Pine64 is a family of single-board computers and the name of the company that produces them. Their first single-board computer, the Pine A64, was designed to compete with the Raspberry Pi in both power and price. Its name descends from the constant variables pi and Euler's constant. The A64 was first funded through a Kickstarter crowdfunding drive in December 2015,[1] where the company raised over $1.4 million.[2][3] The computer was released in three feature variations.[4] While the 512 MB model only works with Arch Linux and Debian Linux distributions, the models with more memory can run distributions including Android, Remix OS, and Ubuntu.[5]

Its Linux.com reviewer was surprised at his ability to have the full, albeit slow, Linux desktop environment at the A64's price.[6] Make wrote that the A64's closest analog was the DragonBoard, at two to three times the A64's price.[7] Yahoo News said that the A64 continued the Raspberry Pi's trend of breaking barriers for engineers.[8]
