Banana Pi BPI-M3 series run Android, Debian linux, Ubuntu linux,Raspbian image and other OS. Banana PI PBI-M3 hardware: 1.8GHz ARM Cortex-A7 octa-core processor, 2GB LPDDR3 SDRAM, 8G eMMC flash on board Banana PI BPI-M3with Gigabit Ethernet port, It can run Android 5.1 smoothly. The size of Banana PI BPI-M3 same as Banana Pi M1, it can play games at 1080P, the GPIO header is pin-compatible with Raspberry Pi and can run the ROM Image The Banana Pi BPI-M3 is SinoVoip latest single board computer equipped with an Octa Core processor using the A83T TSMC 28nm chip,based on eight ARM Cortex-A7 CPU core operating at high frequency up to 2.0GHZ.Board hardware specs include 2G LPDDR3 memory operating frequency up to 800Mhz capable of smooth playback at 1901200HD resoltion.Following the A31/A31s design A83T has a PowerVR SG544 GPU runs at frequencies up to around 700MHZ with high image processing performance ensuring the ultimate gaming experience and fluency. In Multimedia processing,A83T can play 1080P@60fbs including 1080P@20fps videos with H.265 codec support,More than sufficient to meet the needs of end-users daily audio-visiual entertainment. A83T built ISP image signal processor can support 8MP camera interface and also integrates a full-color display Lai Chip technology that enhances image display quality,not only for the end-users,it brings a more vivid visual experience,while optimizing degree in pastel colors and enhance the end-user,even minimizing eyesight damages especially to children. Integrated full hardware security system is another major feature of the A83T supports DRM solutions which include high- grade Widevine Level1. HDCP 2.* for Miracast support secure boot \secure storage capabilities to ensure the security system and data.In the power saving area 28nm advanced technology uses high energy-effieient.Cortex-A7 architecture,Performance and power consumption is very balanced in the PoweVR 5 GPU series due to software optimization. 3 About BPI-M3 forum: http://www.banana-pi.org forum: http://www.bananapi.com product: http://www.banana-pi.com Video: Banana Pi BPI-M3 UNBOXING + Quickstart https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=308&v=uvW72fhhz48 4 BPI-M3 hardware Banana pi BPI-M3 octa-core development board 5 BPI-M3 hardware BPI-M3 use allwinner A83T chip on board. but also can support H8, R58 chip on board. but software need to do some change，when software boot , allwinner source code will check Chip ID and PMU IP, just need change this,all code will can run on three boards. so if you want use allwinner H8 or R58. it is easy to development software. 6 BPI-M3 hardware BPI-M3-H with H8 chip on board: test android 5.1.1 on BPI-M3-H: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUCOKEDcUGA&feature=youtu.be BPI-M3-R with R58 chip on board: 7 BPI-M3 hardware test android 5.1.1 on BPI-M3-R: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEZqG5yqCcY&feature=youtu.be 8 BPI-M3 hardware interface BPI-M3 hardware interface BPI-M3 power with microUSB power (option) BPI-M3 power with DC port (default) 9 BPI-M3 hardware interface NOTE: SATA port use USB 2.0 to SATA interface. 10 BPI-M3 hardware spec BPI-M3 hardware spec Hardware Specification of Banana pi BPI-M3 Soc Allwinner A83T ARM Cortex-A7 CPU A83T ARM Cortex-A7 octa-core,512 KB L1 cache 1 MB L2 cache GPU PowerVR SGX544MP1· Comply with OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenCL 1.x, DX 9.3 SDRAM 2GB LPDDR3 with 733MHz(shared with GPU) Power 5V @ 2A via micro USB power 40 Pins Header, 28×GPIO, some of which can be used for specific functions including UART, I2C, SPI, GPIO PWM, I2S.
