New Product: ODROID-H2+ is Back and Better Than Ever
The popular and powerful ODROID-H2 has been upgraded for the second time, and is now called the ODROID-H2+!
The first revision after the original model was called Rev B, and the new version is now Rev B+.
Here are the amazing new features:
- Upgraded CPU from the Intel J4105 to J4115
- Upgraded NIC chipset to RTL8125B, capable of 2.5 Gbps Ethernet
- Increased GPIO pins from 20 to 24 to add USB2.0 and HDMI CEC signals
- Changed 12V SATA power circuit to improve the suspend-resume power control sequence of 3.5" HDDs
- 100% hardware and software compatible with Rev B, including physical dimensions
Additional notes:
- In order to use the HDMI CEC signals, a 3rd party CEC adapter board is needed
- For Linux, drivers for the 2.5 GbE ports must be added manually as of release as the upstream kernel needs a patch to support this functionality
- Manually compiling Realtek's driver: https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-h2/hardware/install_ethernet_driver_on_h2plus
- Installing a DKMS .deb package with Ubuntu OS image without Internet connection: https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-h2/hardware/install_r8125_dkms
- For Windows 10, no drivers need to be added to support the 2.5 GbE

I also have an Odroid H2 and I’m fully satisfied of it. Great product.
I wanted to know if any upgrade was available, and I was surprised to read that hardkernel discontinued this product because of world chip shortage.
Hope it will be back.
Got a Rev B as nas and microserver, and a H2+ as router, these are the best sbcs I have ever had.
I own an Odroid H2 Rev B. It hosts a Upnp AV Music Server, “Universal Media Server”. I was surprised to find that the H2 handles transcoding very, very, well. The system has a 2TB NVME m.2 PLUS dual Samsung 860 EV0 SSD drives. It works great. I highly recommend the Odroid H2. I’m glad to see that HardKernel continues to evolve this board.
The only caveat I would emphasize is that the DDR slots are fragile. It’s better to purchase known compatible DDR4 memory.
I also purchased the KKSB case. It rocks. Plenty of room for the aforementioned dual-SSD drives. Overall, it makes for a great system!
