The NanoPi M2A is another ARM board developed by FriendlyARM for makers, hobbyists and hackers.

The NanoPi M2A uses the Samsung Quad-Core Cortex-A9 S5P4418 SoC. Its dynamic frequency scales from 400M up to 1.4GHz. It has all the interfaces and ports the NanoPi M2 has and in addition it has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth. It has DVP Camera/LVDS/HDMI/LCD interfaces, I2S, 3.5mm audio jack, four USB ports and a serial debug port. It has power management unit and onboard porcelain antenna.

The NanoPi M2A works with Ubuntu Core with Qt, Android4.4, Android5.1 and Debian8.1. These systems' kernel is fully open source. In addition FriendlyElec provides rich code samples and programming guide.
