I fear I don't understand what you're doing. Are you trying this whole stuff only connected through SSH or do you use keyboard/display or serial console?
When changing network configuration over SSH chances are pretty high to lock yourself out. Also I would check whether the interface file's contents are case sensitive (Auto vs auto). And to be honest: Fiddling around with static text files in 2016 is a bit strange. Why not set the static IP address on the router instead (based on the MAC address) or use Bonjour (only an option if the Pine64 should be accessible from LAN only)?
