Specifications
Components
Rockchip RK3588S octa-core SoC (Cortex-A76×4 + Cortex-A55×4) with Mali-G610 GPU and 6 TOPS NPU.
Overview
The ODROID M2 is Hardkernel's most powerful SBC to date, built around the Rockchip RK3588S octa-core SoC featuring four high-performance Cortex-A76 cores and four efficiency Cortex-A55 cores. Available in 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB LPDDR4X configurations, it targets workloads that demand both raw compute power and memory bandwidth.
Networking is upgraded to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, a significant step up from the 1GbE found on earlier ODROID models, making the M2 especially well-suited for high-throughput NAS and network appliance builds. An M.2 NVMe slot provides fast local storage. The RK3588S's 6 TOPS NPU enables practical on-device AI inference for vision and language tasks.
Armbian provides standard support with mainline kernel images for the M2, including full desktop environments with GNOME and KDE Neon. The combination of powerful CPU cores, large RAM options, fast networking, and NVMe storage makes the M2 a compelling option for self-hosted services, developer workstations, and edge computing deployments. Power is delivered via a 12V DC barrel jack.
