Now that I’ve successfully avoided FPGA-hell (thanks Quentin!) I used my copious free time to slide into GPIO-hell. I don’t have a screen or serial console at the moment on the Rock 4 SE, but whatever magic @armbian is trying to do in the fixup script to get 1Wire configured didn’t work here (see also https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/7879#issuecomment-3686491513) and turned my GPIO4_D2 into "gpios = <0x8a 0x04 0x00 0xae>;” instead of “gpios = <0x1a 0x1a 0x00>;” that I need. Yay for handwritten DTSs!

This image does seem to now work better. Running on 1 720p HDMI TV Screen I was able to watch a Youtube video in HD!

Looks like there is a new build of #debian from 12 days ago! So lets see what that gives me!

So, new day - new week - lets see if any of the new #Rock4SE images have any better performance! #sbb

Armbian on the Rock 4SE SBC 🤘
Having tested out Debian and the DietPi-based operating systems, I now turn my attention to the Armbian community images for the Rock SBC. The review by RasPiPkr Tutorials (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ-gqPXWCUw&t=1304s) shows YouTube playing without much trouble and also a faster-looking Graphical interface.

So I downloaded the supported image from the Armbi

✌️Using the GPIO – Rock 4SE 🤘
One of the main uses for single-board computers like the Rock 4SE is to control things through the GPIO pins. This can be simple LED control or complete motor or servo control. SBCs have long been used in robotics of all sorts - from simple four-wheeled robots to complex multi-jointed two-legged auto-balanced robots.

The GPIO pins in the Rock 4SE will allow you to use the bo

Debian- WIFI Setup on the Rock 4 SE
Setting up WIFI on the Rock 4 SE is nice and quick on the Debian images as it comes with the correct libraries installed.

This guide is for people running the Rock 4 SE whilst connected to a screen, keyboard, and mouse. If you are trying to run the board in "Headless" mode, I will hopefully have another tutorial shortly.

This guide assumes you are booted up

I sent my #ROCK4SE back.

Its 6 slower cores were 8% slower than the Raspberry Pi 4B's 4 faster cores doing non-graphical code or non-AES encryption (the ROCK4SE has hardware encryption).

Supposedly the ROCK4SE graphics chip is faster than the Pi4B chip - I didn't test that as my interest was as a Pi4 replacement in the GoPiGo3.

ROCK4SE idled 60degC same heatsink (inverted, processor is on bottom), #RPi4 idles at 45degC.

SPI is dev1 not dev0 - not code compatible
