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.

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.

Hardware spec

GPIO PIN define

Banana Pi BPI-M64 has a 40-pin GPIO header that matches that of the Model Raspberry Pi 3. Following is the Banana Pi GPIO Pinout:

CSI Camera Connector specification:

The CSI Camera Connector is a 40-pin FPC connector which can connect external camera module with proper signal pin mappings. The pin definitions of the CSI interface are shown as below. This is marked on the Banana Pi board as “Camera”.

MIPI DSI (Display Serial Interface)

The display Connector is a 40-pin FPC connector which can connect external LCD panel (MIPI DSI) and touch screen (I2C) module as well. The pin definitions of this connector are shown as below. This is marked on the Banana Pi board as “DSI”.

UART specification:

The header CON2 is the UART interface. For developers of Banana Pi, this is an easy way to get the UART console output to check the system status and log message.

Windows 10 IoT Core for BPI-M64 Release Note

The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI]) is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. 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) 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! I uploaded core driver binaries and packaging toolchains on GitHub!

Here is the repo address: https://github.com/Leeway213/BSP-aw1689

And also some driver source code here with A64 datasheet in readme: https://github.com/Leeway213/driver-samples

Welcome makers developers and anyone-elsers to post your feedback.
