Shenzhen Xunlong Unveils the Orange Pi Zero 2, a 64-bit Quad-Core Single-Board Computer
With wired and wireless network connectivity, four 64-bit Cortex-A53 cores, and up to 1GB of RAM, the Orange Pi Zero 2 is a big upgrade.
Shenzhen Xunlong Software Co. has unveiled the latest entry in its ever-growing Orange Pi family of single-board computers: the Orange Pi Zero 2, a compact board with gigabit Ethernet, up to 1GB of RAM, and an Allwinner H616 system-on-chip (SoC) at its heart.
"Time to introduce our new member of Orange Pi Zero 2," the company posted to Twitter by way of announcement. "Allwinner H616 64-bit processor, 512MB/1GB RAM to choose, gigabit Ethernet, 2.4g/5g Wi-Fi + BT 5.0, support Android 10, Ubuntu, Debian."
Designed as an update to the Orange Pi Zero Plus2, the new board includes a 26-pin GPIO header, a single USB 2.0 port, micro-HDMI video and audio output, a gigabit Ethernet port, dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 radio, and four 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 processor cores running at 1.5GHz.
Additional expansion is available through a 13-pin "function interface," which includes analog audio output, two additional USB 2.0 ports, composite video output, and support for an infra-red receiver. The board launches with a choice of 512MB or 1GB of DDR3 memory, 2MB SPI flash, and a microSD card slot for storage — with the 8GB eMMC flash of its predecessor nowhere to be found.
Pricing and availability for the new board have not yet been confirmed, with updates available from Orange Pi's official Twitter account.
