Probably the LTS one.
Thanks. Wonāt boot. But neither will most other OS images. These 512MB cards are, um, not ideal for finding good OS images. I very much wish I had spent the extra $$$ for the 1GB model. Too late now.
Are any of the devs interested in receiving (free!) a Pine64 A64 / 512MB. I suspect, but cannot completely verify, that eth0 hardware has failed (simultaneously on 4x boards. Weird.) USB wifi dongles work. Do not have wifi/bluetooth accessory for these.
PM me if interested.
Last I tried Manjaro on my Pine64 (1 GB model though) it had ethernet out of the box.
I havenāt tried in a while though.
These boards all simultaneously lost ethernet while running (Armbian). Router reported they dropped out within ms of each other.
Where they all connected to the same switch/power supply when it happened?
Yeah. Did all that troubleshooting.
There is a near-zero probability of all suffering same hardware failure at same time while other devices on same switch + PSU did not. Near-zero is not zero, however.
Anyway, Iām giving up and replacing them. If any dev wants one or more, Iām happy to drop them into the post.
Also, I donāt have the necessary gear to definitively verify ethernet hardware failure. I just know that I canāt find an OS image able to detect the ethernet hardware anymore. USB wifi dongles still work, but I donāt have enough of them for each board to get its own and I can replace (upgrade) the boards for about the same price as buying USB wifi sticks.
New install of xfce 20.08 on pinebook pro is very sluggish. As in, I can see pop-up windows being drawn over 1-1.5 seconds; resizing a terminal window with the mouse will lag and freeze horribly and so on.
This was not the situation with Manjaro arm xfce a few months ago.
I have verified that compositing is enabled, and Mesa is installed. I tried installing mesa-git but if anything things seemed to become worse.
Glxgears it running and glxinfo seems to say I am using a Panfrost driver.
Any ideas on other things to look at?
As far as I know, xfce uses 2d acceleration and not 3d acceleration. Panfrost does not do 2d very well.
You can install xf86-video-fbturbo-git from the repo to get better 2d acceleration, but 3 acceleration will be crap.
As long as Panfrost does not support both, you canāt really have both at the same time. Sorry.

3D is nice to have. Hardware compositing is a necessity. I can live without 3D if it makes the machine usable. Thanks!
I see āNo audio card on Odroid N2+ā mentionedā¦
Does this mean no audio at all? Or is it just the audio jack that doesnāt work, and audio over hdmi works fine?
It sadly means no audio at allā¦
would plugging in a cheap usb sound card work?
Probably. 
Hi,
I bought the hardkernel usb audio card, no problem with my c2, c4 and n2 devices.

Hello. I have a problem with my nvme disk, vim3 pro does not see it.
And heats up a lot, about 60 degrees on the surface (measured with a multimeter with a thermocouple).
Please tell me what could be the problem?
I have two M2X Extension Boards(old and new version)
OS - 5.7.14-1-MANJARO-ARM on eMMC
NVME - samsung 970 EVO plus 500gb
Thanks.

Anybody have experience with this release on the Rock Pi 4C? Iāve been thinking about picking one up because of the dual display outputs (1 HDMI, 1 DP) and the built in NVME slot. If anybody has tried the 4C (especially if you use dual screen and NVME), Iād love to hear about it! Thanks!
If you notice the post, we have not created images for the Rock Pi 4C, only the 4B.
But I have heard from other 4C users that the install from the manjaro-arm-installer works fine.

I did notice that, thanks for clarifying, @Strit! I donāt have an issue installing with the m-a-i; itās my preferred method for my Pinebook Pro and SD Cards. I was mostly wondering if the hardware was all supported since the 4C is a relatively new device. Glad youāve heard good things!
