Quoting this blog post by Pine64:
Quote:“both PSUs are based on reference designs, but we have made significant improvements to the internals so they are more performant than existing offerings”. Despite both designs being generic, the PSUs have had improvements made to their performance and undergone certification.So no, they are not just rebranded uncertified devices (which also wouldn't fit what Pine64 does). I don't know if the schematics have been released though, but you can find more details and pictures from the internals of the 120W version in the wiki.
We prefer not release the PinePower schematic due to the high voltage nature. The worry on user may hack the device and potential case personal injury.
