Olimex already have a board based on this same SoC (and others from the same family of AllWinner SoCs), but unlike the Raspberry Pi, are completely open source hardware. (Banana Pi doesn't seem to be open, given the limited information too). The price is the same, and I'd much rather support open source hardware efforts. The schematics and Eagle files are on their github page. More info here: https://www.olimex.com/wiki/A20-OLinuXino-MICRO https://www.olimex.com/wiki/A20-OLinuXino-MICRO They're already working on a board for the next generation A31 SoC too.
