DietPi for Pine A64: Give your Pine A64 some lightweight justice.
http://DietPi.com

DietPi for Pine A64 is currently based on longsleeps's excellent simpleImage (U-boot + BSP kernel) with Debian Jessie (arm64) debootstrap (according to these instructions: https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port#Debootstrap_arm64 ).  The DietPi also make use of longsleep's u-boot and kernel update scripts to keep in sync with his ongoing development work.

As we still have some issues to iron out with Kodi and VNC and the kernel is still in development, DietPi for Pine A64 is currently in Alpha. Please report all bugs/issues on these forums or via a Git Ticket: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues. 

ALPHA notes:

• DietPi will release updates and patches on a regular basis which can be applied by running dietpi-update. This will allow you to instantly patch your system without having to writing a new image each time.
  
• Kernel and U-Boot updates are automatically applied with dietpi-config and utilize longsleep's update scripts.
  
• All non-GPU related software appears fully functional in the DietPi-Software catalogue: http://dietpi.com/software. So server based installations should not experience any issues.
  

NOTE:  I finally got a 512MB board.  This image appears to not work on these yet.  This has been corrected.

Known Issues

• Kodi: Not working at this time
  
• LXDE: Requires 16/24 bit to function (use 24bit for both LXDE and Kodi).
  
• BlueTooth: the bluetooth portion of the wifi/bluetooth board has not been tested yet.  This is on my ToDo list.
