The PINE A64-LTS
The SOPINE A64

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 SOPINE A64 is a compute module powered by the same Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53 64-Bit Processor used in the PINE A64 with 2G LPDDR3 RAM memory, Power Management Unit, SPI Flash and integrated MicroSD Slot (for bootable OS images microSD card). The SOPINE module has a 5 years LTS (Long Term Supply) status, which means that it will be supplied to 2022 at the very least. There is a one year warranty period for the SOPINE module. This tiny compute module uses SODIMM-DDR3 form-factor and can be paired with either the Clusterboard, the Baseboard or a custom host PCB for industrial or other embedded applications. It is fully compatible with the PINE A64-LTS in terms of software support

Software releases

Important: The SOPine operating system images are compatible with PINE A64-LTS.

Please see SOPINE Software Release for a complete list of currently supported operating system images that work with the SOPine, as well as other related software. For a quick reference, the list includes the following operating system images:

Below is a list of links to the build sources and environments for some operating system images. Some of themare labelled as beta or nightly builds, which means they are fit for testing purposes only. Those images should be used at your own risk and are not fit for regular use.
