The first release is 64-bit Lollipop 5.1.1, we plan to support Android Marshmallow 6.0.

Thanks for the support ! it will be a better support than many phone manufacturers....
Is it a stock or a custom version of Android ? With GApps included or as a ZIP-file like Cyanogen ? I intend to use it first as a media center, so apps like Kodi, Plex, tTorrent and so on are in official store but i understand that many users don't need GApps.
I'm looking forward to having fun with this board !

We try to release close to "stock" version as possible, so that user can customize them. There is a lot of ways to load app, we have included a file manager so that user can install their apps include GApps.

What about an integrated OTA update feature?

These updates will be provided only by Pine64, right?
Or can we support you anyhow with spreading updates?

The Android update only works on Pine A64+ board. Thanks and you are welcome to spread update.

Uhm... maybe I pronounced me indistinctly.
Can we support you to spread OTA Android updates? I mean the integrated update mechanism of Android.
