev=/dev/mmcblk1p1" >> /media/boot/uEnv.txt
    • sed -i 's:mmcblk0p1:mmcblk1p1:' /media/etc/fstab
  • After that, power off the board and remove the microSD card. Then boot with only the eMMC module.

Void Linux

Void Linux is a general purpose operating system, based on the monolithic Linux kernel. The official guide can be found at Guide. At this time there are no RockPro64 images available.

The following creates a bootable image from an existing Void Linux installation:

  • xbps-insall -Syu to update the xbps installation of the installation
  • create ROCKPro64 image with the 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 https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages and build the ROCKPro64 package.
  • Tip: write a new U-Boot to the image if you see on the serial console the boot-up stalls:
    • get the two U-Boot files from pkgs.org, the aarch64 files:
    • dd if=idbloader.img of=DEVICENAME seek=64
    • dd if=u-boot.itb of=DEVICENAME seek=16384
