Compatibility and pitfalls
- Board not included : the case is sold on its own.
- Raspberry Pi 3 form factor : Banana Pi states that the M2 Berry can also use Raspberry Pi 3 cases.
- SATA drive : the board's SATA port is only useful if you plan to have a drive and its power supply outside the case.
- Power supply : micro-USB 5 V / 2 A minimum for a stable board.
Recommended accessories
- official Raspberry Pi 12.5 W micro-USB power supply : 5.1 V with a micro-USB connector, suited to the needs of the M2 Berry.
- SanDisk Ultra microSD card : as the M2 Berry has no eMMC, the system boots from microSD.
- USB 3.0 SD/TF card reader: to flash the system image.
