Product Description:

Banana Pi BPI-R2 Pro is a smart router development board launched by Banana Pi, equipped with Rockchip RK 3568 processor, onboard 2GB LPDDR4 memory and 16GB eMMC storage, supporting 2 USB 3.0 ports and 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports. M.2 key-E and mini PCIe interfaces, 2 mipi DSI interfaces (one can be changed to LVDS through software), 1 CSI camera interface, 1 HDMI output

RK3568 has built-in Rockchip Micro Research NPU, 0.8Tops computing power, and integrates high-performance AI accelerator RKNN NPU. Rockchip also provides developers with an easy-to-use model conversion tool RKNN-Toolkit, which supports one-click conversion of mainstream architecture models of Caffe/TensorFlow/TF-Lite/ONNX/PyTorch/Keras/Darknet.

RK3568 has rich interface expansion capability. Support a variety of peripheral high-speed interfaces, support 4 USB2.0 interfaces, 4xUSB2.0 HOST+ 1xUSB3.0 HOST+ 1xusB3.0 OTG. Support Gigabit Ethernet*2, support multiple cameras, support MIPI CSI 4Lanes, can be divided into two groups of 2x2Lanes for independent use, support 16bit DVP interface, support BT1120 input, support VC mode. RK3568 has a complete display interface, supports HDMI 2.0 output, supports dual-channel MIPI DSI, dual-channel LVDS, can drive 2.5K LCD screen, can directly drive ink screen, and supports eDp. RK3568 is rich in peripherals, supports 10x UART, 6x I2C, 16x PWM, 4x SPI, 8xSARADC and MINI PCIE.

The Rockchip RK3568 chip is a general purpose PURPOSE SoC designed for consumer industry applications. The CPU adopts 4-core A55 architecture processor, integrated G52 GRAPHICS processor, built-in independent NPU, and runs Android 11 and Linux. RK3568 is mainly customized for consumer products such as tablet computers, speakers with screens, Android pens, dictionary pens, etc., as well as face-scanning POS machines, e-books, cloud terminals, video phones, NAS storage and other industry products

The BPI-R2 Pro is the same size and interface as the Banana Pi BPI-R2, and can use the BPI-R2 case.
