$35 NanoPi K1 Plus: A Raspberry‑Pi‑like SBC with 2 GB RAM, Allwinner H5 CPU, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet—ideal for kiosks, media centers, and DIY projects.

FriendlyElec’s latest single‑board computer resembles the Raspberry Pi 3, sharing features such as a 40‑pin GPIO header, built‑in Wi‑Fi, and a quad‑core ARM Cortex‑A53 CPU.

While the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is powered by a 1.4 GHz Broadcom BCM2837 SoC, the NanoPi K1 Plus runs on a 1.3 GHz Allwinner H5 SoC paired with a Mali‑450 GPU.

It comes with 2 GB LPDDR3 RAM—double the amount found on the newest Raspberry Pi—and supports microSD storage as well as an optional eMMC module.

$35 from FriendlyElec makes it an attractive, budget‑friendly alternative.

Additional connectivity includes Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 1.4 capable of 4K@30 Hz playback, a 3.5 mm audio jack, three USB 2.0 ports, and a micro‑USB OTG port for power or data.

Onboard features such as a microphone and IR receiver open possibilities for kiosk, digital signage, or media‑center deployments.

Linux support began in 2017; FriendlyARM offers an Ubuntu Core‑based image called FriendlyCore. Detailed specs and setup guides are available on the FriendlyElec Wiki.

If you prefer a more mature ecosystem, the Raspberry Pi platform still boasts extensive community support and a wide range of OS options.
