Expert Summary
The ODROID-C1 is an 85 x 56 mm single board computer built on the quad-core Amlogic S805 (Cortex-A5, 1.5 GHz, 32-bit ARMv7) with a Mali-450 MP2 GPU and 1 GB of DDR3 memory. It offers micro-HDMI output, Gigabit Ethernet, four USB 2.0 host ports and a USB OTG port, a 40-pin GPIO header, and boots from either a UHS-1 MicroSD card or an eMMC 4.5 module. Launched at $35 in December 2014 as a Raspberry Pi alternative, it has since been discontinued by HardKernel.
