¶ BPI-M2 Magic Introduction
Banana PI BPI-M2 Magic (BPi-M2M) is an efficient quad core solution designed for internet-of-things applications,Use allwinner R16 chip design ,also can use Allwinner A33 chip on board, which outperforms competitors in terms of its system performance, scalability, and energy-efficiency; it can be used for home entertainment, home automation, and high wireless performance and so on.
BPI-M2 Magic integrate four ARM Cortex-A7 CPU cores and Mali400MP2 graphics architecture, It also includes a variety of peripherals, BPI-M2 Magic with 512M DDR3，including 4 lane-MIPI DSI, LVDS, USB2.0 OTG/HOST,802.11 b/g/n wifi & BT4.0 onboard.
| BPI-M2 Magic not HDMI interface. Not support RJ45 interface |
BPI-M2 Magic can run with Android smoothly, it also can run Debian, Ubuntu linux, Raspberry Pi image and others OS. It can easily run with the game it support 1080P high definition video output, the GPIO compatible with Raspberry Pi B+ and can run the ROM Image
Allwinner R16 chip and A33 chip is PIN to PIN compatibility, so BPI-M2 Magic just replace R16 ,A33 chip onboard, easy to DIY new product.

| Notes : Because sd pins and uart0 pins are the same, so we have to use uart2 as debug console before, and I release this image is just in order to release uart2 to use and set uart0 as debug console. |
How to burn image：you just need to use m2m boot from a sd image, then use sd image to install this emmc image on emmc.
