Description
PINE H64 Model B
The PINE H64 Model B is a Single Board Computer by PINE64. The form factor of the board has changed from the PINE H64 model A to the smaller Rock64/Raspberry Pi footprint. The basic layout of the I/O on the PINE H64-B also mirrors that of the Rock64, including the position of the eMMC module socket, microSD slot, USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports, as well as digital audio and power connectors. This means that existing cases designed for the Rock64 will also fit the new PINE H64 Model B.
The H64-B is powered by an Allwinner “H6” Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53 @ 1.8GHz 64-Bit Processor with MALI-T720 MP2 GPU @ 600Mhz. The PINE H64-B is equipped with either 2GB or 3GB RAM of system memory and 128Mbit SPI boot Flash. There is also an eMMC module socket for optionally adding an eMMC up to 128GB and microSD slot for booting. The board is equipped with 1x USB 3.0 Host, 2x USB 2.0 Host, Gigabit Ethernet, PI-2 GPIO Bus, as well as many other peripheral device interface such as UART, SPI, I2C, for makers who wish to integrate with sensors and other peripherals.
Additional items required to operate – see “NOT INCLUDED” section below

NOT INCLUDED
- No power supply included – Consider a Pine 5DCV/3A power supply available on this site
- No microSD or eMMC card included – eMMC memory is much faster than microSD memory
- No case included
- No HDMI cable included – needed to connect to a display device. Recommend HDMI2.0 cable to support 4K output
- USB-UART module highly recommended for tinkering with u-boot, kernels, multiple installs and more
NOTES
- Although the Allwinner H6 SoC technically supports PCIe, it has been reported that the implementation is broken. Therefore, no PCIe interface is available on the H64-B.
- SoC video support: Ultra HD 4k and Full HD 1080p video decoding of MPEG-2, MPEG-4 SP/ASP GMC, H.263, H.264, H.265, WMV9/VC-1, and VP8, BD Directory, BD ISO and BD m2ts video decoding, H.264 High Profile 1080P@60fps encoding, 3840×1080,1920×2160 3D decoding, Complies with RTSP, HTTP,HLS,RTMP,MMS streaming media protocol
