The NanoPI NEO Plus 2

the guys at Frendly elec Just created a very interesting board witch check a lots of mark in the things I look for in a SBC,

  • First : a good CPU
    the Allwinner H5 , is a powerful enough CPU that you might need to cool if you wish to use it at it’s full potential
  • Lots of RAM , 1GB DDR3
    the main issue i have with the OrangePI zero is that there is only 512 MB of ram in the biggest version. for a  lot of usages , it’s not enough.
    1GB should be plenty
  • integrated flash memory
    the problem with µSD card is that they degrade overtime , and after a year or two , you will see problem with you card unless you take special precaution to limit writes to the SD card.
    With eMMC the life of the memory should be longer.
  • Wifi b/g/n with a well supported chipset : the AP6212
  • Some GPIO’s
  • GIGABIT ethernet ,  a must have !

the price is 24.99$ at http://www.friendlyarm.com
