ODROID C0 with Amlogic S805

Description

The ODROID-C0 is a computer for those who wish to make a more flexible and portable applications. It is a minimized hardware version of the ODROID-C1+. Battery power circuit is fully integrated. Just attach a 3.7V Li+ battery and make it mobile. It is highly suitable for IoT projects, wearables, and other applications that require a lightweight device.

All the ODROID-C1/C1+ OS images are fully compatible with the ODROID-C0. Some of the modern operating systems that run on the ODROID-C0 are Ubuntu, Android, Arch Linux, Debian, and OpenELEC, with thousands of free open-source software packages available. There are also plenty of custom OS available for using the ODROID-C0  as a multimedia center, Kodi, gaming station, headless server and much more at our ODROID community.

The key features and improvements over the original ODROID-C1+

• Amlogic ARM® Cortex®-A5(ARMv7) 1.5Ghz quad core CPUs
• Mali™-450 MP2 GPU (OpenGL ES 2.0/1.1 enabled for Linux and Android)
• 1Gbyte DDR3 SDRAM
• eMMC4.5 HS200 Flash Storage slot / UHS-1 SDR50 MicroSD Card slot
• 40pin + 7pin GPIOs (unpopulated)
• USB 2.0 Host x 2 (unpopulated)
• Infrared(IR) Receiver (unpopulated)
• Li+ rechargeable battery charger for wearable and robots application
• Battery voltage level is accessible via ADC in the SoC.
• DC/DC step-down converters for higher power efficiency
• DC/DC step-up converter for 5Volt rails (USB host and HDMI) from a Li-Polymer battery
• DIY friendly C0 Connector Pack is available for handy prototyping

* An additional MicroSD card or an eMMC module is required to install the OS. We recommend the eMMC module as it has much higher performance than standard MicroSD cards.

The ODROID-C0 is a low cost and light weight variant to the original ODROID-C1+ model. The PCB size is reduced about 24% and the weight is reduced to 16g from 40g.

• Adding a Li-polymer battery management IC.
• Remove the Gbit Ethernet connectivity.
• Reduce the number of USB host ports to two from four.
• Remove the USB-OTG port.
• Unpopulated a few connectors for various DIY projects.
