Thank you for your reply.

Isn't the official one a bit overpriced (~30$)? I found this alternative, but I don't know if it will indeed work and which pins to connect. (If you wan to help, please read my other comment below. Thank you!).

EDIT: Nevermind, solved (see /u/OrYouCouldJustNot's comment below)

I got one for christmas and am trying to cool it off, too.
I got a heatsync: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZRDRX8M
And Noctula Fan: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NEMGCIA

But with the thermal pad, it still shoots up to ~96 degrees under full load. It must be the thermal pad because the heatsync stays totally cool with the fan running (it does warm up without the fan).

I wonder if we could put metal shims on top of the two cpu dies to lift the heatsync away from the rest of the surface mount components and then use proper thermal paste to bind them with the heatsync. I'll have to do some research into this... :) Let me know if you guys come up with any other ideas... !

I set up a headless boot-from-usb system with external drive happily powered without ever connecting it with HDMI (good thing, as I don't have the right HDMI cable).

As others told you, ssh is running by default (odroid/odroid).

Following the wiki instructions for booting of USB works nicely, and is a better choice than using SD for the root filesystem - at least based on all the RPi people talking about frequent filesystem corruptions.

Mine, with the Odroid-supplied power supply, happily spins up a HGST Touro S 1TB 7200RPM drive.

I don't really see a problem with using the USB drive - sure it may not be the fastest, but as a torrent and backup server (as I'm using it), it just isn't an issue. I'm pretty sure (?) that the limitation for these uses is the network rather than the disk - for getting files on and off it by whatever means.

Wow, a person in the comments seems to imply it works for him. Even with an external hard driver provided he plugs it in after the odroid boots.

Since I'm going to be running these as headless servers maybe I'll snag one and see how it goes. Thanks for the link!


EDIT: This seems like a better option. And someone in the Q&A confirms it works with an XU4. It's a little expensive though. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NH8QSOY/

So I bought these instead: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07DV1XKZ4

I dunno, 2.5x0.8mm is pretty easy to find on amazon. The same goes for the 5.5x2.1mm, that one is probably the easiest as a number of them are made with plugs that work in 5.5x2.2mm as well.

When you want to load a new OS on your eMMC there's a two-part adapter to get from the USB-A port on your computer to the eMMC chip.

  • The $9.90 item is definitely the first piece, a USB-A MicroSD card reader, I can't tell if it includes the second piece also..

  • The $1.50 item is just the second piece, the MicroSD to eMMC adapter, because many people already have a MicroSD card reader.

    I already had this card reader and it works perfectly with the $1.50 MicroSD to eMMC adapter. Ameridroid lists them both separately and together, and when together it says "eMMC to microSD Adapter + Transcend USB3.0 reader/writer [0091 0106-NE]"

I use coreelec and the N2, and while I use ethernet, my understanding is that coreelec supports several USB-Wifi adapters. This is a good thread on the topic:

For example, looks like this one would work:

I bought an HDMI to VGA adapter off Amazon ($9 USD) about 2 years ago and it works great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F8WFEZQ/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I especially like that it has the analog audio-out jack on the side. This product isn't currently available on Amazon right now, but the link will at least give you an idea of what's out there.

If you're just after HDMI to DVI, converter cables are also around $9 USD: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HSQO5QO/ref=dp_prsubs_1

It doesn't terribly need a fan, as the heatsink is big enough to keep it at reasonable temps under load as long as you're not putting it in a really tight enclosure.

If you're still set on active cooling buy a case with a fan or 3D print a raspberry pi case with a fan mount.

802.3af is 15.4 watts, 802.3at is 25 watts, 802.3bt is 100 watts. From my understanding these are the amount of power output at the Power Sending device. This doesn't account for the 15%-25% loss while going over the fairly thin Ethernet cables. I use LINK for my HDHomeRuns, rPis, Microtik Switches, and Rokus. They work pretty well. They're all powered from a Cisco 3560.

Well, I'm going to be using a Noctua fan (Noctua A-Series Cooling Fan Blades with AAO Frame, SSO2 Bearing (NF-A4x10 FLX) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009NQLT0M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_75GcBbXV86GKS). Do I need to worry about that with this?

u/cachedrive · 1 pointr/ODroid

I purchased a new UHS-1 class microSD. Specifically a 64 GB PNY XC: http://amzn.com/B00N2ROG9O

I have made sure the switch is positioned correctly on the device. When I follow the steps to install Arch on the microSD, the unit never boots. The red LED stays on for hours until I turn it off.

I don't think you need shims. All the cores are in the large die. My stock heatsink had plastic over the thermal pad which should have been removed. I discovered it while in the process of replacing the heatsink so i didn't do any testing with it removed.

I've attached this heatsink with thermal paste and a noctua fan and have had a decent improvement in temps.

Using this as a benchmark, my stock times in time2throttle were:

2 instances- 42.4 s

3 - 6.9

4 - 2.3

After the upgrade the times were:

2 - never hit

3 - 46

4 - 5

Suffice to say, I believe the heatsink is making adequate contact without any shimming.

note: time2throttle only runs properly in ubuntu.

looks like the sata connectors don't fit well with the acrylic case, you may want to use angled connectors such as this one

> Requires a power adapter sold seperately (rpi can use an old android phone adaptor)

You're not required to use the power adapter that comes with the C1. It's also possible to use a 5V/2A Android phone adapter with the C1 by using a $1.50 third-party USB-to-Android cable (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009PB7N6E).
