The A64 was first funded through a Kickstarter<\/a> crowdfunding<\/a> drive in December 2015 which raised over $1.7 million. The Kickstarter project was overshadowed by delays and shipping problems. The original Kickstarter page referred to the Pine64 Inc. based in Delaware, but all devices for the Kickstarter campaign were manufactured and sold by Pine Microsystems Inc. based in Fremont, California<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In January 2020, Pine Microsystems Inc. was dissolved while Pine Store Limited was incorporated on December 5, 2019 in Hong Kong<\/a>. As of late 2020, the standard form contract<\/a> of pine64.com<\/a> binds all orders to the laws of Malaysia<\/a>, while the products are shipped from warehouses in Hong Kong<\/a> and Shenzhen<\/a>, PRC<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" History Pine64 initially operated as Pine Microsystems Inc.
