Banana Pi BPI-P2 Pro
Contents
Introduction
Banana Pi BPI-P2 pro is a development board based on RK3308B-S chip developed by armsom company. With a high-performance 4-core ARM Cortex-A35 processor, it provides a high-performance external memory interface (16bit DDR2/DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR2). The chip has a wealth of interfaces, such as I2S,PCM,TDM, I2C,UART,SPDIF,HDMI ARC, etc., to meet the application of different products. RK3308 has a rich voice interface, its own eight ADC interface, multi-channel I2S and multi-channel PDM interface. This not only provides customers with a wealth of interface choices, but also can reduce the hardware design difficulty and hardware design cost of products.
Banana Pi BPI-P2 Pro has 512MB DDR3 memory size, operating system and storage can use SD card or emmc. armsom-p2pro is available as an onboard storage version with 1Gb/2Gb/4Gb/8Gb NAND flash
