rock/rock is working perfectly
Introduce ROCK 5B - ARM Desktop level SBC
yes but he says it doesnt work
Its rock:rock user:password
i know it is on the radxa site but he sais it didnt work
It does or we would all be saying. He has a wrong image or there is another fault. Or doing something simple such as Caps lock.
I received my unit yesterday and just got around testing it. (on 20221024 build of Debian)
NVMe boot works (after flashing SPI as guided) and USB PD negotiation seems to work (shows 20V-3.25A on my 65W adapter).
However, I noticed the read/write speed on my NVMe is rather low at 750+MB/s, even though it is capable of 3000MB/s as I’ve tested it before on another machine.
Also, renderer is on llvmpipe, so I suppose there’s no hardware accelerated graphics? (Can see cursor flickering a lot, and window border artifacting) Likewise, video playback off of the included Chromium build is also not HW-accelerated.
Am I missing something here, like setting up of GPU driver or something? Or is working on the older Deb image listed on the Download page? Apologies, as I don’t really have much time to test right now, so thought to ask first.
for the ssd try cleaning the contacts an screwing it in thight
Contacts are all clean, and it is indeed secured properly.
and whats the output on the board from lspci -vv
Here’s the output

Ordered on 17th October on allNetChina, shipping via ‘economy’ transport, received in France today (26th october), so quicker than expected.
Let’s start to play…

The factory is shipping the ROCK 5B boards directly to our customers by air (not by boat) in order to reduce wait time. They’ve indicated they plan to have all orders shipped before the end of October.

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate the clarification.
wow cool,
i didnt think i will get my email in october
and thankyou for the reply
sorry but it has no lane information
What I pasted is what I got 
Are there any other commands I can try?
maybe this could work: sudo lspci -nv
i think the rock 5b doesnt support accesing these infos
Ameridroid said in an email to me. shipping will be starting anywhere from the 20th - 31th of october.
but i still haven’t received an email with tracking info yet…
We are waiting to find out if the factory is sending the emails with the tracking information or if they will send the tracking information to us so we can contact our customers.
Successifully started Debian 11 from eMMC. Intel AX210NGW WIFI 6E m.2 adapter started after sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade, NVME disk detected. I connected 4k signal to HDMI input and try to output signal with QT V4L2 test utility but it show’s black screen over OpenGL. Seem’s like video acceleration doesn’t work:
