In my last article I was setting up my ODROID-H2 as a first computer (running Linux) for my 7 year old son. As you know, with great power comes great responsibility, so this means I have to be able to enforce some limits on computer time. ▶
@pearllinux created a video surveillance image based on Ubuntu 18.04 using the 3.16.75 kernel, featuring pre-installed and active upon first boot Motion Video Surveillance Software running in User Mode. Come check it out! ▶
Hardkernel offers a few USB based WiFi modules to enable WiFi connectivity for their Single Board Computers (SBCs). Some of them can also be used to deploy these SBCs as Access Points. ▶
Ever since I started working with Home Assistant and automating various things around the house I wanted to have a way to control the lights. I looked at smart light bulbs, like Philips Hue, but they are expensive. Also, most solutions use proprietary protocols or cloud services which may leak personal data, or might stop working in the future leaving you with expensive paperweights.

What is Box86? Box86 is ▶
While the Raspberry Pi is a popular single-board computer (SBC), the ODROID-XU4 is a solid competitor. Maintaining a small form factor, the ODROID-XU4 packs quite a performance punch. Powerful yet energy-efficient, with an ARM big.LITTLE processor, the ODROID-XU4 features the Samsung Exynos Cortex-A15 2GHz and Cortex-A7 octa-core CPUs. ▶
Recently, I decided to build my own cell phone out of an ODROID-GO Advance using a SIM800L module which included a speaker and mic. Thanks to the ample space inside the case, this hardware installation was pretty easy. For this build, I used a Debian Buster image with the SIM880L connected to the ODROID-GO Advance’s UART2. ▶
The staff at Hardkernel built a big cluster computing setup for testing the stability of Kernel 4.9. The cluster consisted of 200 ODROID-XU4’s (i.e, with a net total of 1600 CPU cores and 400GB of RAM) ▶
