Noted: For Allwinner H2+ chip is EOL, so BPI-M2 Zero will use H3 chip defaults. but the image for H2+ also supports H3, so all images are the same. support H2+ and H3 chip.


The Banana Pi M2 Zero is an ultra-compact single-board computer that measures only 65mm*30mm. Its external interfaces are the same as the Raspberry Pi Zero W, and it will fit almost all cases and accessories for the Zero W. It uses the quad-core Cortex A7 Allwinner H3/H2+processor, with 512MB RAM. It's ideal for lightweight systems and space-limited applications. Like other members of the Banana Pi family, it supports both Linux and Android operating systems.
