Banana Pi
The Banana Pi is a Linux compatible computer with high speed GPIO.
In appearance the Banana Pi is similar to the Raspberry Pi but the hardware is different. The Banana Pi uses the AllWinner A20 whereas the RPi uses the Broadcom BCM2835.
GPIO
The board has a Raspberry Pi compatible GPIO header with 26 pins.

This is the relationship between the Banana Pi GPIO, RPi GPIO, the A20 chip I/O and the Linux sysfs interface.
| Banana Pi IO | Raspberry Pi GPIO | A20 I/O | sysfs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 17 | I19 | 275 |
| 1 | 18 | H02 | 226 |
| 2 | 27 | I18 | 274 |
| 3 | 22 | I17 | 273 |
| 4 | 23 | H20 | 244 |
| 5 | 24 | H21 | 245 |
| 6 | 25 | I16 | 272 |
| 7 | 4 | I03 | 259 |
A ribbon cable may be used to extend the GPIOs. In this instance a female presentation will be given.
