You can do many things with the Raspberry Pi, but it's not the only computer code and, in the end, the options offered are limited. Some computer boards that we will show you below simple and cheap, and many others perfect but also very expensive. Of course, it won't be because there are no other Raspberry Pi 4 modes.
Onion Omega 2 Plus
This is one of the cheapest Raspberry Pi 4 models on the market, although of course it is Chip. It works with LEDE (Linux Embedded Development Environment), a Linux distribution based on OpenWRT.
NVIDIA Jetson Nano
This is a plus, because it's one of the least expensive, but also the most comprehensive because, in fact, it's a mini computer. In this case, it tends to be artificial intelligence (for its SDK more th an anything), but it powers up to 472 GFLOPs.
ASUS Tinker Board S
This is an alternative to the more complete Raspberry Pi 4 than it already is, because it's also a mini-fault that works well, not just the upgrade board. It has the same 40-pin connector that we find on Raspberry but offers a modern processor and GPU. It should be noted that it includes 16 GB of eMMC memory as standard, so unlike Raspberry it doesn't require a Micro SD card to work.
Arduino Mega 2560 R3
This upgrade board is prone to robotics and 3D printers, and has a significant difference with regard to RasPi, since it has no processor like this but a microcontroller (in this case the ATmega 2560 at 16 MHz).
Rock64 Media Board
This upgrade board is one of the best options on the Raspberry Pi 4, because it has a faster processor and twice as much memory. It has a 4-core Rockchip RK3328 ARM processor and supports 4 GB of LPDDR3 memory.
ODROID-XU4
Another alternative. It's a development board that does just that with the Raspberry Pi, but in this case it features a powerful Samsung Exynos 5422 processor with eight cores at 2 GHz and four other cores on the 1.3 GHz Cortex A7. It has 2 GB of LPDDR3 RAM and Mali T628 MP6 GPU.
Beagleboard PocketBeagle
This device is very small, and very similar to the Raspberry Pi Zero. Its primary use is to connect it via USB to the signal and be able to use Linux on it.
Banana Pi BPI M3
The famous Banana Pi, too, is another option we would have if we didn't want the Raspberry. This model is equipped with a quad-core A31S ARM Cortex A7 processor, POWERVR SGX544MP2 GPU and 2 GB of LPDDR3 RAM.
Orange Pi Zero
Orange Pi Zero is another complete and cheaper upgrade board than the Raspberry Pi. TG has a quad-core processor and supports up to 512 MB of RAM, specifically that it has direct WiFi.
NanoPi M4
We reached the storage area with the NanoPi M4, which is a very expensive option but will give us many options, since we can buy it with 2 or 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM, with and without heatsink, and many other options.
