One of the best features of the ODROID-GO Advance is that you can build it yourself, since it comes in kit form. This means that you can learn how the pieces fit together, do it as a project with your siblings, friends, or children, and have the satisfaction of playing games on a truly unique device that you built yourself!
To assemble the ODROID-GO Advance, unpack all of the parts and verify them against Figure 1. Be gentle when attaching cables to the PCB, and make sure not to over-tighten any of the screws. Read through all of the instructions, and watch the video, before starting.
