Introduction

The NanoPi NEO Plus2 is another Allwinner based

ARM board developed by FriendlyElec. It uses

Allwinner's 64-bit quad-core A53 SoC with hexa-

core Mali450 GPU and features 1GB of DDR3 RAM

and 8GB eMMC.

With a small size of only 40 x 52mm the NanoPi

NEO Plus2 has rich on-board resources: AP6212A

WiFi & Bluetooth module, Gbps Ethernet and two

USB hosts. It supports system-boot from a MicroSD

card.

The NanoPi NEO Plus2 has a carefully designed

power system and 6-layer PCB layout. These

features enhance the board's heat dissipation.

The NanoPi NEO Plus2 meets popular IOT

applications requirements for small size, high-speed

and large throughput data transmission and high

performance computing.
