Does the bananna pi have the same gpio drivers and gpio pinouts? But I
just did a google search, finding such info is non-existant. So never
mind.
I guess one could buy one but after my experience with the rock64, 2 of
them, its not worth the hassle. Support essentially isn't. For the
banana Pi, there is nothing on their site but a cycle of pictures, none
of which are clickable to find out more about an individual board. Sure,
they want you to buy thru their dealer tree, but to bother clicking on
one of those links, I'd need to have a reason, and their factory site
didn't give me a reason to do that. I also made note that there are NO
US based dealers.
