Check for R40-CPU, because A40i and A40pro are variants that differ in applicable temperatures range (industrial and military) against the R40: http://linux-sunxi.org/A40i Allwinner R40 (sun8i) SoC features a Quad-Core Cortex-A7 ARM CPU, and a Mali400 MP2 GPU from ARM. It is a not-pin-compatible quad core sucessor of the A20. It's also known as the Allwinner T3 for In-Car Entertainment usage. Allwinner V40 (sun8i) SoC features a Quad-Core Cortex-A7 ARM CPU, and a Mali400 MP2 GPU from ARM. It is the automotive version of R40. and https://www.cnx-software.com/2018/05/06/allwinner-unveils-a40i-a40pro-and-a60i-a60pro-industrial-military-grade-processors/ https://www.facebook.com/pg/sinovoipbpi/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1934780613223842 BPI-M2 Ultra with allwinner A40i chip, A40i is LTS chip design more than 10 years You can check images for the BananaPi M2 Berry or M2 Ultra (R40 / V40 CPU) https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m2u/ because there seem to be versions of the Ultra with A40i-CPU: https://german.alibaba.com/product-detail/allwinner-a40i-arm-2gb-board-banana-pi-development-board-60776126234.html https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32765110548.html http://forum.banana-pi.org/t/bpi-m2-ultra-and-bpi-m2-berry-can-use-allwinner-a40i-chip-onboard/6584 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes- the A40i is only another pin-compatible temperature version of the R40. And the R40 (quadcore-A7-cpu) seems to be a NON-pin-compatible version of the "old" A20-CPU (duacore-A7-CPU) which was on the Banana Pi M1 (Pro) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
