Pine64 single board computer

Does anyone here have any experience folding using the Pine64 Single Board Computer?

At $15 a piece I was wondering if a cluster might be an economical folding setup.

As its ARM your only current chance is the Sony Android client; disconnected from you classical donor achievements.

I was once thinking to get a bunch of odroids for the same reason but not further steps taken until some basic questions from Sony got answered.

As would seem sensible considering what it is, the PINE uses an A53 ARM Processor, marketed by ARM as a stand-alone, more energy-efficient alternative to the more powerful Cortex-A57 microarchitecture.

So the CPU is not intended for heavy number crunching.

I do not know a great deal about the Sony implementation:
Does it use multiple cores like the V7 app?
Does it use SIMD like the V7 app?
Does it use the GPU, like the V7 app?

I doubt the Pande Group know the answers to those questions, I know I don't.

It is entirely possible that one reason no scores are generated by the Sony app is that it can't do 1 PPD, so it would always add 0 to your score. (If the answer to all those questions is 'yes' I suspect it gets 10 PPD)

If it is both supported by Android as it claims and supported by Sony, which it could be, it would do as well as a cheap phone.
