As we noted last month in our hacker board analysis piece, community-based SBC projects are increasingly specializing to survive in today’s Raspberry Pi dominated market. The launch of the phone, laptop, tablet, and camera represents the most ambitious expansion to date by an SBC vendor to new open source hardware form factors. There will also be a third rev of the popular, RK3399 based Rock64 board that adds Power-over-Ethernet support. The SBC entries are a Pine H64 Model B that will be replace the larger, but similarly Allwinner H6 based, Model A version and will add WiFi/Bluetooth. Pine64 also plans to release an Allwinner S3L-driven IP camera system called the CUBE and a Roshambo Retro-Gaming case that supports Pine64’s Rock64 and RockPro64, as well as the Raspberry Pi. There will be second, more consumer focused Pinebook laptop - a Rockchip RK3399 based, 14-inch Pinebook Pro - and an Allwinner A64-based, 10.1-inch PineTab tablet. The Linux-driven products will include a PinePhone development kit based on the Allwinner A64. Surprisingly, only two of the products are single board computers. At FOSDEM last weekend, California-based Linux hacker board vendor Pine64 previewed an extensive lineup of open source hardware it intends to release in 2019.
