Title: A Quad Core Pi-Zero? No... Its a Banana Pi BM2.
Post by Fernando on Oct 31^st, 2017, 1:55am

It's finally out. After months of teasing and product shots, it is finally out. For $15 at Aliexpress ($22 total with shipping).

Same footprint size and ports as the R-Pi 0W, including Wifi and Bluetooth and 512MB RAM. It uses the H2 Quad Core CPU as used in the Orange Pi Zero. Thing is it may require an external antenna, there is a jack for it on the board. Do not know if it is included.

This is Banana Pi's only H2 entry in the Pi race. So there might be bugs and issues though B-Pi in the past seemed to clear them out immediately. Perhaps this was the delay?
