The '''PINE64-LTS''' is the long term supply version of the PINE A64 (+), ''PINE64's'' first single board computer, powered by Allwinner’s A64 quad-core ARM Cortex A53 64-Bit SoC. There are many operating systems available for the PINE A64-LTS created by the open source community and various partner projects. The PINE A64-LTS is guaranteed to be supplied until the year 2025 at the very least.

The "EXP" header, listed above, includes the TX, RX and GND pins for the serial console UART, also known as the debug UART, as visible in the picture in this section.  The pin numbers are silkscreened on the top side of the A64-LTS PCB, making navigation easy.

This can be used to access the serial console of the boot loader, for example, which is often invaluable for debugging boot issues.  To actually access the serial console, you can use these pins to connect, for example, a USB UART adapter that supports 3.3&nbsp;V on the RX and TX lines, such as the [https://pine64.com/product/serial-console-woodpecker-edition/ "Woodpecker" USB UART adapter] offered by the Pine Store.

{{Warning|Older PCB revision of the "Woodpecker" USB UART adapter has a fixable hardware issue that is described in detail in a [[:File:Pine64-usb-uart-woodpecker-product-change-note-20221207.pdf|product change note]], which includes the way to check is your adapter affected.  In a nutshell, the 3.3&nbsp;V mode of the older "Woodpecker" adapters sold by the Pine Store is unreliable, but the hardware fix is available.  Newer "Woodpecker" adapters sold by the Pine Store are not affected by this issue.}}

Taking the "Woodpecker" USB UART adapter as an example, its pins should be connected to the pins of the "EXP" header as described in the table below, with the "5V" and "3V3" pins of the "Woodpecker" left unconnected.  The voltage selection jumper found on the "Woodpecker" must be placed in the "3V3" position, as silkscreened on the top side of the "Woodpecker" PCB.

The PINE A64-LTS

The PINE64-LTS is the long term supply version of the PINE A64 (+), PINE64's first single board computer, powered by Allwinner’s A64 quad-core ARM Cortex A53 64-Bit SoC. There are many operating systems available for the PINE A64-LTS created by the open source community and various partner projects. The PINE A64-LTS is guaranteed to be supplied until the year 2025 at the very least.

Software releases

The SOPINE operating system images are compatible with PINE A64-LTS. Under SOPINE Software Releases you will find a complete list of currently supported operating system images, which work with the PINE A64-LTS, as well as other related software.

Serial console UART

An excerpt from the A64-LTS schematic, showing the "EXP" header pinout

The "EXP" header, listed above, includes the TX, RX and GND pins for the serial console UART, also known as the debug UART, as visible in the picture in this section. The pin numbers are silkscreened on the top side of the A64-LTS PCB, making navigation easy.

This can be used to access the serial console of the boot loader, for example, which is often invaluable for debugging boot issues. To actually access the serial console, you can use these pins to connect, for example, a USB UART adapter that supports 3.3 V on the RX and TX lines, such as the "Woodpecker" USB UART adapter offered by the Pine Store.

Warning: Older PCB revision of the "Woodpecker" USB UART adapter has a fixable hardware issue that is described in detail in a product change note, which includes the way to check is your adapter affected. In a nutshell, the 3.3 V mode of the older "Woodpecker" adapters sold by the Pine Store is unreliable, but the hardware fix is available. Newer "Woodpecker" adapters sold by the Pine Store are not affected by this issue.

Taking the "Woodpecker" USB UART adapter as an example, its pins should be connected to the pins of the "EXP" header as described in the table below, with the "5V" and "3V3" pins of the "Woodpecker" left unconnected. The voltage selection jumper found on the "Woodpecker" must be placed in the "3V3" position, as silkscreened on the top side of the "Woodpecker" PCB.

"Woodpecker" pin "EXP" header pin name "EXP" header pin number
TxD PB9_RX 8
RxD PB8_TX 7
GND GND (or GND1) 9 (or 6)
