Well, I'm not sure it qualifies as an adapter... but my cheapie (and extremely flexible!) adapter would probably consist of a set of male to female dupont leads and some double sided tape! Smile And a dremel through the lid if the connectors won't fit under... exposing the whole RPi header while I was at it!

If it is RPi pin-compatible, I think we can all guess the answer there! Would make it a bit more useful also if you have a RPi, as you could swap it between pine64 and RPi if you wanted.
I was more thinking of a small piece of pcb with suitable headers, 2x4 male on top and either 2x17 or 2x4 female below. 2x17 would fill the Euler bus header, 2x4 is all that is needed. 

As for RPi compatibility I guess you're right (many of us probably have at least one Pi) but my question is not about a possible add-on hardware compatibility between different SBC families but why they changed from the Euler bus to the Pi bus at all? If the adapter pcb was introduced because of Sigma Design's boycott, why switch bus? It's not like the new module doesn't fit the Euler bus, all you need are two data pins and VCC/GND.
