I think that mrifixit2001 has just (as in literally 15 min ago) solved one of our major issues with the Recalbox build :
I have already been stupid and said 'soon' a month ago, but ... the build should be available soon (feel free to angrily poke at me with a stick if its not out in 2 weeks time).
As for:
If you are asking about double-booting; its already possible from what I understand, but you wouldn't have the option of a nice menu via HDMI but rather a text-based choice via UART. It is also my understanding that choosing between two images to boot will never be possible via HDMI on the Rock64 (please do not quote me on any of this as I may be completely wrong). There may or may not be other ways to dual-boot in the future - that I do not know. If you want a more precise explanation then please join the IRC and ask someone smart.
