The Project "Anakin" - Phase 1 of PINE64 SmartPhone "PinePhone" Developer Kit
The Project Anakin is a marsh-up kit for PINE64 SmartPhone "PinePhone" first phase developer kit. PinePhone schedule totally has three phase, second phase code name "Don't be evil" plan to introduce on FOSDEM 2019 and third phase PinePhone itself will be released on Q3 2019 pending on software development. The Anakin kit consists of following components:
- SoPine Module
- SoPine Model A baseboard
- Pine A64 Wifi/BT module
- 16GB eMMC module
- 5 Mega Piixel CMOS Camera Sensor
- 7" Touch Screen LCD Panel
- Playbox Enclosure
- Lithium Ion Battery case (note: battery not included, can accommodate 1-3 pieces of 18650 szie Lithium Ion batter. In general, one is good enough)
- Quectel EC20 R2.1 LTE Module (note: The SIM tray design not distinguish polarity well and all reverse slot in)
You can also flash an OS image manually; please follow the instructions below.
