Title: Banana Pi BPI-M4, a Raspberry Pi clone that packs a more powerful SoC and costs just US$35
Post by: Redaktion on June 14, 2019, 11:58:41
The Banana Pi BPI-M4 is a mouthful, but it packs a punch thanks to its quad-core Realtek RTD1395 SoC with ARM Mali-470 MP4 graphics, 1 GB of DDR4 RAM and 8 GB of eMMC flash storage. The developer board is a dead ringer for the Raspberry Pi 3B+ and is compatible with most HATs too. The Banana Pi BPI-M4 currently ships worldwide from AliExpress for US$35.

Great, another SBC with no RAM, no documentation, and no software support.

Came across a interesting clone board yesterday on facebook. Says all parts are swapable. Interesting concept, but doesnt look like its in production yet. Maybe something to keep a eye on.
