Banana Pi BPI-R2 Pro Open Source Router, BPI R2 R2 Pro Single Board Computer

Introduction

Banana Pi BPI-R2 Pro is the next generation smart router development board from Banana Pi in 2021. It is powered by Rockchip RK 3568 processor. Onboard 2GB LPDDR4 memory and 16GB eMMC storage, and supports 2 USB 3.0 interface, 5-gigabit network port. M.2 key-E and mini PCIe interface, 2 MIPI DSI interface(one can change to LVDS by software), 1 CSI camera interface,1 HDMI output

BPI-R2 Pro same size as Banana Pi BPI-R2 and the interface is also the same .so can use the BPI-R2 case.
