The BPI-M2 Zero is a compact SBC with quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU, HDMI, and GPIO compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero. It supports Linux distributions and is suited for small-scale robotics and embedded control systems.
Product Description
The Banana Pi M2 Zero is a credit-card-sized single-board computer designed to be a powerful yet ultra-compact option in the Banana Pi lineup. Its form factor mirrors that of the Raspberry Pi Zero W, allowing compatibility with many of the same cases and accessories—a convenient advantage for makers and hobbyists. The Banana Pi M2 Zero is a tiny yet capable SBC that blends form-factor familiarity with enhanced multimedia and connectivity. Its quad-core CPU, video capabilities, wireless modules, and Raspberry Pi–like interface make it a versatile platform for DIY electronics, media appliances, and embedded systems. If you'd like, I can help you compare it with Raspberry Pi Zero W or suggest compatible accessories and enclosures. Core Features
- Processor: Equipped with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7, using either the Allwinner H3, H2+, or optional H5 chip, providing efficient multitasking and capable media decoding
- Memory: 512 MB DDR3 SDRAM, shared with GPU
- Wireless: Onboard Wi-Fi (AP6212 module) with optional AP6181 or AP6335 variants.
- Mini HDMI (1080p @ 30 fps), and CSI camera interface.
- MicroSD slot supporting up to 64 GB.
- One USB 2.0 OTG port, micro‑USB power input (5 V/2 A).
- 40-pin GPIO header, largely compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 pinouts (UART, SPI, I²C, PWM, etc.).
