Info
The PINE64 Quartz64 Model A board is a small form factor single board computer (SBC) based on the Rockchip RK3566 SoC with 4 x Cortex-A55 cores 
supporting up to 8GiB RAM. The SBC also has USB2, USB3, PCIe, and GbE connectivity.
See https://www.pine64.org/quartz64a/
The anticipated use case is "Far Edge": e.g. a virtualized IoT gateway.
Required and supported hardware
Minimally, you need:
PINE64 Quartz64 Model A
4GiB or 8GiB
1 x micro SD card for UEFI firmware
1 x USB drive for installer ISO and actual ESXi installation
1 x USB NIC
1 x USB TTL serial cable for serial console
The following hardware is supported:
USB storage
USB networking
Serial console

As you will note, SD cards, eMMC cards, PCIe, and onboard GbE ports are not supported.

USB devices

IMPORTANT: USB device can consume significant power and thus put a stress on the Quartz64's power circuits. Some USB devices could consume so

much power (e.g. NVMe enclosure) that the system will simply not work, be unstable or have unstable USB behavior. For anything short of a basic USB

key and NIC, use a powered USB3 hub.

Note: The system has four USB ports. The white USB2 ports (closest to the middle of the board) are not reliable with the Fling. For best results, use the

black USB2 port and/or the blue USB3 port.

Preparation

Serial console access

Connect the USB TTL cable to the GND (pin 6 or 9), UART2_TX_M0_DEBUG (pin 8), and UART2_RX_M0_DEBUG (pin 10) pins on the board's Pi-2-BUS

header.

Fire up your terminal emulator and connect to the device on your PC. The parameters used to open this port:

Baud Rate 115200

Data Bits 8

Parity None

Stop Bits 1

Flow Control None

'screen' terminal emulator

Note: device names below may be different. Check your system.

On Linux:

$ screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

'minicom' terminal emulator

Note: device names below may be different. Check your system.

With , you will have to configure settings the first time you use it.minicom

On Linux:

$ minicom -c on -D /dev/ttyUSB0

Now press :CTRL-Z

Now press :O

Use arrow key to navigate to and press the :Serial port setup ENTER

Now press :E

Press again, then .E ENTER

Make sure settings and both say to any kind of flow control. Press when done, then navigate to and press . F G No ENTER Save setup as dfl ENTER

Use to exit out of the menus.ESC

Updating UEFI firmware

The SD card will be only used for UEFI firmware, so don't bother with a big card.

Downloading firmware

Download the for your board:latest community Quartz64 UEFI firmware

For 4GiB boards: sdcard_4GB.img.gz

For 8GiB boards: sdcard_8GB.img.gz

Use or similar (e.g. dd on Linux, BSD, or macOS) to perform a "raw" write of the firmware directly to the micro SD card.Balena Etcher

Install ESXi-Arm

Follow the generic installation steps, with a few caveats.

Because the Quartz64 only has two reliable USB ports, and one the ports has to be occupied by a USB NIC, you will have to flash the ISO to the

same drive you intend to use for ESXi-Arm.

Because only the serial console is available, you will not be able to pass any advanced options to installer (e.g. via autoPartitionOSDataSize Shif

in the ESXi bootloader)t-O
