The ODROID

ODROID is a brand of single-board computers (SBCs) and other computing hardware developed by Hardkernel Co., Ltd., a South Korean company. These devices are designed to be versatile, compact, and cost-effective, making them suitable for various applications and projects.

Similar to the more well-known Raspberry Pi, ODROID devices are part of the SBC market, which offers a complete computer built on a single circuit board. They typically include a central processing unit (CPU), memory, input/output ports, and other essential components needed for basic computing tasks.

ODROID boards often feature powerful processors, a variety of connectivity options (such as USB ports, HDMI, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, etc.), and expansion capabilities to connect additional peripherals or hardware modules. They can be used for tasks like general-purpose computing, multimedia applications, gaming, IoT (Internet of Things) projects, server hosting, and more.

Popular ODROID models include the ODROID-C series, ODROID-XU series, and ODROID-N2 series, each with its own specifications and capabilities. These devices are often used by hobbyists, developers, educators, and DIY enthusiasts for building a wide range of projects and solutions.
