Specifications
Components
Rockchip RK3399 hexa-core SoC (Cortex-A72×2 + Cortex-A53×4) with Mali-T860 GPU.
Overview
The NanoPi M4 V2 is a high-performance single-board computer from FriendlyElec featuring the hexa-core Rockchip RK3399 SoC and 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM. It is the second revision of the NanoPi M4, featuring improved layout, upgraded power delivery, and a dedicated eMMC module connector that supports swappable storage modules from 8GB up to 128GB.
The board provides four USB 3.0 Type-A ports plus a USB-C port for data and OTG connectivity, alongside Gigabit Ethernet and a PCIe M.2 Key-M slot. The M.2 slot can accommodate NVMe SSDs or WiFi/Bluetooth adapter cards, allowing users to configure the board for their specific application. A 40-pin GPIO header is included for hardware interfacing.
FriendlyElec designed the M4 V2 for desktop Linux computing, NAS builds, and media applications. Armbian provides well-supported images with both Debian and Ubuntu. The board requires a 12V DC supply and benefits from active cooling due to the power density of the RK3399 under load.
