If this is a "list of lists" it would be clearer with heavier
punctuation.
FriendlyARM NanoPi A64;
Olimex A64-OLinuXino and TERES-A64;
PINE64 PINE A64/A64+/A64-LTS, SOPINE, and Pinebook;
SINOVOIP Banana Pi BPI-M64; and
Xunlong Orange Pi Win(Plus).
(Also changing capitalisation for a couple of brandnames to match what
I see upstream, and squeezing a few easily compressed alternatives)
