Rabian is the new Debian based Linux distribution for radxa products. Currently Rabian is based on Debian 8, jessie. Rabian will be the only distribution officially supported by radxa team(we have limited efforts). Currently Rabian supports the following boards:

The features of Rabian:

  • Fast and lightweight, full function desktop

  • easy to use, radxa will provide more GUI apps and debian packages to make the device more friendly
  • up to date, besides the updating from officail Debian package repository, radxa also provides up to date debian package server - apt.radxa.us

Setup the network

Ethernet

Wifi

For Rabian, wifi should work out of the box on all devices. But if it doesn't check below:

For rock series, the wifi module is rtl8723au/rtl8188etv, check rock/Wireless for how to setup wifi. For rock2 square, the wifi module is ap6335, check Rock2/wireless for how to setup AP mode.

FAQs

  • Why CPU is 100% after desktop is idle for some minutes?
   Rock2 square supports dynamic cpu frequency. The cpu can run as low as 126Mhz and as high as 1.8Ghz depends on the task load. This saves power. If you want to let the cpu ran at 1.8Ghz all the time. Run echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
