Some of the key benefits of Cloud IoT Core include:
But the SDKs are somehow different, and based on Allwinner’s press release, only R18 processor gets Google Cloud IoT Core support. So from hardware perspective, there’s no advantage of getting the board with the new R18 processor. Power – 5V via power barrel 3.7V Lithium battery header AXP803 PMIC.Misc – IR receiver U-boot, reset and power buttons.Expansion – 40-pin Raspberry Pi 2 somewhat-compatible header.Security – Hardware security enables ARM TrustZone, Digital Rights Management (DRM), information encryption/decryption, secure boot, secure JTAG and secure efuse.Camera – MIPI CSI interface (which I guess you support parallel cameras via some kind of bridge).USB – 2x USB 2.0 host ports, 1x micro USB OTG port.Connectivity – Gigabit Ethernet + 802.11 b/g/n WiFi & Bluetooth 4.0 (AP6212).
Audio – HDMI, 3.5 mm headphone jack, built-in microphone.
Video Output / Display interface – HDMI 1.4 up to 4K resolution 30 Hz, MIPI DSI interface.Storage – 8GB eMMC flash (16, 32 and 64GB options), micro SD slot up to 256 GB.SoC – Allwinner R18 quad core ARM Cortex A53 processor with Mali-400MP2 GPU.Let’s go through the board specifications first which are exactly the same as for the original BPI-M64 board, except for the processor: But today, Google announced Google Cloud IoT Core cloud service working with a few app partners such as Helium and Losant, as well as several device partners including ARM, Marvell, Microchip, Mongoose OS, NXP… and Allwinner, having just announced the release of an Allwinner R18 SDK with libraries supporting Google Cloud IoT Core. Both processors are likely very similar since they are pin-to-pin compatible, and Pine64 was first seen with Allwinner R18, so I did not really feel it was newsworthy. Banana Pi BPI-M64 board was launched with Allwinner A64 processor, but a few days ago, I noticed the board got an option for Allwinner R18.
