What is the format that one should use for imaging SD cards on APINE64+2GB Board? - Doryan - 03-05-2018
What is the format that one should use for imaging SD cards on APINE64+2GB Board?
Would it be FAT32, maybe? With all due respect, I bought my PINE64 a while ago, probably over a year now, but I honestly have never been able to make it run any OS. It's probably the worst investment of my life, considering that I haven't even been able to do anything with it, unlike my Rpi 2 which has never given me any issues with any OS installed on the several SD cards that I own.
What also gets me, is that now there's like four different models, which makes me realize this product probably was a failure.

Most likely is EXT4 format which is popular among Linux environment. EXT4 format more robust than FAT32.
