While comparing the OrangePi Mini and the Banana Pro, I noticed that the Banana Pro connects its wifi chip via SDIO whereas the OrangePi Mini uses a USB connection.
My naive understanding is that the BananaPro choice is better since the A20 already provides the SDIO connection, whereas the OrangePi Mini ends up needing a USB hub (an FE1.1s chip, apparently) where only 2 of the 4 outputs is used. Also, http://www.orangepi.org/orangepimini/index.html states: USB | 2 USB 2.0 host, 1 USB 2.0 OTG (all direct from A20 chip) but if I understand the schematics, that's not true since one of the two USB host ports of the A20 gets fed to the FE1.1s hub. Am I missing something? One more thing: I couldn't find schematics for the BananaPro. Did I just not look at the right place, or does LeMaker really fail to distribute that info (which would suck)?
