Sinovoip Banana Pi M2 Zero
This page needs to be properly filled according to the New Device Howto and the New Device Page guide.
Banana Pi M2 Zero is H2+ based development board produced by Sinovoip.
Despite its name the M2 Zero is totally incompatible to Banana Pi/M1/M1+/Pro/M2/M2U/M3/M64 due to a different SoC - requiring different boot loaders and drivers. It's another attempt to cash-in on the Banana Pi's popularity with a SBC sharing only Brand-name, form factor and GPIO header.

Please note that as usual we can not rely on the hardware description. The vendor's fex file is wrong at least wrt voltage regulation.

- Please be aware that 'information' on BPi M2 Zero Gitbook page is mostly copy&paste from other Banana Pi pages and as usual we can't trust in anything there (even product dimensions are still wrong, the PCB is not 60x30mm but 65x30mm in reality)
