Banana PI Open source boards giveaway for developer

Hello. I am a student at the University of Macedonia. I will graduate in September and will continue my studies at the master level.

During my studies, I participated in a project entitled “Using hybrid artificial intelligence models combined with machine learning, Big Data and IoT technologies for forest fire prediction and management”. The research can be found at https://firetell.github.io/. Since the topic of fire prevention is a very important issue for my country, I would like to pursue it in master as a thesis and build an mvp, a model device. The algorithms are available but I’m not sure which model of Banana Pi I could use. Possibly one with processing power but also memory. Please suggest one.

As experience with Pi boards, I have only used the Raspberry Pi. I have built and written documentation for several projects. You can find several here https://iosifidis.github.io/.

I hope you can help me in my thesis. Thanks.

Hey folks,

I run https://shop.plati.ma and have the SBC-focused YouTube channel @PlatimaTinkers.

I am happy to test and review any boards if you want. I share a real-world experience though, so people know what they are getting into. If I find faults or challenges, I’ll share them, and of course also show users how to overcome them if I find a solution.

I am also starting to work on my own add-on components for SBCs, which I intend to make compatible where possible.

If not all good, just saw this thread and thought I’d drop a line.

I’m an editor at 3dnews.ru (also available as 3dnews.kz), a major tech publication in Russia and CIS. Previously, we published a review of the BPI-R4 on our daughter project Servernews. We’d like to do a thorough review of the upcoming BPI-R4 Pro and BE19 too, which will be listed on the main 3DNews site as well as Servernews. Please let me know if you’re interested.

Hello, I am working on SFP NAS with bpi-r4, and sharing used/working hw list and performance results here on the forum already.

I would like test it on the new PRO version of bpi-r4, and I would like copare it also in the question of stability. My actual bpi-r4 I bought on Aliexpress restarted itself “sometimes” without any information in journals. I think that it could be because of high cpu load (>5 but cpu temp < 50) or high iops on raid5 or 6 array/s, but “Mr. nobody knows”.

Thanks for considering my request.

Hi, I’m a blogger currently working on an article exploring the current state of 10Gb home networking. It seems like the upcoming BPI-R4 Pro board could be a good entry point into affordable 10Gb solutions for amateurs and home users. I’d like to test it out and include it in my article. I’m also open to publishing a standalone review post.
