It features 2GB of RAM and 8GB eMMC. It also has onboard WiFi and BT. On the ports side, the BPI-M64 has 2 USB A 2.0 ports ## Introduction Banana Pi BPI-M64 is a 64-bit quad-core mini single board computer. It features 2GB of RAM and 8GB eMMC. It also has onboard WiFi and BT. On the ports side, the BPI-M64 has 2 USB A 2.0 ports, 1 USB OTG port, 1 HDMI port, 1 audio jack, and lastly a DC power port. The processor is pin-to-pin comptialbe with R18, so it comes with two versions:M64 and M64-R18. ![Banana PI BPI-M64](https://3787950353-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M2HWtQTyIAkOz2ABWvA%2F-McxODckrI8Dl6fPK_kd%2F-McxOftmKu0y2FZOCbtU%2FBPI-M64.jpg?alt=media\&token=8e5ba0c8-77d6-400e-836b-c447f72c33ec) Also being a member of the Banana Pi family, the M64 is a big jump from the octa-core BPI-M3. This is because this Banana Pi BPI is named after its 64-bit SoC. BPI-M64 will be reserved for an upcoming board BPI-M64 is an open platform device, it is for anyone who wants to play and build with developer technology instead of simply using consumer technology. Backed by our community, starting a project and building servers is fun and rewarding. We welcome all companies, DIYers, and tech loving people within our community! Together, we can make a difference, we can discover our passions, inspire others, and build a practical project. ### Key Features * Allwinner A64 1.2 Ghz Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53 64-Bit Processor. * 2 GB DDR3 SDRAM * 8G EMMC * 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet * WiFi (AP6212) & Bluetooth * MIPI LCD interface * Camera interface ### Getting Start * How to burn image : [Quick Start Banana pi SBC](http://wiki.banana-pi.org/Quick_Start_Banana_pi_SBC) * how to development: [Getting Started with M64](http://wiki.banana-pi.org/Getting_Started_with_M64) ## Hardware ### Hardware interfact ![](https://3787950353-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M2HWtQTyIAkOz2ABWvA%2F-McxODckrI8Dl6fPK_kd%2F-McxOqSwKPKjn_GA7TT8%2FBPI-M64%20hardware%20specification.jpg?alt=media\&token=2295a9bb-7519-4ab5-935e-b984abc45e50) ### Hardware spec | **HardWare Specification of Banana pi BPI-M64** | | | ----------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | CPU | Allwinner 64 Bit Quad Core ARM Cortex A53 1.2 GHz CPU | | GPU | Dual core Mali 400 MP2 GPU | | Memory | 2GB LPDDR3 (shared with GPU) | | Storage | MicroSD slot with support for up to 256GB expansion and 8G eMMC flash with support for up to 64GB | | Network | 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet + Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0 | | Video Input(s) | A CSI input connector allows for the connection of a designed camera module | | Video Output(s) | 1080p capable HDMI port and multi-channel audio output (NO H./X.265 capabilities) | | Audio Input(s) | On board microphone | | Audio Output(s) | 3.5mm jack and HDMI | | USB ports | USB 2.0 PORT (x2), USB OTG (x1) | | Remote | IR Receiver | | GPIO | 40 Pin Header : GPIO (x28) and Power (+5V, +3.3V and GND).

UEFI replaces the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware interface originally present in all IBM PC-compatible personal computers AllWinner UEFI Firmware Release Notes This document describes how to build AllWinner UEFI Firmware and bring a AllWinner dev board up with it. The AllWinner UEFI Firmware, as the major boot system for AllWinner-Windows platform, is based on the EDK2 framework which is open-source and with some AllWinner platform software packages injected. Some updates:1. Update the OS version to build v.10.0.15063.0 \\(Creators Update\\)2. New page style of Device Portal, visit [\[1\]](https://deviceipaddr:8080/)([https://deviceipaddr:8080](https://deviceipaddr:8080/)) to check it3. Built-in Cortana assistant, need to be enabled in settings page in default app and Device Portal4. Support on-screen keyboard, need to be enabled in Device Portal5. Enable 100M Ethernet and fix some bugs6. Support built-in UART bus in A64 SoC\\(not built in the ffu, later provide driver binary and deployment helper\\)7. Support built-in IR module in A64 SoC\\(not built in the ffu, later provide source code and dev doc for developers in community\\) Known Issues:Kernel debug is enabled by default. This will slow the bring-up process. If a kernel debug is not necessary for you, visit Device Portal and navigate to Processes->Run Command page, run this command to disable : Bcdedit /store C:\EFIESP\EFI\Microsoft\boot\BCD /set {default} debug offAn PnP bug in audio device may cause a blue screen when acting software shutdownEthernet device may not start with problem code 12 at the first time to bring up And another bomb!
