The Odroid XU4q for our own special application?

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

  • It is not the latest device available, what Raspberry Pi’s aren’t.
  • The reviewers uses Ubuntu minimal with the DKE plasma desktop.
  • 4 k resolution not available, but this does not matter to us personally.
  • The 1902 x 1200 is sufficient for our own personal application.
  • The device is powerful enough for our own special application
  • Bluetooth and WIFI dongles where available form Hardkernel for the device, there are also offers for it on ebay.

Issues for our own special application

  • The reviewers says it runs hot with the passive cooler and needs another fan, else it troddles.
  • We could add another fan, but…
  • We need a device for mobile applications which has a long battery life.
  • Does a device which produces a lot of head not also draw a lot of power?
