ODROID-XU - Exynos5 Octa big.LITTLE arm board for $149

How much power does it draw? It would be ideal if I could use it as a Image processor in a robotics application.

Under load according to this video as much as 2 Amps if not more..


goto time 2:05 to see under full load.

I don't know, the fan draws half of the total current?  If we chunk the fan....and stick in 2 batteries like the Shield?

 

[TrashyMG]

The fan keeps the thing from burning up..

I know.  But no one knows for sure without testing it......

Thanks for the info. Does Ubuntu work on it?

Wow it runs that 3dmark pretty well.

I've received my Odroid-XU.

It's quite a neat board.

It's got built in thermal throttling, so if it hits 95c, it throttles back the clocks.

I'm thinking, get a second Pandora case. Strip off the external interfaces and the fan on the XU .

Some spare nubs.

Make a 4 layer PCB with the keyboard matrix, STMPE610, battery charger circuitry and physical interfaces - and ribbon cable in to it from the XU

Put in a 3D printed shim between the bottom halves of the case to make the pandora case thicker.

Put in a horizontal fan which is only powered on if the P1.75 is plugged in to the mains.

Get an AMS465GS01-1 and an ATP047A070A.

And end up with a nice 720p nippy little blighter, that's only a little thicker than a P1, but doesn't need Samsung's cooperation...

Wish I had the time & money However the biggest stumbling block would be getting the screen - no one seems to be able to provide them.
