Hardkernel’s new Intel platform, the ODROID-H2, will be available in November 2018. And we now bring you many advantages that encourage us all to start x86 platforms as well as the ARM architecture. ▶
This code and guide are intended to demonstrate GPIO IRQ handling on the ODROID-C1+/C2/XU4/N2. The guide was adapted from the ODROID wiki page at https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-xu4/application_note/gpio/rpi.gpio_irq. We can simply implement GPIO IRQ handler with Python 2/3. In this guide, we will use Python 3 for programming the handler. Before getting started, ▶
Although I normally only talk about the ARM based ODROID boards I want to talk about the ODROID-H2 today and something that you can do on it. Since the ODROID-H2 is a standard x86_64 (amd64) board you can do exactly the same configuration steps that you perform on every other ▶
When it comes to the ODROID-H2, my use case for it is to work as a virtualization host, to run a few test VMs to run software on, or test upgrades of systems for my company (e.g. upgrading from older OS versions to newer versions). Looking at the forum, I ▶
In my last article, I demonstrated that it’s rather easy to install and configure KVM and some tools to create and control VMs directly under Linux. This time, I want to talk about some advanced features you can use with KVM for free, that in other hypervisors are only available ▶
The OG Xbox rocked our world - we still call the media player 'the xbox' to this day. After it was modded it became a media powerhouse that was way ahead of its time. And now it is time to emulate it itself! ▶
Like a generic PC, the ODROID-H2 has a soldered 8MiB BIOS Flash ROM on the board. It meets the UEFI Specification 2.6 and the PXE boot requirement. However, Intel UEFI firmware doesn't support CSM version 2.0 for legacy OS booting such as DOS, XP, Windows 7, and so on. ▶
After receiving inspiration from the excellent OpenSCAD H2 Model posted at https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=172&t=33824, I created a remix of the fantastic Raspberry Blade Center to house 3 ODROID-H2 units. I made the following changes to the original project: Migrated the files to SolidWorks Built an assembly Aligned the fasteners Widened the cart ▶
This article will take a look to see what is needed to set up a basic Linux gaming system on an ODROID-H2. ▶
Last month’s issue of ODROID Magazine featured an article “Lakka: Building The Ultimate ODROID-XU4 / XU4Q Gaming Console”, available at https://magazine.odroid.com/article/lakka-building-the-ultimate-odroid-xu4-xu4q-gaming-console/. This article focused on gaming with a ODROID-XU4, however, there is a potentially even more powerful ODROID, the H2. While the ODROID-XU4 does an amazing job at retro gaming, ▶
