I have a rock pi 4, which was purchased as a rock pi 4a. However, the labelling on it says ROCK PI 4 V1.5. No mention of A, B or C.
Also, it looks like a 4A except it has a POE header by the USB ports, and there is no wifi/bt chip.
It was bought from allnet.china last month. Is this a copy product? this is the one I am having problems with getting the raspberry pi 7 inch screen to work at the same time as the ethernet port (if the screen is disabled, the ethernet works).
As you can see from the photo, it looks like a 4A, but it has the POE connector that is not normally on a 4A. Also, the model / version number in the middle is non-standard.
My ‘real’ 4A works with the 7" screen and ethernet concurrently, whereas this device does not, making me believe it is a sub-standard or broken copy…?
Also, it did not come in a ‘radxa’ clear plastic box, but in a green cardboard box that mirrored the look of the raspberry pi box. So I presume that what I have is not made by Radxa.
So far as we know, there is no clone/copy of ROCK Pi 4. The board is made by us. V1.5 is the latest version of 4A/4B(not 4A+/4B+). We will check the 7inch display and ethernet issue, it might be a software issue.
Ok, so it could be the change from RTL8211E to RLT8211F, or the QC/PD protocol trigger chip change, and/or the fact that i’m running from a 5V 3A USB-C supply. I will try a different PSU later and report back.
