Appears to be the same chip as the ROCKPro64 (Rockchip RK3399 SOC with Mali T860 MP4 GPU) from Pine64. https://www.pine64.org/rockpro64/ https://www.pine64.org

- rev_d 6y agoSounds like a reason to avoid this product.
- lytedev 6y agoWhy is that?
- imoverclocked 6y agoOld kernels, flaky support. I have a rockpro64 that I was trying to use as a router to my mobile hotspot. The board would freeze up randomly (daily/weekly) until I stopped using the WiFi entirely. There are exactly two kernels that I have gotten to work and they are both within a few minor revs of each other. This was an issue because I wanted to use newer firewall primitives which weren’t available in that kernel release. I purchased a tinkerboard and the situation got much worse. Just getting it to boot with a display took a few days of tinkering (lives up to its name) because my hdmi display wasn’t quite what it expected. Once I finally did boot and login, I tried updating ala apt-get and then rebooted. It never came back even with some putzing so I threw it on the junk pile. Also: I pinged tinkerboard support initially to get tips on why it might not be booting. Going on almost a year now and I’ve had no response.
