[arm-allstar] Banana Pi - BPI Single Board Computers Official Website

[David McGough]

Hi Pete,

Take a look at the reviews for any of these boards. Most (all?) of the
Banana Pi boards use AllWinner SoC chips which have ZERO manufacturer
support and a tiny user support community as well; at least in the USA.

After spending hours and hours trying to resolve USB problems with Odroid
hardware and having the manufacturer NEVER release a solution, I'm rather
uninterested in most of the clone boards which are trying to grab some of
the glory, attempting to ride the Raspberry Pi 3 coat tails.

For now, unless you're a Linux systems guru, have got man-weeks of time
available and just want to experiment for heck of it, the RPi3 is without 
any doubt the small board of choice.

Just my $0.02, your mileage may vary!
