Banana Pi BPI-M64 is a 64-bit quad-core mini single board computer. It features 2GB of RAM and 8GB eMMC. It also has onboard WiFi and BT. On the ports side, the BPI-M64 has 2 USB A 2.0 ports, 1 USB OTG port, 1 HDMI port, 1 audio jack, and lastly a DC power port. The processor is pin-to-pin comptialbe with R18, so it comes with two versions:M64 and M64-R18.
Also being a member of the Banana Pi family, the M64 is a big jump from the octa-core BPI-M3. This is because this Banana Pi BPI is named after its 64-bit SoC. BPI-M64 will be reserved for an upcoming board
BPI-M64 is an open platform device, it is for anyone who wants to play and build with developer technology instead of simply using consumer technology. Backed by our community, starting a project and building servers is fun and rewarding. We welcome all companies, DIYers, and tech loving people within our community! Together, we can make a difference, we can discover our passions, inspire others, and build a practical project.

Windows 10 IoT Core for BPI-M64 Release Note
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI]) is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. UEFI replaces the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware interface originally present in all IBM PC-compatible personal computers AllWinner UEFI Firmware Release Notes
This document describes how to build AllWinner UEFI Firmware and bring a AllWinner dev board up with it. The AllWinner UEFI Firmware, as the major boot system for AllWinner-Windows platform, is based on the EDK2 framework which is open-source and with some AllWinner platform software packages injected.
Known Issues:Kernel debug is enabled by default. This will slow the bring-up process. If a kernel debug is not necessary for you, visit Device Portal and navigate to Processes->Run Command page, run this command to disable : Bcdedit /store C:\EFIESP\EFI\Microsoft\boot\BCD /set {default} debug offAn PnP bug in audio device may cause a blue screen when acting software shutdownEthernet device may not start with problem code 12 at the first time to bring up
And another bomb! I uploaded core driver binaries and packaging toolchains on GitHub!

Some updates:1. Update the OS version to build v.10.0.15063.0 \(Creators Update\)2. New page style of Device Portal, visit () to check it3. Built-in Cortana assistant, need to be enabled in settings page in default app and Device Portal4. Support on-screen keyboard, need to be enabled in Device Portal5. Enable 100M Ethernet and fix some bugs6. Support built-in UART bus in A64 SoC\(not built in the ffu, later provide driver binary and deployment helper\)7. Support built-in IR module in A64 SoC\(not built in the ffu, later provide source code and dev doc for developers in community\)
