FriendlyARM Releases NanoPi2, A Cortex A9 Quad Core ARM Board

FriendlyARM
The NanoPi2 quad core Cortex A9 Linux single board computer has been
released as a high performance companion to FriendlyARM Computer Company’s
NanoPi board. NanoPi2 features a Samsung S5P4418 Quad Core A9 processor at
1.4GHz. The NanoPI2 includes 1GB of 32bit wide DDR3 RAM, loads of video
modes and display interfaces, and two MicroSD slots. The on-board AP6212
Wireless and Bluetooth chip provides 802.11 b/g/n, AP mode, BLE 4.0 and HS
mode. This is a complete open source project with open source boot-loader,
kernel, and file systems. New Wiki and Git Repositories with plenty of
tutorials fill out the support system. NanoPi2 sells for only $32 US and
has a 40 pin header compatible with Raspberry Pi and NanoPi, and the Matrix
family if sensors and drivers.

Camera: 0.5mm spacing 24 pin DVP interface
GPIO: 40 pin GPIO pin header, compatible with Raspberry Pi’s GPIO pin
header
Debug Serial Port/UART0: 2.5 mm spacing 4pin interface

The NanoPi2’s fast processor makes quick work of booting Linux and Android
from a TF card. The Raspberry Pi compatible GPIO 40 pin header makes it
compatible with both Raspberry Pi external GPIO modules and Arduino shield
boards. The two MicroSD slots support two external TF or MicoSD cards. One
for the OS and the other for user application data. There is a header for
an RTC battery. The video and display interfaces include a high def DVP
camera interface, an HDMI interface and an LCD interface which works with
various popular display devices. The NanoPi2 on-board AP6212 Wireless and
Bluetooth chip supports 802.11 b/g/n, AP mode, BLE 4.0 and HS mode. The
MicroUSB connector is seen by a Linux host as an Ethernet Gadget. One UART
is brought out to a serial header and provides a serial terminal. On the
NanoPi2 Wiki, FriendlyARM open sources the schematics, PCB, boot-loader,
kernel and file systems, and provides plenty of tutorials and code samples.

Sorry, we didn't release the PCB file. Sorry for that misleading
information.

> Sorry, we didn't release the PCB file.

Does "didn't" mean we forgot to release it or you will not be releasing it?
 If you are not gong to release it I suggest you change the webpage you
linked to.

Could you link to a site where you can buy these units, ie the NanoPi and
NanoPi2? 

Looks like a nice unit.

Another suggestion try to get one or more knowledgeable engineers to answer
questions about using these units on the forum.  You will generate a lot
more interest and hopefully sales if you improve your support efforts.

Regards,
davef

As per a recent cnx-software.com posting seems we can now order this device
and have it delivered via China Post ... at a much cheaper rate.

Does this also apply to other FriendlyArm product?

FriendlyARM
Hi Davef,

Yes you are correct. We can deliver products via CHINA POST, however I
should remind you that it might take CHINA POST up to one month to ship.
