After my experience with Banana Pi R1, I would hesitate to buy Banana Pi
again.  I don’t think I can buy Pine64 in my country.  Olimex can be
found on the local market, even with FreedomBox, cool, although it is
apparently relatively expensive.  So the choice is actually very limited
compared to the ubiquity of Raspberry Pi.
