Greetings all;

My 3d printer farm is out of business, all the rock64's died, as in no hdmi
video anymore, and the rock64's weren't
that great due to extreme interference between the video and usb activity. I
can still log into them and can run
stuff from here, but its a bit useless to try and run a 3d printer from out
of sight 3 rooms away.

So I have a question for your arm folks, as I have a 4 pack of the latest
4gig bannana pi's on order.

No idea: probably.

Can it can now run an xfce4 desktop, just like an rpi4b, giving good video
for octoprint?

https://github.com/radxa/debos-radxa/releases/download/20220820-0621/rockpi-4b-debian-bullseye-xfce4-arm64-20220820-0811-gpt.img.xz
If it can, a URL for the latest image would be very appreciated.

That's the image from Radxa - you are on your own. No idea about octaprint
or whether you'll have to compile/build that for yourself.

Although Debian has various images for rk3399 = http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/

I've no idea whether any of these will work. As ever, this *isn't* Debian and
any support any of us can give is only best endeavours at best.
thanks Andy.  From the Readme , it sounds like I ought to be able to concoct something. OctoPrint is all python, and runs in a python venv as if its on a real pi. So If I've good video on the reboot, I should be in high clover.

When the bananna pi's get here, middle of next month.

Thank you.


Thank you all. Take care & stay well.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
All the very best, as ever,

Andy Cater
