Banana Pi has begun selling the BPI-CM6 compute module, first revealed in April 2025, featuring the SpacemiT K1 octa-core RISC-V processor. The 40×55 mm module offers up to 16 GB LPDDR4, optional 8–128 GB eMMC, a 2.0 TOPS AI accelerator, CM4-compatible connectors, and an IO carrier with dual Gigabit Ethernet; prices start at about $70 for 4 GB/16 GB modules. Linux images and development tools are provided.
Key Points
- 1Introduces SpacemiT K1 octa-core RISC-V SoC with up to 2.0 TOPS AI accelerator
- 2Offers CM4-compatible board-to-board connector enabling reuse of existing Raspberry Pi CM4 carrier boards
- 3Enables edge and robotics deployments with PCIe, multiple MIPI CSI, and Linux images available
Scoring Rationale
Strong applicability and official availability, but modest novelty relative to existing RISC-V edge modules in market.
