I don't know exactly what you're looking for but NetBSD should work fine.

I'm not sure how to use this do i just flash my SD Card with the Pine64 software on the Net BSD site or do i need to do some thing different?
Thank you for your help

Thank you for your help

you would download this image: https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/arm/NetBSD-...e64.img.gz

then use etcher (or similar app, like the Pine64 branded one) to write the img to your SD

there's also several other OS options here: https://pine64.org/documentation/Pine_A64/Software/

Did you download the Android img fro the old wiki or the newer documentation page? The wiki is full of a lot of older/abandoned imgs, such as Android. Try pulling something else from the documentation page I linked above instead.

The link you gave me takes me to the same place where i downloaded the android 8.1 that is all i found i looked for older ones and cant find them.

that makes sense then, that android download is not a useable img, it's just the sdk. it will not boot from an sd card. is android your desired img to boot on your A64? if so, those imgs are all very out of date/abandoned. but you can find some here: https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/android...tag/0.3.10
