This is the SoPine board running an hdmi version of Android 5.1. I have had this sopine running as my primary play-desk for several weeks now preparing to run a flavor of gentoo linux on it shortly;  boxed in an ABS server box. 

I have powered the board via euler bus and PI filter. I am using an older Samsung monitor for this play-desk so I am using the hdmi-->vga adapter ( provided by the Pine store ) , a logitech keyboard K400r with trackpad, and the OpenHour IR controller for screen | mouse  controls.

Note:  the heatsink covers both the gpu|cpu (A64) and the new RAM chip which is a layered technology containing 2G of RAM on a single chip !  I'm using passive cooling here; however, will have a fan in the ABS case once I get gnu+linux running on the sodimm module. 

All is good.  The only negative at all is that the SD card cannot be swapped out without removing the sodimm module from the mother board.  

Again I'm using machine screws for supports; and the lipo battery from the Pine store;  U.S. only.
