Banana Pi BPI-F2S SBC is Powered by SunPlus SP7021 Processor

BPI Tech, a spinoff from SinoVoIP, has introduced a new single board computer with Banana Pi BPI-F2S powered by SunPlus SP7021 “Plus1” SoC with four Cortex-A7 cores, one older ARM9 real-time core, and one even older 8051 IO controller. The chip also embeds up to 512MB DDR3 memory.

The board comes an 8GB flash, dual Fast Ethernet, HDMI, a 40-pin Raspberry Pi compatible GPIO header, as well as headers for an optional Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA expansion board.

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
• USB – 2x USB 2.0 host ports, 1x micro USB port
• Expansion
  • 40-pin GPIO header compatible with Raspberry Pi header
  • 2x 50-pin FPGA interface for Trenz Electronic TE0725LP-01-100-2D  Artix 7 FPGA board
  • Undocumented 50-pin header that may be routed to the 40-pin RPI signals.
• Debugging – 3-pin header for UART console, 10-pin JTAG header, SWD ICE port
• Security – TPM 2.0 chip ST33TPH2EI2C
• Misc – Power switch, reset button, boot selection dip switch
• Power Supply – 12VDC via power barrel jack
• Dimensions – N/A

The company provides a Yocto-based Linux distribution for the board, but so far there’s no source code nor firmware for download. Sunplus Plus1 and BPI-F2S SBC are said to be suitable for IoT/Industrial Internet control, smart audio, smart payment, FPGA education & development, as well as automotive networking technology and applications.

BPi-F2S board was introduced on Hackster.io a few days ago, and more technical details can be found in wiki.banana-pi.org/Banana_Pi_BPI-F2S.
