Banana Pi is an open source hardware project lead by GuangDong BiPai technology co., LTD. It focuses on the open source hardware development board of ARM and MCU series, provides open software and hardware platform, and creates the basic technology development platform. Full series open source hardware products, complete integration of voice, data, video system platform. Developers can flexibly build various application platforms on the open source hardware foundation platform. It can be applied in the Internet of things, AI artificial intelligence, industrial Internet control, STEAM education and other aspects.

The Banana Pi boards are inspired by the Raspberry Pi project, and some of the models have an equivalent Raspberry version which is hardware compatible and exactly the same size so that they can work as drop-in replacements for projects that are designed around Raspberry Pi boards. The Banana Pi boards are more powerful than the Raspberry boards, and have more features, for example many Banana Pis such as the Banana Pi M1+ come with a SATA port. This means they can run off a proper hard drive rather than an SD card which has been the cause of a lot of reliability trouble with these single-board computers.
