Issues with the ODROID N2+ with Armbian Twister OS & 5 inch touchscreen display for our own special application

Last Updated on May 5, 2023 by pg@petergamma.org

It is the first device which we know which supports touch on Armbian at that level

  • It has a Bluetooth and and a Odroid Wifi dongle.
  • It has an usb hub
  • the video shows SSD boot with Armbian Twister OS
  • the display is powered over usb and touch goes over usb
  • touch works without pen
  • The latest OS can be downloaded from the Twister OS website.
  • The video shows a keyboard
  • The video reminds of Martijn Braams video about the PinePhone with an USB-C dock and offers an alternative to this setup:
  • The box includes a HDMI cable
  • The reviewer bought a box with an ODROID N2+ which includes accessoires.
  • The reviewer bought the box used.
  • It includes speakers for the display.
  • Headsink and fan included.
  • The reviewer uses a big keyboard for typing, is it a usb?
  • The keyboard is not plugged in the hub, but the reviewer did not show it how he pairs it, either.

The reviewer Byteman shows in a second video a game demo on theThe Odroid N2 and the x86 emulatore BOX86 – he shows the CRYSIS game

The setup shows Armbian with a 5 inch touch display, but it is not clear how the keyboard pairs, and the video shows only a game demo, similar to the many game demos for the Radxa zero. We need more information about other application to find out if it works for us.

The ODROID-VU5A 5inch HDMI display with Multi-touch and Audio capability is available from Hardkernel:

Issues

  • The demos of the reviewer show mainly games installed on a x86 emulator
  • How is it to install mainstream applications?
