¶ BPI-M4 Zero Introduction
Banana Pi BPI-M4 Zero is the successor model of M2 Zero. It has a huge improvement in performance. The SOC is upgraded to H618 and the CPU frequency is increased by 25%. The memory is upgraded to DDR4, the capacity is eightfold, and 32G eMMC is added. It supports 5G WiFi(The WiFi chip of K016 does not support 5G WiFi), and the USB interface has also been upgraded to type-C.
It has same form factor and 40-pin connector as the Raspberry Pi Zero W, and it can fit most of the RPI Zero W cases and accessories.
