FriendlyARM\u00a0recently launched<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0its NanoPi Neo Plus2 developer board, which competes against the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.<\/p>\n

The Neo Plus2 board boasts slightly better specifications than the Pi 3, with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of eMMC storage.<\/p>\n

The newer board is also smaller than the Pi 3 and has a recommended retail price $10 cheaper than its competitor.<\/p>\n

Both boards include GPIO pins for interfacing with hardware and IoT applications, and both devices are powered by a single microUSB port.<\/p>\n

While the Pi offers greater community support and choice of software, the NanoPi aims to usurp it as a perfect fit for IoT devices.<\/p>\n

The NanoPi Neo Plus2 also works with UbuntuCore 16.04 and supports a NAS Dock using Debian.<\/p>\n

The specifications of the boards are detailed below.<\/p>\n
