Banana Pi is a line of single-board computers produced by the China company Shenzhen SINOVOIP Company, its spin-off Guangdong BiPai Technology Company, and supported by Hon Hai Technology (Foxconn). Its hardware design was influenced by the Raspberry Pi, and both lines use the same 40-pin I/O connector.

Banana Pi also can run NetBSD, Android, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch Linux and Raspberry Pi OS operating systems, but the CPU complies with the requirements of the Debian armhf port.[2] Most models use a MediaTek or Allwinner system on a chip with two or four ARM Cortex cores.

Series and generations

Banana Pi BPI-M1

The Banana Pi BPI-M1 features an Allwinner dual-core SoC at 1 GHz, 1GB of DDR3 SDRAM, Gigabit Ethernet, SATA, USB, and HDMI connections, and a built-in 3.7V Li-ion battery-charging circuit. It can run on a variety of operating systems, including Android, Ubuntu, Debian, and Raspberry Pi OS.

Neither Banana Pi nor Shenzhen SINOVOIP Company haa a direct relationship with the Raspberry Pi Foundation.[3] Linux User & Developer does not consider it a "direct clone, but a considerable evolution," whilst linux.com sees it as a clone with improved performance.[4][5]
