Banana Pi is the generic name of a family of open source computer boards capable of running Linux and Android 4.4. The dual-core models featured an AllWinner A20 SoC with ARM Cortex-A7 CPU cores and 1GB of memory. Subsequent models feature the Allwinner quad-core Cortex-A7 A31S and octa-core A83T SoCs.
