If there is a Linux kernel available, even an older version, then you can create an Ubuntu image (that compatible Linux kernel with the Ubuntu rootfs of your choice).

There is exactly one kernel available for the A64: A heavily patched 3.10.65 from Allwinner. And you will be surprised that everything that's really relevant for an ARM device to operate as an SBC does NOT depend on the contents of the rootfs.
I just walked through the SDK and had a laugh: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic...#entry3173
If the Pine guys don't get this resolved rather sooner than later the 'linux experience' will be a bit crappy in the beginning

We are currently working on Ubuntu Snappy Core first. If anybody interest on accelerating Ubuntu porting, please let us know and we can provide free Pine64 board and Linux BSP. The currently Linux kernel is 64bit version 3.10, and will release version 3.18 and version 4.2 in 3months and 6 months time.
There is a development already explored in CentOS by other party and will takes few months to port.

I have ported Ubuntu Snappy to ODROID-C. I can do the same for Pine64. See https://github.com/longsleep/snappy-odroidc for example and https://www.stdin.xyz/2015/06/14/snappy-...odroid-c1/ for the story. Let me know if you are interested.
