The Bananaplug is a small, low-cost, credit-card-sized single-board computer designed for embedded systems development and DIY projects. It is designed and manufactured by Pogoplug, a company based in the United States. The device was first released in 2008 and has since become a popular platform for developers and hobbyists.

The Bananaplug board is equipped with a single-core ARMv7 CPU, 128MB or 256MB of RAM, and 256MB or 512MB of on-board storage, depending on the model. It also features a MicroSD card slot, a LAN connector, and two USB ports. The board is powered by either a USB connection or a solar panel.

The Bananaplug runs a modified version of the Linux operating system and comes with a user-friendly interface called " Web Console." This interface allows users to configure and customize their device without the need for extensive programming knowledge. The device can also be controlled and monitored remotely using the Pogoplug Cloud Engine, a cloud-based remote management platform.

The Bananaplug has been used in a variety of projects and applications, including home automation, robotics, and media centers. It is also widely used in educational settings to teach programming and electronics to students. The device has a dedicated community of users and developers who contribute to theBanana Plug forum, providing support and sharing projects.

The Bananaplug has undergone several revisions since its initial release, with the latest version being the Bananaplug BANANAPLUG-SMC-HA. Despite its evolution, the device remains a simple and affordable platform for embedded systems development and DIY projects.
