Expert Summary
The ODROID-C2 is an 85 x 56 mm single board computer built on the quad-core Amlogic S905 (Cortex-A53, 1.5 GHz, 64-bit ARMv8) with a Mali-450 MP GPU and 2 GB of DDR3 memory. It provides HDMI 2.0 output at 4K/60Hz, Gigabit Ethernet, four USB 2.0 host ports and a USB OTG port, and boots from either a UHS-1 MicroSD card or an eMMC 5.0 module. HardKernel has discontinued the board following end-of-supply of the S905 SoC.
