#1 The Odroid SBC Family
Posted: Sat May 04, 2019 2:38 pm
Odroids are an interesting family of -amongst others- SBCs (Single Board Computers) made in South-Korea by Hardkernel Co., Ltd.
(or, as Korean people write (from right to left): (주) 하드커널, pronounced as 'Hadeukeoneol Ju', the Ju being the Ltd.)
Odroid is short for Open + Droid. It is a development platform for the hardware as well as the software.
You can buy them all over the globe:

So far they've made SBC boards for the following SOCs (seemingly to focus a bit on Samsung products at first):
The Odroid SBC Family
The Odroids started out 2009-2012 as game consoles, tablets, mobiles and their first SBC, the Odroid PC (2011) originally targeted as a Internet TV and Smart Set-top box development platform, was at a pricy $350. Prices for SBCs have since dropped significantly, the first cheap one was the Odroid-U2. The Odroid-W could be seen -with a little fantasy- as a prototype for the later Raspberry Zero, sharing the same SOC, the Broadcom BCM2835. Hardkernel have since losened the ties with their original SOC supplier Samsung and present boards are not only with the Samsung Exynos 5422 (Odroid-XU4) but also with AMLogic SOCs (Odroids-C1, C1+, C2 and N2) and there is even an Intel-J4105 powered SBC (Odroid-H2).
The table presented above is more or less in chronological sequence, the last eight models can still be bought (The Odroid-C1 only in the improved version: the Odroid-C1+, improved models of the H2 (H2+) and the N2 (N2+) meanwhile also have surfaced.
