Banana Pi BPI-M2 Berry Single Board Computer
Banana Pi BPI-M2 Berry is a quad-core mini single-board computer built with Allwinner A40i SoC. It features 1GB of RAM. It also has onboard WiFi and BT. On the ports side, the BPI-M2 Ultra has 4 USB A 2.0 ports, 1 USB OTG port, 1 HDMI port, 1 audio jack, and last but not least, a SATA port.
Also being a member of the Banana Pi family, the M2 Berry is a direct upgrade from the Banana Pi M1/M1+ that supports SATA from the SoC. The SATA performance on the V40 is fitting for media-related projects such as storage servers. 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.
All sizes are the same as the Raspberry Pi 3, so you can use the Raspberry Pi 3 case for BPI-M2 Berry.
