Pictured fan is an option and is not included with the N2+


Our Linux Starter Kit for N2+ has what
you need to get started in one kit
along with a printed guide!

The ODROID-N2+ is a speed upgrade to the original ODROID-N2 that is even more powerful, more stable, and faster performing than the N1. The main CPU of the N2+ is based on big.LITTLE architecture which integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A73 CPU cluster and a dual core Cortex-A53 cluster with a new generation Mali-G52 GPU. Thanks to the modern 12nm silicon technology and a revised silicon design of the S922X SoC, the A73 cores run at 2.2GHz (formerly 1.8GHz on the N2) without thermal throttling at normal room temperatures using the stock metal-housing heatsink allowing for a robust and quiet computer. The CPU's multi-core performance is around 22% faster than the original N2. The N2+’s DDR4 RAM runs at 1320Mhz. The large metal housing heatsink is designed to optimize the CPU and RAM heat dissipation and minimize throttling. The CPU is placed on the bottom side of the PCB to establish improved thermal characteristics.

The manufacturer tested over 300 samples of the revised ODROID-N2+ boards overclocked to 2.4GHz and did not experience any problems with them, resulting in a 33% clock frequency improvement over the original N2. However, overclocking to 2.4GHz is not guaranteed due to the SoC not being certified for that speed.

A cooling fan may be required to prevent “throttling” due to the SoC temperature if the computing load is continuously high at 2.4Ghz clock speed and the ambient temperature is 35°C (95°F) or higher.

Additionally, the onboard RTC backup battery source was changed to a widely available bare CR2032 coin cell instead of a proprietary one. You can keep the time over several years once a coin battery is installed.

Additional items required to operate -  see "NOT INCLUDED" section below

KEY FEATURES

Warranty is valid for 6 months, starting upon date of receipt.

 eMMC Note from Customer: 

I was able to extend the partition, and now I can see all the space. Just in case anyone else having the same issue: 
1. Resize the partition with "cfdisk /dev/mmcblk0"
2. Force disk check "touch /forcefsck" 
3. Reboot "init 6"
4. Resize the disk "resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2"

Thank you Moshe!!

Good all around home server.

I was looking for a good solution for a general purpose home server powerful enough to run a bunch of docker containers. This was the most powerful at the price point that didn't require any peripherals or adapters or heatsinks etc to work. It's an excellent little computer, an old desktop PC could do the job but not with such a tiny power footprint.

O-Droid N2+ - Home Assistant Blue!

I love love love this low power computer. I purchased two as the usb ports stopped working (known design flaw on first batch); the new one was literally plug and play from the first!!

I exclusively use this for home assistant. Seems to handle zigbee well with an external radio (updating to ZBT-1 shortly!) and has kept up well with all my and my family’s automation needs!!

Works fairly well for a media center system

I bought this mostly to connect to a TV and watch videos with and it works pretty well in 1080p. Not so much at 4k. I haven't tested it in 2560x1440 because my TV doesn't like 1440p.

I'm running Armbian and it's fairly responsive with the OS on an SD card. I bought an eMMC card to go with it but that was shipped to me later so I haven't even taken it out of the bag yet. I suspect the eMMC card will improve responsiveness when launching applications and such.

I haven't used the N2+ all that much yet but I think it will be pretty nice for my use case once I figure out how I want everything set up.

Get 15V 4A power supply!

The recommended 12V 2A power supply is under powered for the N2+. My board just blinked RED with it. My board worked correctly when I went to the 15V 4A power supply (Stead RED; blinking BLUE), and I was able to boot up.

Odroid N2+ Thumbs Up

Not being an IT guy, I bought this board based on the fact it supported open source software and had the power to stream the newer standards for video. The cool product name was an added bonus.

I've installed Coreelec and it has breathed new life into my smart tv whose apps only seem to mange anemic versions of 720p. I'm still learning the Coreelec interface, so I imagine the experience will only get better.

I'm not running a fan, so the temperatures are higher than what I like. I'm going to adjust frequencies in the boot file, to see if that lowers temps a bit. I've had good success doing so with my graphics card on my desktop.

I'll be experimenting with Armbian and Vivaldi in the future, to surf the web for my favorite sites, and might even work up to doing a dual boot with Coreelec.

All in all, I'm very happy with the product and great customer service, including some custom AmeriDroid guitar picks. Perhaps for my next major purchase I'll demand some M&Ms with the brown ones removed.;-)
