Banana PI

 

 Banana Pi is a single-board computer.  Banana Pi targets to be a cheap, small and flexible enough computer for daily life.  Built with ARM Cortex-A7 Dual-core CPU and Mali400MP2 GPU, and open source software, Banana Pi can serve as a platform to make lots of applications for different purposes.

** Due to limited power amperage from computer USB port , we suggest using 5V 2A external power adapter.

 

 

 

 

  Banana Pi has multiple extensible connectors for users to develop their own amazing projects and applications.   Most of common extension accessories Including LCD panel, touch screen, camera module, UART console and GPIO control pins are accessible from Banana Pi on-board connectors and headers.

 

 

 

  Banana Pi has 26-pins GPIO headers to extend the functions such as I2C, SPI, 5V and 3.3V output…etc.   There are also additional GPIO pins available for extension controls and daughter boards.  For instance, you can use those headers to connect an Arduino board for your projects.  Here could be the start point for your way of exciting applications. 

  CON3 is a DIP-26 headers.  The header pin definitions of CON3 are shown as below.

You can connect the headers for I2C, UART, SPI connections.  The 5V and 3.3 V power output are also available here.  Meanwhile, there are several pins free for GPIO pins for your specific usage.

 

 

 

 

* Those 5V pins(CON3 Pin2 & CON3 Pin4) are voltage output pins from BananaPi's PMIC(AXP209). They can NOT be power input pins from external power source. Otherwise, it may damage the BPi board.
 

  CON1 is an extensible on-board CSI connector of Banana Pi.  It is a 40-pin FPC connector which can connect external camera module with proper signal pin mappings.  The pin definitions of CON1 are shown as below.
