Raspberry pie user alternative: banana pie development TV box

It has been found that Aunt Mao’s article on the development board “Raspberry Pi” is not much. I would like to start with my little brother.

Not long ago, the family’s millet box was borrowed by Lao Zhang’s family and the family’s leader said he would buy another one. Adhering to the principle of what it means to be worth saving, I have contributed to the idleness of the "banana pie" development board and let it play as a TV box.

It is not like the Raspberry Pi, but it is called the banana pie and is a member of many fruit development boards.

At the beginning of the year, the magical Raspberry Pi released his third-generation hardware product, the raspberry Pi 3 Model B development board. I believe that many people have already followed up. It is necessary to say that only 200+ soft sister coins are used to buy decorations. Nice:)

It is equipped with a 64-bit 1.2GHz quad-core chip and 1GB of memory. Performance is 50% higher than that of Pi 2.

Although the Raspberry Pi has developed into the third generation, there is still a flaw that does not natively support Android. Banana pie can, in addition to supporting all the Raspberry Pi firmware, restore support Android 4.4, is really suitable for TV boxes.


In this bought, BPI-M2+, Quad Core 1.2GHz CPU.1 GB DDR3 RAM.Mali-400 MP2 with Open GL ES 2.0/1.1.8 GB eMMC Storage. Onboard Wifi. Onboard Bluetooth. When I come back Open the photo.

Compared with the 3rd generation Raspberry Pi, the performance is similar and the price is similar. The biggest difference is that the banana pie has more 8G onboard storage and supports the use of the onboard eMMC. The TV box also saves a TF card. After brushing the rom is like this

Sorry for using the map in the forum, because there is no difference. I'm not happy to take another screenshot.

When the remote control is not available, it can be connected to a wireless mouse. Left-clicking and right-clicking are not very troublesome either. Then tried the millet's Bluetooth remote control, even directly easy to use. There is a problem, can not shut down the software, can only pull the power ...

In order to be more in line with the style of the TV box, it is convenient for the family to lead and operate, and the UI of the stone ROM recommended by the mother is used. The effect is this

Sorry, this is still a picture in the forum

Then you can use it as a normal TV box. Any Android apk can be installed anyway.

Finally say a few questions:

1. The banana school looks like picking the hdmi line. It is almost impossible to use the adapter.
2, the local video player with stone rom is not very good, there are players who can recommend to see
3, m2+ is said to use the jack head power supply, but I tried to use the microusb port power supply is better, that power adapter can actually be saved
4, then the chip is a bit hot, in fact, raspberry pie now has this problem, summer air-conditioned room is OK, no air conditioning must be connected to the fan, do not ask how I know.

Well, let's exchange it:)
