I have a couple of the Pine64 boards that run Linux. Unless something changed, it doesn't have WiFi or BLE support, and likely never will.

I think it does: https://github.com/bouffalolab/bl-pac/tree/main/bl808

Thanks! It wasn't on the awsome rust embedded github yet, but when I dig in I found it. The bl602 does support wifi, but only 2.4 and I presume at lower rates. It definitely doesn't run linux though. But I wouldn't put it past someone to figure out a way.

Sorry I was thinking of the 0x64, although it's entirely possible to get some form of Linux running.
