Just a quick reminder that due to the current DRAM/eMMC shortage, there isn’t any plans to continue producing more Linux devices in the near future. Whether production continues or not depends on the pricing situation for those components after mid 2027. > Devices like the PineNote and PineTab2 are currently estimated to run out of stock in three months time. Just pre-warning everyone in case people start asking when things are going to be in stock again. > Meanwhile, devices like the PineTime, PineVoice and Pinecil will continue production as usual! > As for the PineTime Pro, currently the demo firmware has basic drivers for the display, touch, motion, GPS, buttons, heat rate sensor (chip id only), battery charger, motor, microphone and the speaker. Though some issues do need to be ironed out first before a pilot batch begins production. > That’s it for this post, all in all it’s a bit bleak for the Linux devices, but in the meantime PineStore still have a great lineup of MCU powered devices which will continue to expand with more exciting devices. > Alrightttttt, have a great Monday! (or Tuesday, if you’re up that early) And: > PINE64 isn’t the only Linux-focused hardware provider caught in this price surge. > The Orange Pi Neo, a Linux-first handheld built with Manjaro, has been sitting on ice since earlier this year for the same reason. The project has been in development for two years and still has no launch date, all because DDR5 and SSD prices refuse to come back down.

Die immer weiter steigenden RAM- und Flash-Preise treffen jetzt auch PINE64. Aufgrund der hohen Kosten produziert der vor allem für seine Smartphones und Tablets bekannte Hardwaresteller ab sofort keine Linux-Hardware mehr. Das kündigte das Unternehmen auf Telegram an. Erst Mitte 2027 könnte die Produktion wieder anlaufen – wenn bis dahin die Speicherpreise gesunken sein sollten. Den noch vorhandenen Bestand verkauft PINE64 derzeit ab. Abhängig von der Nachfrage könnten das PineNote und das PineTab2 noch rund drei Monate lieferbar sein. Interessenten sollten folglich möglichst schnell zuschlagen. Nicht betroffen vom Produktionsstopp sind explizit PineTime, PineVoice und der Pinecil. Die noch in der Entwicklung befindliche PineTime Pro soll ebenfalls in die Produktion gehen, sobald einige Probleme behoben sind.

PineNote and PineTab2 stock is expected to run dry within three months.

Pine64 stellt die Fertigung aller Linux-Geräte ein — SBCs, PinePhone, PineTab2, PineNote. Der Engpass liegt bei eMMC, nicht beim Arbeitsspeicher.

PineNote and PineTab2 stock is expected to run dry within three months.

PINE64 has some bad news for Linux hardware fans. DRAM and eMMC shortages are putting new production on hold, while PineNote and PineTab2 supplies could run out within months.

Společnost PINE64 oznámila, že pozastavuje výrobu linuxových zařízení kvůli vysokým cenám komponent, zejména pamětí DRAM a eMMC. Zda bude výroba pokračovat, závisí na cenovém vývoji těchto komponent po polovině roku 2027, píše se v oznámení. Odhaduje se, že zařízení jako PineNote a PineTab2 budou vyprodaná přibližně za tři měsíce. Všechna zařízení zatím ovlivněna nejsou, výroba PineTime, PineVoice a Pinecil bude pokračovat podle původních plánů. Společnost byla opatrná i při zmínce o možném nástupci modelu PinePhone. PinePhone 2 není zcela vyloučen, ale společnost uvádí, že jej v současné době neplánuje. Výroba nového zařízení by představovala značné finanční riziko a žádný čip dostupný na trhu prý nesplňuje požadavky na takový přístroj. Firma zdůrazňuje, že neopouští Linux ani neukončuje softwarovou podporu pro svůj stávající hardware. Společnost pouze dočasně pozastavuje výrobu nových linuxových zařízení, dokud se situace na trhu nezlepší.

因 DRAM 和 eMMC 持续短缺，香港电脑制造商 PINE64 宣布暂停 Linux 设备生产，未来是否恢复生产将取决于 2027 年中期之后的组件价格。该公司现有的 Linux 平板 PineNote 和 PineTab2 库存可能在大约三个月内售罄。PineTime、PineVoice 和 Pinecil 的生产则将照常进行。Pine64 创办于 2015 年，产品包括了单板电脑、笔记本电脑、智能手机和智能手表等。

Fairphone is finally bringing a smartphone to the US market. Framework is upgrading its cheapest laptop. And RAMageddon claims another victim. Here's a roundup of recent tech news from around the web. Pine64 is halting production of Linux devices like the PineTab2 tablet and PineNote E Ink slate due to the DRAM/eMMC shortage, and will reevaluate based on pricing & availability in mid 2027. Non-Linux devices like the PineTime and Pinecil will continue. www.cnx-software.com/2026/08/19/p... — Liliputing (@liliputing.bsky.social) August 19, 2026 at 12:41 PM The new Framework Laptop 12 is now available with Intel Core 3 "Wildcat Lake" processor options for $549 and up, longer battery life, and options for a backlit keyboard and fingerprint reader.

If you’ve been eyeing up one of PINE64‘s Linux-friendly single-board computers, phones or tablets, now is the time to buy one. The open-hardware company has announced it will stop “producing more Linux devices” for the time being, and said it expects its existing stock of certain devices, including the PineNote and PineTab 2, to sell out in the next three months. Obviously, RAMaggeddon is to blame. The AI infrastructure boom continues apace, with demand for memory and storage chips continuing to reduce supply and drive up costs.
