Stretch with kernel 4.19.y (Bionic builds lack web-gl support within Chromium for unknown reason)
https://www.armbian.com/pinebook-a64/ (admin, please don't link directly to the images yet since URL will be changed once it's released)
Images are in a developer preview state, upgrades are locked down, ... but most critical functions (except suspend/resume) are working which means build is usable and (need more testing) stable. It's faster and cleaner - no proprietary Allwinner junk - than legacy builds, most of existing compilations ... Mainly based on @anarsoul kernel work + a bunch of our generic A64, kernel and userspace fixes and adjustments.
One image for both Pinebooks!
working: DVFS, battery and brightness control, 3D MALI with open source Lima drivers, Chromium web-dl enabled, profile cached, ...
not enabled or not tested: BT, suspend/resume, sound
There is still a lot of work to get to the pitch perfect state. Thank you for your support!
