The company has now announced a new single-board computer (SBC) that's closer to its roots in making challengers to the more famous Raspberry Pi.

At the FOSDEM open-source conferences in Brussels last weekend, Pine64 unveiled the HardRock64 SBC, which uses the same Rockchip RK3399 system on chip (SoC) it employed in last year's $200 PineBook Pro laptop.
Pine64 has followed the Raspberry Pi Foundation's move with the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B by offering three SKUs and matching the Raspberry Pi on price, too.

It's offering the HardRock64 in three LPDDR4 RAM configurations, including a 1GB RAM model for $35, a 2GB RAM model for $45, and one with 4GB of RAM for $55. Prices are "tentative", it warns, and so is the scheduled release date of April 2020.
The HardRock64 features two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, and supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0. There's also Gigabit Ethernet, 40-pin GPIO, an eMMC socket, mSD card slot, a fan and real-time clock headers, a heatsink mount, and more.
