ODROID-XU for my DARwIn-OP Robot Clone

Today I got my ODROID-XU (ARM Cortex-A15) board. While writing my DARwIn-OP Clone Leg Test post I noticed that HardKernel was doing a presale of the board. I ordered one and got it fast!

The specifications are:
– ARM big.LITTLE architecture.
– Exynos 5410 Octa, with Quad Cortex-A15 1.6GHz CPUs and Quad Cortex-A7 1.2GHz CPUs.
– 2GB RAM.
– USB 2.0 and 100Mbps Ethernet.
– Runs Android or Ubuntu.
– Can use an SD or a eMMC module (8 to 64GB) as hard drive.
– 2 USB 3.0 and 4 USB 2.0 ports.
– 94x70mm board.

The board is very small and low profile. It should be an excellent choice to put on my DARwIn-OP robot clone. The eMMC module comes with Android preinstall, so I’ll be installing Ubuntu and doing some tests.
