F.A.Q.

1) Can I upgrade to the 2GB model ?
Yes. You can upgrade to the 2GB model in any package where the A64 is included.  The only board that is not upgradeable is the A64 0 version.
2) Is Android Included? 
No. Android 5.1.1 is not included unless specified in the package you have purchased. however, you will be able to download the latest Android 5.1.1 package after the campaign is over and install it on your own MicroSD card or purchase a MicroSD card with Android 5.1.1 preinstalled. 
3) How do I buy accessories 
You can buy accessories such as keyboard and mouse after the campaign is over. We will send you a link to our store portal to add any additional accessories you require. 
4) Where can I get cases or enclosures? 
The cases and enclosure designs will all be free for you to download (STL /STP files) for you to print yourself, or you can buy the case from us through the PINE64 store after the campaign is over.  (Approx $6-10 bucks) 
5) How do I buy additional boards? 
Just pledge 1 board now, and you can upgrade and buy additional boards after the campaign is over through Backerkit, our pledge portal. 
6) Are you guys supporting other OSes?
Yes. We are in contact with a few other kernel developers and will work on integrations with other Linux OSes.

Sorry I didn't understand what you meant! If you're asking why I am doing this: I am new to Rhasberry PI, Arduino and obviously PineA64 so trying to do this was a learning exercise :-) Also by the time the backerkit comes by, I want something to refer on and decide what I will add. Since I was going to do it for myself, might as well do for the community right?

Wow, this is a very useful reference page, thanks carlosviansi!

Will you be updating this page periodically with new information?

Yes I intend to do so since I do hope to stay up to date from their channels But I may need to move it up for the wiki. Currently there is a limit to only post a maximum of 10 images and 1 video, so just a endless list of links on the long run may look hard to navigate.   Lim, one of the project creators noted he would put me in touch with someone to make the boards more friendly and perhaps organized as more content flows in.
