Pine H64 1Gb|2Gb "out of stock"

[CaptainZalo]

Would it be possible to add an M.2 PCIe slot for NVMe or breakout-board for extenders on the bottom of a future H64 in RPi form factor? Stackable enclosures would also be a nice way of expanding the H64 to a desktop replacement or clustering purposes.

The HPC group at the Uni I work at are considering testing out miniclusters on ARM. At the moment, they're looking at a Cray solution. H64 could be a great way to do entry-level case studies or lower cost livetesting without breaking the compute clusters in production.

Unless there is a suitable NVMe driver that can runs on H64 "model A" board, the board that same size as PINE A64, we not no plan to ass M.2 slot at the back for H64 "model B" based. based on currently layout complexity, adding M.2 this will push the PCB layer from 6 layer to 8 layer.

I've talked to Ole, one of our compute guys, and he got fired up about the "model A" board. There might be an order coming from us soon.  Also, I didn't know the M.2 PCIe port would be that much hassle.
