ODROID N2+

Overview

The ODROID N2+ is Hardkernel's flagship SBC based on the Amlogic S922X hexa-core processor — four Cortex-A73 performance cores paired with two Cortex-A53 efficiency cores, clocked up to 1.8 GHz and 2.4 GHz respectively. With 4GB of DDR4 RAM and a Mali-G52 GPU capable of 4K HDR video decode, it delivers desktop-class performance in a compact form factor.

Storage flexibility is a highlight: the N2+ supports both a microSD card slot and an eMMC module connector for faster, more reliable storage. USB 3.0 ports handle high-speed peripherals, while a full-size HDMI 2.0 port outputs 4K video. The board does not include built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth — a USB dongle is required for wireless connectivity.

Armbian provides excellent mainline Linux support for the N2+, making it a popular choice for home automation servers, lightweight desktop computing, and media center builds with software like Kodi. The 12V DC barrel jack power input ensures stable operation under heavier workloads.
