I don't doubt that it works for some things, but if you put GPIO on a SBC, you should offer interrupt driven access to the pins! It's unbelievable that Pine does not. Notice also the lack of Pine reply to this thread. I assume that you're not using GPIO. If you are you are polling and that's inexcusable.
I'm polling nothing. I'm giving a personal opinion on my experience with the Rock64. You may not like to hear about someone who it has actually worked for.
I wanted a powerful enough processor with plenty of memory overhead that could run my home automation system and that's what I got. If I'd wanted a GPIO tinker board I'd have opted for one of the many tried and tested Raspberry Pi's.
I did my research first unlike many here who jumped on the Rock64 bandwagon before it was off the production line and now want a refund.
