![]() ![]() Still despite that some members of the Linux Sunxi Community are already busy working with the Pine A64. With limited information and support when they tried to come up with proper Linux support for Allwinner based devices. That basically meant that the existing friendly and supportive Open-Source community for the Allwinner related SoC’s often had to work Why? Well, it seems that the relationship between Allwinner Technology and the Open-Source community has not always been the best in the past. Relatively soon it became obvious that this would not be an easy task. Impatient as we are, once we got the device, we immediately started out to rectify this by getting HypriotOS to run on it. ALLWINNER A64 ARM CORTEX A53 ANDROIDStill for us it is a tad annoying that Android is first instead of Linux. The Pine makers assured us that Linux support will come, too. One of the current limitations of the Pine A64 is that it only runs with Android. Seeing is believing and as such we prepared a couple of photos that we made from our own Pine A64+ board with 1 GB. We were lucky enough to secure an early developer version of the device, which arrived a couple of days ago. If it turns out that the build quality and support of the board is on par with that of the Raspberry Pi that could indeed considered an impressive accomplishment. It is called the A64+ and costs a bit more with $19 (1 GB version) or $29 (2 GB version).Įven at $19 for the 1 GB version that’s nearly half of the price of a Raspberry Pi 2. Just be aware that you’ll get these specs only with the high-end version of the Pine. Those specs set the Pine A64 distinctly apart from the Raspberry Pi 2, which much to our regret only provides 100 Megabit Ethernet. What excites us the most here, is the 64-bit architecture combined with 2 GB of memory and Gigabit Ethernet.
