Sure, you can install and upgrade everything what is in the Ubuntu ports repository for arm64 (http://ports.ubuntu.com/).

I do not provide packaging for Kernel, initrd and boot - so those cannot be upgraded through packaging.

I built a new Ubuntu Xenial image incorporating the latest changes to U-Boot and Kernel. It also adds the platform scripts i use, does automatically keep the Ethernet MAC address in uEnv.txt and re-enables CPU cores automatically if they got disabled by thermal throttling / overheating.

Get 20160306-1 from https://www.stdin.xyz/downloads/people/longsleep/pine64-images/ubuntu/

As always, for a list of changes and full details see the first post in this thread.

For installing image to SD card from Windows there is tool called Win32DiskImager
https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

Tool can also read data from SD card and write it to .img file. You can therefore use it to make backups of your SD cards (might be handy for experiments   )

Under linux you can achieve both things with appropriate syntax of dd command.

They are preinstalled with my latest images (in /usr/local/sbin).

This is a pretty lightweight monitoring solution collecting system health data in round robin databases and rendering the stuff inside a browser window. 

For use cases and examples have a look into the benchmarking thread or at this picture:
