It is said that Banana Pi is the Raspberry Pi’s clone, yes, it is admitted that the both are very similar, but we would like to say Banana Pi more function than Raspberry Pi. Because Banana Pi can be compatible with Raspberry.
Advantage 1: Chip is totally different.
Raspberry Pi uses Broadcom ARM11 kernel, while Banana Pi uses ARM Cortex-A7 ( A20 CPU ). Banana Pi has more special functions by ARM V7 Schema, and can be compatible with ARM V6.
Advantage 2: Reasonable design
Each size is different from each other. Please noted: The case for protecting themselves is different from each other, so they can not share with them.
Advantage 3： More interfaces
It is especially obvious that Banana Pi has added more functions which Raspberry Pi don’t have, such as SATA port, IR receiver, OTG, Power switch, Reset Switch, Gigabit Internet.
Advantage 4: The LCD LVDS interface and camera interface are totally different from . So you can’t use the Banana Pi Camera for Raspberry Pi. In addition, Raspberry Pi can’t support the DSI interface, while Banana Pi can support it using peripheral equipment.
Summary
Banana Pi is similar with Raspberry Pi, but more functions than it. It is not only a clone of Raspberry Pi, it can be compatible with it.
