Banana Pi K3 Pico-ITX SpacemiT 60TOPS AI Performance WiFi6 Single Board Computer
The Banana Pi K3 Pico-ITX is a compact AI-focused single-board computer powered by the SpacemiT K3 processor. It combines 2.4GHz processing, up to 60 TOPS AI performance, LPDDR5 memory, UFS storage, and high-speed networking in a Pico-ITX form factor. The board is designed for edge AI, embedded computing, industrial control, robotics, and on-device AI applications.
The SpacemiT K3 platform provides RVA23-compliant RISC-V computing with support for vector extensions and full virtualization. The board supports 16GB and 32GB LPDDR5 memory options, UFS 2.2 storage, and M.2 expansion for NVMe SSDs. Its combination of general-purpose processing and dedicated AI computing makes it suitable for workloads that require local data processing and AI acceleration.
For display and multimedia applications, the K3 Pico-ITX provides USB Type-C DisplayPort output up to 4K at 60Hz and a 40-pin eDP interface supporting up to 2.5K at 90Hz. It also includes onboard audio, multiple USB ports, and flexible expansion interfaces for integrating additional hardware and peripherals.
The board provides 1GbE Ethernet and a 10GbE SFP+ optical network interface for high-speed wired connectivity. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 are available through the onboard wireless design, while the M.2 B-Key interface supports additional expansion cards. Real-time expansion is available through an FPC connector supporting interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN-FD, SPI, I²C, and UART.
With its 100 × 86 mm Pico-ITX form factor, the Banana Pi K3 Pico-ITX is suitable for compact embedded systems, edge AI terminals, machine vision, robotics, industrial automation, AIoT gateways, SD-WAN edge devices, and RISC-V development. The board supports Bianbu 3.0 and Linux distributions including Ubuntu 26.04, OpenHarmony, OpenKylin, Deepin, and Fedora, providing a flexible software environment for development and deployment.
