Odroid N2+ 4GB Ram with 12V 2A Power Supply

Product Information

Maybe a coreelec version with ethernet, couldn’t add that much cost and I seem to remember another coreelec odroid in the past. The Odroid N2+ CoreELEC (4GB) version is an Odroid N2+ bundle which has a pre-installed version of the CoreELEC OS, allowing for a full multimedia playback system straight out of the box. Exit to the shell, and run pb-update - it should, if all goes well, spend a few minutes in the firmware update process.

The large heat sink in the metal housing is designed to optimise the heat dissipation of CPU and RAM and minimise throttling.I like having the onboard eMMC plus an SD card reader, because that means I can easily blow images onto uSD cards for other systems (if it seems like I use small ARM systems to troubleshoot, install, and mess with other small ARM systems, that’s quite fair).

Additionally, the onboard RTC backup battery source was changed to a widely available bare CR2032 coin cell instead of a proprietary one.

Since the actually measured power consumption is less than 1uA, the RTC can run for over 10 years with a CR2032 backup battery. It has the Petitboot loader which easily supports booting from flash drives, SSDs, and other types of storage.

Conveniently for some, the firmware will grab an IP address and you can update things over the network - it’s quite nice.

If you’re digging around for used hardware and can only find the N2s, don’t worry too much about it. Today I’m going to review the ODROID N2+ and examine the available image choices, benchmark the performance of the board, take a look at the capabilities and give some general recommendations about who would best benefit from using a board like this. Edit: I’m guessing this is what was vaguely referred to above so maybe it’s already being worked on. The Odroid N2+ CoreELEC (2GB) version is an Odroid N2+ bundle which has a pre-installed version of the CoreELEC OS, allowing for a full multimedia playback system straight out of the box.Note that you have to use the Minimal Ubuntu OS image to utilize the GPU acceleration instead of the Ubuntu Mate image. For a variety of reasons, I’ve been trying to make the random ARM SBCs function as computers, and for my needs, the ODroid N2+ is a better system than the Raspberry Pi. There’s quite a bit more CPU performance to be had, though the memory systems still more or less suck… nobody is going to mistake this for one of the Apple Silicon M1s. That said, the jump in clocks on the big cores does make a real difference in performance, and I use the N2+ boards for most of my needs. Thanks to the modern 12nm silicon technology and a revised silicon design of the S922X SoC, the A73 cores run at 2.

We tested the latest PPSSPP emulation and it can handle x3 scaling on a 4K display nicely with well implemented VSYNC. As far as I can tell the ‘ne’ devolpment is still in the air for these, bit i can’t really imagine support ending completely. Little architecture which integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A73 CPU cluster and a dual core Cortex-A53 cluster with a new generation Mali-G52 GPU.

Given that in current market conditions it’s still generally cheaper than most Pis I would say it’s definitely worth considering over the Pi and a very solid choice!
