At the end of Last year, we covered Banana Pi BPI-F2S Industrial SBC powered by Sunplus SP7021 “Plus1” SoC with four Cortex-A7 core, an Arm A926 microprocessor, an 8051 core, as well as 128MB to 512MB built-in DDR3 RAM.
The company has now unveiled Banana Pi BPI-F2P with the same processor and many of the same features, but with the addition of PoE support on one of the Fast Ethernet ports, as well as an RS-232 DB9 connector, and RS-485 terminal blocks. The expansion connector for an FPGA board found in BPI-F2S is however gone.
Banana Pi BPI-F2P specifications:
- SoC – Sunplus SP7021 “Plus1” with a quad-core Cortex-A7 processor @ 1.0 GHz, one Arm A926 microprocessor, an 8051 core to handle I/Os, and 128MB or 512MB DDR3 DRAM.
- Storage – 8GB eMMC flash, microSD card slot
- Video Output – HDMI 1.4 output
- Camera I/F – MIPI CSI connector
- Connectivity – 2x 10/100M Ethernet ports, including one with optional PoE support
- USB – 2x USB 2.0 host ports, 1x micro USB port, 2x USB 2.0 interfaces via header
- Serial – RS-232 DB9 connector, RS-485 via 6-pin terminal block
- Expansion – 40-pin GPIO header compatible with Raspberry Pi header
- Debugging – 3-pin header for UART console, SWD ICE port
- Security – TPM 2.0 via ST33TPH2EI2C secure element
- Misc – Power switch, reset button, boot selection dip switch, RTC + CR1220 battery slot
- Power Supply
- 12V DC via power barrel jack
- Optional 12V PoE
- 7.4V Lithium battery connector
- Dimensions – 130x85mm
- Temperature Range – -40C ~ +85°C
Banana Pi BPI-F2P is not available for sale on Aliexpress just yet, but for reference, the earlier Banana Pi BPI-F2S is still sold for $58 plus shipping on SinoVoIP Aliexpress store, and I’d expect the new BPI-F2P board to sell for a similar price. Adding PoE should cost around $5 to $10 based on the existing PoE modules sold by the company.
