Raspberry Pi has paved the way for a legion of single board developments that allow you to work or have fun doing a ton of projects. In MuyComputer you already know what we like and we do not miss the opportunity to offer you the most attractive ones.
Zidoo M6 is one of the last. It is based on a processor ARM RK3566, a quad-core Cortex-A55 that we have already seen perform in other models such as the Pine64 Quartz64 and although it is almost double the size of a Raspberry Pi with dimensions of 158mm x 95mm, it includes many more ports and expansion options.
And more advanced connectivity, highlighting the optional 5G or 4G LTE module which you can equip thanks to a mini PCIe connector and a SIM card slot, but also the support for modern standards such as Wi-Fi 6.

Zidoo plans to sell this M6 in two configurations– As a single board computer (SBC) or with a mini-PC chassis and ready to go. He has not provided prices, but it must be quite cheap.
The integrator says it will offer support for Linux distributions like Ubuntu 18.04, Android 11 or derivatives of Google’s mobile system such as Station OS for media center or digital signage systems. It also offers support for Buildroot allowing you to create custom Linux images, and Qt and Froglogic for graphical user interface development.
