The PINE H64 Model B

The PINE H64 Model B is a Single Board Computer by PINE64. It is powered by an Allwinner “H6” Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53 64-Bit Processor with a MALI T-722 GPU. The PINE H64 is equipped with up to 3GB of LPDDR3 PC-1600 system memory and 128Mbit of SPI boot Flash. There is also an optional eMMC module (up to 128GB) and a microSD slot for booting. The board is equipped with an onboard 802.11n Wifi/BT chipset, one USB 3.0 host port, two USB 2.0 host ports, Gigabit Ethernet, a PI-2 GPIO bus, an Euler GPIO bus as well as many other peripheral device interfaces such as UART, SPI, and I2C.
