Verdict

Banana Pi BPI-M5

6.9 / 10 Expert Rating

A solid, GPIO-compatible Pi alternative for media and general tinkering, though the driver ecosystem needs more patience than the official Raspberry Pi line.

Real-time PRU coprocessors and guaranteed long-term supply, on deliberately modest silicon.
