Banana Pi is a line of single-board computers produced by the Chinese company Shenzhen SINOVOIP Company, its spin-off Guangdong BiPai Technology Company, and supported by Hon Hai Technology (Foxconn). Its hardware design was influenced by the Raspberry Pi, and both lines use the same 40-pin I/O connector.

Banana Pi also can run NetBSD, Android, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch Linux and Raspberry Pi OS operating systems, but the CPU complies with the requirements of the Debian armhf port.[2] Most models use a MediaTek or Allwinner system on a chip with two or four ARM Cortex cores.
