PineH64

H6-based SBC from PINE64. Two models exist, a discontinued Model A, and the replacement Model B.

= Identification = There is a pine cone like logo on the top silk screen, also it says "Pine H64" under the logo. Also on the SoC there is a quite prominent "H6" print.

The board has two variants, Model A and Model B. Model A has the same size with a Pine A64+ and is equipped with a PCIe slot; Model B dropped the slot, and has the form factor of an RPi model B. The Model A variant has been discontinued and is no longer sold. It has been superseded by the Model B.

The board has various revisions, many of them are engineering samples, only two revisions will be the final edition, one model A and one model B.

On the back of the device, the following is printed: Designed in Silicon Valley, California. Built in Silicon Delta, China.

For the first ES revision of Model A, The PCB has the following silkscreened on it (This revision is quite rare, and when you see it usually it will have a jumper wire because of a fault when designing the power circuit for LPDDR3.): PINE_H64_VER1.1 2017-10-26

For the second ES revision of Model A, The PCB has the following silkscreened on it: PINE_H64_VER1.1 2018-01-09

For the first ES revision of Model B, The PCB has the following silkscreened on it: PINE_H64_MODEL_B 2018-05-26

At least one revision of Model B has the following silkscreened on it: PINE_H64_MODEL_B 2018-10-17

Currently shipping Model B units (as of 2019-12-30) have the following silkscreen: PINE_H64_MODEL_B 2018-12-12
