ROCK64 works for me
#1
Just received my Rock64.  I already have PIs, Wandboard Quads, Odroid-XU4, etc.  Loaded Stretch minimalon an SD, booted up and it booted right; everything worked.

I'll grant that I won't be using the multimedia features, but what I wanted was USB3, GB ethernet, quad core at a decent clock speed, and adequate RAM (4GB).  Not only that, this board is silent unlike the Odroid-XU4 which drives me a little crazy with the fan.

Currently, the Odroid functions as a NAS.  This board will replace it.  Very happy after spending a few hours doing Linuxy/Debiany type things with it.

I just wish there was a US distributor so it didn't take so long to get them.

pine64 at the very start did ship from California [to U.S. ], but stopped doing so after the incredibly botched kickstarter fulfillment process caused so many problems and many unhappy campaign supporters. my opinion is pine64 decided it was best to warehouse & ship only from China and since pine64 is such a small company with products that have very low margins i doubt they can afford any middlemen. it might change if they can get a string of strong products in inventory.
